    He'll be good 5 years from now. It's not like we're talking Ellsbury here.

    I don't think Swanson would be much cheaper than Xander. We'll have to see though. Lugo has already being transitioned off SS to 2b and 3b.
  3. mvp 78
    He's probably not going to ever have another 10 fWAR season. However, he needs to average 5 fWAR for 8 years and then have 2 years where he's a flat zero for the contract to be fine.
  4. mvp 78
    He was slumping going into the playoffs? Since 9/23: 160 wRC+ The worst you could say is he had a 97 wRC+ over the final 4 games of the year.
  5. mvp 78
    The only thing the Sox can do at that point is overpay Judge.
  6. mvp 78
    I'm not sure the Sox have a viable Jeremy Pena option right now. If Mayer was 2 years older, sure.

    Will Boras have Xander opt out during the 9th inning of the World Series a la ARod? That would be a nice 1990's wrestling heel turn. "It was me all along, Boston!" Say it ain't so Xander... but alas it was so.

    Looks like Verlander got his first playoff win last night. Good for him!
  9. mvp 78
    Yes, it's why Kiké gets paid 10M.
  10. mvp 78
    When you keep adding PA's, it keeps going down? Interesting! I wonder why?
  11. mvp 78
    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.
  13. mvp 78
    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.
  14. mvp 78
    I always do.
  15. mvp 78
    I never said Myers was just the 4th OFer, but go off.
  16. mvp 78
    If Refsnyder plays like 2022, sure. It's not a given.
  17. mvp 78
    Gotta play the old hits once in a while I guess...
  18. mvp 78
    Why not make the OF a STRENGTH rather than just NOT AT HIGH NEED AREA?
  19. mvp 78
    My plans already included re-siging Xander AND Beni, plus 2 starting pitchers and a closer.
  20. mvp 78
    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.
  21. mvp 78
    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.
  25. mvp 78
    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.........................
