  1. You're projecting off a SSS. He's a good player, but he's not a 20M player. If that's what he wants, the Sox should absolutely trade him. If he keeps this up over the next 2 seasons, then it's a different conversation. You don't project an increase in production and pay the player MORE for it.
  2. Ignoring Nimmo's 2022: 2018 - 4.8 fWAR 2021 - 3.4 fWAR Verdugo has never had more than 1.9 fWAR in a season with the Sox.
  3. 4.6M AAV is nothing. That's 2 Ryan Brasiers. The club options of 8 and 10 are probably a good deal too since they gave 16M Jansen and 6M to Martin.
  4. I think Bloom has a number of pitchers on the 40 man he wants to keep and a number of hitters he wants to keep. Not sure he'd DFA a pitcher for a hitter.
  5. Hard times? They've had 9 division titles and finished 2nd 8 times. Seems like a pretty good 20 years?
  6. With the cost of relievers these days, if it goes in that direction, it's not the end of the world.
  7. He can't be a 3 k/9 guy. He's got to be back around 1.5, which is close to what he was last year. He was effective last year with meager velo and walking guys is never a good thing.
  8. 92.7 EV 111.1 Max EV 410 xSLG 406 xWOBACON 4.14 xERA 0% Weak Contact This is Ort/Brasier with better luck.
  9. What about the "if they extend him, he's just going to go back to sucking afterwards" post?
  10. Well, he hasn't had a few good years like Nimmo. He's been a 2 fWAR guy. He's had some good SSS's over the years. I'm enjoying the current ride, but don't expect him to end the season with 6 fWAR or 9 walk off hits.
  11. Someone took their Flintstones Vitamins today.
  12. Also lowballing him for past performance when he wasn't very good.
  13. Verdugo had a -7 in CF in only 300 innings in 2021 you goober. OAA Career (OF): Reynolds 7 Verdugo -5
  14. Nimmo got 20AAV after going to FA. Nimmo had over 14 fWAR through his first 520 games. Verdugo isn't at that level. Verdugo has been a 2 fWAR guy year in and year out. He's been better over a SSS. 15AAV?
  15. Rafaela is the best SS on the 40 man that's not on the IL
  16. You can take about "on pace for 6 fWAR" all you want, but he still only has 8.6 fWAR for his career. Verdugo 540 G 8.6 fWAR Reynolds (1 year older, can play CF) 520 G 13.5 fWAR Contract 8/106
  17. Why would he get a higher AAV than Bryan Reynolds?
  18. He's decent, or at least was at one point. As long as his health has returned, he's not going to be an issue.
  19. Too many walks. If he can't get that fixed, he's toast.
  20. If they extended him, it wouldn't be for 300M. 5/65? Less years?
  21. @billjamesonline The Yankees and Red Sox are both 15-14. Baseball Reference says that the Yankees' chance to make the post season is 68.4%; the Red Sox is 4.8%. The Red Sox September schedule must be REALLY tough, ya think?
  22. Jarren Duran is hitting 5th and playing CF. Where's the outrage for the butterfly man?
  23. I just think we are going to see lots of ups and downs from Sale this season. It should even out after a while, but it will be a bumpy ride.
  24. So the guys that take the money and don't go to FA are what then? Do they not believe in themselves? Raffy doesn't care? Mike Trout doesn't think he'd make enough money if he hit FA? Mookie Betts is just dumb? Nolan Arenado doesn't want to be a winner? Bregman? Altuve?
