    Awful hitter? Streaky, yes, but awful, no. He's got a 10.7 WAR over his last 461 games. That's about a 3.4 per 155 games. He's got an 8.9 WAR since 2016 (6th among CF'ers). He's at 3.6 since the start of 2017 (12th ranked). He has a .701 OPS since 2017 and the league average CF'er OPS this year is .720. Once could argue JBJ has been below average on offense since 2017, but I wouldn't say, "awful." He's also been quietly putting together one of his longest stretches of decent offense dating back to May 12th. He's doing what everyone has wanted him to do- be consistent- for almost 3 months, and yet we still hear the bickering.

    Me too. It's another example of the "fire & desire" I thought we were lacking last year. This team is so much fun to watch!

    Why not call up Lin? Is it the 10 day rule?
  4. moonslav59
    It was an emergency situation last night. It should not happen again. Messing with a GG RF'er in the best groove of his life is not something I want to see again.

    Ockimey and to a lesser extent Travis and Chavis have until Moreland's contract expires after 2019 to show they belong in the bigs. For all of them, that's enough time, barring injury. It would be great to be able to plug in a min contract into a big money position after 2019.

    This surprises me coming from you. One should expect a regression to the norm and not a bad stretch that evens things out. It's like flipping a coin heads 5 times in a row- it's still a 50-50 call on the 6th flip.
  7. moonslav59
    Yes, indeed and no BBs.
  8. moonslav59
    They might be a tough wild card play-in opponent as well.

    No. Having to resort to playing Betts at 2B. Thought it was obvious based on the thread title.
  11. moonslav59
    Could happen. I think they are only 5 back from the 'stros.
  12. moonslav59
    You'd think with all the money being thrown around by Henry, they'd splurge on medical staff and trainers to protect their assets. The extra money wouldn't even count towards the luxury tax!
  13. moonslav59
    It's one of the worst things that happened this year. I'm just glad he didn't get hurt.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm waiting for someone to blame Sox management for causing this injury and preventing Swihart from "getting a real chance." I'm not sure blaming the trainers counts.
  15. moonslav59
    Only if the other team agrees to pay all his salary, would we agree to trade him. The fact that no team seems to think he's worth it answers why he's not on our 40 man roster as well, since most teams are not paying a tax on their budget and none but us are paying the max.
  16. moonslav59
    Tearing it up? Yes, the BA looks very nice, and an OPS of about .825 is good, I'm not sure I'd say he's playing so great as to get other teams drooling over this 31 year old.
  17. moonslav59
    Best OPS before tonight's games: (342 players with 140+ PAs) 1. Betts 1.085 2. Trout 1.083 3. Ramirez 1.040 4. JD M 1.038 5. Arenado .983 6. J Soto .973 7. Pearce .973 10. Judge .947 24. Torres .894 27. Beni .885 40. Hicks .858 42. Bogaerts .855 43. Stanton .855 80. Gregorius .818 86. Moreland .812

    Is there still no word on anyone picking HRam up?
  19. moonslav59
    Agreed. We have these possible openings on the 40 man roster due to impending free agency: Kimbrel Pomeranz Pearce Eovaldi Kelly Kinsler Here are some bubble players currently on our 40 man roster: Chandler Shepherd Austin Maddox William Cuevas Sam Travis Justin Haley Marcus Walden Bobby Poyner Pedroia (retirement?) 1 from Vaz/Leon/Swihart (all out of options) Marco Hernandez Robby Scott
  20. moonslav59
    Great game by Porcello. I hope this quiets the doubters for a while. Great to see we added a new Yankee killer in Pearce. Great to see Moreland get a couple hits. Sweep these clowns!
  21. moonslav59
    Where are all the posters who roasted our "weak bench?" True, we added Pearce & Kinsler since those statements, but still...
  22. moonslav59
    Betts at 2B. Some one here finally got his wish.
  23. moonslav59
    Good point. We'll see what happens when he opts out. He'll be two years older.
  24. moonslav59
    It was a step in the right direction. Let's hope his next two starts show more improvement.
  25. moonslav59
    If Nunez, Kelly and Vaz are is worth about $4m a year, then Betts is worth at least 10 times that ($40M+).
