    Down here in HOU, I'm hearing how Crane identifies who he wants and gets him 90% of the time. They mentioned missing out of Josh Hader, one year, but then signing him that winter. You need a guy: you do what it takes to get him. We need Ryan more than we need 4 OF'er (and Password knocking on the 4th OF'er door.)

    Vs LHPs, Romy would have played at 2B or 3B (Bregman out) and Ref in RF, as before.
  3. moonslav59
    Bieber last pitched in the bigs on 4/2/24. Sandoval on 6/21/24.
  4. moonslav59
    DH Casas (Devers occasionally) 1B Devers (casas occasionally) 3B Bregman 2B Mayer This was the right call, even if Mayer was in hindsight for some of us.

    I was wrong about "the minors." See how easy it is to say it? 11.1 IP can never be considered light years over 0 IP, despite it being infinitely more.
  6. moonslav59
    We all make mistakes, but you obviously thought Murphy was not doing that well in 2025. It's not like it was a typo. His mistaken 4.91 ERA was the central point of the post.
  7. moonslav59
    Can anyone seriously argue that Devers at 3B and Bregman at 2B was the right thing to do, even without any spreadsheets hidden from sight?
  8. moonslav59
    ...and confusing 2023 with 2025, among other imperfections.
  9. moonslav59
    Okay: 4 GS and 11.1 IP= light years. Back to imperfect posts, again. 🤪
  10. moonslav59
    Then him winning the CYA. Right!
  11. moonslav59
    Sounds like you are back to making perfect posts, again, after a brief hiatus. 🤣
  12. moonslav59
    Well, Sandoval was pitching in the minors, too. Then, he wasn't. How good will he be, if he does return? Better than D May?
  13. moonslav59
    Until Holobetz wins the Cy Young.... LOL!
  14. moonslav59
    This graphic highlights the deadline failure by Brez. I'm not for firing Brez. He's still been a plus, but those 3 should not be starters for a team on the playoff bubble. Maybe one. Maybe two in a pinch. 3 is sickening. Also, is there zero faith in Harrison?
  15. moonslav59
    Okay. You win.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm fine with the trade, but we haven't won the trade, yet. SF has not lost the trade, yet. When we spend the money, assuming we do, it has to be spent wisely for the trade to be a win. That's two big ifs for the trade to end up being more than even. Now, there are also some ifs that are pluses, if one or two of the players we got back do well. You keep pointing to Devers numbers after the trade and Toro's season numbers. You need to look at Toro's numbers since the trade. Devers would be better at 1B for the Sox than Toro, even now. June 6th>> .692 Devers 4 Hrs and 15 RBI .479 Toro 0Hrs and 5 RBI and a negative DRS at 1B. We have not won the trade, so far. Hicks has sucked. Toro has sucked. The others have yet to play for the Sox. The trade scorecard is TBD, but let's not say we've won it, so far, okay?

    Do we get more for Duran or Abreu, this winter or this past deadline? No way we make one of our 4 OF'ers a DH or 1Bman. We also have Jh Garcia. It's just plain dumb to "hold on" to logjammed talent, when you have a gaping hole in the rotation. In reality, an OF'er trade should have been made, last winter.
  18. moonslav59
    Brez did trade: #4 Teel (who would have been #1 or #2 on most teams) #5 Montgomery (a #1, 2 or 3 on most teams) #8 Meredith (a #5 or 6 on most teams) That seems like ions ago, but it wasn't.
  19. moonslav59
    Merrill Kelly did not cost zillions. Ryan and Keller would have cost talent and some money, but no where close to zillions. We could sign Schwarber or Azuna, this winter to DH for way less than the remaining Devers money, but we wont. We already have Yoshida-Romy and Casas to DH. More likely we can split up the money toward some of this.... Sign a 1Bman, a SPer, a closer, rework Bregman's dea and or extend Anthony.
  20. moonslav59
    You brought him up, not me. If that is who Ehrhard becomes, it's not changing the trade to "grossly." True, Ehrhard has a higher ceiling than Eaton, but he also has a lower floor.
  21. moonslav59
    I think Brez viewed YRod as the best bet to make an impact.
  22. moonslav59
    I was adding them to a high quality prospect or player. Was Adam Serwinowski and Van Belle much higher quality? (for Zack Littell) Randy Dobnak & Enrique Jimenez for Paddock? Bratt, Drake & Hagaman for Merrill Kelly? 3 prospects for Adrian Houser? Look, I realize I could be dead wrong on what I thought it might take to get a quality SP'er, especially ones with 2-3 years of control. The fact is, not many quality SP'ers were dealt this July, but I think we had the assets to match or top many of the offers I see above or some deals that were not made. I think Brez got too stingy and refused to "overpay."
  23. moonslav59
    Including Nate Eaton over Ehrhard would have made it grossly. too? Eaton is the textbook replacement player that can easily be obtained on the waiver wire at any given point in time.
  24. moonslav59
    Well, you did say we were going too lopsided towards pitching, and this one was the other way. YRod and Holobetz may just outshine Priester, in time. What really hurts is that Priester seems to be getting even better: 2.19 ERA/2.93 FIP in last 4 GS (6.1 IP per start.)
  25. moonslav59
    I suppose that's true, but Ehrhard is a longshot.
