    I said the same thing, when it happened. He showed his hand. It wasn't about being "asked to play every position," it was about sticking it to his boss- a boss that was not the one who promised he'd play 3B forvers.

    I agreed that posting Devers numbers is fair game. (Just don't say Toro has done better.) I agree the trade was the right thing to do, but I would not use small sample sizes to make it look like Devers sucks. (I'm fine that others post those numbers.) I think Devers will hit well, again, and it will still be the right thing to do.

    They seem to think lying over and over again to their customers will never catch up to them. So far, it seems to have worked. "Full throttle" "Buyers" Once again, we're back to thinking of 2026 and beyond based on a fuzzy hope, we will swing the pendulum far enough to the hear and now to be serious contender. The thing is, we don't have to spend over the tax line or empty the farm. A healthy balance can be maintained, while we win, now. We just keep choosing to put it off another year, while we stockpile 18 OF'er & DH types. (Hyperbole alert.)

    One package included a ML OF'er, and likely not Tolle. I'd probably have preferred that offer. I wonder if Campbell was offered or asked for. We heard "no even close," so what was that about? Would Campbell, Garcia, Arias and Early have been enough?

    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.
  7. moonslav59
    Bieber last pitched in the bigs on 4/2/24. Sandoval on 6/21/24.
  8. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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?
  12. moonslav59
    ...and confusing 2023 with 2025, among other imperfections.
  13. moonslav59
    Okay: 4 GS and 11.1 IP= light years. Back to imperfect posts, again. 🤪
  14. moonslav59
    Then him winning the CYA. Right!
  15. moonslav59
    Sounds like you are back to making perfect posts, again, after a brief hiatus. 🤣
  16. 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?
  17. moonslav59
    Until Holobetz wins the Cy Young.... LOL!
  18. 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?
  19. moonslav59
    Okay. You win.
  20. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. moonslav59
    I think Brez viewed YRod as the best bet to make an impact.
