    Starters: Tolle, Perales, Clarke and maybe Valera/Early Pen: Early. Valera, Sandlin and maybe Paez, Monegro, Mullins Maybe Delzine, Cason & Rivera move up.

    When Bregman & Dobbins return, we'll probably see DHam demoted to AAA (finally) and I Campbell demoted or DFA'd. Sandoval and Houck may get Hicks, Murphy or Alcara demoted. How does this roster look? SP: Crochet, Giolito, Bello, Dobbins & Sandoval (Buehler, Fitts) RP: Chapman, Whitlock, Wilson, Houck, Buehler, Fitts, Weissert, Bernardino/Alcara/Murphy 1. L Duran LF 2. R Bregman 3B 3. L Abreu RF/ R Refsnyder DH v L 4. R Story SS 5. L Anthony DH/R Romy 1B v L 6. R Narvaez C 7. L Yoshida 1B/ L Anthony RF v L 8. L Mayer 2B/ Rafaela CF v L 9. R Rafaela CF/ Mayer 2B v L (Maybe Romy some) (Wong as 2nd C and Toro 1B/3B depth) Gotta say, this looks much nicer than a month or so, ago.

    I'm really not for trading top prospects for rentals, but I gotta think if AZ decides to sell, a nice duo pick-up would be Zac Gallen (not having a good year, but last 2 gms: 13 IP, 10 Hits, 1BB, 19 Ks, and 1 ER) and Eugenio Suarez (29 HRS & .883 OPS)

    Last 30 Days: HRs: 7 Story, 6 Rafaela, 5 Abreu, 4 Romy & Duran, 3 Mayer, 2 Anthony & Narvaez RBI: 24 Story, 20 Abreu, 16 Rafaela, 14 Romy, 13 Duran, 11 Anthony, 8 Narvaez & Toro, 6 Mayer OPS (40+ PAs) 1.167 Romy .999 Abreu .977 Rafaela .911 Story .795 Anthony .790 Duran .785 Narvaez .754 Refsnyder .661 Mayer, .624 Toro, .481 DHam

    Look at some of the views we had on some Brez choices, before this season began, and how we view them now: The Gio signing. The Bello extension. The Rafaela extension. The faith in Story at SS and keeping Mayer at AAA, then calling him up for 3B. The Narvaez trade, in lieu of adding another more known catcher. The "neglect" on pen additions and signing a 78 year old closer in Chapman. The Wilson signing. The Toro signing. Of course, some of these moves can go south, at any moment, but these all look better now than they did a few months ago- some even just a month ago, like Story. The Buehler and Hendriks deals still look bad, and Sandoval is very much TBD, but I gotta say, "KUDOS to BREZ!"
  7. moonslav59
    How about the "Rock Bottoms?"
  8. moonslav59
    I know you gotta give to get, but I'd avoid giving up any or our 5 rookies (Anthony, Mayer, Narvaez, Campbell & Dobbins) or Tolle to get him. They may hang up, if we deny them one. Twist my arm and it might have to be Dobbins from these 6 names. I might even want to trade Campbell before Tolle, but that might take more thought. His lack of position worries me. We have enough DHs. How about this: To PHI: Duran To MIN: Abel To MIN: Fitts, Arias, Early & Monegro To BOS: Ryan We keep all our top prospects, except Arias and maybe our top 3 pitching prospects, but MIN gets Abel & Fitts, a top SS prospect and two decent pitching prospects, too. Is that enough? If the Sox do this trade and extend Ryan, we'll look very well set up for a pretty long window, including several younger players at relatively low costs with upcoming arbs and reasonable extensions.

    I Campbell looked bad, tonight, but maybe he's just shaking off some rust. The guy was pretty good in 2023 and the talk was he had some pretty good stuff. Let's give him a few more looks.
  10. moonslav59
    Great game by Gio! He's making the signing look like it was just bad luck for 2024. It doesn't really come close to a balance on the Sale trade, but many viewed the savings from that trade as helping the Sox afford to sign a $19M x 2 pitcher not a $10M/1, or less, like we had been signing for years. Now hearing much fire Brez and Cora talk, anymore.
  11. moonslav59
    You are always wrong, you fool! LOL!
  12. moonslav59
    Off to Cancun for 5 days. Go Sox!
  13. moonslav59
    Exactly.
  14. moonslav59
    Ref is a top 10 bat vs LHPs over 3 years. It's not easy to find that. Romy's sample size is shorter, but nearly as good as Ref's.
  15. moonslav59
    All the best managers can predict who will have the best month and move them up in the line-up. DAMN! I hate when you are right!
  16. moonslav59
    Had we spent it all on one pitcher on a 5 year deal, maybe we'd have done better.
  17. moonslav59
    Until the Crochet extension, not a single "new" dollar was spent on anything but reclamation projects. From the Sale/Nate deals to Crochet, unless you count the Bello extension.
  18. moonslav59
    With all the talk on Campbell, maybe Romero solves our 2B issue: 3B Mayer SS Story 2B Romero
  19. moonslav59
    Indeed, and they think going up a notch in spending will make a difference. $6M Perez $16M Richards & Perez $15M Kluber & Paxton $17M Wacha, Hill, Paxton $18M Giolito $48M Gio, Sandoval & Buehler
  20. moonslav59
    Just respecting my grandparents' music.. LOL!
  21. moonslav59
    Chapman was cheaper than Jansen in AAV ($16M to 12) and years (2 to 1.) The recent Buehler ($21M/1 highest SP AAV since Sale) and Gio ($39M/2 largest and longest since Nate) plus Sandoval ($18M/2, 2nd largest and longest since Sale) does show a significant increase on the rotation. That's $78M for 3 pitchers. Before that, It was about $10-12M a year, tops. The Bregman signing broke the Sox AAV record, and the Crochet extension was a breath of fresh air, and I didn't even count his contract towards money spent on the rotation, recently. It seems like an obvious uptick in spending, despite the Devers cash dump.
  22. moonslav59
    Certainly over Buehler.
  23. moonslav59
    He got up to 7th before the injuries and dropping out of the top 20. He was up to 6th, earlier this year.
  24. moonslav59
    Brannon hit his first dinger w POR, and Romero & Ehrhard both had 3 hits. Tibbs & Castor had 2 each. Bleis homered (2-4) and Jo Garcia went 2-4 for GRE. Clarke went 2.2 (1H, 0ER, 1BB, 4K) Fajardo got lit up w SAL.
  25. moonslav59
    If the deadline was today, I'd sell. No half way crap. If we got 15-5 before the deadline, I'm still going to be for buying rentals at a high prospect cost. If we sell, then acquire as much young trade capital as possible for winter trades.
