    Not even the middle of April.

    IF he's the good version of Paxton.
  3. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Garrett Whitlock is likely to make his 2023 debut on Tuesday in St. Petersburg.
  4. mvp 78
    I agree, they'll be above .500.

    I played in a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us... or they thought we were okay. A lot of death metal bands have intense names, like "Rigormortis" or "Mortuary" or "Obituary". We weren't that intense, we just went with "Injured".

    This team has the same talent as last year's team IMO. The names are different and the talent is spread out a little. Think of how horrendous the pen was.
  7. mvp 78
    And now we're in it.

    Relievers are tied for 6th in fWAR. One of 5 teams to not give up a HR. 5th in FIP.

    Per Mike Andrews: Bryan Mata up 1 to #6 Shane Drohan up 10 to #12 Chris Murphy down 4 to #17 Marvin Alcantara up 10 to #21 Brainer Bonaci down 6 to #22 Luis Guerrero up 4 to #25 Christian Koss up 5 to #28 Chase Meidroth up 6 to #30 Brooks Brannon down 6 to #31 Allan Castro up 11 to #33 Luis Ravelo up 11 to #34 Jedixson Paez down 7 to #35 Johanfran Garcia debuts at #37 Christopher Troye debuts at #39 Phillip Sikes debuts at #45 Alex Hoppe debuts at #46 Andy Lugo debuts at #47 Tyler Uberstine down 16 to #50 Alex Binelas down 16 to #51 Johnfrank Salazar down 17 to #54

    They'll explain Drohan's rise on the next podcast.
  11. mvp 78
    His downfall was blowing it up only to sign Pablo, Hanley and go with whatever that 2015 rotation was.
  12. mvp 78
    If you just put it on a tee for an MLB hitter, it's going to go far.
  13. mvp 78
    You have to. He has the job. Otherwise, you're just packing it in until he's fired.
  14. mvp 78
    A good GM would get prospect that are not "average" for Xander or Betts.
  15. mvp 78
    As always, it's just a wait and see until Memorial Day. No harm in complaining though.
  16. mvp 78
    Will look forward to Speier's next book: KaBloom: How the Red Sox Blew Up Their Historic Franchise...

    I also completely understand why some people have hated Bloom from day one. He has no personality, got hosed on the Betts trade and looked absolutely foolish in 2020. If there was a carry over from 2021 into 2022, maybe there'd be an argument that Bloom is THE guy? Right now, his future is murky at best. Aside from tanking a short season to get Mayer and selecting Whitlock, what has he done?
  18. mvp 78
    I don't know if anyone can really say for sure what Henry is thinking.
  19. mvp 78
    It shouldn't take 10 years. 6 at most. They had enough talent to deal that they could have restocked the farm system early on.
  20. mvp 78
    Look, it's hard to not want to win as many games as possible every year. I get it. I don't fault posters that wanted to try for the playoffs last season. To me, it just seemed like the team was treading water and Bloom's whole plan was to build for the future. Right now, it's unclear how he's building a future? He's hoarding average prospects. I'm not sure that gets the job done. I agree with the theory of what was proposed, I don't agree with its execution.
  21. mvp 78
    @alexspeier The Red Sox are giving up a ton of homers - 12 through 5 games. They’ve noted that the ball is flying at Fenway. But that issue has been made way worse by the fact that their pitchers lead MLB in meatball percentage Great job!
  22. mvp 78
    We've discussed this ad nauseam, I believe. He's following the Ben Cherington trajectory. It depends on if Henry is ok with it. If I'm the owner, I'm not happy with it.
  23. mvp 78
    Even with some one year deals, what will Bloom replace them with? More old starting rotation guys on one year deals?
  24. mvp 78
    Also the adage of "pitching wins championships" since Bloom is allergic to building a rotation.
  25. mvp 78
    Chang was great in the WBC. LFG!!!!
