    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.

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

    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.
  9. moonslav59
    I don't know any. Maybe because I'm probably older than you.

    Some nightmare! I was actually happy with last year, especially after last places finishes in 3 of 4 years.
  11. 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.

    Vaz has also been a "surprise".
  13. 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)
  14. moonslav59
    I'll be more nervous facing the Guardians.
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, I mentioned that the "timing" was off. It was just a "what if?" Since we didn't win a ring with Price last year anyways, this "what if" carries more weight.
  16. moonslav59
    Maybe one. I'm glad we're playing the 'Stros and O's and Reds.
  17. moonslav59
    YES! Price, Smith, Reed all added to a pen that has already exceeded expectations... Nice!
  18. moonslav59
    There have been years they did that, and one ofu s was out of it by the time we played.
  19. moonslav59
    His game before last. Note: his BB% was equal to Bogey's before tonight's game, but 7.9% is pretty low. Then again, why does anyone ever walk Sandy?
  20. moonslav59
    Good to see the bats come alive tonight. The resurgence of Bogey & Betts could be just what we have needed. Bogey on base 4 of 6 times. Betts with 4 RBI. Beni with a big hit. Even Holt lent a hand. Our late inning pen has carried us all year long. I'm glad a Devers error was not a factor in a second straight loss. Big win after being down 6-1!
  21. moonslav59
    The second Sale was traded, Quintana was on the market. The timing was the issue though. I doubt we could have traded for Sale back when we signed Price. Imagine though, having Sale and Quintana for low costs, not having Price, and being able to spend Price's money elsewhere. (It's not a realistic dream without Dd being clairvoyant, but what a "what if"!
  22. moonslav59
    ID o not want Nunez back, if his contract in any way hinders us from getting a big cleanup hitter this winter. IF not, I'd much rather have Nunez than Holt.
  23. moonslav59
    I might be mistaken, but didn't both of Devers' errors lead to an unearned run. Both games we lost by a run (yesterday)or went to extra innings (tonight)? No one play causes a win or a loss, but those two didn't help.
  24. moonslav59
    Probably, but would Nunez believe it? Let's say we sign Hosmer. (I guess we could sign Nunez first and trick him, but that's lame.) 1B Hosmer FT DH HRam close to FT 2B Pedey FT (maybes ome DH) 3B Devers FT SS Bogey FT LF, CF, RF all FT The good thing is,if w e can convince Nunez, he could get 550 PAs by rotating among 8 positions: DH HRam sits 1B HRam plays 1B- Nunez DHs 2B Pedey sits 3B Devers sits SS Bogey sits LF Beni sits CF Beni plays CF- Nunez plays LF RF Beni plays RF- Nunez plays LF Certainly doable, if everyone sits about every 8 days. Come to think of it, maybe they can convince Nunez he can get 550 even after signing a FT 1Bman. You're right.
  25. moonslav59
    I had been talking Sale (and Quintana) for years. I don't know how many times I was told the CWS would never trade him with so many cheap years still on the books. I'll admit, I was surprised, too. Then, we see Quintana and Gray traded for what I thought were underpays. I know I'm probably over-valuing our prospects compared to what those other trades gave up, but the "what if" nature of my obsession with the Sox can't help but wonder what our future would look like with one of those two, instead of Price.
