    I'm not expecting Gio to keep this up, all year, but it is very nice to see his first Sox outing look like this!

    Maybe, if they were asking with the idea that they will play him there, no matter what he answers, I see your point, but it does seem like the best way to approach the situation, after what happened with the DH move. It is likely better than them coming up to him, one day, and saying, here is a 1Bman's mitt: we want you to go out and show us what you can do in practice at 1B. You think that sits better with him (and the team?)

    Devers just hit the .800 mark as April comes to a close. No, I'm not "giddy" or about to say "I told you so," because I had no idea how long his troubles would continue. I did think his hard hit% being so high was a clue that maybe we were too hung up on the low BA and OPS. I hope he's "BACK" for good or "forevers!"

    Monegro went 3.2 IP allowing 5H, 1ER, 0BB and 7Ks in the 3-2 loss by POR. Romero had 2 of the team's 3 hitsn(.944,) while Jh Garcia has one w a BB (.907.)
  5. moonslav59
    Maybe, we should trade for this guy...

    Can we just play all out games in Toronto?
  7. moonslav59
    Yes, especially with no outs.

    I mentioned this over the winter and also suggested that if Casas and Devers shared DH/1B, maybe both could play 80+80 for 160. That could get both a lot more PAs, if it helps them stay healthy. (I'm still assuming Casas will start hitting well, again.)
  9. moonslav59
    A Gio start could turn into a pen game, very quickly. The odds may be close to even on who pitches more innings: YR or LG?
  10. moonslav59
    LOL, I didn't see your post, but you know, I've been talking about it for over a year.

    From the Sox perspective, which is better? $160M/4 with optout after every season or $180M/5 with no opt out (or one after 2 more seasons) What's better for Bregman?

    To me, one big surprise- not the biggest- is the performance by our 3 SP'ers that were slotted around 8th to 12th on the winter rotation depth chart, especially when compared with the combined numbers of the only top 5 depth chart SP'ers who have seen action, this season: 4.18 ERA in 21 GS by Crochet, Houck, Buehler & Bello (118.1 IP- 55 ER) 3.58 ERA in 10 GS by Dobbins, Fitts & Newcomb (50.1 IP- 20 ER)

    Injury updates by MLB.com: May 1st Wong ??? Fitts is throwing 120 ft but not off the mound yet. Cora says he's "feeling better." ??? Yoshida will visit Boston's training staff on May 2nd to discuss trouble progressing with his throwing program. ??? Crawford may start facing live hitters, soon. Sandoval & Murphy on 60 day. Sandoval is throwing 105 ft and Murphy off the mound.

    It's March + April.
  15. moonslav59
    I'm not sure Wong can or will ever hit lefties as well as Romy has, recently. Plus, and interesting factoid: Wong's career splits: .711 v R and .686 v L.
  16. moonslav59
    Career for Judge: .986 MAR/APR .985 July .980 AUG (Those are his only months below 1.000. He is doesn't like cold or hot- just warm.
  17. moonslav59
    The thing about slow starts to a season, if that his OPS his shown on the screen every AB. If a player has a stretch like this in July, his OPS might show at .725, whan maybe it was at .850 the month before. Hardly anybody gets all worried and starts calling for a benching. Plus, some batter are just more streaky than others.
  18. moonslav59
    You can just ask him how he feels about playing 1B. Doing that is not going to shake the clubhouse foundation, if he says no, and the club chooses to not try hi at 1B.
  19. moonslav59
    Great points. So many people seem to think what players do in one month sets who they are for the full season. No matter how many times the results shift wildly for some players, the same is believed the next season. I get the concern over Devers, since the end of last year was bad, but the guy was clearly playing hurt.
  20. moonslav59
    The team doesn't have to know. I get your point, though. If the team believes Devers could/would defense 1B better than Casas (not hard to do,) they should tell not ask him to pick up a glove. I wonder, if they worry about increasing the chances of a new injury or extending the shoulder issue.
  21. moonslav59
    Too bad Fitts is not ready.
  22. moonslav59
    It's likely normal fluctuation of tiny sample sizes.
  23. moonslav59
    I had heard he was really good on D, but I never expected this good. Brez has made some nice deals.
  24. moonslav59
    Our OPS leaders jumped up the rankings, tonight. 7. Bregman .971 10. Abreu .963 13. Campbell .935
  25. moonslav59
    I don't think the seriously considered playing Devers at 1B, except in private meetings and discussions. The "assurance" Bloom gave to Devers about playing 3B may have been a big part of never asking him. (I am assuming they never did.) The Bregman signing and a new GM changed the dynamic, and that was not very long ago on the Bregman addition. The shoulder injury to devers and failure to trade Casas probably made asking him a low priority. Maybe it was brought up when Devers was talking about not wanting to DH. Probably not. If I was the GM, I'd have at least asked about the idea, and if he didn't like it, I would not push it. I think Casas will start hitting, soon, but I have no faith in his defense ever improving. The bar is set so low for Devers to match or exceed, I find it hard imagining him being worse than Casas at 1B. Hie quickness and range at 3B were not really the main issue: it was his erratic arm.
