    Sox offense coming to life. Should continue as the warm weather settles in
  2. jacksonianmarch
    Duran should be up. Stupid to keep wasting ABs on negative WAR Jackie
  3. jacksonianmarch
    Literally no risk. Why not?

    Yanks sign Salazar to MiLB deal. He’s held together with paper tape and bubble gum, but why not? He was a dominant starter before succumbing to injuries. Maybe they can turn him into a lights out reliever?
  5. jacksonianmarch
    He has had issues with back and hammy issues. He is 32, meaning you are looking at signing him for 33-38 most likely. You are not in window, meaning you may burn his best 1-2 years of the next contract on bad teams

    Timing does line up, doesn't it. Donaldson is done after 23.
  7. jacksonianmarch
    I offer him in a trade for multiple high level prospects. Nate is not a part of your future. The fact that hes been healthy since 2019 is a minor miracle. He is not a part of your future

    I think it has ENTIRELY to do with the next 4 weeks of sox baseball. If the sox go on a tear and get back into contention (only 5 games back of TOR for 6th spot), then Bloom cannot really blow things up. I know you guys don't like Bloom right now, but the guy is a MASTER trader. If given the chance to deal off an ace and three silver sluggers, the returns will end up being massive. If he can deal these guys off, then by 2024 the team will not only be better, it should be arrow straight up and would be a good time to reinvest. Maybe that is when you sign Devers as a FA

    The thing that bothers me here is the idea that someone is "too expensive" for Boston. He may be poorly timed to stay in Boston. The sox might be in a rebuild when his FA comes up. Does it make sense to spend the first 2-3 years of a mega extension building something?

    In his defense, he broke out in 19, 20 was a pandemic shortened season and 21 was a damn good year dragged down by his D at 4WAR. We are 20% through the season, his defense has improved and he is on pace for a 7WAR season again. With offense trending downward, Devers is worth a LOT, especially considering his entire first year of his new contract will be spent at the age of 27.

    He’s gonna reset the market. You guys are WAY too low. Last time a player this young and this good hit the market, Machado and Harper found their homes for $300 mil plus. Devers is gonna shatter that. Someone is gonna give him 12 years $360 mil.
  12. jacksonianmarch
    Lol. Click, click, boom. Wow
  13. jacksonianmarch
    14-7. Guys, this might be the year. Wow.
  14. jacksonianmarch
    That’s the craziest thing! You’d think a 22-8 start would be all systems go, but it hasn’t been. Not even close. The pitching has been lights out, but it’s not like they’re doing it with smoke and mirrors. They’ve got power, control and movement up and down their staff with depth sitting in the minors. It’s nuts. Yanks are likely gonna have to deal Medina too, who will bring back something really good, just because he’s in his last option year and there’s nowhere to stash him. Steve Ridings is recovering from an arm injury but didn’t need surgery. He tops out at 103. Clarke Schmidt was awesome in April and is our 6th starter, yet he’s in AAA stretching himself out. Add in Sears, Waldichuk, etc. that doesn’t even account for Gil who’s been rocky this year or Garcia who is only 22.

    The absolute best thing (to a Yankee fan) that the Sox can do is be in contention for that 6th PO spot at the deadline and then fall short
  16. jacksonianmarch
    And am I wrong? The offense still isn’t clicking. Hicks, Gallo, IKF, Donaldson, C still under .654 OPS. Lemahieu, Gleyber and Stanton under .800
  17. jacksonianmarch
    See!
  18. jacksonianmarch
    After 13 games or so
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Yanks win again. Sweep the Jays. Now 5 games up in the L column on Tampa and 6 on Toronto (and 11 on the sox, but they are dead). Offense is getting just enough. Seems like a different hero every day. Lots of growth still expected on the offensive side as the weather warms. Taillon was good, pen was dominant again even though Chap gave up his first run in 2022. This team is 15-2 last 17 and have the best record in baseball and it doesn't feel like it. This doesn't look like a team that just got white hot. They have the same approach every time. Good starting pitching, lights out pen, scratch enough offense to have a lead late and lock it down. I said early in the year that this team gave me late 90s Yankees feelings and I still feel that way. Those Yankees weren't bludgeoning teams to death. They knew how to win close games. They knew how to score late. They knew how to hold a lead. This team has the same exact traits
  20. jacksonianmarch
    Wow!
  21. jacksonianmarch
    And with one big swing it's tied
  22. jacksonianmarch
    yanks are swinging pool noodles
  23. jacksonianmarch
    If sox keep bouncing him between pen and staff, they will screw him up
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Sevy does not look good early on here. Fastball erratic, cannot locate slider or change. Might be a short night for him
  25. jacksonianmarch
    The cutter changed the eye level, which is crazy. Cutters usually have late lateral motion. His drops too. As a hitter, when you see spin and the beginnings of lateral motion, you typically think slider with bigger movement and some drop. With Nestor, you don't know if it's gonna be 87 with tight spin late movement and small drop or it's gonna be 83 and sweep all across the zone. He uses the cutter so well that he can get strikes with it, which makes his 4 seamer much more difficult to handle or he uses it with his slider as his K pitch by throwing it at the bottom of the zone and it dives out of the strike zone at last split second.
