    And soon there is complaining singularity.

    AKA People that need help from a little blue pill.

    How is dWAR calculated for catchers? His framing isn't great (0 Framing Runs). He had that passed ball last night (0 Blocks Above Average). Aside from pop time and caught stealing %, what makes him a great catcher?
  4. mvp 78
    I believe he was more of a knife, axe, sword guy. His shop appears to be down now.
  5. mvp 78
    Yup. Judge is more likely to stay healthy than Stanton or Rodon, but isn't the safest bet in the world.
  6. mvp 78
    Well, yeah, they are the only two guys that have been able to start 6 times. If Houck throws 3.1, he'll match them next time out in his 6th start. Pivetta needs to go 4.2 in his 6th start.

    @jcmccaffrey Paxton has another start for Worcester on Friday. His IL stint ends May 8. He’s coming off a strong start but overall his command has been spotty as expected with a two-year layoff. Sounds like they want to keep him as a starter but obviously will have rotation decisions soon Pivetta has a stay of execution for now.

    @ChrisCotillo Jansen probably unavailable for the Sox again today. Whitlock is undergoing more testing today.
  9. mvp 78
    You must have put a certain special someone on ignore.
  10. mvp 78
    If Houck is in the pen, he's a one inning guy. Also, no harm in having versatility.
  11. mvp 78
    Crawford would be demoted first. Who knows what the outlook on Whitlock is? Somewhere between 10 Day IL and TJS2.
  12. mvp 78
    Crap shoot.
  13. mvp 78
    Nah, he's here because he was kicked off a Yankees messageboard because he was too negative.
  14. mvp 78
    They are the new Houck and Whitlock. Just leave them alone IMO.
  15. mvp 78
    Koss is supposed to be decent if you're just going to throw someone at the wall before hitting a legitimate prospect.
  16. mvp 78
    And he's been an injury risk ever since. The question is: is it safer to keep him as a starter or put him in the pen? Is there even a difference?
  17. mvp 78
    Crawford: SP - 8.00 ERA RP - 1.17 ERA
  18. mvp 78
    1. That was moon specifically. 2. Now that Verdugo has taken off the muscle and has worked on his athleticism, he's looking a little better. 3. Duran has been ok. 4. Whitlock needs to be given a real chance to start or just needs to be thrown to the pen permanently.

    German in AAA this year: 12.7% K 7.2% BB 7.15 ERA Diekman in MLB this year: 8.74% K 10.32% BB 7.94 ERA Theo Denlinger in AA (traded for German): 11.3% K 0.9% BB 0.87 ERA
  20. mvp 78
    White Sox: Jake Diekman and righty Franklin German were designated for assignment
  21. mvp 78
    Ottavino: 69 Appearances, 62 Innings Whitlock: 46 Appearances, 73 Innings While he may have pitched MORE innings, I think the reduced appearances and additional days of rest was an easier workload especially in the early part of the year when he only appeared in 5 games in April and 6 in May. He had the repertoire to pitch multi-innings and that's how he was used.
  22. mvp 78
    Valdez is horrible at 2B, so at least Hamilton has a potential home there at some point? Maybe? IDK. They don't seem inclined to want to bring him up.
  23. mvp 78
    Yeah, dude. He wasn't super healthy in the postseason and had finished the season on the IL. He pitched well in the postseason, but was nursing an injury (pectoral) if you remember and his k rate was way down. Got really lucky with the BABIP (095). Early in the year, they went out of their way to put several days (3-5) in between his appearances. He didn't pitch in back to back days until September and only did so once. Went on the IL a week later.
  24. mvp 78
    Well, he wouldn't make any overthrows to 1B. They'd just bounce a few times. Field: Poor footwork and range and does not look comfortable at shortstop. Has a tendency to rush plays and has trouble fielding the ball on the run. At second base, is a bit robotic and only shows average hands. Footwork is sloppy there as well and it is unclear if he can stick there long-term. Speed and athleticism might be best suited for center field, where he has played a couple times in 2022. Potential below-average defender.
  25. mvp 78
    I'm not sold that switching him to a reliever will fix that. He wasn't the picture of health at the end of 2021 and that was with a season of babying him between appearances.
