    I'm not saying there should or shouldn't be a five year plan, BUT if there was a plan I hope it started back then.
  2. mvp 78
    No.
  3. mvp 78
    I edited out the undesirables.

    Ownership keeps on saying their intent is trying to compete for the playoffs. It just hangs Bloom out to dry if the intent is really something else. Maybe internally, he has their full support and he is strong enough to deal with the target on his back?

    The five year plan should have started in 2020.
  6. mvp 78
    Yup. Until additions are made to the staff, all that happened was subtractions from last year's staff. I guess the expectation is Sale 2023 > Hill 1.8 fWAR Whitlock 2023 > Eovaldi + Whitlock 1.7 fWAR Paxton 2023 > Wacha 1.5 fWAR I can see the first two happening, but I'm not sold on the last. If I had to guess: Bello 3 fWAR Sale 2.6 fWAR Whitlock 2.5 fWAR (starting only) Pivetta 1.5 fWAR Paxton 0.6 fWAR That's already at 10.2 fWAR, which is greater than last year's 8.6 fWAR for the whole staff.

    Thaddeus.

    I think he's just a perfect fit at 2b. I wouldn't move him at all. His defense played up and he may get less wear and tear over there.
  9. mvp 78
    Because of the QO attachment IMO.

    2022: -4 DRS 3.1 UZR/150 1 fWAR If they are signing him, it's to rotate with Arroyo and Story, but Story would be the fulltime SS IMO. Arroyo's 2022 fWAR would be higher if he didn't have to play SS or RF. Iggy 2022: 1.2 bWAR, 118 G, .498 162 WL% Arroyo 2022: 0.8 bWAR, 87 G, .499 162 WL% Per bref, Arroyo and Story offer about the same value. If they sign someone to backup Arroyo (be primary starter in case of expected Arroyo injury), they would probably be LHB.

    I don't think you can really count MiLB contract guys as "additions." The FA market is very barren. At this point, Kluber's price tag can only go up.
  12. mvp 78
    They have actively said that they will not be doing that though?
  13. mvp 78
    I can always just watch the Marlins for free if it's the same product the Sox will be putting on the field.
  14. mvp 78
    DD shouldn't have extended an injured Sale. Chaim shouldn't trade Sale if the expectations are that the Sox are trying to compete in 2023.
  15. mvp 78
    It was dumb to limit the return then, it would be stupider to do it now especially when the Sox are well below the lux cap.
  16. mvp 78
    His upside is 0.5-1 fWAR? You could say his upside is 2019 Chris Sale which was 3.6 fWAR or about 28.8M.
  17. mvp 78
    If the Sox have to take on half of the salary, I'd just take the risk and hold onto Sale. If you trade him, you won't have even an outside shot at a full rotation at this point.
  18. mvp 78
    If his bat is good enough, I don't care about his bad d in LF.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't believe the Colombian League is a strong winter league, but it's good to see him find success.
  20. mvp 78
    Part of the issue is that arms typically take a longer time to develop than bats. We'll see if his guys develop.
  21. mvp 78
    If anyone would jump above Romero, I'd bet on a pitcher like Perales, Wikelman or ERC. Even if Walter starts strong in AAA, he's more likely to just get promoted to MLB and lose eligibility than jump above Romero IMO.

    My son would have me arrested for animal cruelty.
  23. mvp 78
    Well, that wraps up those two storylines.
  24. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Eric Hosmer has been released.
  25. mvp 78
    @RedSox INF Jeter Downs today was claimed off waivers by the Washington Nationals.
