    I think McGuire is good enough. Wong has been really great. McGuire is just the backup right now. The starters have flat out sucked. McGuire has done rather well with the bullpen. Seems like it's a pitching issue and not a catching one?

    A million bazillion percent...

    Kluber has had one good start with Wong and one good start with McGuire. I'm not hanging his faults on anyone but himself.
  4. mvp 78
    McGuire has reverted in part due to a hand injury he's working through.
  5. mvp 78
    Also, Lugo is NOT better than Valdez. Not even close. Hickey and Abreu should probably be closer to #10 than they are now as well.
  6. mvp 78
    I'd put Valdez ahead of Walter.
  7. mvp 78
    I think Valdez graduates fairly soon. He may graduate before he'd get into the top 10.

    Framing Throwing out runners Setting up the defense If all they had to do was hold a glove, Alfaro would be in MLB.
  9. mvp 78
    If he wants to start, he needs to earn it and be able to turn the lineup over. The talk of him staying in the rotation, has always been just that - talk.

    Wong has a cannon and is limited SB's. McGuire got eaten alive by the O's in the opening series and has a bad arm. Seems like SB's have ticked down a little bit though? I think McGuire paid a price for the Sox coaching staff not being ready for the O's early on.

    For him to have that profile, the bat just really needs to play and can't take a step back. As a merely below average catcher, his bat is getting him to MLB no question. He's bad enough they may take away his catcher's mitt before next season.
  12. mvp 78
    Ward's numbers would be much better than that in the WOO rotation probably.
  13. mvp 78
    Casas would go down and just mash in AAA. He would learn nothing. It would be a waste. You have to keep him up here.

    Platooning is the Cora way.

    Story > Reyes Duvall > Tapia

    Houck is great through the first 9 batters. That's not really up for debate.
  17. mvp 78
    Pivetta can throw a lot of innings and his xFIP shows that there should be some positive regression, but I think I'd rather have Houck in there and just make sure Cora pulls him after the second time through the order.
  18. mvp 78
    I don't think it's a DFA yet. I think they try a phantom IL. Maybe another starter has an injury and Kluber comes back for round 2. If he isn't better, then we see a DFA. I like Crawford and Houck in the pen too. I wish there was a better option than Kluber/Pivetta as the 5th starter. If Walter had developed it would have been interesting to give him a shot, but that's definitely not the case right now. Drohan is not close to being ready this year at any point. Chris Murphy should be DFA'd to make space on the roster. Not sure there is another arm in the org right now that can help out for this slot.

    Why assume he'll continue to be good? He wasn't very good prior to 2022. He wasn't very good in April.
  20. mvp 78
    Per GSv2, he's only had 2 games with a game score above 50 out of 9 starts. Not ideal. Sale: 5 Paxton: 2 (2 starts) Houck: 3 Crawford: 1 (2 starts) Whitlock: 1 (3 starts) Bello: 3 (6 starts) Pivetta: 2
  21. mvp 78
    My thoughts would have been Nate instead of Kluber IMO.
  22. mvp 78
    Why save money this year to take away from the next 3?
  23. mvp 78
    The scenario I described was "what if everything is going well and we need to squeeze everyone in."
  24. mvp 78
    Whitlock/Houck/Crawford
  25. mvp 78
    Yeah, not sure I'd want Wacha for 4 years. Sox did have an agreement in place for Eovaldi that was apparently more than what he got from the Rangers, but Nate originally said no. When he finally came back to them, the budget had already been spent. Why not just go over the CBT for him if you really wanted him?
