My personal rules should not be imposed on other posters but ... 1. Emphasize ideas by avoiding use of "I" and "you" in a post. 2. Make an exception to pay another poster a compliment. 3. Avoid sarcasm 4. Be kind.

FWIW this year Trea Turner has twice as many home runs as Xander Bogaerts. ZiPS projects Turner with 5.5 WAR with 28 home runs in 2023 and 5.1 WAR with 28 home runs in 2024 while projecting Bogaerts with 4.5 WAR with 26 home runs in 2023 and 4.4 WAR with 26 home runs in 2024: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/trea-turner/16252/stats?position=SS#zips-3-year-projections https://www.fangraphs.com/players/xander-bogaerts/12161/stats?position=SS#zips-3-year-projections

Thank you for the book recommendation.

FWIW at the trade deadline the Seattle Mariners prioritized catcher defense with a trade for veteran Curt Casali (who as a Cincinnati backup had caught 27 starts of newly acquired Seattle righthander Luis Castillo). When Casali came off the IL Thursday, the Mariners designated for assignment reserve catcher Luis Torrens, who two days earlier had delivered the game-winning hit in a 13-inning 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees: Torrens was out of options. Seattle's starting catcher, 25-year-old Cal Raleigh, is highly ranked defensively while carrying a wRC+ of 109: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=20&type=1&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31

Let's not forget that righthander Hansel Robles made 57 relief appearances for the 2015 New York Mets: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robleha01.shtml

Veteran reliever Jeurys Familia to the rescue:

The Red Sox postseason odds are 16.9 percent at FanGraphs, 14 percent at FiveThirtyEight and 3.2 percent at Baseball Prospectus. It's an uphill climb. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-mlb-predictions/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2022.shtml

Most overrated member of the 500 HR club?
harmony replied to Northern Star's topic in Other Baseball
Harmon Killebrew had a career OPS+ of 143 and 573 home runs in 2,435 games while David Ortiz had a career OPS+ of 141 and 541 home runs in 2,408 games. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/killeha01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/ortizda01.shtml Killebrew and Ortiz played in different eras. -
The same day this poster witnessed Aaron Judge homer in another Yankee loss. Exciting game.

Despite production and projections, Baseball Trade Values still gives Jarred Duran ($13.5 million) far more surplus trade value than Seattle outfielder Taylor Trammell ($4.1 million) in a comp of lefthanded 6-foot-2, 212-pound center fielders who may be better suited for a corner. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jarren-duran/24617/stats?position=OF https://www.fangraphs.com/players/taylor-trammell/19960/stats?position=OF This year Duran, who is a year older than Trammell, may pass Trammell in MLB service time.

Rafael Devers will likely continue to bat from the left side.

Last year as a 22-year-old MJ Melendez led all minor leaguers with 41 home runs between Double A and Triple A: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=melend000mj- Melendez has a bright future.

Is this it?

Which Valdéz? Philips Valdez is now in the Seattle Mariner organization.

Chaim Bloom was a solid hire who was given the benefit of the doubt until this trade deadline rolled around. The trade deadline may have been the tipping point that imperils Bloom's Red Sox tenure. Or not.

The prospects who came in the Jackie Bradley Jr. trade were Alex Binelas, a 22-year-old corner infielder who this year has posted a wRC+ of 66 at Double A and 125 at High A, and David Hamilton, a 24-year-old infielder who this year has posted a wRC+ of 89 at Double A: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/alexander-binelas/sa3017044/stats?position=1B/3B https://www.fangraphs.com/players/david-hamilton/sa3014434/stats?position=2B/SS

What teams would be suitors for Nathan Eovaldi's services? Is Eovaldi too expensive for a return to Tampa Bay? Minnesota? Philadelphia? Could Eovaldi get a second chance with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the franchise that drafted the righthander in 2008?

Chaim Bloom comes through big time today. IMHO

For years a Seattle broadcaster and two lesser Mariners would tour the Pacific Northwest in January on the Mariner Caravan. At one stop I got to see up close Daniel Vogelbach, whom I found funny and self-deprecating. Vogelbach will always be remembered as the Chris Farley lookalike when Mariner rookies were hazed in 2016: https://www.tmz.com/2016/09/29/seattle-mariners-rookie-gets-chris-farley-treatment/

FWIW Triston Casas homered Sunday for Worcester: https://www.milb.com/gameday/red-sox-vs-bisons/2022/07/31/666332#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=666332

Could you two take your spat outside? You're ruining the ambiance of this joint.

Six of Seattle's next 10 games are against the New York Yankees but the remaining schedule is considered soft. I hope Julio Rodriguez will return in time to face the Yankees in an August 10 afternoon game I plan to attend in Seattle.
