His "injury plagued" 2021 was a 3.5 fWAR season. Sounds pretty good to me.
-
I disagree. I think Mookie will be able to produce for a lengthier period.
-
Well, yeah.
-
I spent the last two weeks in the real world on vacation with my family. It was horrible. Advanced stats is where it's at.
-
I don't remember too many people being up in arms about Ellsbury. I think we all knew the injury concerns and it played out that way. Manny forced his way out of town. Sox couldn't prevent that. We were all more mad at Manny than the Sox. I'm not sure either of those statements have changed over time.
-
Betts' 150 wRC+ would look good in RF this year.
-
Wow, I should give him a cookie. I wonder how much lower his leverage was before last night...
-
Valdez/Sawamura/Brasier/Davis/Ort(older than Danish and Davis) Taylor is struggling to come back from injury. No way do they DFA him?
-
The only reliever in the BOS pen with a lower leverage index is Phillips Valdez with 0.31 and that guy would constantly be buried on the bench. Cora straight up is scared to use Sawamura in any important situations. Cora preferred to go to Barnes/Brasier/Robles/Danish/Diekman/Davis all year long. If you are a low leverage guy, shouldn't your numbers be pumped up a little?
-
Cora only uses him as a low leverage guy 0.66 gmLI Because he can't trust him -0.13 Clutch 4 ShutDowns 6 MeltDowns

Fisk/Lynn was an embarrassment. Burleson didn't ultimately matter as he wasn't good after leaving. Boggs should have retired a Red Sox, but they were El Cheapo then. Pedro was my favorite, but I understood why they let him go. He really only had 2 more years left in him at best. Manny forced his way out of town. Sox filled Damon's shoes just fine. Ellsbury got paid and hit the DL just as we expected. It all worked to plan.

All radio show callers are Johnny from Burger King.

Betts, Raffy and Xander should have been lifers. Everyone else could have come and gone. It wouldn't have mattered.
-
And I look forward to having the same conversation next year. "It's just a shame they lowballed Raffy. Too bad they are close to a playoff spot this year and can't deal him. Maybe they can re-sign him or use the payroll savings to sign someone similar."
-
Yes, OR is just saying there's a benefit to being a division winner (3rd best) or the best WC as you get home field advantage in the WC round.
-
Make the regular season 150 games.
-
No, but they'd have guys on expiring ARB deals.
-
Johnny from Burger King is a mythical figure as made up as "Red Sox Nation." At least on here we can point to specific people and guess as to what each person would think.
-
I liked the last two lines, personally. I was just being silly. There is no more play in game, correct? The first round is best of three. Division Series is best of five. ALCS is best of 7. Therefore, WS should be best of 9.
-
C'est la vie. It is what it is. Oh well. What could have been done? No biggie.
-
So what you're saying is that since there are MORE Wild Card teams, that there is a better chance that the WS winner will be a Wild Card team and that if the best Wild Card team is the Boston Red Sox that they better get the duck boats ready?
-
Tampa wouldn't let a good expiring contract go to waste like this.
-
Old Red said people on here wouldn't mind though?
-
Maybe? He's been terrible this season. Franchy/Kiké platoon at 1b until they trade for someone? The Casas injury was a real kick in the dick.
-
I can't worry about what Johnny from Burger King thinks.
