    So, extend him 1 more year and buyout his last arb year? I'm not sure. I can see both sides.

    It looks like Cora likes... 1. Anthony 2. Story 3. Duran 4. Contreras 5. Abreu 6. Durbin I hope he slots Rafaela 9th, but we've seen him bat 7th in ST'ing. I wonder if he tweaks things vs lefties, especially when and if Romy returns and shows he still rakes lefties.

    Too funny! I almost busted a gut!

    The Pirates scored every inning after the first! The Sox had 7 hits and 8 BBs.

    The power 5!

    He was a huge part of the team's success, last season and is likely a big key to this season's outlook. He blew away his most recent seasons' numbers and actually had a lower K/9 rate. His BB/9 was way better than his career norm. It's nice having Whitlock to take some pressure off him, and I'm looking forward to having a healthy Slaten for the full season. Whoever goes to the pen from Oviedo, Crawford & Sandoval could eat up a lot of middle innings, including some high leverage ones. Weissert is probably the 7th and 8th inning guys, but Watson or Moran may move up.

    Does PIT have more ex Sox players than the Dodgers? I see Yorke, E Valdez and Jh Garcia in today's game. They also added some Sox minor leaguers. STL added Dobbins & Fitts and some minor leaguers, this winter. MIL added DHam, Harrison & Drohan. The Dodgers have Mookie & Kike. The winner is the CWS who no longer have Moncada, but they have Teel, Meidroth, Hicks, Sandlin, Beni, Wikelman, Murphy, Newcomb, Paez plus Montgomery (not on the 40) 6 ex Sox pitchers on their 40. 3 everyday players.

    Rafaela with a bomb!
  9. moonslav59
    A net would help!
  10. moonslav59
    Okay, so you were just agreeing with the MVP sarcasm- a position nonetheless. 🤣
  11. moonslav59
    Probably the easiest stat to predict correctly.
  12. moonslav59
    So, not so much "love" as confidence in his abilities. My faves as of the moment: 1. Rafaela 2. Narvaez 3. Abreu 4. Romy 5. Whitlock
  13. moonslav59
    Good to see a stated opinion. "Extend the Butterfly Man," thus spoke Ole-red-a-thustra.
  14. moonslav59
    I really like Duran, but your love for him is beyond limits.
  15. moonslav59
    If they play him in the OF, the other OF'er's value is diminished.
  16. moonslav59
    Could be. Has he had an observed throwing session?
  17. moonslav59
    How much do you pay to extend a platoon bat, even if it's the strong side platoon? His .872 OPS vs RHPs is 12th in MLB since 2023 (His best sample size.) He's 17th, if I drop the PA sample size to 500 and 19th at 300+ PAs. That's damn good- no doubt. BTW... .827 Abreu .796 Contreras .795 Masa & .794 Casas
  18. moonslav59
    I think, assuming all healthy: Duran: DH 120 games, LF 30 gms, CF 5 gms
  19. moonslav59
    Ranger Suarez starts today! The line-up: Anthony LF Story SS Duran DH Contreras 1B Abreu RF Durbin 3B Rafaela CF IKF 2B Wong C (I think the first 6 might be the template for the 2026 season.)
  20. moonslav59
    More likely, we'd trade Masa, Mullins & Cespedes and hope someone pays half his contract. (Getting nothing in return.)
  21. moonslav59
    Next winter, Gray and Sandoval are out of team control, but your point is still a good one. I would not extend Duran, unless it's a team friendly deal, and I might want to see how 2026 goes, first. FAs in 2027: SP: Skubal, Guasman, Perlata, Woodruff, Bieber and more 3B: Bichette (opt out) & Bohm 2B: Hoerner, Chisholm & Torres SS: JP Crawford (move Story to 2B?) C: Ryan Jeffers & Tyler Stephenson OF: Acuna, Springer, Arozarena, Grisham
  22. moonslav59
    If the whole Juan Soto offer was for real, then JH should be willing to go super large and long on a guy like Skubal. Having Skubal, Crochet & Suarez locked up for 5+ years would be awesome!
  23. moonslav59
    I think there are injury concerns with Gio.
  24. moonslav59
    On paper, the Durbin deal looks like a steal. I still think Duran as a LF'er for HOU (or some other team) should be worth more than he is as a DH for us, but since we did not upgrade the offense anywhere but 1B, I'm fine with keeping Duran & Abreu. Paredes at 3B and Durbin at 2B would have worked, too.
  25. moonslav59
    I think that is exactly why other GMs are leary of trading top talent for Duran- not to mention his defensive issues.
