    With expanded playoffs, Sox should ALWAYS be close to WC contention at the very least. The rollercoaster we've had since 2011 needs to go away.

    Story could stay healthy and the k's can get a little better, but he has always been a pretty big k guy. The OF was embarrassing this year. We'll see what it looks like going into 2023. Verdugo hasn't taken any big step forward nor should we expect him to at this point. Health from Kiké will be big. Probably need to grab a FA RFer. I don't see them getting a #1 SP in FA. It would be cost prohibitive and the names available all have certain question marks attached to them health/age/consistency.

    I had no idea who Corey Rosier was until notin floated the idea of him being a backup OFer yesterday. Maybe they follow a Christian Koss path and become more memorable next season, but it's hard to see these guys breaking the top 40 anytime soon and zero chance of them breaking the top 20 over the next year.

    I didn't call myself that, it was anointed unto me by the heavens.

    I can't say I expect anything out of Max Ferguson's 620 OPS in A+ and his stolen base rate went from 51 in 64 games in A to 10 in 50 games in A+. He was too good for A, but needs to repeat A+ and see some sort of success there before I pay attention. Ferguson is currently ranked 59 by SoxProspects. Corey Rosier also OPS'd 547 after getting to Greenville. Rosier is unranked.

    You two are the North going and South going Zax incarnate. https://seuss.fandom.com/wiki/The_Zax

    When you go to the store to buy a dozen eggs, do you go into the Express Lane if it says 10 items or less? When I say they treated like a platoon player, go look at the amount of PA's a guy like Mitch Moreland had. He was on the strong side of a platoon. He was not getting Ben Zobrist like PA's. I didn't literally mean that they platooned him based on handedness.

    Bellinger should be a backup.
  9. mvp 78
    Kiké is NOT a utility guy for the Sox, that's for sure. He's definitely a starter here.
  10. mvp 78
    Ok, they treated him as a strong side platoon player like Mitch Moreland then. Less than 500 PA per year is a platoon player.
  11. mvp 78
    The season hasn't ended. He can't sign anyone yet.
  12. mvp 78
    Zobrist also had 599 PA or more 7 out of 8 seasons from 09-16. Kiké has never hit that mark. Zobrist really was a fulltime player that moved around. Kiké was more a backup player that topped out at 462 PA with the Dogers in 2018 before coming to the Sox and becoming a true fulltime player. He was getting the same amount of appearances as a strong side platoon player. I think the Red Sox treat him more like a starter and a Ben Zobrist type than the Dodgers did. Also, the NL game pre-DH allowed for bench players to rack up more appearances over the course of a season.

    If SEA offers him 1/18.5M, he should take it IMO. I don't think he's going to get a really huge deal after another injury shortened year.
  14. mvp 78
    What's a better term for that kind of player then?
  15. mvp 78
    According to Statcast, Nimmo also pulls most of his HR's too and Fenway wouldn't be his preferred location.
  16. mvp 78
    It depends on how much of a pull hitter they are. If they can go the other way and use the Monster, it's no big deal. Bellinger is a dead pull hitter according to Statcast.
  17. mvp 78
    Bellinger's swing is tailor made to die an even quicker death in Fenway.
  18. mvp 78
    Bogey and Swanson will get about the same amount of $$$ IMO. Haniger's contract will be much smaller than Nimmo's.
  19. mvp 78
    He did create the first indoor stadium. I'll give him that!
  20. mvp 78
    Being super is a bad connotation now?
  21. mvp 78
    Oh yeah?!?!? 2021: 2b -5 OAA 2022: 2b -1 OAA
  22. mvp 78
    Didn't lead to a WS ring so it doesn't matter to me in the least. At least Hendu's HR against the Angel's was actually a made for tv moment.

    I'm going to go home tonight and put my 1976 Topps Carbo in my son's bike spokes and then give it to the new puppy.
  24. mvp 78
    Nobody gives two shits about Bernie Carbo anymore old man...
  25. mvp 78
    Let's not start talking about Pittsburgh Steelers QB's now...
