    I’m envious! Enjoy!
  2. moonslav59
    I have to admit: I had serious doubts we’d get the W, today.
  3. moonslav59
    That might be the best we can expect!
  4. moonslav59
    Left Maine, today. Back to my tiny corner in Texas. I’m off to Spain and Portugal on Monday, for three weeks. I probably will not be posting as much, so many of you will be happy about that. Go SOX!

    I was really hoping he’d show he was back in the groove. Sadly, he was not.
  6. moonslav59
    One could go back to Pujols
  7. moonslav59
    BTW, I would not call you an apologist. I think you are dead on. I think it is more about this than JH going greedy. What good businessman would continue using a failing plan?
  8. moonslav59
    laa?
  9. moonslav59
    Cue someone calling you an apologist. Maybe that too big a word.
  10. moonslav59
    Lots of teams look for a power bat or a very good backup catcher/decent starting catcher. The return might not be good, but several teams will want those two, if healthy and available.
  11. moonslav59
    Agreed. O’Neill and McGuire would be next on the sell list
  12. moonslav59
    I agree. We might even buy and sell. I doubt anything major happens.
  13. moonslav59
    There is an issue with the 3 OFers you listed. Abreu should never start vs LHPs and maybe Rafaela might be needed or used at SS some days. O’Neill needs to play FT when healthy, and Ref v all lefties at minimum. With so much overloading, maybe we trade an OFer for a P or 2Bman
  14. moonslav59
    Maybe less. At least we could get a laugh seeing you in one. Dalbec makes me cry!
  15. moonslav59
    How long a leash would you give Yoshi to start hitting? A week? Two weeks? Three?
  16. moonslav59
    soxprospects says he has 3 options. I can see the reasoning on not having someone like him on the bench. He'd be a back-up DH, PH'er and emergency LF'er. That is not useful depth. The way our bench has been doing, unless there is an injury, I'm not for weakening it by sending DHam, Romy or Valdez down to accommodate a slot for Yoshi. (I'm assuming Dalbec gets demoted when Abreu is called up.)
  17. moonslav59
    After #6 Cespedes, #7 Fitts and maybe #8 Zanetello, I would not be upset, if we traded Sandlin at #9. I would not trade #10 Campbell for any rental. After 10, I'd be okay.
  18. moonslav59
    Also read Cora has said Yoshi is the FT DH, so that makes it Ref vs others, now- once he is healthy.
  19. moonslav59
    Criswell was cruising through 5 with Woo, when the big club bug bit, and two errors have led to 3 runs in the 6th (so far.) Kavadas has homered twice. Meidroth is o-3 w no BBs- shocking! POR got swept in a DBLHDR by one run, each game. Game 1: Encarnacion let up 8 runs (7ERS) in 1.1 IP. Teel, Jordan & Sikes homered. Anthony 1-3 w BB Mayer 1-3 w BB Teel 2-4 Game2: Wikelman roughed up, again. Mata w 3IP 3H, 0ER, 1BB, 2K Anthony 0-3 w BB Mayer 2-4 Teel 1-2 GRE lost by 1, also. Sandlin 2 IP, 0H, 0ER, 1BB, 4K All of a sudden, SAL is scoring in bunches. Dean: 5IP, 2H, 2ER, 5BB, 6K Brannon 3-5 Anderson, Alcantara & Taylor all w 2 Hits.
  20. moonslav59
    That 7th inning looked like the April Red Sox. Let's hope we don't go down that road, again.
  21. moonslav59
    And all early in the game, leading me to think this might be a 13-9 final score.
  22. moonslav59
    Every good player slumps. I'm not sure why every Devers slump or mini-slump needs to be brought up. It's a natural thing for even the best hitters. As for being the "ugly face," I don't think I'm alone thinking that is a response I "really don't get." With a .901 OPS, I'd wish we'd have 9 ugly faces.
  23. moonslav59
    Ref on the bench vs a RHPs is one thing, but to me, vs a LHP, this is criminal. At least put Rafaela at SS and Ref in the OF, if you insist on playing Yoshida. Okay, I'm done ranting on Yoshi over Ref v LHPs.
  24. moonslav59
    I just hope we don't trade a top 6 or 7 prospect for any 2 month rental, unless an extension is agreed upon.
  25. moonslav59
    Valdez is in a groove. So much fun to watch.
