    No, you use your "eye test" only on highlights. It's not worth conversing with you over this.
  2. mvp 78
    That's different than the difficulty of the play.
  3. mvp 78
    No, because I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every MLB game.
  4. mvp 78
    Red Sox should move to Nashville and get in a worse division.
  5. mvp 78
    Mediocre fielding play. That catch is made almost nightly in MLB.
  6. mvp 78
    Eye test on highlights? Now that's a new low...

    He was built for the mid-80's Cardinals lineup in Busch Stadium. He would have won a batting title there.
  8. mvp 78
    Giddy when? People got excited when he played well during the WBC. Before then, he was still a big unknown that we hadn't seen.
  9. mvp 78
    And the broadcasts note that he does better with the quick throws rather than the ones he has time to think about.
  10. mvp 78
    It's not that Raffy is the worst 3B in the league, it's just that his bat is great enough to keep him in the lineup everyday. The other bad fielding 3b's get sent back to AAA or moved to parttime roles at least. (Segura and JD Davis are all worse than Raffy this year per DRS. In 2021 when Devers was -13, Bohm and Dozier were as bad or worse since they played in far fewer innings.)

    Cubs tanked and then couldn't keep it going. Astros tanked and then turned into a monster. Dodgers never tanked but figured out how to become a monster. Rays did rays things and nobody can figure out how to replicate it.

    Interesting. He deserves a shot and is a good defender.
  14. mvp 78
    He's better than Benintendi at least.
  15. mvp 78
    Sox are a big market and should act like it. They should be able to pay guys they like.
  16. mvp 78
    Not sure what baserunning has to do with defense?
  17. mvp 78
    Damon's -0.6 dWAR in 04 is worse than Devers' this year and you want to move Devers to 1b. His -11 DRS was almost twice as bad as Masa's and people want to either trade or DH him.
  18. mvp 78
    I don't think his range would be very good and he'd have trouble with the footwork turning a double play IMO.
  19. mvp 78
    I agree that it's very weird that he put together a team with bad defense and a horrible rotation.
  20. mvp 78
    In 04, Damon, Manny and Millar were all pretty bad defensively.
  21. mvp 78
    I agree with #4 or at least that they attempt to try #4 and Bloom just says "well, we tried it, but we didn't get the right value" and he's still here on Opening Day.
  22. mvp 78
    2021 was a great year, but 2020 and the past two have taken their toll for sure.
  23. mvp 78
    04: Schilling, Pedro, Wake, Lowe, Arroyo: averaged 30+ starts a piece 07: DiceK, Beckett, Wake, Schilling, Lester 13: Lester, Lackey, Dempster, Buchholz, Dubront 18: Porcello, Price, Sale, Eovaldi, ERod Those are 4 really fantastic rotations. That's why pitching and more pitching is always the goal.
  24. mvp 78
    To me, not making any real moves at the deadline was the worst option of 3 options for fans. 1. Trade for some players to make moves and the fans get some excitement in the current year. 2. Trade current players so that fans can get a better team in future years. 3. Do nothing and settle for medicority and just keep fans frustrated.
  25. mvp 78
    They are already saying things like "building for the future" and that they don't want to do anything that compromises that vision. Clearly, that's their focus. The "competitiveness" is just window dressing to sell tickets and keep people watching for as long as possible during yet another BRIDGE YEAR. After all, it is a business and they still need the $$$.
