When you keep adding PA's, it keeps going down? Interesting! I wonder why?
-
Myers is a better 1b and can play OF. In fact, he has a better DRS at 3b than Dalbec too. Dalbec's OPS last season vs RHP was 754, lower than Myers' .815. Myers is far better baserunner. Dalbec's has a career 1.1 fWAR. Myers has had at least 1.0 fWAR in every season since 2015 except for one season.

Until all the options are selected and QO's offered, it's hard to really shake out where teams actually stand.
-
I think C is a position that you can upgrade on pretty cheaply so I don't think that impacts the budget all that much. I'm not sure I'd add anything to 1B except for a platoon RHB to DH and play other positions a la Wil Myers, Mancini or someone else. If they passed on adding there, it's not the end of the world this season. I think Dalbec as a platoon only against tough LHP is fine at 1B.

I always do.
-
I never said Myers was just the 4th OFer, but go off.
-
If Refsnyder plays like 2022, sure. It's not a given.
-
Gotta play the old hits once in a while I guess...
-
Why not make the OF a STRENGTH rather than just NOT AT HIGH NEED AREA?
-
My plans already included re-siging Xander AND Beni, plus 2 starting pitchers and a closer.
-
Quintana over Wacha? Ok. Quintana over Kluber? IDK. I feel like he's an NL guy. I know that's not really a thing anymore, but... Excluding Kluber's CY-era, Statcast looks at them fairly similarly. Kluber is better with the bb rate. Hard to forecast if Kluber can replicate 2022 or even do better. I take a chance on him again though. Looking at Quintana's Statcast shows 2022 as his high water mark and an out of the ordinary season for him for advanced metrics (xISO, Brl, EV). I'd expect significant regression with Quintana in 2023.

I'm trying to right the wrongs of 2020, 2021 and 2022 by making the OF situation a bit stronger. I think adding a clear closer like Montero and having a full year of Whitlock and Houck in relief would make the pen pretty might. It's more likely Whitlock is used as a cheaper SP option though.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/10/christian-vazquez-eyeing-more-playing-time.html While almost any team could do with a well-rounded catcher like Vazquez, a return to the Red Sox would be something he’d welcome. “I hope so. I’d love it. It was my [house] for a long time,” Vázquez said. “We’ll see how it goes.”

Stanley with Sox 1996: 2.1 fWAR 1998: 0.7 fWAR (partial season) 1999: 2.2 fWAR 2000: 0.1 fWAR (partial season) I'll carry a torch for Mike Stanley if you guys are going to carry one for Refsnyder.
-
Refsnyder has a career 0.2 fWAR. Per fangraphs, 1 win is worth 8.3M in Free Agency. 8.3 * 1.2 = 9.96M, or 10M AAV which is the contract which I suggested.........................
-
Myers is far better than Refsnyder. Refsnyder has a good chance of being DFA'd next season. Keep pumping him up, but he's a AAAA guy.
-
I did say "chance."
-
I didn't mind Mike Stanley when he was here.
-
How is that less versatile? Dalbec hasn't shown he can play OF. Myers can play all 3 OF positions.
-
I throw babyWAR out with the bath water.
-
You're the one saying the Sox have nothing the Mariners would want for a guy with little trade value.
-
And that was with you specifically adding the two years Kluber was injured. Add the 5 years prior where he exceeded 200 innings each year. Wacha has never done that. Kluber threw 164 innings this year. Wacha hasn't thrown that many since 2017!
-
fWAR since 2019 Kluber 5 Wacha 2.3
-
Also, I think a rotation of Sale, Kluber, Bassitt, Bello, Pivetta has the chance to be very, very good.
