I'm doing my part.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
-
Getting rid of Winckowski already? WTF? At least put him in the pen and see if his stuff plays up. He's only 24.
-
BTV has Adell at 0 trade value, but Downs at 1.1. Adell is younger and can actually hit at AAA. LOL.
-
May have to throw in Jeter Downs too.
-
Chaim should start watching Starship Troopers so that he'll know how to kill the injury bug before it gets out of control next year.
-
I think with the current litigation and a potential sale in the future, it'd be better for that team to NOT sign a large contract like that. Also better for a guy like Judge to NOT sign with a team in turmoil like that.
-
Because he's on the 40 man roster and cheap. I think the Sox move on from him this offseason.
-
I know! I know! It's why I'm not a GM. It'd be hard to not just go crazy on a contract for him.
-
Baltimore is still 24th in attendance even with the good season they are having. I don't know what a contract like that would do to their team long term. Chris Davis was an anchor for them for a decade. They'd probably be too shy to go that route again. Also, that ownership is very cheap and I can't see them wanting to spend the money to move the fences in LF back in for Judge.
-
I'm not so sure. He has a long history of being a fairly reliable late inning guy a la Mike Timlin. I think it would be foolish to throw out a player everytime there was an injury or a downturn. There are enough commenters now saying "why can't Sox get guys like Daniel Bard" and he was wandering the wilderness for 10 years!
-
I think an infusion of HEALTHY talent should help a little.
-
That 27.1 Barrel Rate though... His percentile rankings on Statcast are absurd.
-
Why couldn't the Sox match a 7/200 offer? Same with the Yankees. They have a history of printing money. It's a matter of wanting to keep the player for the money, not being able to. Maybe the other teams would be dumb to sign them for that much? IDK.
-
My hunch is that it's going to be Whitlock in the rotation. I don't think Lopez will be here.
-
If they are even just a middling .500 team going through the motions, he can go away.
-
Others have mentioned dealing from the farm to get a young arm or two. That's probably the best course of action.
-
Not ever unless he gets a secondary pitch.
-
Yes. If the Sox can start churning out young relievers from their farm, it saves a lot of the offseason fretting about which expensive has been they are bringing over.
-
Maybe? I think they need to just give him one role and leave him there for a season.
-
All I'm saying is that he's not a DFA candidate. I think there's meat left on the bone. He probably wasn't a viable closer candidate anyway and was really just a setup guy at best.
-
IMO 2020: He did what he was told to do. 2021: He kept the budget low and was able to add key pieces to get the Sox to the ALCS. 2022: He made some critical errors: JBJ trade, signing several older arms that all surprisingly went on the IL and went over the lux tax when team was flailing.
-
If they won the WS last season, would you be calling for Bloom to be fired this year?
-
Even if he was available for Duran, it was a horrible point for the other guy.
-
From 18-21 (even including his late season skid), he was a guy who generally had a low xBA/xSLG and high K%. His curveball doesn't have quite the bite it used to have, but he's still getting movement on his FB. His velo is down a tick, but that could also just be from missing a lot of time due to injury. I'm looking to him to be more productive next season after a full offseason. I think he'll be a decent 7th/8th inning guy. Since coming back from the IL on 8/4: 18.2 IP 18 K 6 BB 16 H 4 ER 302 BABIP (about career norm) 1.18 WHIP 1.93 ERA 2.48 FIP 4.30 xFIP (since he gave up 0 HR)
