    Nothing has changed, since then. Some teams still need an OF'er. We still need a 2B/3Bman. Maybe a 3rd team will be needed.
  2. moonslav59
    That was one reason I still liked getting E Suarez. We could still trade Duran for Paredes and King and have this: R Paredes L Anthony R Contreras R Suarez DH L Abreu R Story L Mayer R Narvaez R Rafaela
  3. moonslav59
    A guy like Matt Shaw and his 4 years of control looks a lot better than 1 year of Hoerner, to me.
  4. moonslav59
    We still have the same issue with our 5 slot with Duran or not. I happen to like Paredes on O more than Duran. The 2 years to 3 is what makes me want King, too. It's a sideways move on O, but balances the logjam and balances the roster.
  5. moonslav59
    I really thought Marte would put us top 3-4, and that was before we added Suarez. I still do. I might even offer more that for Marte- like adding Valera or Romero. Not sure that does it. They probably want Tolle, Early and Harrison... maybe Romy, too.
  6. moonslav59
    He wouldn't, and I'm for trading Duran or Abreu for someone like Paredes (plus King,) so he's a top 4 line-up guy. Does this cure the "roster imbalance?" 1. L Anthony LF/RF 2. R Contreras 1B 3. L Abreu RF or L Duran LF 4. R Paredes 3B 5. R Story SS (Of course I'd prefer Duran or Abreu here, but the RHB Paredes add doesn't change this slot.) 6. L Masa/Casas DH or R Romy/Campbell DH 7. R Narvaez C 8. L Mayer 3B/ R Romy 3B 9. R Rafaela C Add LHP B King to the pen.
  7. moonslav59
    I'd prefer that, too. Masa is a separate issue.
  8. moonslav59
    And it can be instantly fixed with an OF'er for Paredes + BKing trade.
  9. moonslav59
    1. Yes. 2. No, if we do #1. The farm is more than fine. The lack of everyday top prospects is not a major concern, since almost all our 13 players on the 26 are under team control for 3+ years.... many for 5-9. If anything, our pitching is logjammed.
  10. moonslav59
    All the more reason to trade him. No way am I DH'ing Abreu or Rafaela, so Duran can run around misjudging fly balls. I also think Anthony is much better on defense.
  11. moonslav59
    I wanted ES more than most and more after Alonso signed than right before he signed with SEA. I disliked his defense but think the need for a power RHB was and still is too high to not want him. Plus, he was the last big bat standing. If he could hit .790 with 30+ bombs, I could handle his defense for one year and 140+ games. (Hell, if Contreras gets hurt he might have played there, instead. If Mayer & Romy do great, maybe we could have DH'd him more.
  12. moonslav59
    This is why I think we will do something significant, but not likely big enough to satisfy Drew and Fred. (Maybe not me, either.)
  13. moonslav59
    Rafaela is my favorite Sox player, and I even have suggested trading him, so as not to hurt the offense. I think we agree more than not. I'd prefer not trading Bello, Tolle or Early for a decent infielder, and trading anyone less valuable will likely not get a guy we really think will give us a big boost. Crawford + DHam? Harrison or Oviedo or Sandoval + Mullins? Is that enough?
  14. moonslav59
    No way anyone wants to trade Duran for lower return. I think notin is the only one suggesting prospects be a part of the return value.
  15. moonslav59
    We disagree on who is in the smaller pool. To me, the Astros are desperate for an OF'er by as much as we are for a 3B/2Bman. Paredes has less yrs and a higher AAV than Duran, Abreu and Rafaela. Why are we the ones needing to cave and get lower value back?
  16. moonslav59
    Which is a better offense? DH Duran 3B Mayer/Romy 2B DHam/Romy or DH Masa/Casas/Romy 3B Paredes/Shaw 2B Mayer/Romy
  17. moonslav59
    A fine example he set when he got suspended for inappropriate comments on the field and missing games in TOR due to not being "entirely selfless." I want Duran on the team. I don't want DHam playing a major role in 2026. There are ways to do both.
  18. moonslav59
    Again, I would not be happy watching Suarez at 3B on D, but he played over 150 games there in 2025. Suarez is gone. We can and should do better. Let's move on.
  19. moonslav59
    I like Duran more, too. Plus, his speed has value not shown in OPS. I'd prefer Duran in the line-up but we need a 3B/2Bman more. The gain made from DHam to whoever we get for Duran is much greater than the loss from Duran to Masa/Casas/Romy/Campbell at DH.
  20. moonslav59
    Two teams have an extra FT infielder and we have an extra FT OF'er. We need an infielder and both teams could use an OF'er. (HOU really needs one badly) A trade seems logical, to me, assuming they can agree on return valus.
  21. moonslav59
    Anyone do Duran for Matt Shaw? BTV has em about even. How about Duran, Bello & Masa +$8M out of $36M owed for Shaw and Suzuki?
  22. moonslav59
    Not for pennies.
  23. moonslav59
    This is no joke: that cat thought she was a dog. She was raised with one. Used the dog door and went to the bathroom outside. No cat litter box needed. She'd walk around the block with us and the dog, and the birds would see her and start screeching, they'd flock from miles around and form a gauntlet down the street and some would swoop down on her and peck her head. She had scabs on her ears from the attacks. My wife bought a super-soaker squirt gun to shoot at the birds swooping our cat. I could go on an on...
  24. moonslav59
    I think it has to be Abreu for Paredes+, but the theory is the same. I'd prefer Duran for IP and BKing over Abreu for IP and Sousa
  25. moonslav59
    That could work, but KC will not used as UT. He'll play everyday in AAA or have a significant role at the MLB level. Sub Cora's binky, DHam, for KC and that could be a cheap way out of it for JH.
