  1. Houck has a chance to be an elite RP. He's had too many health issues to push him forward as a SP.
  2. Bzzt! Zone swing % '12 63.2% 212 out of 347 '13 64.5% 147 out of 356 '14 58.2% 320 out of 349 O swing % '12 28.7% 198 out of 347 '13 30.5% 160 out of 356 '14 27.7% 240 out of 349 The only problem I'm noticing is that his contact rate in those three years was 20-25th percentile each year. It wasn't that he was swinging too much, just not making enough contact when he did swing.
  3. My least favorite parts: 1. Houck as SP3 2. Ward as OF4 3. 32M plus Bello for a 34 year old DH that hasn't OPS'd over 800 the last 2 seasons (declining HR totals in a HR park are cause for concern)
  4. He's a very weird case and I wish Statcast was around for his early run so we had more visibility into what went wrong.
  5. Realistic View at the 2027 Red Sox presented by DraftKings!
  6. Only 15 guys hit 60 HR from '25 - '26. Of them, I believe only Lowe and Suarez are FA. Suarez isn't a good bet going forward. Lowe isn't a good bet to stay healthy or hit 30 HR at Fenway.
  7. We're not rearranging the deck chairs here. We are swapping out the deck chairs for more expensive deck chairs!
  8. Which means that lots of people believed that Roman had a shot at MVP, but it was hush hush.
  9. His k rate is nothing compared to how guys k now though. He'd was just a decade ahead of his time. His zone contact % wasn't great, but it was better than Napoli and Salty's in '13. The problem is that he had the swing and miss, but his power fell off a cliff and he stopped being able to hit velocity.
  10. If Roman doesn't get injured, he's probably good enough. The first part is the problem IMO.
  11. You're forgetting that Darsow was Krusher Kruschev in JCP (Contreras with the Cubbies). I think the Demolition turn was when Contreras switched to 1B. Repo Man will be when Contreras will have to be a DH ('28 and beyond).
  12. McCaffrey suggests the 6 FA's to watch for the Sox are: Arozarena - QO Suzuki - QO Lowe - QO King Nick Martinez Clay Holmes
  13. We were talking about AGON 1.0: Alex Gonzalez, not Adrian Gonzalez.
  14. Vegas had Roman as like the 5th best odds for MVP. The "nobody said" gimmick is interesting to say the least when we expected him to lead the offense.
  15. Durbinator Tony Seagulls KC and the Sunshine Bat Abreau Fatley Curtis Meat Tolle Diver Gaspee Tex Guns Marinara Slamboa Crotch Burger
  16. That's always been his approach going back to MiLB. Other guys with similar approaches: James Wood, Adley Rutschman, Elly De La Cruz, Curtis Mead, Masa.
  17. He showed off more power in MiLB. Hasn't had 20 HR seasons since reaching MLB. Maybe he'll get back there?
  18. A couple kayaks that my kids used to go down the street on Tuesday due to all the flooding. The rest of the house is empty. Very rugged lifestyle.
  19. I think you just missed the joke, bud.
  20. I'd "consider" naming a pet after a Red Sox player again.
