    To me, it's Eyanson OR Early plus Witherspoon and maybe Phillips or Gonzales/Cespedes.

    I'm not (yet) sold on Siegler, Monasterio & Cheng as being our middle infield solutions. My hopes on Mayer are lower now than before, and I was never super high on him, except for his defense outlook. Arias may turn out like Mayer or even worse- Grissom or Jeter Downs. I'm not counting on JH to open the wallet to let Brez buy us our needs next season. We'll be needing guys like Arias and Eyanson to fill holes. If we can't get Langeliers for Early & Witherspoon, which is already more than I want to give up, then we move on. I dislike overpaying for rentals as much as anyone, but there is a reason teams do it- they cost less. We should make trades like Langeliers in the winter.

    Moran and others have looked pretty good, of late. OPS Against last 4 weeks: .120 Moran (.067 last 14 days) .499 Guerrero .500 Bello .573 Weissert .585 Watson (Slaten is at .485 in the last 14 days.)

    I go back to the summer we traded away M Lugo, Paulino, Coffey and a bunch of other prospects ranked 10-35 for some players that seemed like they'd be helpful but not major upgrades, and think this what we will do again. With Gray becoming a FA, and the health status of Crochet and others in serious doubt, next year and beyond, I think we'll keep Eyanson, Tolle & Early. With our middle infield needs, I think we'll keep Arias and probably Mayer, too. I know some will not like this, but planning for the future is how we've gotten to this point from where we were a few years back. Teams will want Holobetz, Phillips and some other Matt Lugo types. They won't give us the world for them, but we can get better, and still keep the future in mind and in our plans.
  5. moonslav59
    I doubt they'd do it, even if we added Gonzales or Phillips.
  6. moonslav59
    I'd rather we trade Mayer, too. I think Early has more trade value to a team like the A's and maybe every team's GM.
  7. moonslav59
    Our strength is pitching, so this type of deal makes sense. The A's must realize they can never win without vastly improving their staff. Win-win.
  8. moonslav59
    Start a "Fire Tracy" thread.
  9. moonslav59
    I'm on the buy side, now but not "all in" or even close. Get a bat and an arm that can take some serious innings, when our kids hit their limits. Nothing outlandishly costly, in terms of top prospects like Eyanson or Arias. Witherspoon or Phillips, okay. Gonzales or Godbout, okay. Holobetz and below? Fine. I might go as high as Early, since he may not help much this year, but only for something very special.

    Speaking of data, maybe science is being poo-poo'd and analytics and nerds are bad words, these days, but maybe- just maybe- it can work.
  11. moonslav59
    We aren't likely to trade Anthony, but who knows?
  12. moonslav59
    Not hearing the "idiot" word much, lately.
  13. moonslav59
    Another big win!
  14. moonslav59
    If they only had a RP'er named Morrisey.
  15. moonslav59
    Abreu has two, but he had a .500 OPS guy behind him.
  16. moonslav59
    Makes sense, when you have one good hitter.
  17. moonslav59
    IBBs (4)
  18. moonslav59
    It's the sliding scale on judging that bugs me. we traded pitching depth and added pitching depth. I'll take what we added over what we lost: Tolle, Gray, Suarez, Bennett, Oviedo, Sandoval, Rivera Chapman, Moran, Slaten, Weissert vs Priester, Harrison & Drohan (I only mentioned the plus guys.)
  19. moonslav59
    TBH, I was shocked at his very low career high leverage OPS. His Late & Close makes up for it, a lil bit.
  20. moonslav59
    This stretch is pretty amazing. Last year we went 8-1 and 10-2 in one stretch and another stretch of 10 in a row with 12 of 13. They also went 9-1 in another stretch and 7-1 in another.
  21. moonslav59
    There were some pretty big deadline and near deadline deals, last year: Correa Mason Miller Helsey & Beiber were about as big as Naylor. With less know sellers, maybe this deadline is a real dud for everyone. A Skubal trade would be huge. Lindor or KMarte would be significant.
  22. moonslav59
    Some notable values: 69 Arias 32 Early 30 Mayer 24 Azocar & 22 Gonzales 15 Narvaez 13 Valera & Anthony 12 Witherspoon 9 Godbout & 8 Phillips 7 Duran & 5 Whitlock 5 Cespedes & 4 Rivera 4 Chapman & 3 Wong 3 Holobetz _________________ 120 Wood 80 Soto 66 Yordan 63 Neto 47 Joe Ryan 44 Langeliers & Soderstrom 36 Pena 34 KMarte & B Buxton 31 Keaschall 24 M Shaw 21 Paredes 20 F Alvarez 18 Schmidt 16 Horwitz 12 Reynolds 8 Peralta 7 Arraez & Jeffers 4 B Lowe & Steer -2 G Torres -25 Alonso -30 Lindor -41 Adames

    SF also had "given up" on Harrison and PIT on Priester. Note: we exposed Drohan to Rule 5, lost him, got him back, then traded him. It's weird how Harrison, Priester & Drohan all changed teams before thriving with their most recent teams.
  24. moonslav59
    How many Sox fans were thrilled the day we added Pearce? Nate, yes.
  25. moonslav59
    I know it's not what many want to hear, but I seriously doubt Brez will trade top prospects. He may even deem Witherspoon and Phillips as too much to give up. Brace yourself for more meh trades and some serious backlash from many Sox fans. I'm not even sure we will offer a big enough package to land Ward or Steer. I'm pretty sure Arraez, BLowe and Jeffers will cost too much for Brez to pull a deal. These are the names we may see offered, and you get what you pay for. Don't expect the next Kyle Schwarber for Aldo Ramirez trade. 13 Holobetz 14 Cespedes 16 Romero 17 Wehunt 19 Uberstine 20 Paez, 21 Mullins, 24 Bastardo, 26 Monegro 25 Winnay, 31 Castro, 34 Jo Garcia, 36 Brannon, 37 Bleis, 43 YRod Maybe, for the right guy, we'd part with... 5 Gonzales, 6 Azocar, 8 Godbout 9 Valera or 12 Phillips
