    With his history, I'm not sure even trying to manage his innings will make a difference.
  2. mvp 78
    It's cool if he's just in the conversation for what he's gone through.
  3. mvp 78
    They only have one year with Paxton. Why hold back on his bullets?
  4. mvp 78
    And that's probably it before a phantom IL? Hard hit is up to 45% (35 '22). BB% is 9.4 (3.4 '22). xSLG of .514 is bottom 10% in the league. He went from being a control pitcher with no velocity to a guy who walks batters with no velocity. I'm not sure there's upside left.

    Vaz's contract was just way too high IMO. I think his $$$ can be used elsewhere. Mcguire/Wong hitting 8th is decent for what cathers are these days. No complaints from me.
  6. mvp 78
    The rotation would be: Paxton Sale Bello Whitlock Houck Crawford can be the 6th starter if one of them goes down.
  7. mvp 78
    To me, this just means he was a note taker. It doesn't mean he was the guy who came up with the idea. He clearly hasn't put it into practice here. He hasn't brought any Rays guys over.
  8. mvp 78
    Story was horrendous his first two years in the league and then fixed himself. He struggled adjusting to the AL last year. We'll see if he can get that rate back down to what it was in 18-21 (23-26%).

    @redsoxstats Bogey comes into the series hitting .214/.340/.333 over the last month and .254 with a .712 OPS since April 6th. This season he's had a huge drop in out of zone swing% which has him walking at a career best 12% You can increase the sample size a bit more and see that he really had a hot first week and then really hasn't done much since. SLG, ISO, Brl, Hard Hit are all down from '21 and prior. The concerns of a drop in power we saw last year have carried forward.
  10. mvp 78
    My concern is that it's a waste of a bullpen arm if the reliever can't throw again between the appearance. Also, only going through 9 batters each maybe gets you into the 5th innning most days. That's just not good enough.
  11. mvp 78
    We can be thankful they didn't get their number 1 priority Jose Abreu (531 OPS).
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, none of us are in Bloom's brain. We don't really know what he's going to do.
  13. mvp 78
    Bassitt's QO was tough. I can see why the Sox didn't want that. Gausman wasn't attached to a QO that offseason he was a FA.
  14. mvp 78
    Team would look much better if it was Eflin instead of Kluber. Maybe should have offered him more $$$ rather than trying to stay under the cap?
  15. mvp 78
    The 3 HR's that Drohan gave up: Scott Kingery age 29, 1,127 MLB PA's Weston Wilson age 28, 3rd season in AAA Jim Haley age 28, 2nd season in AAA These guys have been around. Drohan is seeing more experienced competition. Time to adjust.
  16. mvp 78
    Right now, he just likes the DFA guys it seems.
  17. mvp 78
    Why compare a HOF pitcher to what the Sox currently have. How is that a fair comparison?
  18. mvp 78
    It's not my fault that you fell into the Dombrowski farm builder comment trope. I think those players are good. I think the Sox development system isn't a dumpster fire like some people believe. Also, don't expect arms to come through the system anytime soon if you look at how Bloom has amassed talent. It's a hitters first org.
  19. mvp 78
    He's had a few extra days of rest. Let's see if he can keep the streak going.
  20. mvp 78
    It's easy to fall into 1970's scout brain. It's just the terminology that has been around the game for a long time.
  21. mvp 78
    Players that have been in the system longer are more likely to be in MLB. Soon, there will be no more DD guys left to promote.
  22. mvp 78
    Selling low on Anthony IMO.
  23. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Per WooSox, Red Sox released RHP Jake Thompson and INF Edwin Diaz.
  24. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe #RedSox announce they optioned LHP Ryan Sherriff to AAA. Opens a spot for Kutter Crawford to come off the IL.
  25. mvp 78
    We'll see. Not having a decent starting rotation in 2023 really hurts.
