    That's your opinion which is fine. I just disagree with the idea that "the Sox signed Story to be SS so he has to play SS." I think the Sox signed Story to play baseball for the Red Sox. If he needs to play elsewhere, you figure it out.
  2. mvp 78
    I guess? I don't even know how much we were expecting out of him.
  3. mvp 78
    Not once moon has also packaged Soler and Garcia together in a trade.
  4. mvp 78
    Teams do get better without outside intervention (see the 2022 Baltimore Orioles), it's just not very likely.
  5. mvp 78
    Kluber was my guy from the beginning, but we'll see.
  6. mvp 78
    That would be after Justin Turner is no longer on the team.
  7. mvp 78
    Story was signed to provide value for the money he's being paid. His defense is BETTER at 2b IMO and provides more value to the team there. It would be a bad baseball decision to move him back to SS.
  8. mvp 78
    I think it's a bad idea. If I was in charge, I would have found a temporary solution at SS and left Story at 2b. I've said this over and over and over since the end of the year.
  9. mvp 78
    Yes, that is my biggest problem with all of it. I'm fully on board with the idea that their "damage control" is just making things worse and alienating fans even more than if they just said "we have a long term plan and Bogaerts was not a part of it at the price he wanted."
  10. mvp 78
    Then you are an idiot. Sorry. It's like a guy who buys a really nice car and never changes the oil or rotates the tires. If you know there is a potential issue with his throwing arm, it makes no sense to move him over to SS just because "we signed him to play there." That's what contingency plans are for.
  11. mvp 78
    Even if Eovaldi makes all his remaining starts and Devers hits like he did pre-ASB, the team misses the postseason.
  12. mvp 78
    A lot of posters on here still thought they had a chance for some reason. If they had traded JD in the offseason or didn't pick up JBJ, it never would have been up for discussion.
  13. mvp 78
    I'm not saying there should or shouldn't be a five year plan, BUT if there was a plan I hope it started back then.
  14. mvp 78
    No.
  15. mvp 78
    I edited out the undesirables.
  16. mvp 78
    Ownership keeps on saying their intent is trying to compete for the playoffs. It just hangs Bloom out to dry if the intent is really something else. Maybe internally, he has their full support and he is strong enough to deal with the target on his back?
  17. mvp 78
    The five year plan should have started in 2020.
  18. mvp 78
    Yup. Until additions are made to the staff, all that happened was subtractions from last year's staff. I guess the expectation is Sale 2023 > Hill 1.8 fWAR Whitlock 2023 > Eovaldi + Whitlock 1.7 fWAR Paxton 2023 > Wacha 1.5 fWAR I can see the first two happening, but I'm not sold on the last. If I had to guess: Bello 3 fWAR Sale 2.6 fWAR Whitlock 2.5 fWAR (starting only) Pivetta 1.5 fWAR Paxton 0.6 fWAR That's already at 10.2 fWAR, which is greater than last year's 8.6 fWAR for the whole staff.
  19. mvp 78
    Thaddeus.
  20. mvp 78
    I think he's just a perfect fit at 2b. I wouldn't move him at all. His defense played up and he may get less wear and tear over there.
  21. mvp 78
    Because of the QO attachment IMO.
  22. mvp 78
    2022: -4 DRS 3.1 UZR/150 1 fWAR If they are signing him, it's to rotate with Arroyo and Story, but Story would be the fulltime SS IMO. Arroyo's 2022 fWAR would be higher if he didn't have to play SS or RF. Iggy 2022: 1.2 bWAR, 118 G, .498 162 WL% Arroyo 2022: 0.8 bWAR, 87 G, .499 162 WL% Per bref, Arroyo and Story offer about the same value. If they sign someone to backup Arroyo (be primary starter in case of expected Arroyo injury), they would probably be LHB.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't think you can really count MiLB contract guys as "additions." The FA market is very barren. At this point, Kluber's price tag can only go up.
  24. mvp 78
    They have actively said that they will not be doing that though?
  25. mvp 78
    I can always just watch the Marlins for free if it's the same product the Sox will be putting on the field.
