    Shoulda given Duran a 1Bman's mitt. Jh Garcia is a better defensive OF'er, but he could practice 1B in AAA.
  2. moonslav59
    Agree. 0.001% chance he ever gets a MLB GS in 2025. I would totally understand if he does not get a 2025 MLB call up.

    Fred is super negative in game threads, and our record on come from behind wins is pretty bad, so he hit rate is pretty damn good, but I actually think he has some very good insights mixed in with all the negativity. He's respectful, too, so that helps.

    The -0.6 fWAR is hard to overlook. (-0.7 bWAR) Bello has done very well with Wong catching him, so I'm not sure replacing Wong is as urgent as many seem to think. I still have 1B as a higher need on the everyday player side of the ledger. Toto has a 52 wRC+ since June 13th and a -0.6 fWAR (101 PAs) That's the same amount of PAs Wong has on the season and the same fWAR! Toro has been a near FT player: Wong starts every 5 games. Toro's OPS since June 13th: 553 OPS. Wong's is a sickening .281, but his work with Bello and not playing FT, moves him down on my priority rankings. 1. SP (solid #2 type w years of control) 2. 1Bman 3. RP 4. Back-up catcher

    Bringing Tolle up is an interesting idea. He's looking great. Hard to know how a rough time might affect his psyche. I'm not sure that worry outweighs our needs.
  6. moonslav59
    Please: NO Vazquez.
  7. moonslav59
    That's one way to keep Duran and Abreu! LOL!
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, damn good. The guy had a 5.2 fWAR in just 235 IP from 2021-2022. That's excellent. 3.17 ERA (26th is not spectacular, but pretty good) 77 ERA- (23rd best) was better than Gausman, Gallen, Cole, Castillo and others for those two years. From '21 to '23 his numbers dropped, some but were still pretty good: 7.5 fWAR 3.53 ERA (122 ERA+) 84 ERA- ranked 26th- above Cease, Nate, Castillo +++ The guy was pretty damn good.

    We are still just 2 behind the Yanks, who just a few weeks ago, looked like a sure top AL contender. TBR is -1.5 TEX -3 LAA -4 CLE -4.5 MIN -5 KCR -5.5

    Stealing is illegal.

    Sandoval was a damn good pitcher, but I hate counting on those types of mid season comebacks. We need to add a #2.
  12. moonslav59
    I like the idea of adding a solid #2/3 type SP'ers who is not a rental. That pushed Gio to 3, Bello to 4 and we have Fitts & Sandoval for the 5 slot. Buehler remains a longshot.
  13. moonslav59
    I was thrilled the day of that trade.
  14. moonslav59
    I remember, now. It was a pile of Nomar.
  15. moonslav59
    Mark Poilshuk reports: Tanner Houck is being evaluated by Red Sox team doctors after sustaining “a recurrence of the right pronator strain” the right-hander initially suffered back in mid-May...
  16. moonslav59
    Kyson Witherspoon signs for $5M bonus. (The slot was $5.11M.) With the 15th pick, the Sox drafted and signed a consensus top 10 player for slightly under slot. Fangraphs had him 6th, BA had him going 7th and Keith Law & MLB.com had him 10th.
  17. moonslav59
    If we add a solid #2 SP'er, maybe we can get by without boosting the pen. We can roll the dice by hoping returning pitchers from the IL or converted SP'ers can be enough help. SP1 Crochet SP2 Ryan, Keller, or ____ (not a rental, PLEASE!) SP3 Giolito SP4 Bello SP5 Fitts or Sandoval (The other goes to the pen) Closer: Chapman RP2: Whitlock RP3: Wilson RP4 Weissert RP5 Bernardino RP6 Alcala RP7 Buehler RP8 Sandoval or Fitts, Hicks, Houck, Murphy, I Campbell, Harrison, Criswell, Kelly, Guerrero I really hate the idea of giving good prospects for a rental, and a 1Bman rental seems to make it even worse. If we can get one with Rule 5 borderline prospects and maybe a decent but blocked second tier prospect, okay, but I'm still against trading a top 8-9 prospects for a Naylor, Hoskins, ___ type. (Alonso, okay.)
  18. moonslav59
    Keep up the O bashing. It works.
  19. moonslav59
    He can play just about everyday, if he DHs, when Bello pitches.
  20. moonslav59
    Certainly, a couple of legit hits.
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed. Narvaez can DH to get rest.
  22. moonslav59
    You guys were all right: our offense is BRUTAL!
  23. moonslav59
    Yes, but the cost for these two rentals will likely be steep, and after this year, we got nada.
  24. moonslav59
    About as surprising as the +2 DRS and +1 OAA.
  25. moonslav59
    LOL.
