    I said "making a run AT the playoffs." I don't think this team can make a run IN the playoffs. They can't win a series against a good team. They just can't.

    I'm not sure they are going to be able to fall 6-8 games behind that quickly. They are only 2 games back now and there is a 10 game home stretch before the end of July. They would really have to crater for that to happen. Since they haven't made overtures to Xander about re-signing, I assume they aren't going to keep him so I'd sell. I bet they are just going to stand pat and make some minor moves ala Austin Davis/Hansel Robles but a very mediocre bat.

    I would like to DFA COVID.

    Last year they could actually win a series against the AL East here or there.
  5. mvp 78
    I agree. I don't think he's going to sign though.

    Sox have $8.48M to spend. If they give all of the bonus to Roman (about 400K), they have to save about 1.3M elsewhere. Each pick from 11-20 is slotted at $150k. Romero will probably sign for slightly under slot. Maybe 2.6? 400K savings. Brooks Brannon isn't going to sign. That's 150K savings. Rogers/Meidroth would also be way under slot. 500K savings. Pass on signing Caleb Bolden at 200K and you can probably sign the rest of your class. Brooks Brannon is probably not signing though.

    @brendan_camp Thaddeus Ward named Carolina League Pitcher of the Week. Luis Perales named Florida Complex League Pitcher of the Week. Stiwar Adames named Dominican Summer League Pitcher of the Week.

    The 29 AAV just wasn't what he wanted. It's not about the money at that point. He wanted the positioning among his peers He'd rather be the highest paid AAV player over 8 years.

    This team can't beat an AL East team in the regular season. What is going to happen in the playoffs? It's a waste to let these guys walk away for nothing.

    Sale is done for the year. Wacha is out. Hill is out. A good GM needs to weight the options. Is this a team that can win it all? If not, you don't play just to make a run at the playoffs.
  11. mvp 78
    I mean, he chose to not be available for away games at a rival team. Seems like the criticism is warranted IMO.
  12. mvp 78
    Isn't it more important to set yourself up for the future and stock pile your assets in the farm? I thought that was job #1 these days, not just running out the clock because some fans want to see Xander for 2 more months in a Red Sox uni?

    https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/christian-walker-572233?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb I mean, I think he'd try to hit every single pitch over the monster.
  14. mvp 78
    He has 2 more ARB years remaining and could make a good DH candidate or 1B platoon for a LHB if you had a young one of those coming up... He's an older guy with not much upside, but he doesn't present a huge HOME/AWAY split issue like some other guys.
  15. mvp 78
    Grossman has been pretty bad this year. Pham is interesting, but seems to be bad for a different reason.
  16. mvp 78
    Well, once they get Upton in the Snell deal, they should be ok.
  17. mvp 78
    Easier gig than drafting for MLB. "Ahhh, but Keith Law's list of 500 guys had this player 100 spots lower! Bad pick!"
  18. mvp 78
    Myers would get to play out the string and get some more playing time. It is a contract year for him.
  19. mvp 78
    Franchy's last 5 games: 17 PA 0 H 1 RBI 0 BB% 88.2 K% -100 wRC+ (15 K's out of 17 PA's)
  20. mvp 78
    He's definitely trending downwards with xwOBA. He started above water, but it's now like a stock market crash.
  21. mvp 78
    85th Hard Hit 85th Sprint Speed 79th Avg Exit Velo 82nd Barrel % He's still getting putting hitting the ball well... 5th Whiff% 12th OAA 4th K% when he's actually making contact.
  22. mvp 78
    From outside the org? Stewart and Davis aren't great options. Mieses to see if his bat provides some sort of spark? Fitzgerald isn't hitting like April and can't play in Toronto.
  23. mvp 78
    I'm not sure we see German this soon. More likely it's Kelly or Bazardo. Diekman and Valdez are easy DFA's IMO. Nothing to lose there. At least Sawamura and Brasier look ok as 7th/8th relievers.
  24. mvp 78
    Also, we just like talking about this stuff because that bullpen is just underwhelming AF.
  25. mvp 78
    That has never been MLB's trajectory, or for any professional sport. They don't cater to families. It's all about corporations and high dollar seats. Make up the losses with the high end product.
