    So, Early jumped over Harrison. Early was not even Rule 5 eligible, so this caused a winter roster slot to be used up. That tells us that Harrison's ankle injury is the issue, or they lost all faith in his 2025 worthiness.

    I was thinking Suarez at 1B and your favorite, Mayer, at 3B. That still leaves 2B as our thorn.
  3. moonslav59
    He expertly "communicated" with the Whist Sox GM, and others.
  4. moonslav59
    If we spent it on Alonso, Suarez or Schwarber instead, I'd be okay.
  5. moonslav59
    I'd rather have Ref than Yoshida, Grissom, Eaton, Sogard, Sanchez and some pitchers like I Campbell, May, Hicks...

    I'm not buying that. I think he sets a firm offering price and won't budge. He got a lot done over the winter, made a huge summer trade. I think he sticks to the idea that overpaying for deadline deals should be avoided and to make most deals in the winter, It's not a bad strategy. I do wish he'd done more at the deadline (like get Joe Ryan or M Keller.) I do not think he should be fired for not doing a deal none of us know what the return was to be.
  7. moonslav59
    Sounds best, but someone will offer him 4-5 guaranteed, unless this slump worsens and lengthens.
  8. moonslav59
    I get your point and don't disagree. My point is, if we didn't get Phillips and Eyanson, wefd have gotten two other players at likely two different bonus payouts,.
  9. moonslav59
    I do agree that Eyanson looks better than anyone else we might have drafted, instead. I get your point about the added money and overslot signings. I'm glad we got both Phillips and Eyanson. I hope the Priester deal pays off for us, at some point. I think the odds that one of the three guys we got (or Eyanson) will give us some plus value is pretty high.

    I'm wondering if 4 years is too much. His offense was in decline for a few years before coming to BOS. OPS+ 162 in 2019 134 in '22 122 in '23 117 in '24 (129, now) He turns 32 in March.

    I'm looking more at the teams ahead of us than those behind us. All those teams have weak areas and have struggled at some point is the last month or two (or three.) People point to the Astros as a model organization, and rightfully so, but only COL has a higher chase rate, and ATH have a lower pitches seen per PA that they do, this year. I think HOU is 25th in runs scored.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, and if we didn't get Phillips and the money, we'd have darfted someone else besides Eyanson, who could have ended up better.
  13. moonslav59
    3 GB TOR 2.5 DET 1.0 NYY +1.5 HOU +3.5 SEA (last WC) +5.0 TEX (on the outside, now.) We have the 8th best record in all MLB: -0.5 LAD for 7th -1.0 NYY for 6th -1.5 CHC for 5th (The Sox are 1.5 games away from a top 5 team!)
  14. moonslav59
    He's kinda the last option, unless we cycle back to I Campbell or Moran. Is Guerrero ready, soon?
  15. moonslav59
    Good points, but the guy we might have gotten instead of Eyanson could end up outshining him.
  16. moonslav59
    But is this game Fred proof, yet?
  17. moonslav59
    Yup! The top 3 are 4-8 w 2 runs, 3 rbi and an HR
  18. moonslav59
    30 MLB Teams: Rankings by batting slot: 9th: Sox are 2nd best 8th: 26th 7th: 4th 6th: 6th 5th: 5th Before tonight!
  19. moonslav59
    Bottom 4, tonight: 3 for 7 w BB, HR, 3 runs, 2RBI Someone was saying one of our biggest weaknesses was the lower half of the line-up. (The same guy who said Narvaez was toast.) It's actually been one of our strengths, and not just tonight.
  20. moonslav59
    Not many other options. Alonso at 1B? (Bellinger?) G Torres?
  21. moonslav59
    I agree, but I do with we had played the A's earlier in the season when they really sucked.
  22. moonslav59
    I was wondering if they limited his innings due to the idea of a possible promotion, soon.
  23. moonslav59
    The A's are no longer a bad team, despite having the 3rd worst record in the AL. They are 20-15 in their last 35 games, 33-27 in last 60 games. They do much better on the road than home, so maybe that helps, this series.

    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.
