    I think I'm with you, probably at DH assuming Casas sticks at 1B mainly due to his height. We should be building a championship team. This is the year to find out what we have...... CC We need an upgrade. Teel? 1B Casas 2B Grissom (he'll get his chance, we've been told by Brez) SS Mayer 3B open LF Anthony CF Rafaela RF O'Neill DH Devers I'm assuming Anthony is better defender than Duran. We need to find stars.....

    Did I miss something? We all knew what Devers was all about. Everyone here screamed about locking him down. Now it seems many here are having buyers remorse. He is here for ten years. Not sure why we keep talking about his contract. At least he's on the field unlike Sale and Story.

    Going in starting pitching was our concern. To date the group has acquitted themselves well. We are not making the playoffs. For me we need to see our three budding stars later this year. At some point we will move away from Yoshida at DH.

    Obviously you never want anyone to get hurt.... Another non performing contract. Not Henry's fault Bloom signed him. You were never going to get another team friendly contract from Xander. Pass on Xander's new deal.
  5. Nick
    Definite NO to extending him even if he comes back this year.
  6. Nick
    Good find....thx

    I think the 'odd' I mentioned is having 5 right handed throwers bat left handed. Not one switch hitter among them. Without looking I bet you $100 that no other team has 8 or more left handed bats and 5 of them throws right handed and not one of them is switch hitter.

    Impressive. Let's hope they stay healthy.
  9. Nick
    Trout with another meaningless home run. JK
  10. Nick
    Anderson looking to go another 3 inning finish? Good addition.
  11. Nick
    We have 8 left handed hitting lineup for today's game. I've never seen it. Interestingly, 5 of 8 throws right handed, Casas, Valdez, Hamilton, Duran and McGuire. Odd.
  12. Nick
    Verdugo hitting .466 OPS for the Yankees. I like what we got in return.

    I think long term, we're better off playing Devers as DH and moving Yoshida to another team. Pay $10M of his contract. He looks more and more like singles hitting DH. Maybe playing in Fenway 81 games will help with his power game. More and more looks to me like another overpay by Bloom. So we now have non performing contracts in Sale, Story, Giolito and Hendriks. $64M on the shelf. This is why John Henry hates baseball. It maybe part of the game but you still don't like it. If I'm JH, I would insist on insurance for any contracts over $10M. Big mistake not having one on Giolito.

    8 Left handed hitters in the lineup.....has this happened before?
  15. Nick
    My guess is Story will miss significant time, even rest of the year. That said... The question becomes which position defensively is more important? Center field or shortstop. I would say shortstop. Thus, I would prefer Rafaela (ss)/Duran (cf) combo over Reyes (ss)/ Rafaela combination. You can insert Hamilton/Valdez/Grissom at short but Rafaela/Duran combo trumps over anything else. I'd much rather have say Abreu/Refsnyder offense over Hamilton any day. (By moving Rafaela to short, Abreu/Refsnyder will need to fill in for open outfield spot.)
  16. Nick
    O Neill had been excellent addition. It's all about staying healthy for him. Duran O'Neill and Rafaela should be much improved defensively compared to 2023 group.
  17. Nick
    Our relievers disguised as starters are doing just fine. Just because experts on this board proclaim they are relievers does not make it so. I will trust Brez over experts here. At some point we had to find out what we had in our five starters.
  18. Nick
    Brez is committed to youth movement and developing players we have. I am in favor of it. And many of you wanted to send down Rafaela for more seasoning. This site loses much credibility with stupid suggestions. Speaking of asinine can we quit making trades based on whatever stupid plateform many of you use? Give me one trade suggested using that platform that has ever come to fruition.
  19. Nick
    Think of insane $$ we spent on Moncada. DD was confident enough about Devers and thus made the trade for Sale. Great trade. Kopech was thought to be the big loss but like many prospects he did not reach stardom.
  20. Nick
    1 BB in 28 innings blows my mind.....
  21. Nick
    Speaking of defense....I'm beginning to think we need to move from Devers at 3B. Let him just DH. So we need a plus defender that can match Yoshida in offensive output. We're looking for Devers+Yoshida = Devers (DH) + 3B with better glove I really don't see any 3B on our top 30 prospect list. I wonder if Grissom can move to 3B. His bat to ball skill maybe comparable to that of Yoshida. That's assuming Grissom can become better defender than Devers. What about Mayer moving to 3B?
  22. Nick
    Basically we have $48M to replace Nick Pivetta's spot in the rotation for 2025. (Gone are Sale, Jansen, Martin and Pivetta's contracts) In theory we have Giolito to replace him. His pay for 2025 is baked in. But he may not be ready on April 2025. We lose Jansen and Martin but Hendriks should take one of the spots. His $5M pay for 2025 is also baked in. Tanner, Reyes, Kutter, Dalbec and Duran will be arbitration eligible for the first time. Kutter and Tanner maybe or should be extended. Cot is showing we have about $110M under the $240M luxury tax for 2025; $90M if we stick to $220M budget. O'Neill will also be FA, we are paying him $5.85M. Looking more and more like we overpaid for Yoshida. We are paying a DH $18M with no power. Good job by Bloom. We really do piss away money. Pay Mookie type $35M and flank him with 2 rookies. We tend to over pay on 'cheap suits' and regret wearing it everytime. I think future is looking up though. This rotation just needs to stay healthy.
  23. Nick
    These guys should be in their prime. 25 Bello (7 yrs) 28 Kutter (5 yrs) 28 Whitlock (5 yrs) 28 Houck (4 years) 31 Pivetta (1 year) They have shown they can be decent. Would you trade Pivetta if we are out of it in July and we can't extend him?
  24. Nick
    Can't worry about one game. Managers plays the % and that can go wrong. But the Cora's love affair with Kike was ridiculous.
  25. Nick
    $41M I have fat fingers....
