    2.6 bWAR. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/ramirha01.shtml

    I forgot that Adrian Gonzalez was a Red Sox. Either AGon or Napoli.
  3. mvp 78
    I didn't have Paxton getting 120.
  4. mvp 78
    Yorke could go up with a bounce back year too.
  5. mvp 78
    I think he's going to piggyback at first with Paxton which will reduce his innings. He dealt with an injury last season in his first stint in the rotation. Maybe he just can't stick in the rotation? Maybe Paxton does just enough to stick around in the rotation long enough to keep Whitlock's innings down? IDK. The other 4 I wouldn't hold back on.
  6. mvp 78
    bWAR or fWAR? If I had to guess, maybe Youk? Did Napoli get to 3bWAR?
  7. mvp 78
    I disagree: Kluber Pivetta Bello Sale 120 isn't a really high number. Even frequently injured Michael Wacha got there last year.

    FanGraphs Top 100: Mayer 18 Bleis 20 Casas 29 Rafaela 49 Yorke 102

    Pitch clock will be on for Saturday, not the Northeastern game.

    I'm not all that interested in seeing Houck TBH. He hasn't shown that much to me and I'm not sure what role they are going to throw him in. Casas, Bello and Whitlock should be fun to watch. I'm very interested in seeing what Yoshida can bring this year. Hopeful? The pen should be much better this year and Jansen is a good dude. Having Story out is pretty deflating, but that's on Bloom to figure out.

    @BeyondtheMnstr Oddanier Mosqueda will start for the Red Sox in spring training opener against Northeastern
  12. mvp 78
    The extra money will keep him in a more expensive recovery bubble during downtime so that he's less likely to be injured.
  13. mvp 78
    By virtue of him being given a starting OFer spot for 3 straight seasons, he was able to amass a certain amount of stats. However, if you look at qualified players, he's in the bottom 1/4 of those. In 2022, he was 75th in fWAR for OFers with playing time similar to Lance Thomas of WSH. Seems mediocre enough to me.
  14. mvp 78
    That's not what I said and that's not what moon was saying back before the offseason began. The amount of payroll flexibility was seen as a big plus for bolstering the rotation and bringing in a top of the rotation starter, or at least two starters. There were visions of signing a high priced SS. These things didn't happen.
  15. mvp 78
    Players will never go for that, nor should they.
  16. mvp 78
    Before Opening Day? That sounds on the high side. Before Memorial Day? That's probably 50-60%.
  17. mvp 78
    I think they properly achieved in 2021. I think the core was decent. The only player that really overachieved was Nasty Nate. Now imagine if Bloom had actually added a good SP that offseason!
  18. mvp 78
    And you said they'd have a big offseason this year. They didn't. Stop moving the goalposts for them.
  19. mvp 78
    They aren't signing Ohtani.
  20. mvp 78
    I don't think the other Fenway Sports Group entities get in the way of the Red Sox. If Bloom was left to run things on his own, the Sox may be in a better place. He probably wouldn't have gone over the CBT last season.
  21. mvp 78
    No.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think the Evil Empire stuff came from Henry. I think all that stuff was from Larry and Tom.
  23. mvp 78
    I want Henry to stop railing against Steve Cohen and to spend money like a big market club. Baseball players are expensive. If he doesn't want to pay them and blame the CBA that he agreed on, he needs to finds something else to do. He has never complained about the small market teams pocketing millions of dollars and not paying players or fielding AAAA teams. I'm not sure he really sees what is wrong with MLB today.
  24. mvp 78
    Verdugo is already mediocre. OFer fWAR 2020-22: 16th Mike Yastrzemski 17th Chris Taylor 18th Trent Grisham 19th Whit Merrifield 20th Kyle Schwarber (basically a DH, so loses value) 21st Julio Rodriguez (one year) 22nd Alex Verdugo 23rd Dylan Carlson 24th Myles Straw 25th Jesse Winker 26th Christian Yelich 27th Hunter Renfroe 34th in HR 29th in BB% 37th in ISO 23rd in wOBA
  25. mvp 78
    But he provides such great insight!
