    3 straight years below 100 WRC+. 101 vs LHP only. Not worth taking that contract on.
  2. mvp 78
    Is Kris Bryant worth 26 AAV? Seems a little high. Chris Taylor at 15 AAV? Seems about right. I would have taken that contract. Avisail Garcia at 13.25? No. Mark Canha at 13.25? No. McCutchen at 8.5? Too high. Want to say it's fine, but his defense is horrible even in LF now. Pham at 7.5? No. His 2021 2nd half stats scare me. Frazier at 1.5? Fine. I guess hope for a bounce back? Pillar at MiLB deal? Yes.

    I'm not arguing that scouts specifically said he was horrible. I'm arguing that they said he wasn't the pitcher they thought he was and weren't seeing him as an MLB starter until his "stuff" came back. I inferred the "horribleness." We had high hopes that he'd help the rotation last year. Now we aren't certain if he can help the rotation this year. He's already 26 and is running out of time.
  4. mvp 78
    I saw a few of his starts but am not a trained scout. Sometimes you have to rely on the opinion of others as they may have more understanding than you do.
  5. mvp 78
    I wouldn't sign Pham for 7.5 either.
  6. mvp 78
    You said his healthy lifestyle was an indicator that he'd have continued health. I just said the better indicator is that he almost often misses significant time during the season. It has nothing to do with what FA will be available. However, FA's that may be a better bet than Eovaldi: DeGrom, Manaea, Nola, Quintana, Syndergaard.

    Xander wasn't a top 100 prospect until he was 20.
  8. mvp 78
    So Bleis has no chance at reaching those levels? That's not what the scouts are saying.
  9. mvp 78
    Koss and Fitzgerald both have shots at getting cups of coffee in the next few years. I like Fitzgerald's skillset. He can play good defense all over the diamond and can hit a little. Could be the next Brock Holt type. Koss is a high floor/low ceiling guy. He's a MIF with some pop. We'll see what he can go at AA this year.
  10. mvp 78
    Were you watching him live or just the scoreboard? The scouts disagree with your assertion on him being good.
  11. mvp 78
    I think you hold onto him for the season no matter what. I just am not as sold on him being an MLB starter as I once was. The scouting reports on him from last year were not good, regardless of what the stats showed.
  12. mvp 78
    A better predictor is that since 2015, he's only had 1 season where he pitched a full year.
  13. mvp 78
    He didn't even pitch a full season in 2020 when it was only 60 games.
  14. mvp 78
    Also, Daniel Flores from the 17-18 class would be 22 today and would most likely be on the MLB roster if he didn't get cancer and die. Guys from 18 IFA like Paulino, Bonaci and Wikelman are all decent prospects but are still far away and two of those guys are still teenagers. You don't expect these guys to just show up in BOS 2 years after signing. The previous 2 years of signings are still high school kids.
  15. mvp 78
    And part of the reasons they "slipped" is that they got caught doing shenanigans and were restricted from signing IFA's for a while.
  16. mvp 78
    I'm not sure he'll ever be a good fit in RF at Fenway. I'd rather have him fake it in CF.
  17. mvp 78
    You going to comment on your boy Seabold or no? I thought he was great now?
  18. mvp 78
    Move Raffy to 1b!
  19. mvp 78
    I guess that's better than going into business with Jordan Belfort?
  20. mvp 78
    Also had 44 appearances over 3 seasons prior to 2021. Akil Baddoo? Or does he not count since he isn't a pitcher?
  21. mvp 78
    Another win for the good guy: Stat Masterson. Still undefeated.
  22. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a ball to left-center for a double. He's consistently hit the ball opposite field this spring - noteworthy after he went from career-high opposite-field usage (27.8%) in 2020 to a career-low 19.8% in 2021.
  23. mvp 78
    BTV accepts Arroyo for Trivino.
  24. mvp 78
    Well, that's the obvious answer.
  25. mvp 78
    I'd take Fitzgerald over Arauz. Fitzgerald can play all over the field at a reasonable level. His bat is better too.
