    So Sonny Gray had been on a pretty good run until he saw the sox and got smashed... You mean the 2 game stretch before getting shelled against the Sox on Apreil 12th? I guess he did get his ERA down from 6.92 to 4.93 before the next Sox shellacking, but in those 12 games between, he allowed.... 5 ERs 3 times 4 ERs 2 times 5 out of 12 is kind of sketchy.

    He came up huge in just about every single series in our 3 championship seasons, except one, but in that one (.427 OPS), he hit the big grand slam vs Detroit. His other playoff appearances (2 in 2003, 2 in 2004, 1 in 2005, 2 in 2008 and 1 in 2009, he was only over .697 in 2 out of 8 times. His playoff OPS is .016 higher than his regular season OPS and .009 lower than his Sox OPS. Papi was the man.

    Teddy was the greatest. That pretty much sums it up.

    The Pats just get caught: the Yanks are better at hiding it. I'm still waiting for the discovery that steroids were in the drinking fountain in the Yankee clubhouse for decades.

    I've been a huge JBJ supporter since day one- mostly because I love defense and JBJ's calm approach. That being said, if we trade him this off season, I won't be shocked or hurt, as long as we get a great glove OF'er to replace him.

    I never said we always had the hardest schedule, but we're never near the easiest- EVAH!
  7. moonslav59
    No, actually, if you put Seattle in a division with NYY and BOS, one of the other 3 teams would have to go elsewhere. If you swapped out the O's, you might not finish in 3rd.

    Groome got hurt. He has until after 2020 to reach rule 5. I'm not saying our most recent draft picks are great, but poor draft picks is not even close to the major reason our farm is weak. DD dealt away mega farm talent. That is the main reason by far. BTW, Mata and Groome are just 19- a little too early to imply they are failures or duds.
  9. moonslav59
    Was that when they had Amos Otis in CF?
  10. moonslav59
    One would be wrong...like almost every year.
  11. moonslav59
    They've always been the best cheaters in organized sports.

    Well said, Max. I'm very happy in what I've seen so far this year. We seem to have more energy and desire. We never give up. We have good pitching, hitting, running and defense. Maybe we won't ebnd up #1 in any category, but we'll be near the top in all.
  13. moonslav59
    The biggest reason our farm sucks is because we called up Devers and Beni early and traded away about 15 guys that at some point were in our top 20 prospects. It's not because of poor drafting, except for pitchers. (Even the pitchers we drafted or signed as IFAs helped bring us back a lot in trade.) How high would our farm system be, if we had Beni, Devers, Moncada, Kopech, Espinoza, Basabe, Allen, Asuaje, plus others including Groome & Co.
  14. moonslav59
    I wish every Sox player would struggle the recent Devers.

    There were so many bargains in January and even February. If we truly did not have a big concern about going over the max line, I think we should have (would have?) gone over then and still left the option to make some deadline deals if anyone was injured or struggling. I'm still not convinced we will go over, and I've been going on the assumption we didn't want to. Maybe I've been wrong (not the first time). I do still think we might deal Pom to free up space, if he ever gets some value back. If we go over, I'm wondering about going over by $5-10M not $1-2M. At this point the difference is not that much once the penalty is kicked in anyways.
  16. moonslav59
    Right, my bad. Even more reason for Cashamn to kick up his 3 year window chances while still keeping the beyond looking much better than ours.
  17. moonslav59
    I think Cashman is just posturing to try and feign disinterest. He'll come back when he realizes Degrom improves his chances more than anyone else on open market.
  18. moonslav59
    Welcome to the jungle!
  19. moonslav59
    Degrom has 2 playoff cycles under his contract. He's worth a lot. I wouldn't believe the Yankees' posturing. They will probably get him,because he is the best guy out there that would give them the strongest boost in chances at a ring for 2 years. They won't have to give up their whole future to get him, so I bet a deal gets done. I hope DD does not panic and try to match up with a bonehead big splash deal.
  20. moonslav59
    Like we didn't know we'd be "in it" in January?
  21. moonslav59
    Nunez starting to heat up. Positive vibrations.
  22. moonslav59
    Get them talking by starting with Sanchez, Torres or Andujar. Maybe Torreyes, Frazier, Adams and Loaisiga would work.
  23. moonslav59
    I get that, but I'm wondering why not? I thought the biggest worry was the draft penalties not the money(tax). Plus, there were lots of low cost bargains at the end of the FA signing period that could have been signed and not put us over by much AND not cost us prospects in trade. I'm okay with watching the budget. I don't blame Henry for not wanting to spend way too much. He's already blowing the next guy away, and that's not even counting Castillo! My point is, if we go out and trade for a $5M (after prorated) guy, we could have just signed a $5M guy last winter and had him all year.
  24. moonslav59
    I, for one, like our "3 stooges".
  25. moonslav59
    The Nats pen reminds me of DD's Detroit pens.
