    I am sure we could find a guy like Johnson or Swihart in our system and deal them for Syndergaard. That'd do, right?
  2. jacksonianmarch
    Or CC could be an expensive mop up guy.

    Mookie isn’t going to replicate the .438OBP this year. His 2018 will likely be his career year.
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Shoulder MRIs are notoriously difficult and unless they did it with intra-articular contrast, a labral issue will be hard to find. The same s*** happened when we traded for Pineda. His rookie season say him throwing 98mph and his ST with us he was barely topping 90. MRIs were clear until they injected contrast and found the tear

    Lol, it’s a decent signing that gives us some stability without long term outlay. Cash’s offseason thus far has been solid if not unspectacular
  6. jacksonianmarch
    Look at the type of players taken here. They’re all either utility guys or pitchers capable of relieving. No guys selected for their offense alone. They all took 12th pitcher types or 25th man types
  7. jacksonianmarch
    Yeah, this is laughable. Johnson has a 0.4WAR in 99 innings last year with a HR rate that was enormous. He’s not some kid coming up with promise, he’s a soft tossing 28 yr old. He is what he is and that’s a 5th starter/AAAA pitcher
  8. jacksonianmarch
    Normally I’d be upset over the loss of a guy in AAA who throws 100mph and has a wipeout slidepiece. But Anyelo has shoulder surgery and is likely to miss most, if not all of 2019
  9. jacksonianmarch
    Any time you hear “shoulder fatigue” and then see a velocity drop that significant, you worry about the labrum
  10. jacksonianmarch
    In 2015, his FIP was over 5 and his WAR was negative
  11. jacksonianmarch
    He will get selected. The question is whether a team is willing to either let him play it out or burn a bench spot on him to maintain control for the whole year. The padres did that with one of our catching prospects, Luis Torrens. He was awful in the majors and hasn’t reached his potential due to the lost development
  12. jacksonianmarch
    I’ll take the 7p over 8p and a Mendoza replacement. I don’t really care for espn period. But I do care about one game a week ending at midnight
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Johnson has limited value as a back end starter with limited upside. Swihart has no value. Putting them together is not getting you a 4WAR starter, it just isnt
  14. jacksonianmarch
    He was dominant for one season in Milwaukee and it happened to be when he had a velocity spike. He’s back down to the velocity when he was bad and he’s been bad. He needs a near 2 mph jump to be that guy again
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Lynn is a sinkerballer. He’s also from the south.
  16. jacksonianmarch
    2 yrs $34 mil with a $17 mil vesting option. Not bad
  17. jacksonianmarch
    His ERA with NY was well north of 4, but his FIP was in the mid 2’s. He’s a better pitcher than he showed last year and that’s proven through his career. That being said, a three year guarantee for a guy coming off that season seems to be a reach. I wonder if Texas sought to buy low and flip. I wonder if Lynn goes to Texas and pitches like an ace for half the season, if he becomes a big trade chip at the deadline with the cheap control that comes with him being a major asset. It’s a $30 mil risk that may pay off handsomely or crash and burn spectacularly
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Cora has a good point. He told Mookie that leading off guaranteed him 162AB’s with nobody on base. With Beni in the leadoff role, that drops down to 102 based on Beni’s OBP. Now I’m really extrapolating here, but if you use the % of times Betts gets an EBH and multiply that by the AB’s where Beni would be on base, you see Betts driving in 10 more runs based on first inning placement alone
  19. jacksonianmarch
    2 years with a vesting option, exactly what I suggested. No word on AAV yet
  20. jacksonianmarch
    You’re saying a pitcher is gonna go to the Rays and worsen? It’s usually the other way around. Morton found his power in Houston. He had been a sinker baller and kept getting middling results. Houston turned him into a 4 seam guy again and his K rates jumped through the roof. I hate this move. We already struggled vs the Rays, now we face a guy who hurts us up to 6 times next year instead of the standard 2-3.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Happ gives us stability. He’s a 30 start guy who will give us 170IP and be productive assuming good health, which he generally has shown. I don’t like a 3 yr deal, although I can understand that a 3 for Happ is better than a 6 for Corbin due to financial constraints that’ll start in about 4 seasons when we have to lock up our kids. Paxton adds in a high end starter capable of being a co-ace with Severino. We remove Lynn from the equation. JMont will be back at the ASB, so if CC falls off or we have injuries, we have a built in replacement who is really good.
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Machado was an inferior defensive shortstop at the time of his deal than Bogaerts is. Granted, Machado was actually a plus defender at SS in La, but I digress. Machado got 5 prospects and one of them was top 50 for 2 months of Machado coming off a sinking ship. Bogaerts is on a team expected to contend, so the Sox don’t have to deal him. Add in a full year of control and the ability to get a comp pick afterwards, and his value rises. I would anticipate a deal of Bogaerts would be to gather assets to find a cheaper option somewhere else that fills the need immediately.
  23. jacksonianmarch
    I’d doubt a strict three. I would go 2 and a vesting option. Happ was great for us down the stretch. Not sure where the whole fading thing came from. Yeah, his playoff start wasn’t pretty, but his season on the whole was solid and his time with us was great. I think he fills our 4 slot pretty well. Severino Paxton Tanaka Happ CC Better rotation than last year with German then Lynn.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Forgot to add “barring injury”
  25. jacksonianmarch
    The Porcello inclusion doesn’t surprise me. This has been theorized before where the Sox replace Porcello with Eovaldi and run Johnson or Velasquez out there as the 5. It weakens the club, depending on what returns. I think you’re clearly seeing that Henry does have a cap on what he can spend. They’re probably at that cap
