    Damn, these Sox look pretty good!
  2. moonslav59
    We actually needed 2 starters better than Buehler, unless you think Criswell is for real.
  3. moonslav59
    Max, I'm not sure why you refuse to see Toro as a weakness. He hit .538 in his first 8 games and .590 in games 25 to today (43 games.) He hit very well in a 16 game stretch. He has a -4 DRS on D at 1B (25th in MLB.) He was a career .638 OPS guy, before this season (over 5 years.) If this is not a weakness, nothing is, and no teams have any weaknesses. Next up, Yoshida...

    Yes, some- not Portis and a couple others. We gave up Jordan, this year. My point is, we gave up much more, last year than this. There were other reasons, for sure, but most felt we were closer to having a chance this year.

    Best Sox FIP (50+ IP) 2.56 Fajardo 2.29 ERA 2.63 Tolle 2.93 2.76 Early 2.39 2.85 Rivera 2.53 2.92 Ehrlicher 2.94 3.09 Sandlin 3.50 3.29 Mullins 2.19 (best in system) 14. Holobetz 3.67 (3.43) 15. Aita 3.68 (3.59)

    Josue Brito has the 8th best OPS in the minors at 1.041 (just 124 PAs) Out of all 636 minor leaguers with 300+ PAs, our Sox prospects place... 40. Jh Garcia .886 129. Grissom .813 140. Eaton .806 211. Encarnacion .771 224. Taylor .767 .250 Romero .758 .290 Bleis .743 (Jordan .872 and Ehrhard ,796)

    Better than a rental at inflated costs. We need a pitcher. Why did we give up more, last year?
  8. moonslav59
    Injury Report: Anthony: AUG 6 Slaten may be back in AUG. Mayer "SEPT, at earliest" Hendriks says he'll be back, but Cora says doubtful. Guerrero: TBD All others are listed as 2026 returns, at best.
  9. moonslav59
    Not at the time of those trades, apparently. (I also forgot to mention getting Priester for Yorke) Also, look at what Brez gave up in 2024 compared to 2025 (highest ranking when with Sox): 3. Nick Yorke 11. Matthew Lugo 20. Cutter Coffey 29. Ovis Portes (far away but significant promise) 9. Essinson Paulino 20. Niko Kavadas 11. Ryan Zeferjahn 54. Y Vargas 60. Gilberto Bautista NR Moises Bolivar (a far away prospect with some promise) 2025: 7. Tibbs (I think fell to 10th before trade) 7. Jordan (19th when traded) 28. Ehrhard
  10. moonslav59
    Close, but I agree. I wonder what a Keller offer would have needed to be.
  11. moonslav59
    Finally, we dumped Alcala.
  12. moonslav59
    DHam is a clear plus on D at 2B. That alone might be enough to pick him over Grissom. DHam has great baserunning skills and can be used to PR, when not in the game. DHam had a nice WAR after a slow start in 2024. Grissom hasn't been good in about 2 years.
  13. moonslav59
    If he can fix the 1B problem, I'm all for it. If we trade an OF'er, he could play 1B and be a 4th OF option, too.
  14. moonslav59
    As a combined deadline outlook, 2024 was better.
  15. moonslav59
    Some think Abreu or Duran PLUS Tolle.
  16. moonslav59
    Jansen was a significant addition, at the time. OPS Against Luis Garcia .626 at time on '24 trade (Matz .669) Lucas Sims .741 at time of '24 trade (May .760) Paxton had a 4.43 ERA and a .739 OPSA, when we got him in 2024 (Both better than May's numbers in '25.)
  17. moonslav59
    True, but the other three looked better than M &M.
  18. moonslav59
    They were afraid their best trade asset would get hurt before pulling the trigger.
  19. moonslav59
    I think Jansen, Sims, Garcia & Paxton looked better on paper, on deadline day 2024, than M & M do, now. The 2023 deadline should have been sell, sell, sell. We "sold" Kike and added Urias. Totally lame and worse than 2025, for sure. 2022 was buy & Sell, and we got Abreu. 2021 was better w Schwarber, Robles & Austin and later on, Iggy & T Shaw. 2020 was sell: got Pivetta
  20. moonslav59
    Garcia may play RF v L and 1B v R, if Casas sucks or is hurt, again. (Romy plays 1B v L, if not needed at 2B)
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed. They both seem to do well as PH'ers, too.
  22. moonslav59
    There may be a lack of ML ready position players, but not only for good reason (we just graduated 4 or 'em) but we should not need very many for the next few years, because we have young and or controlled players at nearly every position for 3+ years C: 5+ Narvaez, Wong 3 1B: Casas & Romy 3, Campbell 7+ 2B: Mayer 5+, Campbell 5+, DHam & Grissom 4 (Rafaela) SS: Story 3, Mayer 5+, Romy 3 (Rafaela) 3B: Bregman 1, Mayer 5+, Toro 2 LF: Duran 2, Anthony 5+ CF: Rafaela 6 RF: Abreu 4 DH: Yoshida 2 Garcia replaces Duran in 2 years Anyone can DH for Yoshida 3B is our only need area for 3 years. We have Romero and Arias coming up in 1-3 years. We can move Story or mayer around to make them fit.
  23. moonslav59
    I think Garcia is a plus defender, so I'm not sure it's such a good idea putting Password at 1B, but then again, Rafaela, Abreu and Anthony are plus or plus-plus on D, too. (Duran is not bad, either.) I still think we trade an OF'er, this winter, so Garcia might be needed in the OF, either as depth or a RF platoon with Abreu.
  24. moonslav59
    I thought of that, this morning. Duh!
  25. moonslav59
    This always makes me wonder if the problem actually occurred, when he showed a sharp decline in performance back in 2024, but it was not identified by our crack(head) medical staff for over a year.
