I think your timeline is off. He was bad in April. Great in May. Not good in June of July. Got injured in middle of July and then was out until August. I don't think it was a lingering injury. When he was put on the IL retro to the injury date, it was to July 12th the actual date he was hit by the pitch and taken out of the lineup. That didn't impact 6/1 - 7/12. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10041938-red-soxs-trevor-story-placed-on-il-with-wrist-injury-connor-wong-recalled

Story's wrist injury was being hit by a pitch. He was removed from the game and didn't appear again until he was healthy. How did that negatively impact his numbers? The other injury was his heal injury at the end of the season where I've already conceded that his numbers were GOOD. The heal injury didn't negatively impact his numbers. What injury occurred that dragged his numbers down? Or were his numbers just down due to bad performance and adjusting to a new league and lack of Spring Training? I'm not saying something else didn't drag his numbers down, but I'm not remembering what it was.

League Average OPS: 2022: 706 2021: 728 2019: 758 2018: 728 2017: 750 2016: 739 And if Suzuki had played his previous seasons in MLB, his away numbers would most likely be higher too. Conversely, if OPS continues to remain on the low side as it was league wide last season, we can expect Story's previous seasons to be OVERVALUED and not meaningful when we are comparing to what Suzuki did in 2022.

Ken Rosenthal says that he expects the Red Sox to improve at the catching position, mentions Sean Murphy, Alejandro Kirk, Danny Jansen and Gabriel Moreno as options. Murphy will be too expensive IMO.
-
To me, the injuries didn't impact his perfomance on the field, it just put him directly onto the IL. They didn't drag his numbers down the way it did with Devers.
-
Story 642 Away last season. When specifically did the injuries occur that "plagued" his season?
-
Is it tied to injury? When did the injury specifically drag down his numbers? You said he got the wrist injury in mid July. He saw no activity from 7/13-8/27. His numbers were bad even before the injury. His numbers were better after the injury. Seems like the time off actually helped his numbers.
-
That's almost Seiya Suzuki money!
-
It was a joke because you said "my guess is all the ZIPs and other predicting services with give Story better O numbers, too" when Steamer basically projected him to be as mediocre as last year.
-
It was a very small sample and I'm not sold that he would do that over 150 games. Would you agree that since he was injured a lot last season that he's likely to be injured a lot this season? He should be "better" but it's not a guarantee. Like I said, he has to show it to me first. As of now, he's just the 2022 guy. I can't assume a bounce back season for a 30 year old guy who left Coors, got injured a few times and generally underperformed except for defense. If his arm was good enough to play SS, I'd be less worried about him.
-
They are not infallible. Will he really only OPS 738? Seems a little light to me.
-
Do ANY of the high profile guys get signed at the winter meetings? Do the meetings even make a difference anymore? They seem to be more of a relic of the past to me.
-
I guess your point wasn't clear? Must have been a bad post!
-
He came back from the wrist injury and put up 889 OPS, but then missed the last few weeks due to another injury.
-
You forgot to put that in green.
-
Probably Suzuki and I'm not alone on this island. Projections for 2023: Suzuki FGDC/Steamer 3.4/3.5 Story FGDC/Steamer 2.9/2.9 Add to that the longer contract with the higher AAV...
-
It wasn't just "one month." April 596 May 841 June 678 July 659 Unless you mean the "just one month" was the one month he was really good?
-
Attendance peaked in 2007 with 79M fans. From 04-17, there were 70+M fans each season. 2018: 69.6M 2019: 68.5M 2022: 64.5M
-
I think it's fair to say that I need to see it first. As of today, Suzuki is the better offensive player and Story is the better defensive player.
-
It was a whole year of not signing ANY international prospects. That's really bad.
-
I understand, but did they really "mortgage the future"? Seems like they just signed some bad contracts and ownership freaked out?
-
I'm unsure who you are referencing for 2023 so I won't speculate. Mayer will be good. Yorke had a terrible 2022 and still has a lot to prove. Maybe his bat doesn't end up being good enough to drag the rest of his skill set to BOS? Lugo is a 2b/3b who showed zero power until last season. Most likely is just and up and down utility guy and not a regular. If Koss gets extended run in BOS, things have gone horribly wrong. He's not a very good player. Hamilton is fast, but doesn't really do anything else very well. He's ok defensively but has a weird swing for a speedy guy. Binelas was just horrible last season. I couldn't project him making it past AAA at this point. His bat just hasn't handled advanced pitching at all. Ward is most likely getting selected in the Rule 5 draft.
-
Was Story injured at the start of the season? I don't remember. His OPS was below 600 in April.
-
I was more worried about notin's turn of phrase than the Joelyfication of the bullpen.
