    Why? Also, if you really cared about this player, you'd know that he doesn't like "Thad" and wants to be "Thaddeus" going forward.

    Run: Plus-plus speed. As he has filled out, speed has decreased a grade. Will run 3.95-4.05-second times to first from the left side and 4.12-4.15 seconds from the right side. In the past, speed graded an 80, timed at under 3.9 seconds to first from the left side. Even with a slight speed downgrade, he will put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses. Always looks to take the extra base. Very aggressive. Baserunning instincts, reads, and jumps need improvement. Stolen base numbers are not representative of his true speed.

    I think Santos is more likely to be selected than Feltman since he still has starter upside. I really doubt Jimenez gets selected. If he didn't take a step backwards this year, it'd be more likely.

    Jimenez's defense regressed this year. His speed also ticked down a notch. He's a switch hitter with two vastly different swings. He's slappy from the left side, which doesn't play well in higher leagues. He has a cleaner swing from the right side, but just can't hit lefties. Feltman could be selected, but I'm not sure it's a big loss for the team. If they thought he had a chance to be on the opening day roster, they would have put him on the 40 man.

    TalkSox did a pretty good job projecting the 40 man selections. If a team selects Ward, he'll burn an option year in 2022. Then he'll have to stay on the active roster for 90 days. At that point, you'd burn another option year to send him down to AA/AAA. His first full year of being off training wheels would be 2024 and he'd only have one option to go. He's on the older side and would be low on options. Would make more sense for a team to wait a year before trying to acquire him.

    Big drop off after Bello. Mayer and Casas are clear best in show. If Yorke was a better defender, he'd have a higher value. There are reports that he may not stick at 2b long term. After that, it's just a bunch of $2 lottery tickets.

    That was my initial thought too. They could have just added another name or two and DFA'd the guys we don't like when it comes time to adding a FA. However, they probably had internal discussions that said Ward/Jimenez were unlikely to be picked in Rule V so they determined it was more value to have open 40 man spots than protecting those guys. With Feltman, I think they just see him as a middle reliever at best. Guys like that come and go.

    Your math is off. Unless Baez had a 9.7 fWAR season that I don't see.
  9. mvp 78
    Baez only has 1.6 fWAR more than Taylor over the last 5 years. If you prorate 2020 out to a full season, Taylor has a higher fWAR.
  10. mvp 78
    Santana made no errors. His UZR in the OF was good.
  11. mvp 78
    I don't even want to pay Baez 20AAV.
  12. mvp 78
    I mean, it's better if Bloom holds out until the last minute and is actively shopping guys he won't protect.
  13. mvp 78
    Can to terms with the fact that the Sox won't make any moves until after I leave work.
  14. mvp 78
    For Taylor: MLBTR and Fangraphs projections are all in the 4/60-64M range. That money seems fine.
  15. mvp 78
    “Baez should get at least $160M, probably more, Taylor may be the best fit for Boston, so I’m looking at maybe Taylor to the Red Sox and the Cubs and Mets more likely for Baez.” - Jon Heyman on MLB Network

    During the taping of one of the Sox clubhouse celebrations this year, David Ortiz said on ESPN (in reference to Betts and others leaving the Sox and the Sox turning it around quickly and general team comradery) "I'm not a believer in the importance of the guys who leave, it's about who you bring in." That really struck me.
  19. mvp 78
    0.00% chance.
  20. mvp 78
    You just proved my point. Just get him one time through the order!
  21. mvp 78
    I'm not advocating for Marwin to come back. I'd take Iggy over Pinder.
  22. mvp 78
    My dad loves the Moody Blues. I prefer https://pindersnursery.com/
  23. mvp 78
    Sounds better than Perez/Richards.
  24. mvp 78
    Duffy is really good first time through the order. Maybe turn him into Houck.
  25. mvp 78
    I'd take Matz, Graveman and Iggy over ERod, Richards and Marwin.
