    Plawecki is a solid backup who is well liked in the clubhouse. Wong doesn't have the upside to move on from Plawecki.
  2. mvp 78
    I don't see them rushing Hernandez. We won't see much of him until 2023 when Vaz is gone.
  3. mvp 78
    And sometimes "mediocre" players have intanglibles that don't show up on Baseball Reference.
  4. mvp 78
    No, it's easier to replace mediocre talent with younger guys. I don't think they'll stick with Rich Hill if he falls flat at the expense of Brayan Bello, for example.

    Players have not threatened the season though. The owners initiated the lockout. There was no reason for doing so. They could have written up a one page amendment that would have MLB continuing under the old CBA for a certain time until the new CBA is agreed upon.
  6. mvp 78
    It's an ego thing. Most of the owners are financially independent from the MLB team and don't have to worry about that income. It's just a plaything.
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, lockout will end in Feb/March. Opening Day won't be impacted.
  8. mvp 78
    I think Ottavino should be much cheaper in 2022.
  9. mvp 78
    He's made a ton of "unimpressive" moves. Some of them have worked out well (i.e. Renfroe) and some have fallen flat (i.e. Marwin). It's just the way he does business.
  10. mvp 78
    I don't think Bloom is done adding to the 40 man roster this offseason. He still has work to do.
  11. mvp 78
    Yet, if they can improve upon starting pitchers like Perez, Richards, PEACOCK, et al, AND not have a COVID outbreak in 2022, maybe the margin wouldn't be so slim even if they replace Renfroe with JBJ.
  12. mvp 78
    I would say that casual fans maybe aren't even aware that a lockout is happening.
  13. mvp 78
    I remember JBJ hitting well against HOU in the ALCS. I don't remember Hunter doing that at all.
  14. mvp 78
    That's 4 lefthanded bats. They need someone else to rotate in.
  15. mvp 78
    Presumably.
  16. mvp 78
    Because Rob Manfred hates baseball.
  17. mvp 78
    What did the players do exactly? They got locked out.
  18. mvp 78
    I would be surprised if this gets that far. The owners have a lot to lose too considering that revenue was down 2020-21. The players made too many concessions last go around. I think they do better at standing firm this year.
  19. mvp 78
    On today's SoxProspects podcast, Speier stated that Yorke's defense is getting better and that both he and the organization are working to keep him at 2b. He also said there is no talk of moving Duran back to 2b. The focus is on getting to be a MLB hitter first and reliable fielder second.
  20. mvp 78
    I know about the 97 team. It was weird how Jacko framed it. The Marlins have won two titles when they spent then decided to blow it all up.
  21. mvp 78
    Miami spent in 2003? https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2003-misc.shtml
  22. mvp 78
    And if he doesn't want to play for the measly sum of 5M at that point, he can just retire.
  23. mvp 78
    Sanchez was more valuable last season than Vaz and Plawecki combined. He'd be an upgrade for us.
  24. mvp 78
    McCutchen isn't going to get 10M. He's going to take a substantial pay cut. He's probably a part time player going forward.
  25. mvp 78
    Maybe they envision him starting the year in the rotation and Paxton taking over for him mid year? IDK. I never said I agreed with or liked the signing. Even if he has a large contract, he can pitch himself out of that rotation spot pretty quickly.
