    Unfair to call them his minions since they came before him and will be here after he's gone. More likely he's just paralyzed by indecision.
  2. mvp 78
    There were a lot of people fretting elsewhere that "Red Sox target signs with Astros." I don't remember him being a target at all??? He just isn't a fit for all the reasons you've stated. And yes, playing the musical chairs game with the pitching staff will not make for a good season in 2023. It's Bloom's bed, he'll have to lie in it. If he has another mediocre offseason and they struggle, he needs to go.

    It's Ronaldo Hernandez. Max hit 181 in Salem with no power. Even if he took a walk, that means very little at that level. His OPS was still only 618. 10 SB's in 50 games in A+ isn't a big deal. His overinflated 51 SB's over 64 games in A can be ignored. Bazardo isn't even in the org anymore.

    Unrelated. The pitcher was signed in 18. Freili was signed earlier this season.
  5. mvp 78
    None of the above.
  6. mvp 78
    Could be either.
  7. mvp 78
    If the Sox did that deal, I'd be worried.
  8. mvp 78
    Not 012?

    On 12/1/19, Bloom had JD, Mookie, Xander, Beni, ERod, JBJ, Vazquez, Moreland, Chavis, Price, Workman, Hembree and Eovaldi. Those guys are all gone now and the only real MLB contributors they have as of today are Verdugo and Nick Pivetta. I think it's fair to expect more than that with such a talent drain.

    He played well in the AFL. He deserves another year before I worry about him. Development is not linear.

    FWIW, SoxProspects doesn't believe Hamilton or Abreu will appear for BOS in 2023. If Hamilton can gain some usefulness in the OF, maybe he can get a cup of coffee even with his dumb flyball rate. Hamilton at least has the speed. Abreu k's too much for his mediocre power. He'll walk a lot, but has too much swing and miss. His SLG went way down after being traded.
  12. mvp 78
    As it should. Kershaw is not a lock to re-sign.
  13. mvp 78
    Yorke was top 100 prior to 2022, right?
  14. mvp 78
    Reporters never really know at this point anyway.
  15. mvp 78
    I know he has the shoulder injury from COL that pushed him to 2B. I think the wrist/heal stuff from last year was most likely just fluky. Will his performance improve? Remains to be seen.
  16. mvp 78
    I think your timeline is off. He was bad in April. Great in May. Not good in June of July. Got injured in middle of July and then was out until August. I don't think it was a lingering injury. When he was put on the IL retro to the injury date, it was to July 12th the actual date he was hit by the pitch and taken out of the lineup. That didn't impact 6/1 - 7/12. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10041938-red-soxs-trevor-story-placed-on-il-with-wrist-injury-connor-wong-recalled

    Story's wrist injury was being hit by a pitch. He was removed from the game and didn't appear again until he was healthy. How did that negatively impact his numbers? The other injury was his heal injury at the end of the season where I've already conceded that his numbers were GOOD. The heal injury didn't negatively impact his numbers. What injury occurred that dragged his numbers down? Or were his numbers just down due to bad performance and adjusting to a new league and lack of Spring Training? I'm not saying something else didn't drag his numbers down, but I'm not remembering what it was.
  18. mvp 78
    League Average OPS: 2022: 706 2021: 728 2019: 758 2018: 728 2017: 750 2016: 739 And if Suzuki had played his previous seasons in MLB, his away numbers would most likely be higher too. Conversely, if OPS continues to remain on the low side as it was league wide last season, we can expect Story's previous seasons to be OVERVALUED and not meaningful when we are comparing to what Suzuki did in 2022.
  19. mvp 78
    Ken Rosenthal says that he expects the Red Sox to improve at the catching position, mentions Sean Murphy, Alejandro Kirk, Danny Jansen and Gabriel Moreno as options. Murphy will be too expensive IMO.
  20. mvp 78
    To me, the injuries didn't impact his perfomance on the field, it just put him directly onto the IL. They didn't drag his numbers down the way it did with Devers.
  21. mvp 78
    Story 642 Away last season. When specifically did the injuries occur that "plagued" his season?
  22. mvp 78
    Is it tied to injury? When did the injury specifically drag down his numbers? You said he got the wrist injury in mid July. He saw no activity from 7/13-8/27. His numbers were bad even before the injury. His numbers were better after the injury. Seems like the time off actually helped his numbers.
  23. mvp 78
    That's almost Seiya Suzuki money!
  24. mvp 78
    It was a joke because you said "my guess is all the ZIPs and other predicting services with give Story better O numbers, too" when Steamer basically projected him to be as mediocre as last year.
  25. mvp 78
    It was a very small sample and I'm not sold that he would do that over 150 games. Would you agree that since he was injured a lot last season that he's likely to be injured a lot this season? He should be "better" but it's not a guarantee. Like I said, he has to show it to me first. As of now, he's just the 2022 guy. I can't assume a bounce back season for a 30 year old guy who left Coors, got injured a few times and generally underperformed except for defense. If his arm was good enough to play SS, I'd be less worried about him.
