    HRam had a chance to redeem himself. Nope!
  2. moonslav59
    My point was maybe we don't lose his last start, if we rested him. 2-0 is better than 2-1 or 1-2.
  3. moonslav59
    I like our chances, too. However, if I had to set the odds, I'd give CLE the edge.

    We have 3 days off after game 162. How much rest do our everyday players need?

    FIP isn't everything. I's still take Gray over our 3rd starter. ERA- 67 Severino 84 S Gray 87 Sabathia 89 Montgomery 99 Pineda 111 Tanaka 64 Sale 74 Pom 77 Price 92 ERod 102 Porcello 107 Fister

    True, and Pedey's injury may not improve much for next year.

    Tonight's line-up Bogey Pedey Beni Betts Moreland HRam Devers Leon Davis

    First, I want to say, I do not think Marco can or will replace Pedey's offense, but I wouldn't say the "only way" about it. 1) Marco has been over .780 in both of his last 2 seasons at AA and AAA. While that does not mean he can do that at the ML level, it's not impossible to imagine him hitting near .790. 2) Pedey "at his worst" for a full season was .712 in 2015. He's 33 now, and one could imagine him declining next year. Plus, he's been under .800 in 5 of his last 6 seasons. That's not far from Marco's 2 season totals on the farm. 3) I wouldn't feel awful, if Marco had to play 2B a lot next year, but there is a significant chance he falls way short of Pedey's recent production. Pedey's at .764 now, and so projecting Marco to come close to that, I feel, is not a big stretch. They could both easily be near .750 next season.

    That looks like best idea. We cannot afford to trade players or top prospects. I'd also like to see us bring back Nunez, but I'm not sure we can afford both.
  10. moonslav59
    I took it that way and agree with your point.
  11. moonslav59
    My expectation was just to be like 2015-2016. I had given up on his defense already. As for Didi G, I've long suspected something funny in the water fountains in the Yankee clubhouse.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not going to compare MH to Pedey, but he did have an OPS over .780 in the minors over his last two seasons (AA>AAA). He looks to be a decent hitter. His defense is suspect, but 2B might be the best fit for him. He MIGHT be a capable back-up who can fill in nicely, when Pedey DHs or is on the DL. I like him more than Holt, marrero or Lin at 2B.

    Yay! Tampa Bay!

    JBJ talk on the Porcello thread. Pedey talk on the JBJ thread. Someone start a Pedey thread, so I can talk Porcello..
  15. moonslav59
    That means Rodriguez, groome, matta to start with. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe Bogey, Chavis & Beeks. Maybe Chavis, Flores,Shawaryn & Beeks
  16. moonslav59
    I never said I agreed with the numbers, but $20M is nonsense, too.
  17. moonslav59
    Keep clinging to the myth.
  18. moonslav59
    I would. He's still got hope.
  19. moonslav59
    No, but I sense a lot of Chicken Littles here. This things been locked up for a long time. Relax.
  20. moonslav59
    Better for me is, who is your number 2? I go with Pom AWAY ERA 3.19 Pom 3.99 ERod Home 3.58 Pom 3.81 ERod
  21. moonslav59
    Even if we lost last night, I'd call it a lock. maybe not deadbolt lock but still a lock. 2 up with 4 to go are great odds.
  22. moonslav59
    Sox: 9 Stros: 5
  23. moonslav59
    I don't see trading for a big piece as an option. We can't create new holes or further deplete the farm. I'd try to sign JD Martinez and a 1 year deal 1Bman like Duda or Morrison. That would squeeze HRam's PAs but not really address any 2B injury issues. We'd have to hope Hernandez, Lin and others can do well enough, if needed.
  24. moonslav59
    If the two are better than Hembree, we'll have to trade him due to him having no options left, or the two will have to agree to minor league deals or have options remaining. Here's how our pen looks next year without any additions: Kimbrel Smith Kelly Thornburg Barnes Ross Hembree (no options) Wright Workman Scott Maddox Taylor Martin Johnson/Velazquez/Beeks/Haley/Elias/Owens I just don't see much room. As it is now, we have Hembree, Wright, Workman, Scott and Maddox fighting for one slot. Sure sign a couple vets to minor league deals, but that's hardly even worth mentioning.
  25. moonslav59
    Good points, but I still wish we'd rested him more in September.
