  1. Current IL 60 Day: Houck, Romy & Oviedo 15 Day: Crawford & Sandoval (to 60?) Gray, Uberstine & Slaten 10 Day: Casas (to 60?)
  2. I didn't say Duran doesn't deserve to play. Aren't you the one who says what are you doing now is all that matters?
  3. I'm not even sure Duran deserves to play. When he does, he should bat 9th. We need a leadoff hitter and a power bat, and it's not even May.
  4. Durbin or IKF would be utility. I explained that. We could have added a SS. We could have added a 2Bman (Mayer to 3B.) We could have added a 3Bman.
  5. Makes sense. Sandoval or Crawford could (retro) go to 60, too.
  6. Woo is taking a beating, tonight. Not much to report. Arias has homered for POR, while Ziehl got lit up. GRE is locked up in a low scoring battle. Ingrassia went 3.2- 2- 0- 2- 4. SAL won 12-2. Finley went 5 (4H 1ER 1BB 5K) The top 6 batters plus the #9 all had 2 hits. The team stole 6 bases and walked 6 times with 14 hits.
  7. Don't look now, but our top 4 and 5 of top 6 in the batting order are all over .700.
  8. He had a really good season on our farm, last year too.
  9. I did not think Bregman was the big bat we needed. I'm glad we didn't get him at even close to what the Cubs paid. My point was not that it was a mistake from my view. It was a mistake from their view as it was the stated goal for the off season. Durbin is not a big bat, and IMO, neither was Bregman. I'd prefer Durbin & Suarez over Bregman, but we still needed another big bat- somehow- from somewhere.
  10. A better answer might have been: "There's a reason he was left unprotected."
  11. No, but he's 200 points better than Durbin and balances the OF/IF unbalnce.
  12. I really liked the Willson signing. We just needed another big bat and did not get it. This isn't just my opinion. The Sox stated that was their goal, too.
  13. I'm glad we didn't pay Bregman, but he was clearly their #1 plan. My point was two-fold: 1. Had we signed him, he would not have filled the big bat need (first mistake) 2. They missed out getting him and settled on Durbin and a pitching upgrade: mistake #2 on failing to fill the big bat eed.
  14. Word in HOU was they'd have take Duran 1 for 1, but the Sox wanted more.
  15. It looks that way, but we must have taken him for some reason.
  16. Most are sucking for other teams, so there is that. 1 for 24 Refsnyder w SEA .631 Verdugo w NYY+ATL .661 Bregman for CHC .686 O'Neill w BAL .739 Bogey w SDP .761 Devers w SFG (.581 in '26) Oh wait, you said "favorite players" Betts .710 in '26 (.731 '25+'26 and .787 '24-'26)
  17. I could see some GMs not bothering to call Brez, because they knew he wanted too much in return. A few wouldn't call just because eve his $7.7M contract & two pending arbs was too much for their budget. I'm pretty sure HOU would have taken Duran for Paredes 1 for 1, but the rumor down here was that Brez wanted more added on. (HOU alsp prefered Abreu.) I still wonder about Matt Shaw for Duran, or something with Philly or SD, and there was even talk about something with LAD.
