    This is also true. I believe they have a set number of pitching slots they want to maintain on the 40 man roster. I heard someone say that they were "heavier" on the pitching side of the 40 man and were going to cull from there.

    I disagree that 2B/SS has been resolved.
  3. mvp 78
    Should it have been? Hell no! That's part in parcel with these people that are trying to keep Bonds and Clemens out of the Hall of Fame for no good reason.

    They beat Metallica that one year!

    He pitched 152 last season. His innings limit will be self imposed as he probably won't go late into all of his outings. He pitched into the 6th inning twice for BOS last season. At a similar rate, he'd get to like 175 innings or so at most.

    Not once Story's elbow exploded and Xander walked away.

    I think there was concern of not having enough IF depth and the potential Hamilton may have with larger bags. I don't have high hopes for Hamilton and didn't project them to protect him though.

    Got it.

    Which is why I'm fine with putting ARod et al on my hypothetical ballot. The only "worthy" guy I'd exclude would be Palmeiro as he lied to Congress about using (notably pointed his finger), got caught soon after and then stuffed earplugs in his ears to avoid jeering from fans. Even if Vizquel wasn't a scumbag, I think he still wasn't a good enough ballplayer to get in. The MLB I grew up with included the San Diego Chicken, the Baseball Bunch, Morganna and guys getting juiced to the gills. Let baseball be fun.

    Didn't realize he wasn't on the 40 man roster.
  11. mvp 78
    Why? No matter what, Ward had trade value. They could have put him onto the 40 man and dealt him for something more than what they got for Seabold.
  12. mvp 78
    Does Kingery still have options remaining?
  13. mvp 78
    Honestly, I was more focused on the Barnes part of the tweet... Jesus...

    It's ********. Anyone that is ok with Perry being in the HOF and laughs off all the TWIB's yuck yucking about Perry back in the day can't complain about Manny or ARod or Bonds doing damage to the sanctity of the game with a straight face.
  15. mvp 78
    Yeah, we're guessing about some guys that are still in the complex league. Nobody knows, not even the people that work with them everyday.

    Mata is NOT an innings eater. He hasn't had a healthy season since 2017.
  17. mvp 78
    They can't be right all the time.
  18. mvp 78
    I'm not sure I see Jordan or Yorke reaching BOS in '24. Lugo could be a good UTIL guy, but also trade fodder. Kavadas seems to be DH only profile. Why not add Scott or Hickey for '24? Hickey is currently at the same level as Jordan.
  19. mvp 78
    I think I'd consider putting him there too. Could be a strong late inning LHP guy.

    If you go to somewhere like spotrac, they differentiate these between "Injured List" and "Retained Salaries" which the dead money would only be for the retained salary bucket noted as leftover salaries from players who have been traded or released, or buyouts for declined options.
  21. mvp 78
    Sale isn't "dead money" as he is still an active player for the Red Sox per se. Dead money by their definition would be players no longer in the organization.
  22. mvp 78
    They put approximately 20M, so I can't tell you what amount they were assuming. About 4M? I think "dead" money is for guys not actively on the roster. Pedroia's contract was effectively dead money from 18-21.
  23. mvp 78
    Crawford's trade value is much higher than Barnes' according to BTV. DeSclafani is listed as "low" availability and when healthy he's a decent pitcher. Ahmed is coming off shoulder surgery. Pass. I included Kingery as an option on because if he somehow regains his form, there are 3 club options after this year for 13M AAV.
  24. mvp 78
    Niko Goodrum and Edwin Diaz, come on down! You're the next contestants on Bloom wasn't Right!
  25. mvp 78
    It's going to be awesome.
