    People thought there was a chance he'd be nontendered only because people in the media had mentioned it. The trade was a bad trade. The vast majority of posters hated it from day one. I really can't think of anyone who said it was a brilliant move and that Hunter would bust.

    He had 12 errors in RF for the Red Sox. By old school standards that's NOT GOOD! That is worse than a prorated Wily Mo Pena 2006 Season.

    @redsoxstats One thing the Red Sox are in desperate need of is pitchers that can put away batters with 2 strikes. Rodriguez was at 23.8% last year, which would have been second on the Red Sox after Schreiber's 24.3%. @redsoxstats The contact made against Rodriguez this year most closely matched Daniel Bard, Jorge Lopez, Kendall Graveman, and Rafael Montero. Walks are going to need to tick back down, but there is a good shot this is more Strahm than Diekman.

    They pulled the plug on the ArRFoyo experiment too soon!

    Crook had 800+ OPS in AAA the past 2 seasons. Likes to k. In his short time in the Cubs organization, Crook has won many fans for his positive attitude and friendly demeanor. (People who knew him in the Reds organization raved about his character as well.) As outlined in Birch’s article, Crook is always willing to sign autographs and take photos with young fans. He does have a price for his time, however: he insists the people he signs for and/or takes pictures with promise to do something nice for someone else in the next two weeks. He’s all about paying it forward.

    Fast and Furious Part 2 @SoxProspects The Red Sox have signed minor league free agent outfielder Narciso Crook spent most of last year in AAA with the Cubs affiliate, getting a very short stint in MLB during which he made his debut.

    Wow, that seems awfully similar to the same reason that the Sox had to dump Renfroe in December 2021: Boston is a SMALL MARKET TEAM with MULTIPLE MLB-READY PROSPECTS that play his position. Evidence for Boston being a small market team: fans can't stop worrying about their owner's checkbook, team forced to cut salary in recent years, reset reset reset. Evidence for Boston having multiple prospects/replacements to take over for Hunter: Cordero 275 PA in 2022, Duran 223 PA in 2022, Refsnyder 177 PA in 2022. Evidence for this post being sarcastic: my previous 54,000+ posts.

    I'm going to re-write the post because you were clearly hit with a cartoonish sized hammer this morning and you currently have birds circling around your brain.

    And the Sox can point to Rendon's vastly superior defense and seasons of 6.4, 5.9 and 5.9 fWAR prior to the signing. Devers has only been above 5 once.

    @ChrisCotillo Full details: 2023- 1.5m salary + 2m in active roster bonuses 2024- 4.25m club option Buyout: 500k Up to 250k each year in performance bonuses for games pitched Total guarantee 2m. Max earnings 8.25m over two years. Strahm was signed for 3M last season. Seems to be what Joely was signed to be. In 2021, Joely's BB rate was close to what Strahm's was in 2022 and we were happy with his performance.

    As always.
  12. mvp 78
    I agree. Those deals usually come at a massive discount.
  13. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Rodriguez is a fine signing. He has pitches that can baffle both RH and LH hitters. Very good at limiting hard contact and barrels. Definitely an arm to work with. Issues: another reliever with major walk issues after stated that was a big problem. Pitched in low leverage spots.
  14. mvp 78
    I understand that part. It's just tough to figure out "how much" to adjust it for.
  15. mvp 78
    We play fast and loose with the rules around here.
  16. mvp 78
    Joely Rodriguez Top 4% in limiting Exit Velo Top 9% in Hard Hit % Bottom 6% in BB Rate xSLG top 16% xISO top 9% xBRL top 3% Primarily a Sinker/Changeup guy. Gets a decent amount of k's and limits hard contact. If he can reduce the walks, he could be pretty good. @ChrisCotillo Joely Rodriguez gets $2M guarantee with a $4.25M club option for 2024, per source. That's a better use of money than Brasier IMO.
  17. mvp 78
    @alexspeier The Red Sox' first free-agent signing of the offseason: LHP Joely Rodríguez on a one-year deal with a 2024 team option. Rodríguez had a 4.47 ERA (3.64 DRA) and 26.4 percent strikeout rate in 55 games/50 1/3 innings for the Mets last year.
  18. mvp 78
    You know what I meant, nerd.
  19. mvp 78
    How do you adjust for that though?
  20. mvp 78
    Mike Trout's best season came after he turned 25. Of his 5 years above 175 wRC+, only one came before he was 25. Matt Olson's best wRC+ full season came after he turned 25.
  21. mvp 78
    Why did they wait until August to adjust? The book on Devers hadn't been out until 8/22? Wild!
  22. mvp 78
    Also, Sox ownership need to provide some Goodwill right about now.
  23. mvp 78
    He had a 170 wRC+ prior to the injury. That's REALLY good. Ortiz only had 2 seasons at 170 or better.
  24. mvp 78
    What age did David Ortiz peak? What age did JD Martinez peak? Xander? Guys get better after they turn 25 all the time. It's very normal.
  25. mvp 78
    We'll see. I'm not going to project a boom in offense prior to 2023. You never know what f***ery Manfred is going to come up with.
