    If your argument is only "here are the bWAR numbers" you got nothing. Past 3 years: Ryan - 467 IP, 10.35 k/9, 1.85 bb/9, 3.85 ERA, 3.64 xFIP, 8.6 fWAR (22nd in MLB) Singer - 509 IP, 8.24 k/9, 2.88 bb/9, 4.39 ERA, 4.04 xFIP, 7.3 fWAR (34th in MLB) Kelly - 435 IP, 8.62 k/9, 2.81 bb/9, 3.51 ERA, 3.83 xFIP, 6.9 fWAR (36th in MLB) Singer's line is a lot closer to Kelly's than you are letting on.

    They'd have more room for FA acquisitions and wouldn't have to dump players to get him into the rotation.
  3. mvp 78
    No.
  4. mvp 78
    Who?
  5. mvp 78
    For all of the great things Bloom did, there were equal and opposite terrible things (not protecting Ward isn't at that level, but it was a curious decision for sure).
  6. mvp 78
    Doesn't pull the ball enough.
  7. mvp 78
    Brady Singer is not on par with Joe Ryan. Singer is at the Merrill Kelly level.
  8. mvp 78
    The President of the American League, Ban Johnson.

    They had to trade their franchise player because they couldn't afford him. 🫠
  10. mvp 78
    Some bingo hall probably.
  11. mvp 78
    You don't like 959 OPS vs LHP I guess?
  12. mvp 78
    Schwarber's swing is also tailor made for Citizens Bank Park (31.1% pull AIR, 128 LHB HR park factor). It wouldn't work as well at Fenway (87 park factor).
  13. mvp 78
    Most likely. Ward was in all the reports ahead of the draft as a guy that was going to get selected early on. It was a surprise when he wasn't protected or traded ahead of the deadline.

    If Rafaela was there, it would have turned into even more runs. Probably would have bounced off his head and into the stands. It's why Rafaela should be in RF and not CF. Come to think of it... they do need a 2b...
  15. mvp 78
    IF they signed Polanco for 3B, it would just be a Mayer/Romy platoon at 2b.

    Also, it's very hard to project bumps for DSL pitchers heading stateside, so I was staying away from those guys (see: Dalvinson Reyes '24 vs '25).

    If you like Brandon Neely, you should see the ridiculous clip of him getting tossed from game at UF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm_ewpSg41Y Hard to really know what to think about Neely and Phillips yet as we haven't seen them (AFL doesn't count). Phillips seems to be a high variance guy. Neely could just be a reliever. I like both of them though.

    Keeps the Sox in playoff contention, but nothing more.

    2025: Ryan - 171 IP, 10.21 K/9, 2.05 bb/9, 3.42 ERA, 3.70 xFIP, 3.1 fWAR Giolito - 145 IP, 7.51 K/9, 3.48 bb/9, 3.41 ERA, 4.59 xFIP, 2.0 fWAR Bello - 166.2 IP, 6.70 K/9, 3.19 bb/9, 3.35 ERA, 4.39 xFIP, 1.9 fWAR If you think Bello is a 3, then Giolito is a 3. Ryan is better than Giolito by almost every metric (k rate, bb rate, whatever).
  20. mvp 78
    The Sox SHOULDN'T have those concerns. Somehow they do and we talk about it all the time.
  21. mvp 78
    🥸
  22. mvp 78
    Two years later, they were in the ALCS without really adding to the team though. Seems like they just needed to run it back?
  23. mvp 78
    I think Breslow would prefer if Kelly was his 3 and someone younger with a higher whiff rate as his 2.
  24. mvp 78
    Does he need another 5th starter?
  25. mvp 78
    Mullins is a high injury risk and further away than Drohan and Uberstine. The guys protected this season could all contribute early on this season. Mullins still has work to do. Drohan and Uberstine could still be called up for an emergency start, but Mullins is probably a relief profile by the time he gets to MLB. Drohan has injury issues too, but has a good k rate and whiff rate. Uberstine is the more clear emergency call up for a starter guy. Mullins is just behind them.
