    I'm not "mourning." either- just pointing out that we traded away what little and meager 1B depth we did have. I'm also wondering why we don't try Grandal. Maybe ebcause Toro has hit pretty well in the SSS.

    Who plays 3rd? Story, KC, DHam, Romy or... gasp... Grissom? I could see a Mayer SS & Rafaela 2B combo, but not if some stiff plays 3B. I strongly doubt Cora moves Rafaela out of CF.

    Hendriks is buying his ticket out of Boston.
  4. moonslav59
    I'm not sure what this means. Am I the only one?

    Jh Garcia is showing just how lucky I can be with prospect rankings! LOL SSS, but he's at 1.143 in AAA. Sandlin went 7 IP, 3H, oER, just 1BB and 8 Ks. Tolle looked good for GRE : 4.1, 5, 1, 2, 5
  6. moonslav59
    I fully realize the dilemma.
  7. moonslav59
    Or, Raffy 1B and Roman DH.
  8. moonslav59
    Agreed.

    I've been a big Cora supporter, as I was with Tito, but sometimes a change is needed, even if just "change for change's sake." I'm not saying I'm on the fire Cora bandwagon, yet, but I'm as close as ever, and the wagon is already weighted down with posters and fans.

    Zanetello is so far down on my rankings list, I'm not sure why he gets so much attention. He's 36th on SP.com

    It's interesting to see the numbers for our pitching staff. .654 OPS Against Pen (4.15 ERA) .738 OPS Against Starters (3.76) I know we can never all agree on anything, but to me these were out top 5 SP'ers going into the season (not counting Sandoval) .567 Crochet 2.04 in 12 GS .920 Houck 8.04 in 9 .702 Buehler 3.95 in 8 ,795 Bello 3.83 in 8 .799 Giolito 5.27 in 5 GS or N/A Crawford Our depth has not done all that badly, except Newcomb's last start or two: .603 Fitts 2.70 in 4 .765 Dobbins 4.21 in 7 ,836 Newcomb in 5 I realize rbis is a stat many do not value all that highly, myself included, but here are the numbers as we just passed the 1/3 mark to the season and approach 40%: 50 Devers (leads leasgue) 35 Bregman 34 Duran 29 Abreu 21 Story, 20 Rafaela, 17 Narvaez, 16 KC, 11 Ref

    This pretty much says it all. (I will say, his bat is not worse than our 2B batters have been. He's at .639 and the 2B crew is at .622. Mayer at SS and Rafaela at 2B could be a boost to the offense, as well.)

    I'm not giving up, just yet, but I don't see this team going anywhere but near .500, this season. It's very sad, because it did look like we made some significant improvements to high need areas, last winter. It looked like we had decent SP'er depth, improved defense and about the same offense, which was not bad, last year. Out pen was a known area of continued need, but that is the one area that seems easier to address mid season. OH well. I know many want heads to roll, but I find it hard to be hyper critical towards those that made deals I agreed with.

    To me, Zanetello is zilch, until he shows me otherwise.

    The tale of the 1 IP Openers, tonight... Penrod pitched another 1 inning scoreless in an opener role. Anthony 1-4 w BB & 2B. GRE is up 9-6 in the 6th, as Chris Murphy opened with 1 scoreless inning, too. Anderson is 3-3 and YRod has 4 rbi on 2 hits Song pitched a 1 IP scoreless opener, as SAL won game 1. The second game is scoreless after 4 with Ehrlicher going 2.2 scoreless. Little solace, when the big club is stinking up the city.
  16. moonslav59
    Cora has used Devers in the 4 slot (more often than the 2 slot in '24,) but I'm not sure he'll move him, this year. Without Bregman, maybe some tinkering is needed. I could see: L Duran L/R Abreu/Ref L Mayer L Devers L Anthony R Narvaez
  17. moonslav59
    You've said this over and over, and I wonder if you truly believe there was no chance Casas would turn his season around, as he had before. I'd much rather have a healthy Casas, right now, than a guy like Toro on a likely lucky streak.
  18. moonslav59
    I didn't even know Rafaela, when I liked JBJ so much.
  19. moonslav59
    Including me.
  20. moonslav59
    Seems this way, now. I agree. I still think we can turn it around, but I'm not seeing any spark. Losing Bregman doesn't help.
  21. moonslav59
    A perfect post.
  22. moonslav59
    I think we expected to get nothing. Maybe this will pay the uber fare for an Anthony call-up.
  23. moonslav59
    Hickey is really heating up. He does play 1B, now, and could be an emergency 3rd catcher, but at age 25, you wonder if this is for real. He homered, tonight and is up to .777, after a pretty bad start. Anthony hit his 8th homer, but I guess he has to wait for an injury or trade to ever get the call. Eaton homered, too. Grissom went 2-4 w a 2B & BB. Jordan homered (.900) in the POR loss, and Romero walked 4 times (.820.) Wehunt K'd 9 in 6 IP (0BB, 4 hits & 2 ER.) GRE & SAL rained out and the FCL Sox lost 2 games 5-1 and 6-1. Buchanan Speaking & Writing Speak and write in complete sentences, all the time. Create situations where students prsent using complete sentences.
  24. moonslav59
    Yup, and the Narvaez one, too, in all likelihood. Maybe Weissert improves some and helps us for years to come, too.
  25. moonslav59
    Nice to see Fitts come back with a decent showing. Hopefully, we can inch up the pitch count and he can step into the 3 slot role. I never expected him to be one of our best hopes for that slot, but baseball is a funny game like that.
