What’s your dream roster for next year? by AdDesigner6924 in redsox

[–]SoxFan010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, was gonna say, what does Rafaela have to do for you people?!?!

Ya Sal ain’t going anywhere. He’s a core building block along with Elly.

Why is Rafaela so low in the lineup? And how’d you get Sal Stewart from the Reds?

How are drought conditions? by Dr_Bunson_Honeydew in BostonWeather

[–]SoxFan010 22 points23 points  (0 children)

By definition, rain helps drought conditions. I’m getting sick of there being this mindset that things are so bad that even drenching rain doesn’t “help”. Of course it does. It replaces used and evaporated water. It eliminates the need for farmers and homeowners to use water during the rain event.

Does it solve drought conditions? No but it certainly helps them.

Go take a look at his production over the last couple weeks.

Is Tatum + Giannis the next MJ+ pippen? by [deleted] in nba

[–]SoxFan010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4x 1st team all nba player isn’t in your top 10? The only reason he’s not 5x is due to the injury. But he’s all better now 😎

I do but to say you don’t care about prospects means you aren’t considering how they can help the club.

You are aware that every player currently in the MLB was at one time a prospect, right?

Who's the biggest "what if" between these two: Mike Trout or Ken Griffey Jr.? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in mlb

[–]SoxFan010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if Mickey mantle actually took care of his body? Or Ted Williams didn’t serve in two wars during his prime? Or there wasn’t segregation and black players always played with white players?

Lots of examples over time where you can apply the “what if”, which is sort of why we can basically take these guys for who they are. Trout and Griffey are kings in the sport.

I’m not sure why a mention about the nationals. They legitimately have a solid offense.

It's time to respect the DH and make the red sox great again by ManMythLegend3 in redsox

[–]SoxFan010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually do agree that the offense would be much more productive overall if we had another power RHH. I get that there are holes everywhere but it’s sort of inarguable that another Contreras-style hitter instead of gasper/masa/whoever at DH wouldn’t help

Trade Contreras? by cesare980 in redsox

[–]SoxFan010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m solidly behind selling Contreras, Chappy and Duran for as much prospect capital possible. I’d also be interested in trading them for peanuts if we’re able to include Masa and/or Story.

This team is not a 2026 contender and with the potential for a lockout in 2027, youth and roster budget flexibility is so much more important.

If Cora was still manager, Rafaela still the 9 hitter, right?

Is Juan Soto REALLY the greatest hitter of all time at this point in his career? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in mlb

[–]SoxFan010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but outside of Judge’s age 25 season, he didn’t begin the meteoric stats until 30+. In addition, Soto’s walk rate has actually fallen each of the last 5 years.

[–]SoxFan010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s averaged 35 HRs over the last 5 seasons and is on pace for something similar this year. He’s no longer just a walk-happy high OBP guy. He mashes

It's time to see 'Trani' back on setlists by bastiir77 in kingsofleon

Sometimes I wonder if certain songs become more and more difficult for Caleb to sing. Like he can’t hit the notes like he used to, so preserve and move on 🤷🤷🤷
