    That doesnt bother me. You dont bother me except for one thing. We (your fans) want you to bring back shocked face moe. Do you know what your boston.com pic was in 2007 when we won the ws? Do you not want to win the ws? I even retrieved it for you! (It was this one, right? Im not 100% this was the exact shocked face moe pic)

    im gonna keep hammering my catch phrases, sorry

    Yeah, if the goal is to finish to near .500 every year (and it seems like it is) so I agree with you, but I reallllly dont want to reward the half-in/half-out I say this a lot but if you are strategizing for BOTH the short term and the long term, you are strategizing for neither. I want and Ive always wanted. Win now vs win later. Circle one. Which one? I dont care. I only ask 2 things. 1. That the red sox decision makers circle one. No buying and selling. 2. If you choose later, when later comes, you (at that point) choose now. So if you wanna say roman is going to be 22, in 4 years he'll be 26 and crochet will still be awesome and mayer will be great. Okay. But in 4 years, prioritize short term. If you are always prioritizing three years down the road, three years down the road never comes.

    22 yr old sophmore, i find it just as likely he steps back next year than forward. Not guaranteed he'll step back, nor the end of the world if he does (sophmores slump all the time than adjust). But 22 yr olds do not dominate the league. Nick Kurtz was prob the best 22 yr old this year, Camineiro was prob second. They both had very good years, teams didnt make playoffs. JROD in 2022, where did the mariners go? Who was the last championship team whose best player was 22?

    We had like one player in the top 50 in runs created last year, and it was the guy who everyone thinks we should trade for pitching for our fourth pitching acquisition this offseason (0 offense). And if you are pointing to roman and mayer, you are punting. Because those guys are 5 years away from their prime. And we are already 7 lousy years into a rebuild. Rebuilds for big market teams should not take 12 years. ANd by the way, these dudes who some of you have been waiting for a decade are trending down.

    Now its you who is not arguing in good faith. Substitue .300 hitter for top 20% in wrc+ or something else Hes saying we have had historical success when we've had good hitters, and right now we dont have good hitters.

    Do you really think he meant that results dont matter when he said hes not interested in researching projections? Or are you taking a comment and making it what you want to be in order to score a point? Do you think you are fooling literally anyone?
  10. drewski6
    I do think Roman will be that guy, especially if we are setting the bar low enough to include Pedroia (no knock on pedey, i think roman will be a better hitter). But I do not think that teams should put their eggs in any sophmore's basket. Roman will be a 22 yr old sophmore. Sophmore's slump. ALso, he doesnt even have his man strenght yet. Im fine with Roman leading off. I think he is going to be next year , a top 5 leadoff hitter, in all of baseball. But I dont think hes going to be an absolute lineup carrying superstar next year. In fact, I think its very hard for a leadoff hitter to do this. If we had 2 very good hitters hitting behind him, we would be a much much much much much better team. And some people just poo-poo that need and it boggles my mind.

    Im not in love with projections either. I was only trying to differentiate between hitting and WAR. I do not believe that an A+ hitter and a c+ fielder vs a C+ hitter and an a+ defender are interchangeable. I am very concerned about our lack of bats. Cedannes defense does 0 for this concern. Im not a good pitching beats good hitting guy, nor am I a pitching wins chapionships guy. Im sick of hearing abou run prevention. I think one day someone made up a bunch of misleading cliches, but teams generally go as far as their bats will take them. Especially these days when sub 4 era pitchers grow on trees, but guys who can still mash in a pitcher's era like judge, vlad, ohtani, freeman seem to get further. Im not saying pitching and defense are inconsequential or meaningless. But I do believe that if you can choose between having :1) elite hitting, 2) elite defense and 3) elite pitching, there IS a right answer and its not preference. And its hitting. I am also open to the possibility that I am wrong.

    they got yu chang off a dfa. you cna always find good defensive noodlebats.
  13. drewski6
    Whats the projected wrc+
  14. drewski6
    Thats great, im talking about hitting.
  15. drewski6
    I disagree that we'd be 18th in runs if you subtract Duran, Bregman and only add the Japanese hitter. And also, I think the dudes who want the Japanese player are underestimating his market and hes not as cheap as they pencil him in for, either. Also, SD didnt get out of the first round.
  16. drewski6
    I think me too
  17. drewski6
    The reason why you would trade Mayer for Marte is so you would have one hitter in the top 50. One very good one for 2026. Because right now, we have 0. Im reading the arguments why not, and Im very hesitant to move Mayer myself for a lot of reasons mentioned. It does open a hole, I get that. But lets not act like there is 0 point to getting a dude who would be easily the best hitter on our team next year. Ortiz and Manny are not walking through that door.
  18. drewski6
    Of course, haha. Carrolls name is a deal breaker, im sure. might even get you blocked.
  19. drewski6
    I would have liked Lodolo, I like the pitcher a lot. We , at this point, have 11 pitchers and 0 guys who were top 50 hitters last year (if we move Duran for Lodolo). If you think one 22 yr old sophmore (Roman) is enough, you are punting
  20. drewski6
    Rotation was a strength of the team last year, youve added 3 pitchers already. We're flipping our best trade chip (an offensive player) for a .....fourth pitching acquisition? What happened to two big bats? What happened to one? But Okajoko has 0 major league at-bats. Who hits second, third, fourth? ANd if its a wildcard (okie), abreu, and story guess what? Rotation is NOT going to matter. Cuz your fourth place. Five aces and your fourth place. Is Kutter Crawford hitting third? You all may think you want pitching and defense even if it comes with noodlebat city, but ive seen that movie before and you'll be turning off the game when its 2-0 in the second because we'l be averaging 1.8 runs / game. Then 3 of your five aces will get hurt. The BP will start blowing games and we'll be talking about 2028 in July while Pumpsie takes a victory lap. Do you, though.
  21. drewski6
    Cedanne, Duran, Bello, Mayer for Corbin Caroll and Marte take it or leave it.
  22. drewski6
    TY for reading the longer post.
  23. drewski6
    Im not including mayer for joe ryan.
  24. drewski6
    good counter point
  25. drewski6
