    On the change to pitch clocks: “Still no data to support pitch timer causing more injuries: IL placements for pitchers from spring report date to Day 124 of season down from 379 in '22 to 360. Placements since 1st day of spring games down from 365 to 349. Regular season placements down from 285 to 239.” - Anthony Castrovince

    Rizzo complained to the Yankees about "fogginess" and forgetting the number of outs plus other post concussion syndrome symptoms last weekend. Yanks still played him three more games for some ungodly reason. WTH? Boone was asked if there was any consideration in not playing him: "NO."

    But if they did trade JD last season, a certain segment would have flipped out on how the sky was falling that the BOSTON RED SOX CAN'T BE A POVERTY FRANCHISE that trades its superstars and must always aim for the playoffs when it's only 2 games back. When you're in that position, unless you win the WS, your choice will always be wrong.

    Some posters have no shame.
  5. mvp 78
    That one was definitely a steal.
  6. mvp 78
    If he picked one, it would have been an underwhelming option at best.
  7. mvp 78
    And he's overpaid per FanGraphs. His AAV is 36M, but was only worth 26M last year.

    Wacha and Hill were injured and I agree on those two 100%. I think they shot themselves in the dick when they said they wouldn't trade Xander. They should have traded JD for a low A prospect just to get under the CBT at least. That would have made the comp picks this draft much higher.
  9. mvp 78
    They already declined the club option.
  10. mvp 78
    Ok, are people not allowed to even mention trading a player? I've always said they should hold onto him for the QO, but it's reasonable to have a conversation about the possibility of trading him too.
  11. mvp 78
    I'm not the biggest fan of holding, but it's not the end of the world. There was a MUCH bigger argument for trading last year's assets than for the guys they have this year.
  12. mvp 78
    I think most everyone wanted at least a back of the rotation starter. People saying otherwise are just making an argument for arguments sake.
  13. mvp 78
    With Paxton, there is the option to offer him a QO. It makes sense to keep him. With Duvall, less so.
  14. mvp 78
    They didn't sell and how did it work out? They should have sold last year. They had 3 options this year and I will rank them in order of MY preference: Buy Sell Hold
  15. mvp 78
    What we project and what they put on the field will not match. It's an exercise though.
  16. mvp 78
    This year: 12th percentile chase rate 16th percentile bb rate 29th percentile xERA (xERA has been below 30 since 2020) I don't see Bloom going for that bb rate. He looked good earlier in his career, but has really fallen apart lately.
  17. mvp 78
    It damn well better be.
  18. mvp 78
    I don't agree with standing pat. Should have traded some guys and retooled in the offseason again. Maybe Henry didn't want Fenway to empty out? The bones of this team are much stronger than they were 12-18 months ago.
  19. mvp 78
    Old Red's boy! He's a long time fan.
  20. mvp 78
    Nobody is taking Lugo or Paulino in the Rule 5 draft. The guys that could be taken this year are Bonaci, Ryan Fernandez and other relievers.
  21. mvp 78
    He hasn't had one complaint about "the changes to the game" this year, just about the Sox not playing well. Fair!
  22. mvp 78
    Jansen probably could have brought back an interesting return. Bloom is definitely hesitant to blow it up for some reason. Sox would have been better to deal off more assets in '22 and '23.
  23. mvp 78
    My 93 year old grandfather in law still watches all the games and isn't bothered by the opener. He was just glad they traded that bum Kiké. Some people just need perspective.
  24. mvp 78
    The 2021 Red Sox were much higher in the standings from what I remember. This team hasn't spent a day in first place.

    The wife is going to have quite the earing collection for a few years then!
