    Bobby Dee time!

    This team does have a scrappiness quality to it. I called it heart and soul earlier, this year, and I’m not sure that’s the right words for it, but I will say, there have been many enjoyable things to watch with this team. I know, I know, it’s all due to low expectations, and some think we shout pout and cry and boycott our beloved Sox in hopes of waking up a billionaire and holding him ransom. Chuckle, chuckle. Like that’s gonna work.

    DHam might end up redeeming the JBJ trade, at this rate!

    Most 4-5s are between 4.50 and 5.75
  5. moonslav59
    Yup. The signings are as bad as the budget cuts
  6. moonslav59
    He has looked pretty good on O.
  7. moonslav59
    The highest contracts given out by JH since 2019's Sale. Bogey & Nate extensions: $313M/10 Devers (extension) $140M/6 Story $90M/5 Yoshida (plus $10M fee) $39M/2 Giolito $36M/2 Jansen

    Yes, the dropped catch by Smith sucked, and forced Crawford to throw more pitches and face more batters. The two homers by Schwarber were not on the D, and we'd probably have lost, even without the error. Our O needs to show up to improve our odds.
  9. moonslav59
    Wonder if we put him in AA or where? I think he is still kinda rehabbing.
  10. moonslav59
    You know how ex-Sox players seem to come back and bite us in the ass- like Schwarber, last night? How about Pivetta biting the Phillies ass, tonight?
  11. moonslav59
    Schwarber signed in '22, when we still had JD. Yoshida signed in '23, before we knew Duran was Duran. Now, had we traded JD, and maybe ate some of his salary, signing Schwarber would look better. I wish we had him, now, over Yoshida, but I don't think the comp matches up so smoothly.

    The fans are no better than the players, coaches, managers and owners, especially with all these lofty and unreasonable expectations.
  13. moonslav59
    I think the idea is that Anthony is up in 2025. (I would not trade Abreu for Bichette. We all know there will be a tight budget, again, so $18M on Abreu means that much less spent on pitching. Also, are we so sure he'd be that big RHB we need?
  14. moonslav59
    I think the Jays would take 4 years of Abreu for 1 of Bichette and save millions of dollars in 2025.
  15. moonslav59
    RIP Jerry West- a true great one.
  16. moonslav59
    It's more about the $18M than anything else, but I would not give Abreu for Bichetts plus $8M, either. It's just 1 year of Bichette vs 4 more of Abreu. If we don't spend more in '25, it could be another wasted year, so why add a 1 year guy?
  17. moonslav59
    ,744 from June 29, 2023 to the end of the season. .635 this season. .687 in his last 513 PAs I'm not convinced a turnaround is all that possible. DHam for Bichette plus $10M, yes. We aren't adding $18M for Bichette.
  18. moonslav59
    I think the idea is that some have given up on Grissom at 2B, and Bichette would play there, if and when Story returns.
  19. moonslav59
    The choice made to make the AS game, also does not really mean he was the best player on his team, those years. He was not. It often comes down to position of least overload.
  20. moonslav59
    Bets, yes. Bogey, I'm not so sure. 2017-2022 .855 OPS (126 OPS+) Per 162 gms: .295 24 95 2023-2024: .741 OPS (107 OPS+) .270 18 58 Is this worth $225M/5, let alone what he ended up getting? .811 OPS (124 OPS+) .296 17 66
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed, unless we get a better pitcher (in a package deal) with equal years of control.
  22. moonslav59
    Not at that money.
  23. moonslav59
    Bichette makes $18M, next year. Even if he was worth that, JH ain't paying it. I would not trade DHam for Bichett, and certainly not Abreu. Both is a joke. It would be Brez who hangs up the phone.
  24. moonslav59
    The Phillies may be shopping for a catcher, since Realmutto needs surgery. Thier 5th starter sucks (Walker) and they might want a closer. What could we get from them for Pivetta (reunites w PHI), McGuire and Jansen?
  25. moonslav59
    ...and the anger was more about him not selling. I'm pretty sure we will be sellers, even if we are within 3-5 games of the WC slots.
