    Well, that will never be the case. Whenever someone leaves the Sox, you only get the pro-Sox POV. Tito Theo Farrell Dombrowksi All were dragged once they left. Cora and Bloom will eventually be dragged too. It's how this ownership works. It's why they bought the Globe.
  2. mvp 78
    Would that be Bloom's fault or Henry's?
  3. mvp 78
    That's quite the 1-2 punch. It's like running Manny/Ortiz out there again. If the owner is ok with going over the lux tax, I'd do it. I'd be more confident in Judge than some of the other FA's out there. Hard to say "yes" when I don't know what the final $$$ amount is. My interest is piqued though.

    Dingleberry Dave.
  5. mvp 78
    All I really want them to do is DFA Brasier. It's time, Bloom.
  6. mvp 78
    Not a big surprise. Maybe keeping McGee and Reed around a little longer to get a better look at them? IDK.
  7. mvp 78
    Well, I'd rather Xander AND Raffy combined than Judge.

    Desperate Dave Dombrowski move. I'm not against it.

    Bradley as a player is fine for the Red Sox. The salary was too high. The trade was silly. Having him on the roster isn't an issue if you are just burying his bat 9th. Diekman's FIP every year prior to 2021 was under 4 except for 2017 when he only pitched 10 innings. I think he looked at Diekman and thought 2021 was just a down year and that he could bounce back. Seems more like his career is just coming to a close. There's a whole lot of red on his Statcast page prior to 2021. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jake-diekman-518617?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

    Hard disagree. DHern: 85.1 IP 14.03 K/9 72.4 LOB% 4.31 xFIP 0.0 fWAR Valdez 86.2 IP 8.10 k/9 64.0 LOB% 4.74 xFIP -0.1 fWAR

    @TurnerGivens The Mariners could have possibly found the next Luis Castillo. His name is Phillips Valdez. (Claimed off waivers from the Red Sox in July) Aside from some size (40 lbs) & velo differences (3 mph on FB/SL), the similarities in mechanics & pitch metrics are promising. There are some deeply unserious people in this world.

    I wouldn't have him as a primary DH. I think you could spread it around between Dalbec, Arroyo, Refsnyder and Hosmer. I don't think they would necessarily do a "platoon" DH, but more of a timeshare amongst a lot of guys or when they want to give a position guy a day off from the field.
  15. mvp 78
    I believe they wanted him a few years ago and he decided to stay with the Astros. I'm not sure he'll wind up being truly available.
  16. mvp 78
    I'm not opposed to them throwing Duran back at 2b. Time is basically running out for him. He just turned 26. They need to try something else with him. OF isn't working. I don't think Hosmer is a great option. I just think he's cheap and is "pull in case of emergency" if something happens to Casas. Dalbec is probably a platoon only bat going forward.
  17. mvp 78
    I get why people don't like DHern. However, he's a guy that if he just figures it out a little bit, he becomes a late inning arm. He's got much more remaining potential than a lot of the other names on the list.
  18. mvp 78
    What people like jung are upset about are analytics being shown to them on their tv screens. If NESN focused less on it and Bloom focused more on it, jung would probably be happier.
  19. mvp 78
    Seeing that the root cause of this terrible year was injuries, I'm not sure how anyone can point their fingers at data analysis as being a problem.
  20. mvp 78
    To me, Hosmer is more likely to provide value than Ronaldo Hernandez, Jeter Downs or Yu Chang. I don't see why they'd DFA him prior to Spring Training. He's cheap and decent injury insurance.
  21. mvp 78
    Cordero 1b: -4 DRS -19.2 UZR/150 -8 OAA Calling Cordero "versatile" is a stretch greater than what he can do when Raffy is throwing the ball over to him.
  22. mvp 78
    Not the Red Sox offer, that Mookie's statement was just for PR. That he really didn't want to stay in Boston no matter what. I personally have no idea what Mookie would have done. I just wish the Sox did counter and then our arguments would at least have a little more teeth and less conjecture.
  23. mvp 78
    Cordero has NO trade value. As I said above, he's been DFA's numerous times and has yet to be claimed. If someone wanted him, they could have grabbed him for free. Why trade for him? I think Darwinzon has more trade value than Danish, Cordero and maybe Ort. Of the list, Hosmer is the least likely to be DFA'd unless they bring in another 1b somehow.
  24. mvp 78
    Cordero has been DFA'd numerous times and has never been claimed. I would just keep doing it.
  25. mvp 78
    Maybe as a Rule 5 pick for another org.
