    Bloom might do it. Would JH do it?
  2. mvp 78
    That's what happens when you are in your mid 30's and attached to a QO.
  3. mvp 78
    I wouldn't sign anyone with the QO attachment at this point, but especially not Bassitt.
  4. mvp 78
    Ever since they unloaded Theo and Tito. They have won in spite of the people at the very top.

    When was Acuna's extension? When was Albies? You don't have to go all the way back Longoria to find adequate examples.
  6. mvp 78
    Nope.
  7. mvp 78
    There's no way in hell I'm driving over there this year.
  8. mvp 78
    No.
  9. mvp 78
    Wrong.

    And I think it also had to do with the drop in attendance across MLB. Just wait until this season. The economy is a big question mark so those tickets will be more of a premium item that will be easier to pass on buying. If the Sox continue to be an also-ran, they aren't going to bring in more fans. There isn't going to be more "buzz" around this team considering the entire front office just got pies thrown at them on the last day of the winter meetings. Even if the Sox play wall in April, will the fans come rushing back?

    It's the same thing. You can't separate the 2022 season from this offseason.
  12. mvp 78
    It's the same thing.

    It's their bed, they'll be lying in it. We'll have to see where it shakes out. Maybe they end up looking smart a few years from now? More likely JH goes back to the well and starts paying people again, but that's after all the goodwill has been thrown out the window. Fans don't want to be on this rollercoaster anymore. We've been told that the Sox are going to be competitive year in and year out, but it hasn't happened. They don't keep players that fans want to see. They act like slimy used car salesmen and talk like they are the smartest guys in the room. I'm not sure anyone buys the act anymore. The question is when does it really get ugly for them? And not in terms of talk radio/sports columns, but in terms of apathy or frustration seen at Fenway. I think ownership is insulated from everything else.

    Going back to the 5 aces thing from 2015...
  15. mvp 78
    Why were they still a top 10 MLB team in attendance? Why was their overall ranking similar to 2018 when the team was amazing? Does winning matter or no? Why is attendance down across MLB?

    Also, Matsui was a great ballplayer. I don't think Yoshida is close to that level.
  17. mvp 78
    Fukudome's k/bb rate was similar when he got to MLB. If Yoshida can still bb more than he k's, that's going to provide a lot of value. Yoshida may only be a 10-15 HR guy, but that would still be ok in this league. The Sox big problem recently is not being patient at the plate. This goes towards fixing that.

    They failed in 2022. 100%. 1. They ended the season with a terrible record. 2. They went over the luxury cap. 3. They offered QO to 2 guys that went to FA and others left for nothing. 4. If #2 doesn't happen, the return on #3 is MUCH better than what they will now get. That's a failure IMO regardless of what happens going forward.
  19. mvp 78
    1. Yes, it was luck. 2. We went through this process because you wanted to be disagreeable.
  20. mvp 78
    My guess is that they just don't want to pay for top end talent and just want to spread the money around. Maybe also don't want to be on the hook for really long contracts? I think that's the only justification. I'm not sure I necessarily agree with it though.
  21. mvp 78
    From what we have seen, the most likely scenario is that they do nothing and look stupid next offseason.
  22. mvp 78
    Attendance is down across baseball. Is that Bloom's fault too? Sox are in the same relative spot they have been forever in terms of attendance.
  23. mvp 78
    OPS includes Wacha's BABIP luck. Wacha Career: 298 2019: 313 2021: 312 2022: 260 Wonder where that 36 points came from??? Wacha was hit harder than Kluber. Higher barrel rate, higher EV and an xERA of 4.56.
  24. mvp 78
    What drop? 10th in attendance in 2022. 9th in attendance in 2018. What good does winning do?
  25. mvp 78
    I think the clubhouse leader is Alex Cora.
