    Montas to MIL- no miss there.
  2. moonslav59
    it's not about my expectations. I no longer have any for Sox management. I called out Brez, specifically on the Fedde miss, but it might be on JH for refusing even $7.5M for 2025 on his deal. The FO is a sham, and I expect nothing. I will continue believing this, if and until they give me reason to stop. I have, however, not lost hope a change might come.

    Didn't realize it?

    All these runs and no BBs.

    Can Yoshida do enough to get out of our doghouse?
  7. moonslav59
    I would look for a right hand bat guy that can play corner infield and DH. Surely there's someone out there that fits the mode. Only Aaron Judge had a better OF OPS v LHPs than O'Neill, so maybe we just need to extend or re-sign him and trade Abreu in a package for pitching. We have LHB Anthony and RHB Campbell and Lugo who can play LF in 2025 or 2026 for the Sox. 2025 OF>> LF: L Duran, R Refsnyder/Campbell/Lugo CF: R Rafaela, L Anthony/Duran RF: R O'Neill, L Anthony, R Refsnyder DH: L Yoshida/ R Refnsyder> Campbell/Lugo Note: this does not mean I dislike Abreu or appreciate him any less than anyone else. I really like him, a lot. I just think he is the best trade chip we can afford to lose and replace with pretty highly regarded players. Ref is great vs LHPs, now. Campbell or Lugo can be by 2026.
  8. moonslav59
    We do have Ref, but a good RF'er with a RHB would be nice to take O'Neill's place in '25.

    Me neither, buy sp's has this... Run: Below-average speed. Good instincts, but not a burner. Will play faster than his foot speed because of how he reads the game. Field: Instinctual defender with very fluid actions. Looks like he is gliding on the field. Soft hands and solid footwork. Moves well and has plenty of range for shortstop. Confident defender; will take a flashy infield. Potential plus defender at short.
  10. moonslav59
    The list gets shorter, but then again, maybe the buyer list is shortening, too.
  11. moonslav59
    Maybe Fedde is not as good as his numbers look, but he is not expensive and throws innings. Flaherty and Taillon have another year of control, so if we get one of them, the Fedde "miss" would be okay, but the looks bad for Brez.
  12. moonslav59
    It certainly did not look like an overpay by the Cards to get Fedde, who has another year of control at just$7.5M. They added Pham and gave up just Edman for both.
  13. moonslav59
    This has not been buying. Tailllon or Flaherty, yes. Fairbanks or the like, yes.
  14. moonslav59
    We need a game thread started. I’m like 2-10 on the year, so not me.
  15. moonslav59
    It shows they must be walked more than the others. It is a somewhat related topic.
  16. moonslav59
    They are 5th and 7th in OBP w RISP.
  17. moonslav59
    I do t know anyone. I doubt there is a RHB RFer just like Abreu. Maybe a little better but 2-3 years not 4. Maybe better hitter but worse on D or vice Versa. Maybe better but more expensive. This is a task for notin.
  18. moonslav59
    I agree 100%, but you did not answer the Q.
  19. moonslav59
    Teams have 8 man pens and we have zero we can count on. The holy crap is that we need more than 4!
  20. moonslav59
    We need one solid RPer and two like some of those already traded. BRW, Estevez was the prize RPer.
  21. moonslav59
    Maybe Fitts or Sandlin Valdez Meidroth Lugo or Castro Probably more I would not trade Abreu for a rental.
  22. moonslav59
    Judas Priest!!!
  23. moonslav59
    Someone used those exact words multiple times (maybe Max?) Others have used less forceful words. Maybe that term has not been beaten to death, but all together, the amount of attacking on the deal as making "no sense" is just as lengthy as the defense of the deal making "SOME sense," at the time.
  24. moonslav59
    This is what I would do: Put Pivetta in the BP. Keep Criswell in the rotation. Pivetta in the BP can be formidable and pitch up to three four innings every so often and that would rest the tired BP. I would not trade Abreu as he is quite young and could be a diamond in the rough. He could blossomed just like Duran has. I'd like to see Criswell stay in the rotation, too, even if it means a 6 man rotation. I am not giving up on Abreu by saying we should trade him. I love the guy. Why would you not want an exact replica of Abreu, but one who bats RH'd? Same years of control. Same upside potential. Same skills on O and D. Just someone with the same L-R splits, but in reverse.

    The trade made "some sense." What has been beaten to death is the mantra that it made "absolutely no sense," that "Brez is an idiot," and that a half season of decent pitching by Sale in 2023 was supposed to prove he was going to be great in 2024. While some of Grissom's value was speculative, many felt he'd be at worst an average defender at 2B, which alone, would have been a great improvement over 2020-2023's 2B play. His offense was projected to be and already had been better (.746 w ATL) than out team OPS at 2B from 2019-2023 (.697) That does make some sense, right?
