  1. Arroyo on IL. What the hell is wrong with this guy?
  2. But if someone was to tell me I am getting a ticket for a Sox game, and if I have my option of dates, it would NOT be on the date Kluber is pitching. Ok enough of my whinning.
  3. I expect our WINDOW to be wide open for the 5th title next year. Right Moon?
  4. Yep....but I expect better option next year based on the fact that we are closer to competing for the ring.
  5. I must be in the minority but I just don't get excited for a Kluber start. I am very interested in watching Houck today. I'm looking for improvements. I think he has the moxy to go 7 innings and also shut down the opponent. I don't see that from Kluber. Houck, Whitlock and Bello are developing. Kluber is just holding on. I hate this type of signing by Bloom. I get it. Kluber is just a place holder.
  6. He would've been entertaining last on a team with no pop.
  7. Walking Verdugo knowing 2nd base will be stolen seemed like gamble to me with #3 hitter coming up.
  8. I hear Turner is 2nd half guy. I really have not been impressed with him. Talks better game.
  9. He throws strike. Unlike Brasier and Ort.
  10. I'm sorry but Kluber does nothing for me.
  11. Is this the same German that we gave back to the Yankees? He started for the Yankees going 5 innings and 80 pitches vs the Rays. Giving up only 2 runs. I guess Bloom thought Brazier and Ort had bigger upside.
  12. When current roster is made up entirely of 'corevgroup' then I know we"ve attived. Not there yet but we're getting close. I also get it that there will always be short term deals. I call them place holders.
  13. When current roster is made up entirely of 'core group' then I know we've arrived. Not there yet but we're getting close. I also get it that there will always be short term deals. I call them place holders.
  14. Whenever I speak of 'core" group I am thinking long term/team control. Story will come back in 2024. Kike maybe at 2B/SS in 2023 but I don't see it long term. Otherwise Bloom would have given him more tham one year. I expect him to be gone and playing elsewhere in 2024. We can use his money elsewhere. If nothing else we know that Chang is better defensively at short. I do want to see Mondesi play short this year. Of course I will be rooting for Kike.
  15. I was really down on Wink. The bottom line is that we are beginning to see the core group develop in terms of positional players. My guess is that our pen will be fine as long as we have a stud as a closer going forward. We know how much it costs to fill that critical position. We finally have a good one. We think we'll know better by July what's needed in our starting rotation. Right now I'm rooting for Casas. He maybe one of our last pieces on the field. Lastly Kike should be a utility player when everyone returns, including Story. But $10M is pretty steep for a non starter.
  16. Moon u should revisit your post #1 in this thread. I'd say you were pretty much on the money except for couple of injured players. You even mentioned Valdez. Maybe undervalued Winckowski and Kutter. Well done.
  17. It's incredible what has transpired in April. Looks like we have found solid outfield trio in Yoshida, Duran and Verdugo. And I'm not dismissing the return of Duval at some point. And Wong is destined to be our catcher for a long time. At 24 I'm not sure if Valdez doesn't have abetter bat to ball skills than Story. Why not play Story at short in the future? I still see Casas as out future 1B. Go get a top of the line starting pitcher and we can start thinking about the 5th ring.
  18. Boring. Get a new topic line. Clutch. What is it? Is it real? Characteristics of clutch . Learned behavior or born with it? Is it generational?
  19. Starters Sale Kluber Bello Pivetta Paxton Houck Whitlock Winckowski and Kutter long relievers Martin Schriber Bernardino Bleier one inning guys Jansen the closer Not too bad especially if we can add a #1 starter in Juy
  20. Love to see him in the bigs July 2024
