    Bloom selected him in minor league rule 5 in’23.

    Could very well be, but I’m enjoying this season, regardless! I was liking a lot of what I was seeing while we were fluttering around .500 for weeks and weeks. We have several exciting players and some surprises. We’ve had some let downs and key injuries, but to me, the good has outweighed the bad, especially the last few weeks.

    For an off season with budget cutting and just one major trade, here is a look at Brez’s additions to the team and farm: (Note, nota complete list) O’Neill Slaten Criswell Weissert Romy G Anderson & Keller I Campbell Booser, Horn & Uwasawa Smith & Cooper (gone) Westbrook Grissom Hendriks Giolito & Fulmer 7.

    Two teams are needed for every trade, and one team might want to wait it out for a desperate team to offer more.
  5. moonslav59
    Lugo and Arias might earn honourable mention, for position player break out half seasons. Who ate your pitcher break outs? Perales, Penrose and Early?

    The “other prospect” with DHam in the JBJ for Renfroe trade. With the one year additions of Duvall then O’Neill, losing Renfroe seems diminished over time. Of course the JBJ addition, errr I mean subtraction hurt that season and the budget, but DHam is helping right a trade that looked god-awful just months ago. The Beni for Wink trade looks better, now, too.

    Sox are 4 down in the loss column to the Yanks, now. Thanks, Cincy! With some games still pending, the Sox are currently 9th in win% in all of MLB. Is it okay to have fun watching these Sox, now?

    A strong Pivetta would make a huge difference for the Sox going forward. The Sox record when he pitches, career: 48-46

    Sweet win, although made harder than it should have been. In recent years, we lost most games like these. Keep it rolling!
  10. moonslav59
    Valdez has played much better after the call up. It’s a tough call. BTW, happy 4th to all!
  11. moonslav59
    I have noticed that, along with more runners going for it.
  12. moonslav59
    In theory, Hamilton plus Meidroth would bring back a better SS than what each of those two alone are worth.
  13. moonslav59
    We’ve seen enough high picks fail for me to disagree, some. Good points, though.
  14. moonslav59
    That was understood. Perhaps, even if he looks healthy, the injury risk is prohibative. I’m not seeing many great options for pitchers that can help but not cost a too 8-9 prospect.
  15. moonslav59
    Dean threw no hit ball in his 5 IP, 2 BB and 1 ER.
  16. moonslav59
    Alvarez went 5-5 and Kavadas 3-4 in the Woo loss. Booster got shelled. KCampell went 3-4 and Binelas hit a granny in the POR win.
  17. moonslav59
    As time goes by, the Theo and Ben influence on today’s team will be almost gone and DD’s, less and less. I think the amount of DD prospects helping this team surprised a few of us, and despite the long gap with little to no farm help under his time, here, it’s hard to not appreciate his mark on this team. Brez & Bailey have already made a significant mark on this team, in less than a year, but a big chunk of this year’s top performers and prospects are from the Bloom era. That’s not to say all is or should be forgotten about his 4 year reign. 3 of those years sucked, badly, but his task was mostly to rebuild the farm and hope for a better longer term outlook than we had in 2020, and he seems to have done okay as the floor with a ceiling that looks better now than it did 3 months ago.
  18. moonslav59
    What do you see in the Rays that convinces you they have more talent?
  19. moonslav59
    Maybe Bello can springboard off this game.
  20. moonslav59
    No doubt. I do think top brass wanted Bloom to sell on at least one deadline, and were unhappy when he did not. Perhaps by the time Bloom figured it out, he had already been shown the door. I will add, if Bloom’s young additions and prospects do well, we may thank him, here and there, between the bitching and bashing.
  21. moonslav59
    True but he is no rookie.
  22. moonslav59
    Yup. The trick is guessing right more often than not. There is a ton of luck involved, but certainly some GMs are better than others pretty consistently.
  23. moonslav59
    Agreed. It won’t take a top 7-8 prospect to get real talent. I hope we are buyers, and on 2+ pitchers!
  24. moonslav59
    Apparently, one reason he fired Bloom was for not selling. Yea, insisting on selling was a poor choice of words.
  25. moonslav59
    Of course. Nobody wants a team to sell, because it means they suck or are at best near mediocrity. Only when that happens are some of us looking at selling as a possible better option than doing nothing or wasting the future on futile buying sprees.
