    DD's last 14 months: The good... Pomeranz Sale Moreland Fister Nunez Devers (call-up) The so-so Davis The not so good (so far) Thornburg
  2. moonslav59
    There were some fat pitchers back in the day.
  3. moonslav59
    I thought Owens would be gone by Rule 5 day anyways!
  4. moonslav59
    Who gets axed off the 40 man? Owens? Martin? Marrero?
  5. moonslav59
    Just because Beni is having a good year does not mean he is beyond reproach. He certainly leads the team in RIOBP or running into outs plus bonehead plays.
  6. moonslav59
    Pedey & Barnes activated. Swihart, Travis, Elias & Maddox called up. So far, Brentz has not been added to the 40 man.
  7. moonslav59
    Agree. When you see pitchers throwing at guys for "swinging too hard" something is wrong.
  8. moonslav59
    They bunted against Wake when he was having back issues and flopping all over the place.
  9. moonslav59
    We should have bunted 5 more times in a row, or at least shown bunt. The problem is, we don't know how to bunt. Total lack of fundamentals.
  10. moonslav59
    Yes, that's why I'm surprised JF never used DM in the 4 slot!
  11. moonslav59
    The only two guys hitting right now are Beni and Moreland- neither is a good lead-off hitter or clean-up hitter. 1. DFA Owens, add Brentz to the 40 man and call him up. 2. Put Price on the 60 Day DL, put him under the knife now and add Butler. Call him up. 3. Call up Smith, Travis, Lin, Maddox, Beeks and Marrero. Shake things up for a few games... Line-up vs RHPs 1. Nunez DH 2. Pedey 2B 3. Beni LF 4. Devers 3B 5. Moreland 1B 6. JBJ CF 7. Betts RF (Wake-up call) 8. Vaz/Leon C 9. Lin SS vs LHPs 1. Pedey 2B 2. Betts RF 3. Devers 3B 4. Brentz DH 5. HRam 1B 6. JBJ CF 7. Beni LF 8. Bogey SS 9. Vaz/Leon C

    LOL. Good one. Maybe JF should have tried Marrero at clean-up five times...small sample size!
  13. moonslav59
    That should lessen the return package, yet people are acting like his contract is a salary dump one.
  14. moonslav59
    Maybe out of the pen on his "throwing day".
  15. moonslav59
    He put a sub .500 OPS guy leading off, not once, not twice, but 5 times! 'Nuff said.
  16. moonslav59
    Dvers (.899) and Nunez (.895) are now below .900. Here's the updated Sox OPS leader list: .798 Beni- still nobody above .800 .791 Moreland- surprise, surprise! .784 Pedey- welcome back .777 Betts- sinking like a lead balloon. .775 JBJ- welcome back Junior! .772 HRam- blah .749 Vaz- maybe the only true bright spot on O .734 Bogey- talk about cliffs .713 Young- I tried defending you, and look what we got! .666 Leon- what a devil! .484 Holt- time to put him at lead off again!
  17. moonslav59
    Exactly! What a joke this all is. Except, it's not funny.
  18. moonslav59
    I wouldn't either, but when you're losing, not drawing fans and one player is set to make a quarter to a third of your entire payroll budget in the coming years, I can see why the thought is there.
  19. moonslav59
    The fix is in. Keeping the Yanks in the race generates thousands, if not millions, of dollars in revenue. Look at some of the strike-calling last night. No wonder we only got 4 hits.
  20. moonslav59
    Yeah, even the .293 (.313 career) OBP is unappealing. Maybe it is because everyone is slumping and he had an 2nd half OBP of over .350 before last night. Just reaching for straws--like JF seems to be doing.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm not going to be a broken record here. You guys know my views on JF.
  22. moonslav59
    I am too, but HRam does lead the team in HRs, so there's that to ponder. We have nobody else.
  23. moonslav59
    Of course the lack of hitting has hurt us, but it's not "lacking fundamentals" like bone head plays are. Have we made mistakes in our hitting approach? Yes, so in that sense, we have made some mental mistakes with our hitting, and maybe more games can be attributed to that than bonehead running and fielding mistakes, but these blunders are killing me.
  24. moonslav59
    I realize Stanton is to be paid $25-32M every year until 2027 and then has a $10M buyout on another $25M option, but the luxury tax hit is just $25M. For a stud like Stanton, $25M is cheap. The M's do NOT need to pay salary or take on salary to trade GS. HE IS NOT A SALARY DUMP PLAYER! He's worth every penny and then some. Somebody will pay it. The issue is "paying it" PLUS giving up several top prospects. One or the other is fine, but both is almost always a no-no. The Sale trade was great, because Sale is making way less than market value.
  25. moonslav59
    Too bad nobody on the Sox learned the fundamentals this spring (or ever)- one being how to bunt.
