    He will be strong in October. Book it.
  3. moonslav59
    Maybe just 3.

    He's not that far from your projection, and it seems like his defense and base running has improved.
  5. moonslav59
    Great point!

    My two are Pomeranz and Kelly. I expected Devers to struggle and Vaz to decline.

    I'd like to see Wright go 3-4 innings every 3rd day, unless we think he can go 2 innings every other day.

    No, I firmly believe JF had a warped sense of doing what he felt made the players happy but the team worse. This wasn't the only time he did this. His failure to demote struggling stars in the line-up was another major blunder. I seriously doubt Sale went to JF and asked for the chance to get 300. (I could be wrong.)

    No, Farrell did.

    That very well might be the ones. If these guys keep doing poorly, I may start agreeing with notin on the idea that with such a weak pen, maybe we should carry 8 RP;er not 7 as I have been suggesting for weeks... just so we can have a quicker hook, if needed. Of the three you mentioned as questionable, I see Hembree with best chance. I see Velazquez and Johnson as still having a chance. I agree that Cuevas and Scott are almost totally out of consideration, and Poyner might squeeze in. Barnes is a wild card with the hip. I'm wondering if using pitchers who can got 2-4 innings might be a better choice, so as to lessen the need for 7th and 8th inning set-up guys- our weakest area. This might give a slight edge to Eovaldi, Wright, Pom, Velazquez & Johnson. I'm wondering why Cora has not used Wright as the first guy in and leaving him in for 3-4 innings.

    Our defense has been shaky, of late. The JD-Betts mix-up, Bogey's throw, Pearce at 1B, Devers throws, and even JBJ having a ball hit off the side of his glove. I am at a loss for who makes the pen roster for the playoffs. It's almost as if everyone is doing their best to prove the DON'T belong.

    Bogey is no longer quiet about anything. He has arrived! He's nearing the .900 mark this late in a season. Awesome!
  13. moonslav59
    They knew. They signed Nunez, which was about the most they could spend on 2B/3B without going over the max penalty line. In all fairness to DD, much of the major salary issues were Ben's fault. I think DD felt we'd be strong enough at other positions, which we have been, to absorb a possible net loss at 3B or 2B. Pedey's non return coupled with Nunez's struggles have made the choice look worse than it might have been. Let's see what DD does with HRam, Pom & Kelly's contracts coming off the books next winter.

    Not only is he so young, but it shocks me that people are worried that in his first 672 PAs in MLB, he has put up these numbers: .255 26 85 (.750 OPS) No doubt, his defense needs a lot of work, but his offense has been better than expected- lots of ups and downs but overall very good for his age and experience level.
  15. moonslav59
    Devers did not get the majority of innings at 3B in 2017. He had more than anyone else, but not the majority. 2017: 508 Devers 364 Marrero 213 Pablo 139 Rutledge 77 Holt 72 Hernandez 57 Lin 47 Nunez 4 Selsky 2 Vaz Devers played 36% of the 3B innings last year.
  16. moonslav59
    Nice win. Bogey's throw almost blew it, but getting on base all 5 times makes it hard to be too critical. Good to see Moreland get some love. For those who didn't think it was OVAAAH, do you now?
  17. moonslav59
    Because it's impossible a team as great as the Sox can lose all 10 or even 7 out of 10. Impossible means impossible. It's a lock made of titanium.
  18. moonslav59
    It's weird, but there are actually more Sox players declining from last year: 6 Moreland- just barely JBJ- by a little Vaz Leon Devers Nunez On the rise: 4 Betts Bogey Beni Holt (These are huge increases, though) And, the replacement of HRam & Young with JD has been priceless.
  19. moonslav59
    The M's tried to hand the game to the Yanks, but they declined the offer.
  20. moonslav59
    He's only 28. His defense should be fine for the length of his next deal. No matter: he ain't coming here.
  21. moonslav59
    Not according to Baseball Reference. BR has these average WAR numbers since 2015: 3.5 Bogey (4.1 per 650 PAs) 1.7 Iggy (2.8 per 650 PAs) If you add to the equation not signing Pablo had we kept Iggy, it's no brainer choice.
  22. moonslav59
    Johnny Peralta. I believe he got hurt, and then they made the trade.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not trying to claim Iggy's defense even things up with Bogey, but I do think it's closer than many like to admit. I've also always claimed it wasn't an either or choice. We could have kept both by moving Bogey, and we still could for next year, but I admit there is a zero chance it happens.
  24. moonslav59
    I know. We've already discussed this. That's why I was wondering why you questioned the statement's direction towards the season or tonight's game.
  25. moonslav59
    I said as much way back when.
