    Red Sox DHs have a 626 OPS this year. Even though Devers has struggled, he'd be better than the slop we have now.
  2. mvp 78
    Left the timer on too long.
  3. mvp 78
    Do you still need help finding his OBP?
  4. mvp 78
    Pitching and defense didn't work this year. What if they tried to buy bunting and stolen bases this offseason? 🤩
  5. mvp 78
    I've said going back to the offseason that Contreras would have a higher fWAR than Alonso. If they were to acquire both and put Alonso at DH, fine.

    Is Crochet coming back as soon as Skubal is?
  7. mvp 78
    He is dealing with a foot problem so I think they are intentionally going easy on him.

    Why are the Tigers trading their starting 1b when they are actually in the playoff hunt and Skubal is coming back?
  10. mvp 78
    I don't think anyone believes he's a magician. Pitchers have left and improved. Sox are just tweaking guys and adding velo. There's no secret sauce.

    Give Early the rest of the season this year and his fWAR will look like Bello's previous few years. Bello is a back end starter, which you said "was perfectly fine for him to settle into at 9M." If it was fine for him to be paid as a back end guy at 9M in 24, why dump him now? He's been a guy that you can rely on to be out there just about 30 G every year unlike the majority of pitchers. Everyone is NOT healthy and Gray will not be returning next season. I'm also not sold on Jake Bennett as a starter. I think the rotation is Crochet/Suarez/Tolle/Early/Bello. We've seen Bello be successful this season. The Sox just have to unlock whatever is going on with him.

    I think Bo has an opt out and he'd be pretty crappy at Fenway IMO. He doesn't pull the ball and has a high GB rate. Can't have a high $$$ guy like that putting up years like 24 and 26 TBH.

    I can't believe Devers told everyone that Breslow needs to start doing his job... I'm just getting word in that Breslow has in fact not been doing his job for the past 15 months or so... Tough look in hindsight.
  14. mvp 78
    But he was a 💃! Can't be having a guy wearing headphones in the clubhouse like that!
  15. mvp 78
    Anyone that isn't employed by the Red Sox you mean?

    Leiter stinks, but so do the Sox. Gives up a lot of barrels and HRs, but should be safe at Fenway vs the linguini club.
  18. mvp 78
    He means Ryan Ward for LAD. I wouldn't trust PCL numbers though!
  19. mvp 78
    They haven't been able to move Duran yet. No reason they'll be able to now.
  20. mvp 78
    Getting Murphy would barely move the needle on offense while giving up on a young pitcher who has a cheap, cost controlled contract. Crazy.
  21. mvp 78
    He was 53rd out of 106 qualified starters in fWAR from 23-25. If that's not quality, I don't know what to tell you. Is he a #2? No! He's fine for a backend guy, which is just what posters were telling me was fine for his dumb extension. He's underpaid! He's actually a bargain! I've been told that hundreds of times on here. You've made that argument. Now you want to dump him because he's not pitching well for a few months? Crazy. Barely more fWAR than Early? Include Early's numbers from this year and they still don't add up to Bello's fWAR from last season.

    Breslow knew power was a problem going into the offseason and wasn't able to do anything about it. He pivoted to a pitching and defense team. Why? The spreadsheet didn't account for the home games being played at Fenway Park! 🤓
  24. mvp 78
    Bello struggling for 2 months shouldn't be a reason to give up on him. He's been a quality starter for the past few years. If the pitching dev can't fix him, than Breslow, Bailey, et al really are lost.
  25. mvp 78
    With Catcher, I'm fine with a good glove guy TBH. Narvaez was fine! What's the big deal? Fix MIF! Make sure Durbin can actually hit! Maybe move him to 2b and find a power bat for 3b? DH?
