    Of course- or 2-3 ...lol.

    If all we do is sign Bregman and some mid level RP'er, I'm going to be super pissed off. I'd say I'll boycott games, but I haven't been in 2 years. I'd say I'll stop watching NESN, but I'm an addict needing my fix.
  3. moonslav59
    I found this with no mention of an earlier date: Only teams with available spots on their 40-man roster can participate in the Major League phase. I think we could have drafted, but traded for a Rule 5 guy instead.

    It's not often players have great seasons after 32. Here is a list of top fWARs since 2016 by 34 or older players: 6.8 Goldschmidt 6.2 B Crawford 5.4 Kinsler 5.3 Posey 5.2 Beltre, Springer 5.1 Lowrie 4.7 Cruz, 4.6 Ortiz, 4.5 Cruz 3 @ 4.0, 3 @ 3.9, 4 @ 3.5-3.8 6 @ 3.0-3.4 15 @ 2.6-2.9 24 @ 2.0-2.4 That's 64 players at 2.0 plus in 10 years, or about 6-7 per season. 118 at 1.0 or more. That's not a lot. (12 per year.) Pitchers: 6 at 6.0+ 3 in the 5's 8 in the 4's 8 from 3.5 to 3.9 9 from 3.0 to 3,4 42 in the 2's That's 76 at 2.0 or more (7-8 per year) 155 at 1.0 or better (15-16 per year.)

    Alonso will be 35 for his last season of this deal. That's to the midpoint of his 30's and no longer. I'd have been fine with a 6th yr added if it brought down the AAV a bit. Instead of $31M x 5, maybe $29M x 6. (He's make $21M in that extra year.)
  6. moonslav59
    We had a roster slot open and still do. (Grissom deal.)
  7. moonslav59
    There is "still time" and "plenty of talent out there," but there are plenty of teams looking more willing to ante up on the final asking price. We kinda lucked out that Bregman fell into our laps and we saw a resurgence by Gio and Story. We need to get bold before all that's left is mold.
  8. moonslav59
    The 10 year deal was basically "forvers," but that didn't last for any longer than the Gio deal.
  9. moonslav59
    If I had to guess, I'd say $150M/5 or $130M/4.
  10. moonslav59
    We seem to have mastered the trades for Rule 5 picks. So, that was the open slot on the 40- not ALONSO!
  11. moonslav59
    Well, $140M is pretty close to $155M. If it's 4 years, the AAV and tax hit would be higher.
  12. moonslav59
    Paez taken with second pick by CWS. No other Sox player drafted. Sox drafted nobody.
  13. moonslav59
    Paez taken second by CWS, and nobody else. No M & M. (Mullins & Monegro) No Song. No Dance.
  14. moonslav59
    The same position but an older Bregman who will take up a ton of budget space for many years to come. We need better than Bregman (Marte?) or Bregman plus another big bat. No, that big bat should not be counting on Casas or 300 more PAs from Anthony.
  15. moonslav59
    Bregman will cost close to what Alonso got, so I'm not so sure your first sentence lines up with the Breggie call.
  16. moonslav59
    Oh, just a couple letters off. LOL. (Just jivin' yah!)
  17. moonslav59
    We might settle on... Bregman and Hoskins Marte and Suarez Polanco and Paredes We're probably done with a search for a solid #2, although Brez refused to sat Gray was one.
  18. moonslav59
    You make some good points, but isn't the important thing to know is how many 30-32 year olds who are still FT'ers go on to play 2, 3, 4 or more productive seasons? I'm not sure comparing them to all those who never made it to 30 matters much. Age decline is real and very common. It's the norm not the exception. It's not always easy to judge who will age well. If someone could do that...
  19. moonslav59
    We also had a 35 point Home-Away OPS differential, so the offense was not really as good as the OPS showed. (We did score runs on the road more than we probably should have.) We also went from .759 to .724 first half>second half. I do think our offense will be near top 10 just brining back Bregman, but we need to strive for top 5 or 6, minimum.
  20. moonslav59
    Looks like another Plan U, V, X winter.
  21. moonslav59
    Indeed, and needing to ask why is a head-scratcher. (Yes, I used that term again- last one was over the JBJ trade.)
  22. moonslav59
    Wonder if $168M/6 was even thought of.
  23. moonslav59
    Bringing Bregman back is fine, but we get no better than 2025 with just him coming back.
  24. moonslav59
    No, once again you are wrong. I said, if the offers were even, "I THINK" he'd prefer BOS. Big difference.
  25. moonslav59
    Okay, FIP and fWAR say hell yes, but Gray is a year older and Oviedo is a promise, of which we have 10 of them already. I'm not pulling stats out of the air. I like ERA- and OPS Against. ERA- 78 Bello ________________ 80 Giolito (145 IP) .685 OPSA 104 Gray (181 IP) .726 OPSA 115 Buehler (126 IP).795 OPSA 83 Oviedo (40 IP) .626 OPSA Looks pretty close, to me.
