    I've been super high on Willson- perhaps too high. I was glad we got Suarez over what we offered Bregman and certain over what he got. I like Durbin, but he's not the big bat we needed. He may work out fine. When I look at this last winter's moves, while I think we left a big hole on offense, I liked the overall additions. That makes it hard for me to then turn around and blame Brez for not doing better than what I thought was good. Let's hope teh additions more than make up for the power slot hole that was left unfilled.

    "Can't miss players" do not have a 1 in a hundred chance of hitting it big. Nobody is asking to lock in Casas, now. There was some talk earlier, and he is an example of why you don't/shouldn't lock every promising prospect up long term. The other aspect is how much are you paying them? Take Bello and KC, who seem like the most likely to be busts. Neither got superstar pay or even good star pay. Remaining pay: Bello: $6M, $8.5M, $16M, $19M then $1M buyout for 2030. That's $50M/4 remaining. What would Bello have gotten as a 26 year old FA coming off a 3 season with a 105 ERA+ and a 6.6 bWAR? Campbell: 26:$2M, 27:$3M, 28:$4M, 29:$6M, 30:$9M, 31:$13M, 32:$16M, 33:$19M club option ($4M buyout), 34:$21M club option (no buyout)

    Did the JD raving stop in 2019 and 2022? No, because they weren't having career years in those seasons. Who did Casas rave about when he had a couple nice seasons? How about Abreu who was better in '23-'24 combined than '25? O'Neill & Duran had great seasons in 2024. Who helped them?
  4. moonslav59
    Witherspoon has not, and Soto has yet to play, but overall YES! 11 Godbout YES! 12 Romero Meh 13 Uberstine IL 14 Holobetz may be top 10 by summer 15 Azocar YES! 16 Castro NO 17-18 TBD 19 Samaniego- OK 20 Wehunt OK
  5. moonslav59
    Woo is getting lit up- mostly Noah Song & Seth Martinez. KC is 2 for 3, so far. Arias is falling off a cliff- no HRs and just 2-4, so far. Ziehl has gone 6 IP, allowing just 1 run. SAL is up 4-0 in the 7th, as Patton went 5IP 2H 0ER 2BB 6K. Heyman & Azocar homered.
  6. moonslav59
    Another comp might be... Bregman + Alonso= 6 WAR or Bichette + Alonso= 6WAR vs Contreras + Mayer/Durbin= 5.9 WAR
  7. moonslav59
    He's cracked the .700 line and might be a walk and single away from the league OPS.
  8. moonslav59
    No doubt, and he still may work his way into Sox fans' hearts. I'd have been fine adding a big bat AND trading for Durbin. (Maybe no IKF?) In hindsight, BLowe or Donovan might have been the best choices. Hoerner was mentioned as a trade target, and I still think Paredes will have a couple very nice seasons.
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe the same time as Brez. Speaking of DD, here is what he may leave the next GM: (AAV/yrs) $42M x 2 Wheeler- 36 y/0 $30M x 5 Schwarber- 33 $27M x 8 Turner- 33 $27M x 5 Luzardo (begins in '27)- 29 $25M x 6 Harper- 33 $25M x 5 Nola-33 $15M x 3 Realmuto 35
  10. moonslav59
    Pretty wild to be 12-17 and just 2 GB the wild card slot.
  11. moonslav59
    Managers and GMs/CBOs have had opposing visions for about as long as those positions have existed, and Cora had a way of letting it be known with just enough shade to make it not look like he was attacking his boss. I always had a feeling the upper brass liked Cora so much that maybe he'd outlast Brez or even replace him, someday. That ain't happening.
  12. moonslav59
    Hey, Cora was DD's #1 pick, today. Does that mean anything to the "Wish we still had DD" fans?
  13. moonslav59
    So, Cora was Brez's one get out of jail free card?
  14. moonslav59
    The Yanks look good, now, but they were 10-9 in mid-April. All these AL teams have serious flaws. That might be the only hope we got.
  15. moonslav59
    There should never be too many Chads in the world.
  16. moonslav59
    100% VTek could have been given the interim manager job,
  17. moonslav59
    True. Also, if Oviedo was healthy & doing well, we'd have a starter to move to the pen.
  18. moonslav59
    Correct, but the Anthony issue was the main idea.
  19. moonslav59
    Then there is this: Lead off OBP in 2026 .354 Anthony .143 Duran
  20. moonslav59
    or false.
  21. moonslav59
    Had they trade Betts, that summer, would it count as one?
  22. moonslav59
    I was responding to someone who questioned it. At least I can admit I'm wrong.
  23. moonslav59
    It is. It was also pretty clear in March that no AL team looked really good.
  24. moonslav59
    Yes. My point was that I thought we hired the assiatnt before the interim hitting coach. ass backwards.
  25. moonslav59
    I remember one poster wanted him demoted. He hit .943 May 1st>>>
