    The pen has been good (aside from DFA candidates Brasier and Ort) and the offense has been good. Maybe he needs to focus on the rotation at some point? IDK, it just seems like a plan that isn't working well.

    You said: You can't do that for bWAR. Only FanGraphs assigns a $ value to fWAR. There is no $ value to bWAR. Even the fWAR one isn't really meant to be taken seriously IMO. When you factor in injury prone pitchers, you also have to factor in the replacement level pitchers that will fill in for them.

    Projected Total Tax Allocations: $214M (11th) Tax Threshold: $233M (7 teams are projected to be over: Mets, Yanks, Jays, Phillies, Pads, Doyers, Braves) It's interesting because the SoxProspect guys were saying they only had a few million to spend before they hit the cap and that's part of the reason they didn't want to add Alfaro. Not sure how accurate Spotrac's projections are.

    It certainly doesn't treat Hill very well! Where's the value on that signing?
  6. mvp 78
    Placekeeper for who? There's nobody close in the pipeline! It's not like they are waiting on the pitching version of Rafaela or Mayer or even Bleis.

    Didn't moon have all these CERA stats to show that Vaz was a bad catcher? That's why he didn't like him?

    On April 4, 2023, this appears to be correct. There is time for it to turn around, but it's UGLY right now. Crawford has a low ceiling. He is just an injury filler. He can be sent to AAA. Sale hasn't pitched competitively in a long time. He needs to figure out how to be a pitcher again. Kluber's velo was down in his first start. If it doesn't come back to what it was just last season, he could be toast. I think there's a better likelihood of him figuring it out than Sale or Crawford.

    I disagree that his two signees did well. The average starting rotation had 12 fWAR. A team of 5 Hill's (the better fWAR player between the two FA's) would only have 9 fWAR. That's still basically the bad rotation the Sox had last season (8.6 fWAR).
  10. mvp 78
    He spent $18.5M and got 3.3 fWAR or $26.4M in value. WOW! He still didn't acquire a pitcher that had 2 fWAR! He still had a rotation that was 18th in the league and last in their division! He needs to be able to use his budget to build a competitive rotation. To this point, he hasn't been able to. It looks like he lucked into 2021.
  11. mvp 78
    They were 18th in fWAR. If they are injured throughout the season, it's partially due to roster construction. Not one starter last season had 2 fWAR. You can't build a rotation out of 1.5 fWAR guys. That's not good enough.
  12. mvp 78
    That doesn't fix what Brasier, Sale and Kluber did in the Orioles series. They would be on the roster if the other 5 pitchers were healthy.

    WOOSox game in Buffalo postponed due to bad field conditions. Bison's tarp ripped this weekend. They were gifted a secondary tarp by the Rochester Red Wings, but last night's rainwater leaked through it. Is McCoy available?
  15. mvp 78
    Bring back the 1985 Cardinals!
  16. mvp 78
    If the rotation is 30th in the league on Memorial Day, he'll be fired at the BBQ.
  17. mvp 78
    HR - 102, 12th (100 is average) 1B - 108, 3rd 2B - 129, 1st 3B - 140, 5th H - 112, 2nd
  18. mvp 78
    Yes, they have lots of arms. Aside from Bello, none of them are projected as middle of the rotation starters. Winckowski is a back of the rotation guy at best. Walter is a 4/5 maybe. Mata is most likely a bullpen arm. The best pitching prospects (the ones with the highest ceilings) are far away.
  19. mvp 78
    Do they even have a Steve Avery?
  20. mvp 78
    I don't cheer for the owner's checkbook. He's a rich bastard.
  21. mvp 78
    Betts, Vazquez, Xander, JD, Price, Nate... Any of these guys could have been traded for young pitching.
  22. mvp 78
    Sure, AS A RELIEF PITCHER...
  23. mvp 78
    It is HIS budget. He is not doing his job if he can't build an adequate rotation. 2020 - SUCKED 2021 - It was good because they lucked into amazing health. 2022 - Underwhelming. Below average! 2023 - Early returns are horrible.
  24. mvp 78
    I would take the Twins rotation over the Red Sox rotation any day: Pablo Lopez Sonny Gray Joe Ryan Tyler Mahle Kenta Maeda
  25. mvp 78
    Also, wasn't Vaz the BAD CERA guy per all of moon's numbers?!?!?
