    Yup. If money was limitless, okay, but getting Vladdy would mean bye-bye to these three, as soon as they lost their control years, plus others, maybe.
  2. moonslav59
    I think the uptick is a result of pitchers being instructed to throw with more and more spin and or velocity. The increased torque put on these guys arms is leading to the increase in injuries, IMO. This may not be rocket science.
  3. moonslav59
    I just don't see the need for another DH/1B type player, let alone ta anywhere near this cost. Casas isn't as good, but he's way cheaper and not a bad hitter. Devers looks like a DH only type- maybe 1B, if he's interested. I guess we could trade one.
  4. moonslav59
    I'm fine with whoever they think is the best, but I also think whatever gives them the most options to keep in the system, weather on the 40 or not will be a top priority.
  5. moonslav59
    I was thinking more about Ottavino vs Wink, but wink has options, so keeping Ottavino as "an option" might be worthwile.
  6. moonslav59
    We'd be hearing the 2024 O'Neill talk, all year long. Even just 110 might be talked about.
  7. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but no player ever repeats his career OPS, exactly the same going forward. Players make adjustments and can and have gotten better. My reasoning is more about wanting the kids to get an added year or control and to give the team as many viable options in their system as possible, early in the season. Keeping the kids off the 40 adds options, even if borderline viable.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, both would mean someone gets injured. Romy is a RHB. Why boot him from the 26? Are these guys under any control by the Soxc, or can they become FAs, if they dont make the 40 after spring.
  9. moonslav59
    Guys like them are added all the time. We could have 2-3 slots without any major losses. If we choose one prospect- maybe Anthony to start for Abreu, we could have 1-2 slots for guys like them. I still think adding a year of control for the top 3 is a priority that make tip the balance on adding a journeyman type like Thompson or Eaton- assuming they keep raking all spring long.
  10. moonslav59
    Winckowski has not looked good, so far, but I'm not sure he's off the 26 just yet,
  11. moonslav59
    I agree, with an emphasis on "right now." There is plenty of time for things to change. We may end up needing both.
  12. moonslav59
    With all the talk of how many, if any, of the big three prospects break camp with the big club (added to the 40 and 26,) it's interesting to see discussion about Thompson and or Eaton being added, instead or maybe with 1 or two. I see two openings by way of adding Murphy and Perales to the 60 Day IL. I doubt Crawford or Bello will need 60 days, now will Yoshida and Abreu. Other DFA candidates might be Sogard. We could DFA Sabol, but would have to have a plan to DFA someone else, if we ever needed to add a catcher, quickly due to an injury to Wong or Narvaez.
  13. moonslav59
    We have two easy 60 Day IL guys, too- Murphy & Perales. No need for DFA's just yet.
  14. moonslav59
    There is still enough time in ST'ing for Priester or Criswell to pass Fitts, but I agree, for now, Fitts should be the guy. soxprospects.com agrees... https://www.soxprospects.com/2025.htm
  15. moonslav59
    If you go with 55, then why not 110?
  16. moonslav59
    If Abreu starts the year on the 10 Day IL, I could see them adding Thompson while they add someone else to the 60 Day IL. (Murphy or Perales?) Maybe DFA Sogard or a pitcher? I was wrong to dismiss Thompson's chances, so quickly. He may still not make it, but maybe he does. I do see two roster slots easily opened with the two pending 60 Day ILs. For all we know, maybe Crawford or Bello ends up on the 60.
  17. moonslav59
    Crochet sets Opening Day deadline for extension talks. Gerrit Cole has been recommended for TJS and will get a second opinion.
  18. moonslav59
    Well, with the impending lock-out, I'm not very optimistic he gets the same deal. I just said "He could." I think he might have a monster year in 2024. That's about the major thing that could make it happen, IMO. I'm not predicting it or saying it is likely..
  19. moonslav59
    Anthony is not on the 40, now. Of course, he can be viewed as competition to win a slot, but unless Thompson wins a slot, hw might end up being a non 40 man roster in AAA. I'm not sure how it works for NRI who don't make it, maybe some other team swoops in and nabs him.
  20. moonslav59
    No and likely won’t be.
  21. moonslav59
    I could see Bregman signing a very similar deal to the Tigers one, this coming winter, and he’d be making more by doing what he did this winter.
  22. moonslav59
    Who is out, besides Bello & Crawford?
  23. moonslav59
    But hey, we got Roland the Headless THOMPSON Gunner, TORO, TORO, TORO and EATON disorders.
  24. moonslav59
    Combined, the three are 19 for 65 (.292) with 8 HRs and 15 XBHs and 22 RBIs.
  25. moonslav59
    Sox have scored in all 8 innings, including crooked numbers in 5 of them.
