I could see 1-7 and 8-20 or so. I included Fitts due to our shortage of healthy farm arm prospects. I’d trade Fitts and a couple 9-30 guys for a pitcher, even a very good rental. I would not trade 1-7 for any rental.

Look at the list. Big gap after KCampbell and Perales.

Out of the top 270 MLB players by PA, .678 marks the top of the bottom 1/3 OPS (bottom 90 players.) .650 is the 204th player out of 270. That is right at the bottom 25% line. I’d say the new Mendoza line might be below .650, today. Bogey, at .581 is about at the bottom 10% line, as of now. It looks like we did well not to extend Bogey at over $200M/ 7 or 8, let alone near what SDP paid!
-
Rafaela is dangerously close to the .700 mark! Is .650 the new Mendoza line?
-
Does a single person actually believe Grissom’s sample size is big enough to know what kind of player he will end up being? I realize that the 2023-2024 sample size is somewhat significant, but even so, nobody knows how good or bad he will be. Granted, I am more concerned than I was in February, but the way DHam and Romy are playing, it is less of an issue.

Woke up to an impressive box score. Are we all having fun, yet? -
I’m more worried about HOU than KCR and maybe even NYY. We have yet to play them, and those may be make or break series for both teams.
-
I dont think anyone said he was a sure bet, but 2B has been ranked 29-30th in many categories for3-4 years. Certainly, trying to fix the problem with a guy who had more hope than anyone else on the team made some sense. Let’s see how he does in the next 5 years.
-
Reverse jinx!!!
-
He’s as much a break out as Meidroth.
-
We may swap a lefty bat for a righty one, but so seriously doubt we trade even a top 9-20 prospect for offense. We need SP help way, way, WAY more than anything else. Our best pitchers are already nearing or passing their career high IP totals, and we are not even half way through July! IMO, we won’t trade a top 8 prospect and may not trade a 9-20, either.
-
I doubt we sign Gio had we kept Sale, and JH refused to adjust the budget after Gio’s injury. Here is my take on our SPer depth for2024| 1. Gioliti IL 2. Bello 3. Crawford 4. Whitlock IL 5. Pivetta 6. Houck 7. Criswell (rehab) 8. Winckowski 9. Mate (rehab) 10. Murphy IL, Walter IL, Anderson Gambrell, Alexander,Fitts, Hagenman
-
Let’s just concentrate on a decent SPer, and kick the tires on longer controlled ones, first. Worst case: we can get a decent SPer for a couple prospects ranked below 9 or 10th.
-
How the hell did he age that quickly?
-
Signing Giolito was Hiroshima. Trading Sale was Nagasaki
-
It’s hard to tell, and I know that sounds like a cop out. He looks great, at times, then makes an easy play look hard. I think the good to great plays far outnumber the bad ones, but the metrics don’t support that view. He’s such a great CFer, I’m not sure why we should give him a long look at SS, unless it’s an emergency, like now.

OPS Against last 4 weeks; .421 Martin, back on the IL .481 Jansen, rumours of being over the hill were false .494Criswell, ready to return to rotation .503 Kelly, a pleasant surprise .558 Booser, the feel good story .569 Slaten, despite a melt down game .654 Crawford, now our hot starter .670 Horn, for real? .696 Keller, decent depth inAAA .727 Wink, despite bad last start .747 Houck with one bad start .759 Anderson, ok until last game .833 Pivetta, needs to get consistent .865 Bello, cannot string together multiple good starts .908 Weissert and .949 Bernardino, hopefully can turn it around
-
Last4 weeks OPS 1.059 Devers, yes forevers! .933 Rafaela, yes, he can hit! .907 O’Neill, yes, April was no fool. .906 Romy, yes, yes, yes! .894 Valdez, yes he should stay over VG! .878 Duran, yes, this is who he is! .706 Wong, yes, he’s a keeper! .693 Refsnyder, yes, he should start vs every LHP. .653 Smith, yes 653 is oodles better than Dalbec/Cooper. .611 DHam, yes the 10 SB helps. .591 Yoshida, yes he’s over .800 last 11 games. .519 McGuire, yes, he needs to heat up. .468 Abreu, yes, he is streaky.

7/7 Sox @ Yankee Stadium, 7:05
moonslav59 replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Wish I saw this game. Huge win and great effort from Crawford. Are Devers’ solo homers still bothering some? Does this team have heart and soul or what? Are others having FUN, yet? -
Oddly enough, our middle IF of DHam, Valdez and Romy does not need a wild gamble on Meidroth, who is not a good defensive SS. The Sox scouts loved Yoshida. He will get a long look, as in beyond the deadline. His .803 OPS over his last 11 games, including the Sox biggest hit of the season has insured that, IMO, deserving or not. I am 100% on board with adding a SPer, but giving up a big chunk of the future for a rental is not a good idea. It is rare and costly to get a longer controlled pitcher, at the deadline, but I’d bite the bullet for both the 2024 season AND beyond. Trade some of our glorified everyday player farm for a solid SPer with 2.5+ years of team control. If possible flip a LHd hitter for a RHd one.
-
On the surface, I would say Romy, but he seems to be the back up 1Bman, and might be seeing more and more time there over Smith. The Casas return is a few weeks away, at best. No way DHam is demoted, so it might have to be Valdez, despite him being the best hitter out of all 4 middle infielders since June 1st.
-
Criswell went 6 yesterday allowing just 1 hit and no BB. 8 Ks. Looks like he is ready to rejoin the rotation.
-
Why not?
-
Nate didn’t start in 2018? Huh?
-
No doubt, although even when pitching over the last 4 years, he rarely looked like vintage Sale.
