    Trout and Betts are on a different level from Stanton/Cole/Harper IMO. I think there are a very few guys who would be worth 300M. Xander? No. Devers? No. Vlad Jr? In a few years it could be Yes. Soto? Leaning towards yes. Jose Ramirez? No. Tatis? Too soon to call. Correa? No. Ohtani? Probably. I'd have a tough time giving any pitcher 300M.

    If the Sox sweep the Yanks, they can trot out the new version of Gino: Arroyo.
  3. mvp 78
    If a pitcher is more comfortable with one catcher over the other, wouldn't they lobby to only have a certain catcher catch them?

    So you think Vaz should play less and Plawecki should play ______.
  5. mvp 78
    You said Plawecki needed 250 AB's. That's a fact. He's not getting to 250 AB's this year. That's a fact. You complained that he was "stiff" from sitting on the bench. That's a fact.

    IDK, there's been a lot of empty seats recently. They don't have a packed house every night like they used to.
  7. mvp 78
    So it wouldn't have to do with CERA then.
  8. mvp 78
    As good, sure. Better? Depends on the team. He's not an ace though.
  9. mvp 78
    "But I never said CERA was a reason to play Plawecki more."
  10. mvp 78
    "I never said to play Plawecki more."
  11. mvp 78
    Could a pitcher be more comfortable with Vaz, but have a better CERA with Plawecki?
  12. mvp 78
    Our CFO likes to play the gotcha game too. He's the most hated man in the company. People say "(MVP), when is he getting fired so that you can have his job?" And I say "I don't know. Go ask the owner's life coach." Things are very normal here.
  13. mvp 78
    If he was solid defensively, maybe someone grabs him. I'm starting to lean towards him not being put on the 40 man yet. He's young and very unpolished.

    Always. Last night's HR Casas' normal swing vs 2 strike swing
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, with hindsight we can determine who was right and who was wrong. That's how it works.
  16. mvp 78
    What made him a good CERA guy was him getting a better pitching staff.
  17. mvp 78
    Gee willikers, I guess we just don't get it! I mean, he keeps saying the same dumb s*** over and over again, but it's really us that don't get it.
  18. mvp 78
    "If I was his mom, I'd tell him to take the deal." That poster would be wrong because Betts' mom was right to wait it out.
  19. mvp 78
    They should extend Bogey and Devers. They are the heart of this team. I think letting them go would just deflate the fan base even further. You have to play to the crowd every once in a while.
  20. mvp 78
    He's 70% Sale right now. Some people have inferred that we have 2 aces right now, but it's just not true. We'll see if Sale can get back there in 2022.
  21. mvp 78
    We will never know. Everything about the Betts argument is conjecture. The only thing that we can say is wrong is that the complaints about Betts' mom telling him not to take the Sox' deal are unfounded as Betts ended up getting a better deal after all.
  22. mvp 78
    Who would you start: Arroyo 750 OPS plus average D. Iglesias 700 OPS plus above average D. It's close. Arroyo is first season ARB eligible. Iglesias will probably sign a short term cheap deal. I think having Iglesias as the super sub is a good backup for injury prone Arroyo. Also, Downs isn't knocking the door down at 2b. Arauz is barely an up and down guy so they don't even have a viable SS backup.
  23. mvp 78
    Problem is that Vaz lobbies to catch as much as possible. He wants to be one of those guys that carries the load. He's just not that guy this year.
  24. mvp 78
    Wait... So Plawecki has caught the Sox' best pitcher more than the other guy and still has a worse overall CERA? I thought Plawecki only caught scrubs and Vaz caught the good pitchers... Hmmm...
  25. mvp 78
    Casas hit his with his shortened 2 strike swing too.
