    Wish we had a player like Margot playing for us..,. Oh wait. Thanks desperate Dave!!!
  2. Larry Cook
    Bauer has a multi million dollar arm and a ten cent head!
  3. Larry Cook
    I am hoping we pass on springer and ozuna!
  4. Larry Cook
    The hardest part of this offseason is to sign the five or six free agent players we need to be a playoff calibre team next season while also improving the farm system so we can eventually have a competitively sustainable team.

    Cheating? Or trying to gain a competitive edge?
  6. Larry Cook
    Was it cheating or trying to gain a competitive edge?
  7. Larry Cook
    I would be willing to help pack any and/or all of them up and ship them out!

    Hope is never a good strategy. I think hang’em Chaim is executing his plan. I remain cautiously optimistic about this offseason.
  9. Larry Cook
    I thought hang’em Chaim was looking closely at George Lombard. Now I hear he is looking at kotsay.

    What exactly do we have with Munoz? Can we really depend on him over the course of a full season.
  11. Larry Cook
    I do not think that is 100 percent accurate. The thinking was more along the lines of Ben “overvaluing prospects”.

    If we were to hire a manager from within, I would like to see Carlos feebles get a shot,
  13. Larry Cook
    Looking at our team, I think we need the following: 1.) a 2nd tier starting pitcher. 2.) a closer for the bullpen. 3.) two additional power set up arms for the bullpen. 4.) a center fielder. Resigning either Bradley or pillar works for me. 5.) someone to step up at 2nd base. I do not see Chavis as anything other than an outfielder. If we hit on these six players, we will go back to the playoffs,

    George Lombard could be an interesting managerial candidate.

    I’ve seen a lot of good things in this down season. The big three being: 1.) hang’em Chaim seems to have figured out what type of pitcher works well in Fenway, 2.) we traded a bunch of spare parts for some minor leaguers that could develop into important pieces for us. 3.) our offense suffered a hit with the loss of Betts and company, but have the makings of a solid offense going forward.

    I recommend caution with houck! He has only worked 17 innings thus far. Also he only has two pitches and hitters will figure this out. Finally, no way should he throw more than 150 innings next year. If he can hold down a spot until sale gets back, that would be great. Ps: I believe sale will be back to being incredible by October 2021. Privetta has four pitches and impressive stuff, getting him straightened out would be a huge win for us. Rotation for 2021: Houck starts the season. Then sale comes back after the all star break as houck runs out of gas. Rodriguez Free agent signee Eovaldi Perez/privetta

    Houck is excelling because of his slider. Lots of movement. It is making hitters uncomfortable! His delivery is also making it tough for the hitters to pick up the ball. The key to houck is if he can get hitters out the second or third game they get to see him! Once the hitters learn to pick up the ball from his delivery, because he only has two pitches, it could get tough for him!
  18. Larry Cook
    Check that, Roenicke is now out. Time for Cora to come back home! Even if we win, worst case is the 5th pick!
  19. Larry Cook
    Hoping houck throws a nice game tonight. I like the changes they made with his delivery and hope his command and control continue tonight!
  20. Larry Cook
    I hope we resign him. As well as sign a decent free agent starter.
  21. Larry Cook
    Rodriguez would need to have a nice start to the 2021 season to have any trade deadline value. Texas could offer us some nice prospects for him!
  22. Larry Cook
    If desperate Dave winds up as the angels GM, does he trade trout to get payroll flexibility and prospects? San Diego is right down the road and they can offer a ton of great prospects! Atlanta can offer a ton of pitching prospects! Jeter can offer a bad case of the clap and a few mediocre prospects! The choices are endless for desperate Dave!
  23. Larry Cook
    Seems like we were reluctant to bring up the kids earlier this summer, but when they finally got here, they did not do that bad.
  24. Larry Cook
    Do we lead the league in outfield assists? Seems like we have one or two every series.
  25. Larry Cook
    I never watched pivetta pitch prior to today, so I did not know anything really about him. He appears to have decent stuff. Not sure we will know anything about him, as an answer for our 2021 rotation until next spring. I think I saw him get four different pitches over for strikes and his command and control was decent. His pitches had movement. That is a lot of raw material to work with. Sale Rodriguez Free agent signing Eovaldi Perez/pivetta/houck That rotation is big improvement over this year’s, if they are all healthy.
