    What sort of SP'er return can we get for JBJ? What if we add scraps like Holt or Travis? What if we add Groome or Chavis? Unless we get something very good, I'm not seeing an overall good winter outcome, even if we get JD.
  2. moonslav59
    Jete got hosed. He couldn't have done any worse by waiting. He let GS play him and he got screwed.
  3. moonslav59
    He'd have widened the teams, once he started the season in Miami.
  4. moonslav59
    The off season is not over. We could still sign JD and trade JBJ or sign a big time pitcher and be $30+M over the limit.
  5. moonslav59
    I could see that. So, this is it? 1) Bogey 2) Betts 3) Beni 4) Devers-HRam 5) Moreland-HRam 6) HRam- JBJ 7) JBJ- Pedey/Marco 8) Pedey/Marco- Brentz DH (as HRam plays 1B and Moreland is on the bench) 9) Vaz SP1) Sale SP2) Darvish SP3) Price SP4) Pom SP5) Porcello
  6. moonslav59
    He's a throw-in or non inclusion.
  7. moonslav59
    All along, I've been saying Stanton will not bring as big of a return as most think, but this was ridiculous. Jeter blew it by rushing the decision and allowing Stanton to narrow the choice to basically 1 team as the other 3 on GS's list were not serious bidders.
  8. moonslav59
    The only other option I see is this: Sign JD Martinez to play LF and trade JBJ & Wright for a solid SP'er.
  9. moonslav59
    I'm turning towards anti-Dave with this signing.
  10. moonslav59
    vs RHPs 1) R Betts 2) L Beni 3) R JD M 4) L Devers 5) R HRam or L JBJ (if not traded) 6) L Moreland 7) R Bogey 8) R Pedey 9) R Vaz vs LHPs 1) R Betts 2) R Bogey 3) R JD DH 4) R HRam 1B 5) L Devers 6) L Beni 7) R Pedey/Hernandez 8) L JBJ 9) R Vaz
  11. moonslav59
    I'd prefer Betts 2nd or 3rd, but if we get JD, I'm okay with the idea: 1) Betts RF 2) Beni LF 3) Bogey SSv LHPs/ HRam DH v RHPs 4) JD LF 5) Devers 3B vs RHPs/ HRam DH v LHPs 6) Bogey SS vs RHPs/ Devers 3B vs LHPs 7) Moreland 1B 8) Pedey/Hernandez 2B 9) Vaz C (JBJ & Wright traded for a 3 slot SP'er)
  12. moonslav59
    JD is not getting 7 years from anyone. He may not even get 6. I'd offer $130M/5 with a $20M option for year 6 with a $5M buyout. So, basically it's... $135M/5 or $150M/6
  13. moonslav59
    I hate the signing, but I'm happier it's not Hosmer.
  14. moonslav59
    $6.5M x 2. I don't like the second year, but I guess we can trade him, if we get Machado next season.
  15. moonslav59
    It has to be JD, next....right?
  16. moonslav59
    As much as I dislike the move, I'm thrilled Hosmer is out of the picture.
  17. moonslav59
    Desultory Dave
  18. moonslav59
    JBJ was never platooned. He was benched, demoted and jerked from MLB to AAA, but never came close to an actual platoon with anybody. He only started 26 games in 2013 (21 vs RHPs and 5 vs LHPs) 2014 starts: (team 113 to 49- 70% RHPs) vs RHPs: 45 (68.2%) vs LHPs: 21 Difference: -1.8% (NOT a platoon, since he faced a higher percent of RHPs than the team average) 2015 starts: (team116 to 46- 71.6%) vs RHPs: 74 (66.7%) vs LHPs: 37 Difference: -4.9% (Not a platoon at all- not even close. He faced about 5% less RHPs than the team average!) 2016 starts: (team 125 to 37- 77.2%) vs RHPs: 119- 82.1% vs LHPs: 36 Difference +4.9% (Maybe a slight platoon, but more like they gave him his normal days rest vs LHPs.) 2017 starts: (team 125 to 37- 77.2%) vs RHPs: 104- 79.4% vs LHPs: 27 Difference: +2.2% (Not a platoon) There is zero evidense JBj was ever platooned. Career splits: .735 vs RHPs .703 vs LHPs He's probably got one of the closest career splits on the team.
  19. moonslav59
    I think Bogey is better suited for lead-off. If we sign JD and Morrison (assuming 2+ years), we will not likely have enough to sign Harper or Machado the following year unless we dump salary somehow. I guess we could go over the second penalty level, but I doubt it. Remember, the tax will also be higher in 2019 due to going over in 2018.
  20. moonslav59
    I agree, but he's going to get that 3 weeks, so we might as well discuss things on that premise.
  21. moonslav59
    Hosmer is too wildly inconsistent from year to year. He offers no more power than Moreland had/has. His defense is over-rated. Giving Hoze 4 or more years will be the biggest mistake any GM makes this winter. It's so bad, I'd give up getting JD just to not get Hoze. That's how strongly I feel about the hoze.
  22. moonslav59
    Unlike Wake, Wright did not have excessive passed balls. That is part od the reason some people are adverse to knuckleballers. I used to pitch knucklers in slow-pitch softball, so I have an affinity to them. They not only mess hitters up, but sometimes it affects them the following day(s).
  23. moonslav59
    Wright has put up some decent numbers. 2014-2016 250 IP 18-11 3.49 (Better than any other Sox pitcher in this period with 250+ IP.) 82 ERA- 1.25 WHIP 2014 AAA: 5-5 3.41 in 95 IP 2013 AAA: 8-7 3.46 in 135 IP '12-'13 winter: 0-1 2.48 in 29 IP 2012 AA & AAA: 10-7 2.54 in 142 IP 2016 was not a fluke.
  24. moonslav59
    ...and if Pedey comes back, Hernandez will squeezze Holt, Marrero or Swihart out of a job. (Then, there's Brentz.)
  25. moonslav59
    I guess you have written off Wright due to the spousal incident.
