  1. Some more observations early on in my formulating an opinion on this deal: 1. We can no longer say Brez can't be bold in midseason dealing. 2. This is no Clarke, Wikelman, Aita, Fajardo type trade. It's not even a Harrison or Priester type trade. 3. Early is the most proven good AND young player Brez has traded. (Sale & Verdugo were way more experienced: Fitts was not as good. Teel & Monty had zero experience.) 4. We now have a bit of a logjam that hints at another near future trade.
  2. Wow! we’ve mentioned trading Early, but this guy was barely discussed. my initial thoughts are positive, but I need to sleep on this one.
  3. In no way am I projecting gloom & doom. I think we will play over .550 ball the rest or the way.
  4. They are, but we also need power. My suggestion has been RHB Jeffers to C and BLowe at 2B. Ideally, we get a real SS.
  5. He's made some hard outs recently, so maybe he's about to reboot.
  6. Indeed, and sometimes a game like this sets a team into a tailspin.
  7. He was really good in his injury-shortened 2023 season, the great '24 season and was pretty good last year. He's still young enough to have another good season or two, but he looks totally lost this year (so far, I hope it is.) It's more than just 1 year.
  8. Let's hope this one hit display by the offense is just a blip.
  9. Like I said, we still need a 2Bman.
  10. I've thought DH for a while, but of course he has to hit and hit well.
  11. I don't get all the attempts at sugar-coating his season.
  12. Since we also need a 2Bman, I'm not sure we need to focus on just their D at SS.
  13. Hey hey, KC has a 7 game hit streak going, and I think he's like 5 for his last 8 ABs with some walks.
  14. It's great that he can score on plays that nobody else can, and that he's second on the team in RBI over the last month, but even in this past month, he's 12th out of 12 in fWAR, 12th out of 12 in OPS and wRC+.
  15. His defense was at its peak 2 years ago (2024.) He's on pace for a better DRS in 2026 than 2025, but I would say he's better than 2 years ago.
  16. You are fully and helplessly delusional, and you can't even see it. I'm done with interacting with you. I shoulda listened to the others.
  17. LOL. A two PA hot streak. He did have one nice hot streak, but he has sucked for too much of 2026. .435 in last 7 games. .386 last 13 games. .441 last 41 games. Trying to cherry-pick a good long "recent" stretch is difficult. I found .640 in his last 69 games. I think the best one you can find is this last 2 PA stretch.
  18. That's the thing. He started declining in 2025. I think the point was he was the best from 2024-2025 (combined,) and since guys like Devers weren't here both years, he kinda won the title by default. Only Abreu could compete.
  19. You did more than call him out. You blamed him for losing the game and called it a blunder. Getting picked off a base of dropping a pop up is a blunder- not what he did. Innings later you kept blaming that play, despite what he did to keep us in the game, the implied sole reason we lost. It's okay to say you messed up or didn't mean it that way. You've had it in for Ceddanne since day one, and you actively seek out anything he does badly as some sort of evidence you were and are not wrong. Ceddanne has arrived. He's a good plus player at worst: he's reached stardom at best. The Ceddanne bee has been and remains in your bonnet.
  20. DRS says Neto is more than fine on D. OAA says the opposite.
  21. Suarez is the only guy we have with few questions about 2026 and 2027. Apparently, he'd be active now, if not sick. You forgot Oviedo, who could possibly pitch later this year and could eb a SP'er for 2027- his last year of control. Rivera could be an option. I also see Holobetz, Mullins, Rogers, Ziehl and Paez as possibly being MLB "ready" by 2027, but most cannot be good enough to warrant a promotion, unless we are hit by many injuries. 2027 all healthy rotation options: Crochet, Suarez, Bennett, Tolle, Early Houck, Crawford, Oviedo, Bello, Rivera Eyanson, Wehunt, Holobetz, Ziehl, Paez... (Witherspoon?) That's 10 pitchers with ML experience as SP'ers and maybe 4-5 in the minors that could be helpful. Remember, Tolle and Early were like 9th and 10th on this year's "all healthy" depth chart. Bennet was maybe 11th or 12th. Soxpropsects.com had him listed/projected at AA, pretty much all winter long. Rivera wasn't even on the list.
  22. The Sox are now second in the AL in run differential, recently passing the TBR and CWS. Only the Yanks remain ahead of us, but without Judge the gap is closing quickly. The Sox are 7th in all MLB in this area. 3 runs behind PIT 19 behind the Cubs 42 behind the NYY
  23. I'd say a big yes, and I've not yet written him off as a starter either.
