    Nice article. You don't see a whole lot of sideways trades at the deadline (Vet for vet) but maybe we trade Duran or Abreu for a 1Bman and RP'er. A team like MIL might part with Hoskins for something other than prospects. (Note: I'm not for trading multiple years of Duran or Abreu for a rental 1Bman... or rental anything. I could see us trading one for a controllable player that fills a weak position.)

    What's the over/under on Devers BBs? 7?
  3. moonslav59
    Maybe with communication skills, but Brez is bold: Bloom was timid and indecisive. Bloom wilted under pressure.
  4. moonslav59
    It's Kristian with a "K." I only bring that up over the grief you gave me for calling Tyler "O'Neal." This is about winning, now, but also about having KC play everyday. He'll be back. I doubt he's the next Grissom.

    I'm wondering if the ask for Eldridge ever progressed to us offering back a lower ranked prospect with Devers.... like Devers plus Mullins & Romero for Eldridge & Hicks. (No Harrison or Tibbs.) It would have probably taken more...like Bleis & Cespedes or Sandlin.
  6. moonslav59
    Well, we can't call Brez a wimp. The guy is bold and decisive, but still carries the Sox torch on miscommunication and botched personal relationships. What baffles me is that we are so dysfunctional that apparently nobody ever sat down one on one and even asked Devers to play 1B. (Telling him to, would have been better than what we did.)

    I meant to put Paez in BOLD. I did put Hickey and Drohan in BOLD, but do not think they will be protected. I doubt Monegro is, either. I don't see a big roster crunch, this winter, but maybe that is based on my hopes that we spend all our winter budget on 2-3 players and not 4-5 or 6. Mullins is a close call, to me. I know Bleis is kinda far away, but you don't see any chance we protect him? I can see us trading Jordan & Monegro.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, I meant that, but I did mistakenly say Brez talked to Devers. My bad. The only "talk" was, sadly, through the media. Do these guys ever learn anything? They keep rinse and repeating the same mistakes.
  9. moonslav59
    Trades for longer term players are usually made in the winter. They are usually less expensive, too.

    We have to take one game at a time, and the team can't look beyond the next game, but we can. We absolutely have to make our move, right now. No game is easy, but the games we have scheduled up to the ASB are ones we can and have to win. The games after will test us about as much as one could imagine. Games before ASB: 3 @ SFG 3 @ LAA 3 v TOR 3 v CIN 3 @ WSH 3 v COL 3 v TBR We have 6 games vs the two ALE teams ahead of us, plus these next 3 vs a very good SFG team. The other 12 are games we must and should win each series. (8-4) If we can go 5-4 in the tough ones and 8-4 in the others, we can probably be sitting pretty well going into this brutal post ASB stretch: 3 @ CHC 3 @ PHI 3 v LAD 3 @ MIN 3 v HOU (Trade deadline before game 1) 3 v KCR 3 @ SDP 3 @ HOU This is 8 straight series vs good to very good teams.

    Jh Garcia might be my #2 or 3 by November.
  12. moonslav59
    Soxprospects.com has... 3. Arias 4. Perales 5. Tolle 6. Valera 7. Jh Garcia 9. Romero 10. Clarke 11. Early 12. Sandlin 13. Bleis 14. Cespedes 15. Gonzales (1. Anthony, 2. Mayer, 8. Dobbins will graduate.)
  13. moonslav59
    Detroit kinda stands alone atop the AL at 48-27. The next 11 teams are within 7.5 games of each other. 43-31 HOU ALW leader 43-31 NYY ALE leader WC 41-33 TBR +3.5 on #7 40-34 TOR +2.5 on #7 39-37 BOS +0.5 on #7 37-36 CLE -0.5 37-36 SEA -0.5 37-37 MIN -1.0 37-38 KCR -1.5 36-38 LAA -2.0 36-39 TEX -2.5 (Even BAL is still "in it" at -6.5)
  14. moonslav59
    That's crazy! It's actually 3 division leaders and 9 teams over or under the last WC slot by 2.5 games> The Sox have played 2-3 more games than most other teams, so we don't look as good in the loss column (T8) but are 6th in Ws.
  15. moonslav59
    Dobbins will graduate, soon. Campbell already did. Guerrero, Anthony and Mayer will, before long. This may be what we see for the rankings list, this winter: 1. Arias 2. Tolle 3. Perales 4. Jh Garcia 5. Clarke 6. Early 7. Tibbs 8. Bleis 9. Ju Gonzales 10. Romero 11. Cespedes 12. Sandlin 13. Valera 14. Jordon 15. Jo Garcia 16. Taylor 17. Soto 18. Azocar 19. Ehrhard 20. Uberstine
  16. moonslav59
    Yes, I under rated Ozuna's rental value. Maybe the deal without him.
  17. moonslav59
    Tibbs and Ehrhard had 2 hits, each in POR's close loss. WOO won 9-4 as Murphy pitched a scoreless inning with no hits or walks and 2 Ks. Jordan continued his rise with another 3 hits game. He's at .934 and passed Jh Garcia at .916, who had a 1-4 night. Rosier homered (.803) and Hickey keeps it warm w 2 hits. GRE lost, but Aita looked good: 7IP, 8H, 2ER, 1BB, 3K. Bleis, Taylor and YRod had the only 3 hits. Taylor walked 3 times. SAL lost. Cespedes (.711) and De Leon (.656) each had 2 hits.

    It seems like the Rays always play above their "on paper" expectations. I knew the Jays got better, and felt they and the Sox were the only ALE teams that did get better over the winter. I also felt the Astros got worse, and the other good teams from 2024, DET, KCR, SEA & CLE did nothing to Wow me. That was the major reason I had hope for 2025. I liked our roster moves, but the rest of the league's mediocrity really got me liking our outlook. The injury bug has really hit us, and I'm glad we had good depth. When you think of it, Dobbins, Narvaez, Toro, Romy and the kids were all considered depth. Wilson was looked on as our 6th or 7th Rp'er.
  19. moonslav59
    Yup. Pretty comfy win.
  20. moonslav59
    How long will this down stretch go on?
  21. moonslav59
    If Sean Murphy could learn to play 1B and be the back-up catcher to Narvaez, would ATL do this trade? To ATL: Story ($25M x 2 + $25M option for 2028 w $5M buyout) Basically $55M/2 or $75M/3 $10M a year for '27 & '28 plus $5M for buyout in '29= $25M Wong (3 arbs left) Winckowski (3 arbs left) To BOS: Murphy ($15M x 3 + $15M option for 2029- no buyout) Ozuna ($16M '26 then FA) The money is about the same for 2025, 2026 and 2027. ATL saves $15M in 2028. We get Ozuna to DH for 2025 and Murphy to back-up Narvaez and hopefully play 1B for the remainder of his deal. We replace Story's money with Murphy's, counting the money going to ATL. We open up the SS slot for Mayer. 2B would be open for Campbell/Romy and eventually Arias/Romero. It would be nice to get Sale back, but I doubt we could pull that off.

    That could be it. Or, he could just be streaky. 2024: .559 first 44 PAs 1.278 next 43 PAs (.917 first 77 PAs) .692 next 120 PAs .962 next 120 .593 last 120 2023: .950 first 58 .671 last 27

    SF came back to beat CLE and knock them a 1/2 game behind BOS. Devers went 1-3 w BB. No RBI.
