    When is the last time we were outhit and won by 5 runs?
  2. moonslav59
    Hats off to Ceddanne. He started off slowly on defense, but is back to GG level. Since May 5th, his OPS has remained remarkably: .726 to .804 Most days between .760 and .790.
  3. moonslav59
    Exactly. The guy made a lot of good moves, and many discounted them based on the team record. Some pointed to DHam and Jordan, Tibbs and Meidroth as Brez blunders. I can't help but chuckle. Several moves from last year or the winter before are just starting to show value. How about the Tolle draft pick? When's the last time a Sox GM got this much value from a pitching draftee so soon after a draft?

    I'd prefer a SS over 2B, but they look to be too expensive. Siegler has not proven anything.
  5. moonslav59
    Gonzales is not a RH pitcher.
  6. moonslav59
    With the right 3B addition, moving Durbin to 2B would be fine but adding a middle infield in not as complex.
  7. moonslav59
    We have two catchers with a catching OPS of .644. I've mentioned middle infield, too. While BLowe is a LHB, he's got serious power and as a rental will not be as costly as others. .630 2B .644 C .645 SS Others have mentioned LF/DH more than I: .648 Duran... errr... I mean LF .674 DH All other positions are over .715

    No prorating allowed.

    This team still has the same holes it had before this stretch. They will come back to haunt us at some point. The good thing is, other AL teams have as many or more holes than we do, or their holes are deeper or more profound. This was a known on day one of the season. Can a couple midlevel trades be enough to get us to be a top contender? Some think we already are, and I'd agree we are a top 3 AL contender, now. Do we really want to trade away our very top contenders for one or two major pieces? A few weeks ago, many calling for an all-in approach felt we were a lot more than 2 players away from being ring-worthy,

    I'm not the one claiming I said the opposite. I'm not the one calling posters discussing trades to improve the team "losers" for not wanting to improve the team. I'm going back "behind the curtain," but do us all a favor... SHUT THE "F" UP!
  11. moonslav59
    I don't think Jeffers and or BLowe are irrelevant, but they are not "all-in" buys, either. I do agree, that I'd rather sell by trading Gray than buy just some utility infielders and Luis Garcia/Lucas Sims type RP'er or Paxton/DMay type SP'er.
  12. moonslav59
    This is not a strength area of the team: Story, Mayer, Siegler, Monasterio, Cheng & Arias (IKF is a FA after 2026.)
  13. moonslav59
    It's actually not just "lately" with Brez,
  14. moonslav59
    Ole Red ranted "The Illusion of Contention" on and on. It didn't take long for me to go back and find this... "I’m open to listening on the Con Man too, but after so much time the Red Sox have spent the past few years trying to find a capable 1B it would take more than a real lot to deal him IMO, and if so he would have to be replaced, which wouldn’t be so easy to do."
  15. moonslav59
    Jones at leadoff vs the lefty. Monasterio at SS and Wong catching. Who can doubt anything Tracy does?
  16. moonslav59
    I'm not ready to say Arias should be the 2027 SS or even 2Bman, and as of now, I do have Mayer over Arias on the SS depth chart. We should really keep both, but I see Arias as having more upside, so if we had to trade one, it would be Mayer.

    He gets cranky when we win and joyous when we lose.
  18. moonslav59
    The funny thing is, we are suggesting trades to help the team, and he screams we don't want to improve the team. A couple weeks ago, he was making fun of those who remained optimistic or said we were better than the record indicated, but of course only the record matters to him. Now our record is over .500, and he acts like he's been all in on this year from day one. At least he's not bashing Brez anymore, but that will change after a 2 game losing streak.
  19. moonslav59
    Moran was a good pitcher a couple years back- before the injury. I was glad we got him. I'm happier, now.
  20. moonslav59
    Passing the Judgeless Yanks seems easier, but I think the Rays have enough holes to catch, too.
  21. moonslav59
    And calling us losers 5 times in one post is not saying we cant state our opinions. He berated us for thinking we had a chance and now berates us for not wanting to sell our soul for this year - a year he thought .500 should be our goal.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, and I'm willing to trade #3 Witherspoon, #5 Gonzales, #8 Godbout and #12 Phillips. Lugo was #13 Paulino was #15 Portes was #29 Coffey, Zeferjahn, Kavadas and others were below 30, when traded. I'm not for trading Arias and seeing Story at SS, next year. I'm not for trading Eyanson and needing starts from Holobetz, next year. Same with Early. I'd part with one of these guys to get a 2.5 years controlled player like Langeliers, but not 2 of them. I'll add more lower prospects, but that is usually what gets deals like this done.
  23. moonslav59
    I already feel like my suggested offer is a gross overpay. I'm not going higher, even if the Yanks end up getting him. We can get someone else. I'm not for trading Arias, Eyanson or Early, but would give one for a controlled player like him, but not two.
  24. moonslav59
    I know Arias is an unknown, but our middle infield need is too great to trade our best hope. He is just a "hope," but I'd rather hope on him than a Monasterio & Cheng SS platoon. I'm not sold on Siegler, either, and we are not sure Romy can stay over .700 v RHPs.
  25. moonslav59
    This is the same clown that was berating the optimistic fans for being positive and talking playoffs. He told us to make .500 the goal not the playoffs. There were "too many teams between us and the playoffs."
