    But hey, this is the year Franchy stays healthy!
  2. jacksonianmarch
    The yearly prospect elbow injury in February. With his history, breath should be held

    2020 was different, though. To their bodies, they played a half season
  4. jacksonianmarch
    No, I’m saying this is what it would take to get him to sign an extension with the smallest AAV

    The Dodgers got better after winning the WS. They are a force to be reckoned with.

    Okay, kids these days either want the uber contract or they want an early entry into FA via an opt out. Here is what I think would be offered to him. 10 year extension (negates this year, where he is slated to earn $4.575 mil.) $250 mil. Opt out after year 5 (he will be 29). If opt out is triggered, Sox get a 1 yr $25 mil team option. If they trigger the option, they cannot offer arbitration. Essentially turns the deal into a minimum guaranteed 6 year deal for Devers (why would he opt out and not have his option triggered?) at $150 mil. If he goes in the tank or gets hurt, he can stick around until he is 34.

    Judge is just the better offensive player at this juncture. He is also a better defender at his position, but I digress. Devers has yet to prove he is a consistent, top level player. He is gonna want to be paid as such, especially now that he is in arbitration. So the sox need to decide if it is worth paying him based on 2019 and his potential. That's the question. I have a better idea, why don't you tell me what you are comfortable paying him and we can see whether that's realistic or not?

    I think Devers ends up better than his 2020 line suggests, but the last thing you want is to add 6 years and $150 mil to his ledger for him and find out he's just good. Devers (I suspect) would not sell himself short at 24 yrs old, so he would want to be adequately compensated in an extension. So are the sox willing to assume the risk that Devers ends up a average to above average 1b yet paying him like an elite 3b?

    Not sure if it's wishful on my part or blind on a lot of board members here. Maybe a mix of both. I don't see a lot of improvement to the team and I do see some loss in the "upside" department with Beni and Bradley likely moving on.
  10. jacksonianmarch
    9 games better... in a 60 game season.
  11. jacksonianmarch
    Still better than the sox
  12. jacksonianmarch
    Team leader at that point, clearly not best player
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Do you extend Devers at top market rate if he moves to 1b and is the 16th best 1b in baseball?
  14. jacksonianmarch
    It was a theoretical earlier in the thread. Bogey's D isnt great. All know this. It isnt a secret. But just like Jeter, you dont move your team leader and the best player on your team off position unless it is patently obvious and unless it is in pursuit of a title. Nobody thinks the sox are winning anything this year, so moving him in 2021 makes little sense
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Well, right now they are. You do have the 4th pick in the draft for a reason
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Devers had one good year. Judge has had solid performance in all 4 of his years, his only issue has been health (still a big issue)
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Judge happens to be the unicorn here, is what I am saying. But I think you already know that
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Yes, he is. And he is an established All Star as a SS. Moving him off position for a title contending team is one thing. Moving him off position on a team projected to miss the POs is a great way to force his way out of town
  19. jacksonianmarch
    You're funny. I see what you did there. You used all players and then extrapolated Judge to it since he didnt qualify due to injury. Well, that's not really a useful stat, counting some players who got 10 ABs vs Judge. You take Judge's info and extrapolate over qualified players and he is 19th, which is within a rounding error of 11th in a season where he missed time due to injury. If he qualified in 2019, he'd have been first by a wide wide margin
  20. jacksonianmarch
    Gallo has had one season where he has surpassed .209 in BA. His defense is the only thing that made his WAR plus last year. Gallo is very, very overrated.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    If I am Bloom, this is the show me year for Devers. He was terrible in 18, awesome in 19, meh in 20. I do not extend him until he delivers more to 2019 standards. If he settles out as a below average D, above average 3b offensively, then I would not extend period. You need to take his offense and look at it through the prism of a first basemen, which he would be at some point if you extend him. And outside of 2019, he hasnt shown the ability to hit well enough to stand up to other 1b's in the league
  22. jacksonianmarch
    No, my argument is that it was tried before and went horribly. Now, Bogey is arguably your best player and moving him off position because of his defense is a really good way to see him leave after 2022.
  23. jacksonianmarch
    How do you bat a .740 hitting 2b ahead of Vaz?
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Franchy has speed, which WMP didnt have. But WMP was an exit velo darling before it was en vogue. When he hit a ball, it would go forever. He just couldnt hit balls. Franchy has the same low contact issue.
  25. jacksonianmarch
    He does. I doubt Rocker gets to you. If by some miracle both are available, though, I think Leiter is the safer pick to make it to the bigs. If this was a rebuild on a small market club, I go Rocker all the way. But on a big market club likely 2 years from heavily investing in the team, you need a guy who will be in AAA or the bigs by then and a guy like Leiter is more likely to make that happen. You don't have to teach Leiter how to pitch to big league hitters. He had those talks at the dinner table with his all star dad
