    Yes, it is more likely we get a 1Bman than a 3Bman or DH-only type. (I went back and corrected it.) I'd have Nunez play more than HRam, but HRam would get more PAs at DH.
  2. moonslav59
    Without a doubt. Lin's a better fielder, but is far away with the bat. A while ago, I suggested the idea of maybe finding a big bat clean up hitting 3Bman and moving Devers to 1B over the winter. I was kind of surprised how many poster did not even want to consider the idea. (Note: I'm not saying I want to move a 20 year old player off position based on tiny sample sizes, but if we can get a better bat at 3B than 1st, I'm considering it.

    Another extra inning win. What are we, like 15-3 in extra innings?
  4. moonslav59
    I doubt even Pablo has ever done that!
  5. moonslav59
    Pom & Pen. 13 Ks. Finding new ways to come out on top. Great win!
  6. moonslav59
    I think we can see why Sox management had a big concern about the defensive readiness of Devers. Of course, even as bad has he has looked, especially at key moments in games, Pablo was even worse.

    If we sign a FA 1Bman and Nunez our 13 position players should be: 1. Bogey SS 2. Betts RF 3. Beni LF 4. ____ 1B 5. Devers 3B 6. Pedey 2B 7. JBJ CF 8. HRam DH 9. Vaz C Bench: Nunez, Leon, and two from Travis, Hernandez, Lin, Holt (?) and Marrero

    They are very good, but not like the Guardians. They don't have much experience. Bring 'em on. Let's not pussyfoot around. I want to face the Yanks. I'm more certain of beating them than CLE. Saying that is not a slight. Houston vs NYY? Pretty close on who I'd like to face more. I'd probably rather play the Yanks, but it's close.

    I think we can pay all the arbs and option raises, sign a big bat for clean up and Nunez and still be under the second penalty tier of the luxury tax. I'm not saying we will or should do so, but I think it can be done. I wish Nunez was a better fielder, but with a team seeming lacking in offense going into 2018, having a super sub who could possibly hit over .800 is something that could put us over the top.

    Hey.... if Jf says so, then it must be.
  11. moonslav59
    Yes, of course, but people said that about every great player in history before they became great. He could be a dud. He could be super great. He might be somewhere in between. We won't know for a long time, but if he does turn out to be good, there will be several years of team control more than Pom.
  12. moonslav59
    lol
  13. moonslav59
    I like Pom. I hope he could go deeper in games, but I'm thrilled with what he has given us this year. I was dead against the trade, but not because I thought Pom sucked. I was super high on Espi's massive upside potential. The trade has looked great this year- not so great last year. We still have one more year of Pom. I'm glad we have Pom, but I still think Espi might make us wonder.
  14. moonslav59
    He's defending at a 40+ error per 1400 innings pace. He seems athletic. I think he can work out the hesitation before throwing while improving his arm accuracy, but I'm still thinking we should at least consider moving him to 1B, if we can get a good 3Bman who can bat clean-up.
  15. moonslav59
    I was talking about XB. I do think Devers has a ways to go to get plus on 3B defense. I also do not like the little hesitation he makes before throwing. I think it cost us that play vs the Yanks where the review showed the guy safe by an eyelash. That wasn't even called an error. Our left side infield is not pretty on D. Devers -9.8 UZR/150 and -4 DRS (on pace for -12 in 1200 innings.) Bogey -1.3 UZR/150 and -11 DRS in just over 1200 innings.
  16. moonslav59
    Agreed, and with a UZR/150 now in the negative and a DRS near worst in MLB, showing off should be the last thing on his mind.
  17. moonslav59
    Okay, but you were responding to my point about errors by Devers almsot having a direct impact of 2 losses in a row.... not which errors were better worse looking.
  18. moonslav59
    BAL scored their 8th run due to an Error by Devers. We were tied 8-8 after 9. Bogey's error in the 8th led to no runs.
  19. moonslav59
    We won't lose. You should think of it this way: 1) If we beat the Yanks, you'll feel much better than if we beat the Guardians. 2) We have a better chance against the Yanks, because the Guardians are a better team (and more experienced). 3) We won't lose to the Yanks. The Guardians are maybe another story.
  20. moonslav59
    I don't know any. Maybe because I'm probably older than you.
  21. moonslav59
    Some nightmare! I was actually happy with last year, especially after last places finishes in 3 of 4 years.
  22. moonslav59
    True. Very true. What I really liked about Q was that he has 3 more years of team control after 2017 (one more than Sale). His luxury tax cost would only have been $4.2M until his 2019 (also pro-rated in 2017) and 2020 option years of $10.5M each.
  23. moonslav59
    Vaz has also been a "surprise".
  24. moonslav59
    Sox OPS Last 30 Days: .913 Vaz (1.019 last 14 days) .838 Nunez (.962) .807 JBJ (.712) .791 Betts (1.033) .786 Travis (14 PAs) .781 Moreland (.650) .763 Pedey (.813) .757 Beni (.704) .727 Bogey (.792) .617 HRam (.392) .580 Devers (.723) .571 Holt (.675) .531 Young (36 PAs) .481 Leon (.374) .397 Davis (26 PAs)
  25. moonslav59
    I'll be more nervous facing the Guardians.
