    We had the worst D ever until May, but things have changed. Taem D: We are currently 24 in team OAA (-12) 25th in UZR/150 at -2.1 11th in DRS (+26) amazingly I'd say bottom 10 covers it, especially after May. (Besides, are pitching could be said to be top 6-8 not top 10. Speaking of shifting and malleable stats. Sox before May 15 and after... Before May 15th 14th in runs scored and 12th in OPS 2nd in runs allowed (including unERs) and 1st in ERA May 15>>> 4th in runs scored and 3rd in team OPS (.001 from 2nd) 27th in runs allowed (21st in ERs allowed) and 21st in ERA fangraphs does not allow a fielding breakdown by dates, but we allowed 33 UNErs in the first 43 games and 33 UNERs in the last 59 games, so it has improved.

    We are top 10 on O, top 10 in pitching, bottom 10 on defense and top 10 on baserunning. Why cant we be a playoff team?
  3. moonslav59
    Criswell has the 79th best ERA in MLB among starters with 60+ IP. That's pretty damn good for an 8th starter, but yes, not a "stopper."

    Being streaky always gets under many posters' skin. I get it. To me, being streaky helps as much as it hurts, and it all evens out in the long run. Here is one breakdown of Tyler's 2024 streakfest: 1.045 first 108 PAs .515 next 64 PAs (right before IL stint) 1.215 in 38 PAs after IL stint .847 last 102 PAs or 1.045 first 108 .515 next 64 .947 since June 5th He's really just had one really bad, somewhat long stretch. Our GMs have done pretty well with their one and done power OF bat winter additions: .891 O'Neill, so far in 2024 (312 PAs is 4th on the Sox) .834 Duvall in 2023 (353 PAs- kinda hurt not being 550.) (2022 was a disaster with JBJ .578/Kike.629) .816 Renfroe in 2021 (572 PAs w 31 Hrs and 96 rbi) .795 Pillar in 2020 (126 PAs before being traded)

    Or trade Valdez, promote Campbell to AAA and every other 2Bman down the line. Reimer to Salem.

    Indeed, and that is why I said I hope not I think. Two words with very different meanings. Here is an interesting point about the last 5 games: 1-4 record Outscored just 29 to 27.

    Wow! You actually got one age right. You are improving, and that's a fact!

    Good to see the O come to life. Ref almost had 3 hits, so far. O'Neill is a beast. I hope he has finally silenced his critics. Good to see Devers show some life. Criswell gets the top award, so far. Hope he can go long and save the pen.
  17. moonslav59
    Riemer went 3-5 in a loss (.978.) Anderson HR'd and walked in the ongoing SAL game. Arias 1-2.
  18. moonslav59
    Not many trades are being done, now, and we are just a week from the deadline. Teams are waiting for desperation to overflow.
  19. moonslav59
    Abreu & 1-2 from Jordan/Paulino/Castro/Valdez for Fedde Yorke & Lugo plus 1-2 from Jordan/Paulino/Castro/Valdez for a RP (Tanner Scott?)
  20. moonslav59
    If we are to be buyers, I'd try... Abreu + Valdez> SP3/4 Meidroth + Paulino> RP Yorke + Lugo and Castro> RP + RHB
  21. moonslav59
    Fedde is even better than I expected, but I'd do it, since Fedde has another year of control. 5 years for 1.3 seems like a big hit on the future, but we need pitching and have OF depth. We have to give to get, so I'd give Abreu plus Paulino or Castro for Fedde.
  22. moonslav59
    We were both pretty close on our projections, but a team with a top 6-8 pitching staff, a top 8-12 line-up and about the 25th best defense, should be better than a tad over .500. True, the pitching no longer looks top 8 or even 10-14, and with Slaten & Martin out, we may not be top 20, so I get your point. Things can change to the good, though. Houck and Crawford could return to form. Pivetta could have one of his 10 good start streaks. Maybe Bello find his 2023 groove. Without adding to the pen, I can't see us turning it around.
  23. moonslav59
    He has the value, with 5 years of control to get a 4/5 SP'er with 1.3+ years of control or a decent RP with 2.3+ years of control, IMO. No, he will not bring back anything super. We could also add a #10-30 prospect or two to improve on the return.
  24. moonslav59
    Ummm, Duran is better. Rafaela is better on D and bats RH'd Refsnyder bats RH'd and is one of our best hitters. We have Anthony LHB and Campbell RHB for the future (to replace O'Neill). L-R Splits v RHP .919 Duran .815 Abreu .790 Ref .766 O'Neill .683 Rafaela v LHPs 1.076 O'Neill .898 Ref .732 Rafaela .694 Duran .449 Abreu Abreu is a strongside platoon with the 4th best OF OPS on the team: .870 O'Neill .847 Duran .839 Refsnyder .798 Abreu .696 Rafaela (Best OF defender and RHB)
  25. moonslav59
    Brad Keller, Trey Wingenter and Alex Speas are all on the 40. We could add any of these to the 40, if we wanted to call them up: Zach Penrod .593 OPSA (AA/AAA) Lucas Luetge .630 in 36 IP AAA Ryan Zeferjahn .634 in AA/AAA Chase Shugart .685 in AAA 50 IP Jason Alexander .719 at AAA- most IP on the farm Luis Guerrero .716 Grant Gambrell .741
