    I'm doing my best to not say anything ageist.
  2. mvp 78
    I'm guessing he'll be about 720 OPS with solid defense. 1.5-2 fWAR player.
  3. mvp 78
    A 700 season would be a surprise? He's only had one season below that mark since 2015. In his past 5 years, he's had one 800 season, three 700 seasons and one season below 700.

    ARod's first contract was worth it. I would equate the 250M contract signed over 20 years ago with the monster deals signed now.
  5. mvp 78
    Agree with almost everything except the last sentence.
  6. mvp 78
    If your offense is going to dip down, you can stay at a similar production level by adding defense.

    Even if he replicates 2021 in 2022, he becomes harder to deal since there is less team control.
  9. mvp 78
    That's why you obtain as many as possible. The more you have, the more likely you'll have one pan out. A strong pipeline helps because you can have cheap labor come up to the MLB team so that you can afford more expensive contracts for top tier talent. You can also spin those prospects to other teams to fill a hole on your own.

    1. Bloom values defense. 2. JBJ's value was at a low point after a dreadful 2021 and is likely to rebound somewhat. 3. Bloom values prospects. 4. Hunter was getting to a contract amount where it was likely that his performance would no longer match what he was being paid.
  11. mvp 78
    Ok.
  12. mvp 78
    "We" as in Sox fans, sure. However, I think some other teams have had some fun offseasons recently.
  13. mvp 78
    I think Bloom is also betting on JBJ's glove over the short term.
  14. mvp 78
    How so? What is the compromise that the players need to give? The players haven't been able to even negotiate since they were locked out very early on. I'm sorry Kimmi, but I don't think you've been following this closely enough.
  15. mvp 78
    How? The players are the ones being locked out.
  16. mvp 78
    It's almost unhealthy.
  17. mvp 78
    100 million percent.
  18. mvp 78
    Which is a problem with WAR for sure.
  19. mvp 78
    Seems like it!
  20. mvp 78
    If there was a third version of WAR, I'd look into that too. I'm relatively nondenominational. My statistic preferences are basically Morrissey, I guess.
  21. mvp 78
    I like Fangraphs website more, but I think there's value in using both bWAR and fWAR.
  22. mvp 78
    What about his 1.9 bWAR (100th in pitching)? Whitlock 2.9 Pivetta 2.6 Houck 1.6 (partial season) Sale 1 (only 9 starts) That could be easily replaced by FA Collin McHugh who also had a 1.9 bWAR or Danny Duffy's 2.1 bWAR.
  23. mvp 78
    Is this a knock on our catching depth?
  24. mvp 78
    For Bloom: he didn't want to pay this much, but it's worth it to him if you include the 2 prospects. I'm not sure the prospects have high upside, but in order to have a successful farm system you really need to go with a grab bag of prospects and just bring in any and all talent you can.
  25. mvp 78
    I like Kiké as starting CFer and JBJ as 4th OFer. I think the Sox could find someone relatively cheap to take over at 2b. If Downs didn't have a shitshow season, the roster would be a little more clear. 2b FA options aren't all that thrilling. Maybe they just trying bringing Iggy back.
