    I love the SSS current Bloom-Dombro comp.
  2. moonslav59
    That was a total WTH player. He came to the Sox as a 26 year old with a 4 year .738 OPS with 21 HRs & 68 SBs per 650! He never faced another MLB or minor league pitch... not even for the Sox.
  3. moonslav59
    I guess there's a chance he gets it together in his rehab time and earns a second look, but I'd be fine with a straight DFA.
  4. moonslav59
    Agreed, but I'd like Durbin in IKF's role due to less of a budget hit, longer team control and the promise of winning a FT role, at some point. He can't play SS like IKF, but we have Mayer and possibly Arias on the horizon.
  5. moonslav59
    Some thoughtful ideas.
  6. moonslav59
    IL Watson with a hang nail.
  7. moonslav59
    ...or Astros.

    Arias is still blowing everyone away in OPS (1.397) in 35 PAs. Cheng, Delay & Gasper remain over 1.000. Tucker & Opata are over 1.000 for Salem, while Mason White leads GRE with a .918 OPS. Is YRod finally showing the promise was not a lie? (.834 for GRE) As we expected, the farm pitching has been the thing to watch. For WOO, Bennet (0.55 & .337 OPS Against) and Tolle (3.00/.619) have led the way. For POR, Holobetz (1.12/.397 w 23Ks in 16 IP) has gotten attention. Eduardo Rivera continues to get the job done at 0.90/.425. GRE was the rotation to watch, but they've kinda been shown up by Salem, POR and Woo. Eyanson has stood alone (0.73/.338.) Valera is hurt, but he started strongly at 1.93/.441 w 17 Ks in 11.1 IP. SAL saw Futrell (0.00/.191) promoted to GRE, but Dylan Brown has shown brightly, too (3.75/.578.) Ethan Walker has surprised a few (1.69/.504) The FCL season begins May 5th. DSL begins in June.

    Is it time to cut Watson loose? (Maybe invent a reason to go on the IL?)
  10. moonslav59
    He's one of the few getting the job donw, even if with some smoke and mirros. Speaking of smoke, he ticks up the velo for that final K.
  11. moonslav59
    I'm trying to decide if I'm more pessimistic about the Sox than 11 other AL teams.
  12. moonslav59
    It sucks having too many great players.
  13. moonslav59
    True, but still fun to watch.
  14. moonslav59
    I was just wondering who take's Sandoval's slot, and then who takes that guy's slot... Also, if we cut Watson loose, that's another rolling group of promos.
  15. moonslav59
    He may not ever get "out of it."
  16. moonslav59
    Nope- maybe watching Willson, Chapman & Early.
  17. moonslav59
    He's at 21.1%, but that is 8th out of 13. Nobody on the team has more PAs and a lower K%, except Durbin. His BB% in the last 2 years: 2.6>4.8>5.6 (He's more than doubled his 2024 historically lowmark.) We should wait until he stops improving to keep projecting doom & gloom (not you.)
  18. moonslav59
    I'm sure he'll slump, and you'll be right here letting us know. By the end of the year, he will near the league OPS (like last season), and you'll still think he's a failure.
  19. moonslav59
    He will likely never improve enough to be on the plus side of plate discipline and K/BB and eliminate pro-longed slumps, but if he keeps improving, his offense might end up near or above average, while his defense keeps him as a clear asset to the team. Right now, he's one of just 3 Sox players with 50+ PAs over a 100 OPS+. He was at 115 before today.
  20. moonslav59
    For a team playing this poorly, the next stretch of games could be the nail in the heart... or not. 3 v NYY 3 @ BAL 3 @ TOR 3 v HOU 3 @ DET 4 v TBR 3 v PHI 22 tough games after going 9-13 in the first 22.
  21. moonslav59
    Ceddanne 2024>2025>2026 BA: .246>.249>.279 OBP: .274>.295>.362 OPS: .664>.708>.739 K%: 26%>20%>22% BB%: 3%>5%>6% BB/K: 0.10 (historically bad)> 0.24>0.27 (still bad but on the rise)
  22. moonslav59
    He's waiting for another 4.7.
  23. moonslav59
    I'd have been fine with just one from Durbin or IKF, if we got an actual star 2B/3B/SS instead of the other.
  24. moonslav59
    The real Rafaela has consistently improved.
  25. moonslav59
    He's back on the shelf.
