    By "people" you mean "mainly mvp 78"

    Rest, matchups, injuries, etc. Otherwise it woould be a 20 man roster. 9-man lineup, 5-man rotation, 6-man bullpen.
  3. Dipre
    All while not having arguably two of their three best hitters.

    I still have faith in Yoshida because you can't teach the type of plate discipline and swing decisions that guy can make when right. But so far he hasn't been up to snuff.

    We should stop humoring him. On a brighter note: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-wilyer-abreu-activation-possible-this-weekend/

    I'm actively getting dumber by engaging in this argument with you, so I'll bow out. Just know that what you're saying is bad, and you should feel bad.

    I couldn't care less what you or other posters say about what you think Cora will do. Not even Cora knows what he will do, as he is tied by directives from upper management. For someone who loves to call other people out on being wrong, at least make a semblance of an effort to formulate opinions based on how things actually work. We're not reinventing the wheel here.

    How do you know what Cora will or won't do? Are you like his wife's tennis coach or something?

    There's an actual explanation for why the pitching gains of this staff may actually be sustainable. I remember reading articles on both The Athletic and MLB.COM with pretty convincing explanations about the Sox' pitch selection this year compared to the past couple of years.....they just don't throw meatball four seamers anymore. They are more focused on trying to have pitchers tunnel and/or throw their best pitch than trying to establish their fastballs, and it has yielded very good results. That's the same thing Bailey focused on with his pitchers during his time with the Giants, with similar overall results. On a side, the team with the second lowest four seam usage after the Red Sox is actually the Giants.

    Remember when pretty much the entire site wanted Duran traded? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

    Let him play. he's a sunk cost if he doesn't improve
  13. Dipre
    Keep in mind this hot stretch is happening without Abreu or Casas. Two of the best hitters on this team.
  14. Dipre
    It's a wrong opinion, but it's yours, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.
  15. Dipre
    He could have a Cy Young season and the Sox could still come out ahead in this trade value-wise. Point is, we just won't know for a while.

    This is the train I'm riding on.

    Nothing is ever guaranteed on absolutely anything in life, except for the fact that we're all going to die. But in baseball (and this is a baseball related discussion), barring physical decline due to age (inevitable), skill erosion, or life-altering injury, the best way to predict a player's future performance is past performance. There are exceptions, like a pitcher altering his repertoire, or a player altering his swing, but there are decades of both qualitative and quantitative data to support this fact. Nothing is guaranteed, but you need to have a baseline to evaluate MLB talent, and that is it. Agreed with the point that they are doing the lord's work with establishing their next core, but their inability (hopefully past) to identify worthwhile veteran additions is what's worrisome, and the crux of my argument.

    40% of a season, while the Sox have five more years of control of Grissom, and Sale has plenty of opportunity to, as he had done the past 5 seasons, get injured.
  19. Dipre
    The same number of electrons used to try to deny the fact that the best indicator of future performance is past performance? By this logic, the Yankees should have cut Aaron Judge after his slow start.
  20. Dipre
    Giving out grades for the Grissom-Sale trade before half a season is a fool's errand.
  21. Dipre
    You're on to something here.
  22. Dipre
    These damn whippersnappers and their Wxyz- and their ERA% and all of their nonsense!
  23. Dipre
    Why come to a baseball discussion forum to discuss baseball related matters? Honest question.
  24. Dipre
    Limits on pickoff throws too
