    I never thought that being charming and personable was an important trait of a good GM/CBO. Just make good moves- significantly more than bad or neutral ones. Do the best with the situation and circumstances handed to you. Usually that will translate to wins, but sometimes the circumstances are so overwhelming, some slack is needed on the winning element of grading out a GM.

    Yes, making the playoffs is the first priority, especially after making it just once since 2018. That's once in 6 seasons, and this is season 7. That being said, we play NYY & TOR, and so we have a real say in our chances at winning the division and perhaps skipping the first round of playoffs. That is a worthy secondary goal. Of course, the goal is to take one game at a time and doing our best to win as many as we can, at least until that game result no longer matters, if ever.

    I think Holobetz and Phillips are tied. Holobetz has already shown he can do well. Phillips has more "unknown" upside.
  5. moonslav59
    Didn't DSL make it and lose round one.
  6. moonslav59
    If anybody can get 5, it might be Chapman with this catching crew.
  7. moonslav59
    Godbout at .950 with GRE (A+.) Maybe he can give a boost to the bat side of the farm. Arias is at .800 with POR (20 ABs), Riemer .873, Romero .755 Maximus Martin is at .826 w GRE. Encarnacion .929 w SAL (A-) Anderson .924 (A-) GRod .872 and Winnay .827 FCL: Azocar 1.006, Jh Garcia .965 (promoted), Linarez .901, Fermin .831, J Rod .769 (Catcher) DSL: Brito 1.103, Darville 1.002, Andujar .974, Primera .895, Welch .863, Ogando .860, Alvarado .853, H Ramos .827, D Soto .799, H Rivas .777

    The next 9 games: BOS: 3 at ATH, (day off THU) 3 NYY (HUGE GAMES!) and 3 ATH NYY: (Day off MON) 3 v DET, 3 at BOS and 3 at MN TOR: (Day off MON) 3 v HOU, 3 BAL, 4 at TBR DET: (Day off MON) 3 at NYY, 3 at MIA, 3 v CLE HOU: (Day off MON) 3 at TOR, 3 at ATL, 3 v TEX (then 3 v SEA) SEA: 3 v STL, 4 v LAA, 3 at KCR (3 at SEA) Very telling week plus, coming up.

    He hits better than Yoshida, too. Runs better.
  10. moonslav59
    bottom 4: 4 for 14 with 2 BB. 4 runs scored 3 RBI Good to see Story step up big, too.
  11. moonslav59
    Not bad losing 3 out of 4 and still just 3.5 from the ALE lead! 3.0 behind DET for #2 in AL. 1.5 behind the damn Yankees. (Losing ground to them sucked!) up 1.0 on HOU. up 3.5 on SEA up 5.0 on WC (TEX) and 5.5 on KCR/6.0 CLE We have the 8th best record in MLB (+0.5 on SDP) -0.5 from LAD (7th)
  12. moonslav59
    I'm sure other teams have examples like this, but we have our share, for sure.
  13. moonslav59
    There is time to snap out of it. BTW, Duran has hit .840 in last 34 games. .810 last 13 games. 1.014 last 6 games. We need more slumpers like Duran.
  14. moonslav59
    The bottom of the order carried us.
  15. moonslav59
    Your predictions have been great, today.
  16. moonslav59
    ...and when Rafaela swings at a pitch 8 inches high, he should be benched.
  17. moonslav59
    Grasping for straws by playing the hot bat? 1.032 last 12 games (27 PAs) .795 last 23 games (47 PAs)
  18. moonslav59
    Holobetz went 6 for POR: 4 hits, 0 ER, 0BB & 2K. Guerrero and Song are blowing up. (He was part of the Priester trade.) J Bello went 5 IP: 3 hits, 0ER, 2 BB and 4K. (He came in the Devers trade.)
  19. moonslav59
    Hickey has been red hot. He's homered 2 times, today. He's Rule 5, this winter. Any chance of giving him a shot, this month?
  20. moonslav59
    Harrison pitched the first inning and was yanked. Anyone know why?
  21. moonslav59
    True, but we have 12 pitchers in the top 20 to 6 in 2005, so yes on being deeper. Anyone know any other pitchers from the Sox farm in 2005 that made the majors? (Note: none from this year might come true, as well.)
  22. moonslav59
    He was hitting the ball pretty hard for outs for a while. I'm not sure about "Checking out," as some players just have slumps that are not related to being disinterested or checking out. The injury may be a factor, but he should be over it by now. Unless he starts hitting, we may not have much hope.
  23. moonslav59
    Holobetz might turn into something, eventually, too. I'm not so sure about YRod, but he's still only 19. Between these two and Phillips, the jury is still out, but Priester's 2025 season is setting the bar pretty high.
  24. moonslav59
    So true. There is so much luck involved in baseball, and that is one reason they play 162 games. We need to turn this around, and quickly.
  25. moonslav59
    Here is another guy- not traded, but who had a 5.84 ERA with the Sox, last year in 25 IP (1.622 WHIP.) He signed with the Cubs, this winter, and now has an 0.978 WHIP and 2.20 ERA in 61 relief innings... Brad Keller.
