I'm hopeful with Devers' D, but we'll see. If we have to use Nunez at 2B next year, our D gets even worse.

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020
moonslav59 replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He does not have much more HR power than Moreland and his glove is over-rated. He will be costly and want several years. I'm not for putting a lot of money and years into a power position like 1B, on a team sorely lacking power, with someone like Hosmer. I'd rather go one year again with the best we can get for that length (Morrison? Duda? Alonso?) and then sign DH to squeeze HRam out of his vesting option.. -
Yes, and as well as many have done, particularly in the pen, only Sale and Kimbrel instill high confidence, but I guess one could say guys like Peacock, Morton, Bauer, Tomlin, Montgomery and even CC Sab have question marks next to their names, too.

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020

I think our biggest need next year is a top clean-up hitter. The best FA I see for that role might be JD Martinez, who would essentially be a DH only. I share your concerns about that, but I don't think any 1B FAs fill the clean-up hitter role adequately. I think our bench will be fine next year, even if we non tender Holt: Leon (Holt) Travis Hernandez Lin Marrero Swihart If sign Nunez, it will be near top notch. -

It wasn't meant as a slight at all, except maybe towards Price & Porcello.
-
I think you misread my post. I said he would be MLB's best 4/5 starter, so that implies there is no "list" of better. My point was, he's pitched like a number 2 all season (and the first half of 2016), but with the low IP totals, he'd have been great as our 4th starter had Porcello and Price pitched like 2016 or before.

Countdown to the Playoffs - 2017 Edition

Plus, haven't we all done dumb things at some point in our lives (not that what Sale did was dumb), and yet we all know what fine and upstanding people we are! -
2017 end of season Yankee prospect update
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
Baseball Reference has them at 96-60. I was close . (I meant to say 97-98 wins.) -
Let's hope this good news proves true.

I thought linking all Japanese players to Dice-K's flop was tremendously weak. There have been plenty of Japanese success stories. We've had so many international signing successes, I don't know where to begin. Most have been from Latin America, especially the really good ones. We've also had some pretty good success with Asian player signings. I'm not sure we win in 2013 without Uehara. True, he was proven already, unlike fresh signings, but he and many others prove the gamble is not an impossible gamble. Remember, we signed Okajima the same year as Dice-K. He was a good signing- very good. The Tazawa signing a couple years later worked out well, too. Our Top Latin American Signings (many more were failures): HRam (brought us Beckett & Lowell) Doubront Bogaerts F Montas Margot (helped get Kimbrel) Moncada (helped get Sale) Castillo Devers

It never fails. Just one freakin' game and here we go again.
-
Is this guy his identical twin or something? Good thing we gave Papi and Manny a chance after Jose Offerman's flop.
-
I have the sound turned down. Have they said Nunez is out for the season?
-
I'm calling it: JBJ with a walk-off in the 9th.
-
Agreed. Pom would be MLB's best 4/5 starter with numbers like his, but sadly, he still is our #2 as of now.

Before tonight... OPS Against .580 Sale .680 Price .705 Pom .717 ERod .820 Porc ERA+ 164 Sale 143 Pom 127 Price 115 ERod 99 Porc WHIP 0.95 Sale 1.24 ERod 1.25 Price 1.34 Pom 1.39 Porc QS 74% Sale 64% Price 59% Porc 53% Pom 52% ERod

If only our 3-5 starters could do that!
-
What more can be said about this pen this year? WOW!
-
Those kind of ABs are highly frustrating to watch, especially when we desperately need men on base. Here's my projection: if JBj gets up again, he hits a walk-off.
-
Some of the excessive unearned runs is probably just bad luck (or timing), and I'm sure our defense has saved many an earned run, so I'm not complaining. Hopefully, Devers and Bogey can step up their defensive games next year and we can maybe be the top defensive team in MLB.
-
I think we'll win tonight.
-
Okay, I was late for the bus on this one. Yes, he sucks.
-
I'll more than take it. He's pitched like front line just about all year, except for the low innings per start. Huge plus.
-
Not that Davis is doing any better, but he's a better defender (though we don't need a defensive OF replacement) and pinch runner- something we might actually need.
