    Very true. Nothing is ever as black and white (pun intended) as it seems. Yawkey did a lot of good, as did the ruthless SOB Andrew Carnegie. There's always gray area, but let's not sugar coat the bad or ignore the good.

    We're catcher 28th now in fWAR, which doesn't factor in how catchers get the most out of their staff. Our catchers are warming up. Nunez is part of our bench. He's covering while Pedey is out. If Pedey never returns, then our bench helped us. Moreland started on the bench, but now that we cut HRam, he's not. As far as I know, Pedey is still on the roster.

    Nobody is slamming the foundation. Yawkey was a racist. Racism was present in the Sox organization at least up to the Tommy Harper issues. I'm still a huge Sox fan, so Obviously some of us are able to look beyond him and that era. It's not hypocrisy to call it the way we see it, and not sugar coat anything just because many intelligent people did racists things back in that day. There were countless people who stood up to it. It demeans their lives and history to sugar coat racism because everyone was doing it.

    Yes, we don't want to use up all our budget space either to make a slight upgrade only to have an injury mess us up.
  5. moonslav59
    I was thinking Alex Hassan.
  6. moonslav59
    What would his upside be had he remained with the M's?
  7. moonslav59
    It's nice to see Holt & Nunez getting the hits. With their sub Pedey 2Bman defense, we need them hitting.
  8. moonslav59
    We don't have what it takes to get "Salvy".
  9. moonslav59
    There's no glaring weakness. We have areas that are way stronger than others, and upgrading a less strong area makes sense, but I think waiting until the deadline will help us identify which area is best suited for an upgrade- if any.
  10. moonslav59
    If JBJ keeps struggling, we may see more of JD in the OF, so maybe Chavis could muscle his way into some DH time.
  11. moonslav59
    I can see the point in starting Holt, but to say "zero sense" when Nunez has been way better than Holt offensively vs RHPs is hyperbole.
  12. moonslav59
    Again, Holt is no wonder glove.
  13. moonslav59
    No Afican American suffered? 1) That's not true. More worthy players would have made the bugs. 2) That's a poor gauge to judge with.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm big on defense, but never is a strong word. It's not like holt is all that much better on D, and our offense has needed all the help it can get.
  15. moonslav59
    Leon is not "garbage". He's one of the best back-up catchers this team could have and needs. Nunez is off to a poor start, but he's better than most teams' utility players. Holt should be consider "bench", because Pedey is the starting 2Bman. Just because we are using Holt and Nunez at the moment, does not mean they are not considered depth. I stand by my position that we have better depth than most teams. (I see you left our pitcher depth.)
  16. moonslav59
    Nunez is better vs RHPs than LHPs- this year and career. Holt is better vs LHPs- this year by a ton & career. They both have significant reverse splits. That is probably why Cora played Nunez vs the RH'd starter, and he's the manager- not one of us..
  17. moonslav59
    It seems that way, but I think he can play better than he has, so far.
  18. moonslav59
    The weird thing is, his defense has not improved at all. I'm not sure we can suddenly expect growth in that area. I do think he can and will become a better hitter- assuming he stays healthy.

    Looks like Carson Smith is toast. MLB reports... Red Sox reliever Carson Smith is set to undergo shoulder surgery tomorrow, the team announced to reporters (Twitter link via Rob Bradford of WEEI.com). The operation will likely put an end to the 28-year-old’s season. It’s the latest setback in what is becoming an increasingly injury-plagued career for CarsonSmith, who missed the majority of the 2016 and 2017 seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Tomorrow’s surgery will repair a subluxation in his throwing shoulder, which the right-hander reportedly incurred after angrily tossing his glove out of frustration following a poor outing last month. However, there’s additional damage in his shoulder, it seems, as head athletic trainer Brad Pearson tells reporters that Smith also has some tearing in the labrum (Twitter link via the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier).

    The Yankees will promote right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga from Double-A to make a spot start later this week, manager Aaron Boone announced Tuesday (link via ESPN’s Coley Harvey). He’ll get the ball Friday in place of the injured Masahiro Tanaka. Domingo German will start Thursday for the Yankees, with Luis Severino going Saturday, per the report. MLBTR

    Vaz the only Sox player with 2 hits. Vaz is 7 for his last 18. JBJ the only one with no hits.
  22. moonslav59
    Lind hit his 4th HR. Lin 2 for 4 with a DBL Brett Nezter 4 singles (up to .311).
  23. moonslav59
    A win is a win. Keep 'em coming!
  24. moonslav59
