    Stealing is illegal.

    Sandoval was a damn good pitcher, but I hate counting on those types of mid season comebacks. We need to add a #2.
  3. moonslav59
    I like the idea of adding a solid #2/3 type SP'ers who is not a rental. That pushed Gio to 3, Bello to 4 and we have Fitts & Sandoval for the 5 slot. Buehler remains a longshot.
  4. moonslav59
    I was thrilled the day of that trade.
  5. moonslav59
    I remember, now. It was a pile of Nomar.

    Mark Poilshuk reports: Tanner Houck is being evaluated by Red Sox team doctors after sustaining “a recurrence of the right pronator strain” the right-hander initially suffered back in mid-May...

    Kyson Witherspoon signs for $5M bonus. (The slot was $5.11M.) With the 15th pick, the Sox drafted and signed a consensus top 10 player for slightly under slot. Fangraphs had him 6th, BA had him going 7th and Keith Law & MLB.com had him 10th.

    If we add a solid #2 SP'er, maybe we can get by without boosting the pen. We can roll the dice by hoping returning pitchers from the IL or converted SP'ers can be enough help. SP1 Crochet SP2 Ryan, Keller, or ____ (not a rental, PLEASE!) SP3 Giolito SP4 Bello SP5 Fitts or Sandoval (The other goes to the pen) Closer: Chapman RP2: Whitlock RP3: Wilson RP4 Weissert RP5 Bernardino RP6 Alcala RP7 Buehler RP8 Sandoval or Fitts, Hicks, Houck, Murphy, I Campbell, Harrison, Criswell, Kelly, Guerrero I really hate the idea of giving good prospects for a rental, and a 1Bman rental seems to make it even worse. If we can get one with Rule 5 borderline prospects and maybe a decent but blocked second tier prospect, okay, but I'm still against trading a top 8-9 prospects for a Naylor, Hoskins, ___ type. (Alonso, okay.)

    Keep up the O bashing. It works.
  10. moonslav59
    He can play just about everyday, if he DHs, when Bello pitches.
  11. moonslav59
    Certainly, a couple of legit hits.
  12. moonslav59
    Agreed. Narvaez can DH to get rest.
  13. moonslav59
    You guys were all right: our offense is BRUTAL!
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, but the cost for these two rentals will likely be steep, and after this year, we got nada.
  15. moonslav59
    About as surprising as the +2 DRS and +1 OAA.
  16. moonslav59
    LOL.
  17. moonslav59
    Two losses: season over.
  18. moonslav59
    I remember us trading Nomah, but who was Nomar?
  19. moonslav59
    When's the last time we heard about the botched Bogey extension?
  20. moonslav59
    I was hoping Cora would start Mayer at 2B and put Romy at 1B, instead of Toro or at DH, instead of Yoshida vs the lefty. Toto and Yoshida had 4 of our 6 hits. Maybe Corta knows more than we do. Just maybe. Geesh- two games and we are back to mega- nega- ville.
  21. moonslav59
    It's hard to know. He's the kind of hitter that can bring his numbers up to career norms in a week or two. I agree that the word "genius" would fit, but when you see so much hindsight judging going on, why not with this move, too?
  22. moonslav59
    True, but if he knows he will reach 140, he might demand a lot, but this assumes he stays healthy and keeps pitching like an ace or solid #2 for 12 more starts. I haven't heard a peep about current extension talks.
  23. moonslav59
    I would do Casas & Sandlin. I probably would do Casas & Romero, but if we lose Bregman, we may wish we didn't. Casas and Early might be okay, as we just added so many pitchers in the draft. Ideally, we'd offer Casas and Mullins and cross our fingers.
  24. moonslav59
    He's got 77.2 IP and needs to reach 140. There are 62 games left, and Gio could get 12-13 starts. It's a close call. He'd need 5.1 per start w 12 GS or just under 5 IP per start w 13 GS. Giving him the first start out of the ASB gives him a better chance at 13 GS.
  25. moonslav59
    He's been streaky over his career, but not usually this bad, unless influenced by injury. If this is a sign of career decline, this early, Brez may end up being viewed as a genius.
