    I liked Williams more, too, but the upgrade was not enough to offset the other losses. Getting Fried was great. I had advocated us signing him, a lot, but he is not enough to offset losing Cole and Cortes. Bellinger is not close to Soto. Yes, the Yanks have some younger guys with expectations of growth and improvement, but we have more, so I did not see that as a gain over the Sox. I honestly felt, the Yanks got worse over the winter. They were maybe even before the Cole injury news broke, IMO.

    It looks bad, now, but there is a lot of season left, and maybe this trade deadline, we will actually do something helpful.
  3. moonslav59
    Looks like his bowed legs. I was thinking maybe Rico, since that looks like third base behind him.

    I'm excited to see all the Sox arms moving up the ladder.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not sold on Campbell b eing the best choice at 1B, but let's roll with it... 1. L Duran CF 2. R Campbell 1B 3. L Devers DH 4. R BRegman 3B 5. L Abreu RF (Refsnyder v L) 6. L Anthony LF 7. R Story 2B 8. L Mayer SS 9. R Narvaez/Wong C Bench: R Rafaela, R Romy, Ref/Abreu, Wong/Narv (Toro & DHam to AAA)
  7. moonslav59
    He was upstaged by Tolle, who K'd 12 in 5 scoreless innings. (3H and 0 BB) The staffed K's 19!
  8. moonslav59
    Seems obvious. I'd be okay with calling up Mayer and moving another infielder to 1b, despite none looking like a good fit at first. I'd also call up Anthony. (BTW< Mayer and Anthony went 5-10, tonight.)
  9. moonslav59
    That was what I suggested- or save the 40 man slot and call up Grissom to play 1B w Romy.
  10. moonslav59
    MLBTR To replace Casas on the active roster, the team has selected Abraham Toro’s contract from Triple-A Worcester. Boston had an open spot on the 40-man, so no further corresponding transaction was necessary.
  11. moonslav59
    We had an open 40 slot for Toro, anyway. The Casas replacement slot is TBD.
  12. moonslav59
    Toro is an easy guy to later DFA, too. (Hate to say it, but...)
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, I'm behind the timeline. Been on a plane to Maine, this AM and missed the boat.
  14. moonslav59
    I had Romy vs LHPs and Grissom or Grandal v RHPs. (Yes, Toro is better, too.)
  15. moonslav59
    Some of these injuries were known ahead of the season, but damn... Crawford, Gio, Bello, Sandoval, Fitts and now Buehler Hendriks, Wong, Yoshida and now Casas.
  16. moonslav59
    Toro, TORO, TORO!
  17. moonslav59
    Delay tactic to choose who to add to the 40?
  18. moonslav59
    I't not an ideal platoon, but Romy is so bad vs RHPs, Grissom's .623 career split is significantly better.' If the hope is that Grissom can return to his 2022 numbers, I think that has to be part of any reason to give him a chance, then his ,723 split, that year is not so bad. Grandal might be the better platoon bat, and he'd offer a 3rd catcher option that allows for more PH'ing for Narvaez, when needed.
  19. moonslav59
    It's the "American way." Are you some kinda commie? (LOL)
  20. moonslav59
    Umm, I mentioned 1B. You want Wong at 1B?
  21. moonslav59
    They also lost Torres. He's been their third best hitter over the past 2-3 years, so they lost #2 and #3. Other players like Stanton & LeMahieu were already in decline before 2025. Getting D Williams and Fried looked real good, but the Lost Cole, Cortes and Holmes, among others. They did not get better, on paper, IMO. If anything, I'd say worse, overall.
  22. moonslav59
    It doesn't have to be that way, and Yoshida isn't even facing gametime pitching, now.
  23. moonslav59
    Replacing Rafaela should greatly improve the offense, but the D would suffer some. If somehow we get Devers at 1B, we'd have the DH role for people to share and allow Anthony enough ABs to be worth the call-up.
  24. moonslav59
    I'd sit him down and ask what he thinks about it. If he seems hesitant or worse, I'd try to ask if he'd give it a try in practice and see how he likes it. Remind him that he wanted to play in the field and not DH, and maybe this might be better. If he still says no, I'm in the school of telling him he needs to pick up a glove and do what's right for the team. This is a way to get Anthony playing near FT (or Mayer.)
  25. moonslav59
    I think Grandal has played some 1B.
