    That's not how it works.

    @BaseballAmerica Baseball America's MLB Executive of the Year The @Braves hired Alex Anthopoulos as general manager in November 2017. The club has done nothing but win ever since. How do we get that last part?

    If the Sox hadn't confirmed the Abreu #1 interest story, maybe this would be less concerning?

    @alexspeier Source confirms @chadjennings report: Red Sox thought they’d reached agreement with Zach Eflin on a 3-year, $40M deal, but the Orlando native shopped it to TB, who matched it and signed the RH starter
  5. mvp 78
    Just parkour up to the ladder and make the catch.
  6. mvp 78
    Apparently, the story is that Eflin got the structure of the deal from the Boston and then shopped it directly to the Rays who said "yeah, we'll match it."

    What if they had taken Brusdar and Verdugo instead of Verdugo and prospects? Would fans have been more amenable to that at all?
  8. mvp 78
    The Rule 5 draft doesn't count, right?
  9. mvp 78
    It's a MAJOR signing! I won him! Yeah, mind power!

    Steamer has Walker at 1.4 fWAR in 2023, 150 IP, 4.38 FIP. Pivetta is projected for 1.5 fWAR and most of us consider him the 5th starter.
  11. mvp 78
    How about a DHern update: 12 G: 2.38 ERA 11.1 IP 13 K 5 BB 1.147 WHIP 2.60 k/bb I want to know what the k zone looks like over there.

    Will there be a nice Christmas present to open?

    His HR/9 was nearly cut in half. Best LOB% for a full season. His GB% increased and his IFFB% increased. With the movement away from the shift, will the hard hit ground ball be more likely to get through in 2023? People are teeing off on Walker, but not hitting it in the air ATM. You can like the guys you like and it's fine. I just don't think he's a guy I would trust long term.
  14. mvp 78
    I'd rather them not say anything. All the "oops, just missed" makes them look like buffoons.
  15. mvp 78
    Bloom is practicing patience. Fans are being disciplined.
  16. mvp 78
    Which means it matters when these guys walk out the door. We can't just expect the Sox to be able to fill these big shoes.
  17. mvp 78
    In reference to Devers leaving and Sox fans being left outside in the rain again, notin said "well it depends on the other moves made." I followed up with the question about what replaced Mookie. If these guys are leaving, what are these other moves that are making up for the loses? As of now, I don't see the benefit of letting guys like Mookie, Xander and Raffy leave. The Sox haven't shown that they've been able to adequately replace their value through other means.

    2020: Verdugo 2021: Renfroe 2022: JBJ 2023: ???

    Casas is already hitting bombs in BOS. He OPS'd 768 in his first taste of MLB even though his BABIP was 208. Bleis is still far away. He needs another year to really pop on lists IMO.
  20. mvp 78
    Puerto Rican Winter League is a pitcher's league. OPS there is 594. There are a lot of AAA pitchers and up and down guys. In comparison, the OPS for the AFL was 771.
  21. mvp 78
    Lugo is also playing for Caguas. In 22 G: 754 OPS 325 OBP 4 HR 25 K 5 BB
  22. mvp 78
    Yeah, I don't remember anyone saying it'd be a tank year. People just didn't assume they'd go on the run they did.
  23. mvp 78
    I mean, Eflin literally picked the team closest to where he lives. I can't fault him for that. Even if they said "we'll give you an extra 1M" he may have passed. No reason to overpay, just find the next guy.
  24. mvp 78
    When looking at his underlying metrics, I think his future potential is closer to a 5th starter. Bottom 25% in Hard Hit and EV. Bottom 33% in K and whiff. Nearly all of his metrics are bottom 50%. His only decent rate is bb% which is still just top 39th percentile. Not great. I think he's well below average.

    @MLBPipeline Ceddanne Rafaela picked a good night to break out. The No. 3 #RedSox prospect hit his first homer, doubled and knocked in 4 runs in @LBPRC action. In 17 G: 767 OPS 377 OBP 1 HR 14 K 8 BB While his slugging is down, because he's actually taking walks for once, he's getting on base at a higher clip than he did in A or AA this year.
