    Maybe getting Flores might make us slightly more comfortable trading one of our 3 ML or ML ready catchers.
  2. moonslav59
    Nothing too surprising. Nothing I'm going to get too excited about. About what I expected. I hope we find some gems this year.
  3. moonslav59
    Maybe Pablito is like Kevin Millar or Ryan Dempster.
  4. moonslav59
    Maybe it's not "the right way", but to me there seem to some be "wrong ways" at looking at baseball (stats).

    He's so damn CLUTCH!

    So, Mookie's OPS goes up 30 points in one game (.807 to .837). Beni's OPS creeps towards .800 (up to .769). Porcello remains a huge question mark. The pen carried us... again! 5 batters got on base 2 or more times, and another hit the big game tying HR. Pablo got a big hit. The "hope" flickers.... We're 14 and 7 in our last 21 games. Keep it up!!!

    Thanks, harmony. I just ordered it online.

    I used to turn the sound down and listen on the radio, but now that I watch most games on DVR and fast forward commercials, I just keep the sound off and listen to music.

    If a player sustains it and exists, let me know.
  10. moonslav59
    Big hits by Pedey and Pablito! Looks like Mookie is heating up as usual this time of year. Maybe a big emotional win like this will light the fire that seems to be missing these days.
  11. moonslav59
    It appears so.
  12. moonslav59
    With all due respect.... When has Theo ever dealt away several stars for prospects? What handbook are you talking about?
  13. moonslav59
    Rutledge and Marrero are not the answer. Even a healthy Holt of Hernandez were not great options for a long term 3Bman. As bad as Pablo has looked, the fact that he is in better shape than maybe even when with SF, I still think he represents our best hope for having a decent FT 3Bman. It's a sad reality, but until Devers is given a shot, I'm not for DFA'ing Pablo right now (as a Globe writer called for today). Rutledge has looked good recently, but he's at best a good back-up.
  14. moonslav59
    Rebuilding team aren't looking for Abad and probably not Marrero either. Maybe some mix of Ockimey, Chatham, Longhi, Chavis, Larkin or Beeks might be enough.
  15. moonslav59
    An intentional walk boosts the Late & Close OPS immensely.

    The Sox are currently far away from "hoarding prospects". We traded away a bunch of top prospects. You want to trade away the rest of the farm? We hear praise on what Cashman did, and now some want us to do the opposite of what he just did. Here are the prospects we recently traded away in order of their top soxprospects.com ranking: 1 Yoan Moncada 3 Anderson Espinoza 3 Manuel Margot 3 Garin Cecchini 5 Michael Kopech 6 Javier Guerra 7 Luis Aj Basabe 9 Mauricio Dubon 11 Sean Coyle 12 Travis Shaw (not a prospect when traded) 12 Wendell Rijo 13 Logan Allen 13 Pat Light 17 Luis Ax Basabe 20 Carlos Asuaje 21 Victor Diaz 24 Josh Pennington 30 Aaron Wilkerson 40 Jose Almonte 43 William Cuevas If this is "hoarding prospects", then I'm the King of England! We have a lot of lower tier prospects that have seemingly moved up this year, but we only have 3 guys that are close to being blue chippers, and we look to have a strong need in the 3 positions they play: 1B: Travis 3B: Devers SP: Groome I wouldn't trade any of these three.
  17. moonslav59
    These were the reasons I wanted Wright as our 5th starter and Pom as our "long man". Too bad Wright got hurt.
  18. moonslav59
    Tough loss. Hard hit balls for outs. Bad calls. Yes, the announcers sucked- they always do ESPN. No excuses- we should have lost.
  19. moonslav59
    Chavis hit a 3-run HR tonight. He now has 16 HRs in just a short time. Maybe the Sox do have some power in their prospects.

    MLBTR... The Red Sox’ signing of first baseman Mitch Moreland rather than Edwin Encarnacion looks like a good one, Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com writes. Moreland’s offense so far this season has been the best of his career — he’s currently batting .281/.382/.492 with 26 extra-base hits. Encarnacion, meanwhile, has hit .245/.351/.446 with Cleveland, although he’s hit well recently. Interestingly, FOX Sports’ Jon Morosi tweeted today that Moreland turned down more money from the Guardians to play for the Red Sox.
  21. moonslav59
    It's not a repeatable skill, but that doesn't mean it's not trackable or important. Papi career OPS .931 Career Late & Close: .870 High leverage: .942

    Red Sox Scouting Mike Minor By Charlie Wilmoth | June 11, 2017 at 1:25pm CDT The Red Sox are one of several teams scouting Royals lefty Mike Minor, Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets. The 27-34 Royals could move Minor at the trade deadline. The longtime Braves starter has reemerged in 2017 after missing all of the last two big-league seasons to arm trouble, posting a 2.25 ERA, 9.3 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 over 32 relief innings with Kansas City. Minor seems to have gotten even a bit more than the typical velocity bump associated with converting from starting to relief, averaging 94.0 MPH on his fastball after throwing 90.5 MPH in 2014. He’s also been terrific against lefties this season, holding them to a .380 OPS thus far this year. Minor is in the second season of a two-year deal with the Royals he signed while injured. In addition to the remainder of his $4MM salary for this season, his contract also contains a $10MM mutual option or a $1.25MM buyout for 2018.

    Makes sense to me. At #24, it's pretty much a crap shoot.
  24. moonslav59
    No where did I ever say or imply that we should PLAN on Pablo being any significant part of next year's roster. I said "assuming he shows some life" this year. I am not confident he will. On another thread I mentioned how I might not even give him one more month to "prove himself". I'm pretty close to being done with Pablo, but with Rutledge and Marrero as our only options until Devers comes up, I'm not cutting Pablo loose right now.

    The "Late & Close" stat does. Sox 2017 numbers (13+ PAs) .993 Rutledge (13) .960 Bogey (36) .879 Betts (36) .843 Moreland (37) .752 Pedey (32) .724 Leon (26) .670 JBJ (28) .667 Vaz (18) .648 Young (23) .621 Beni (36) .546 HRam (27) .417 Pablo (18) Late & Close are Plate Appearances in the 7th or later with the batting team tied, ahead by one, or the tying run at least on deck.
