    They drafted Fabian #40 last year. Based on the MLB’s rules, Boston will receive a compensatory draft pick next year. It will be No. 41 overall, just one spot lower than where they took Fabian. https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2021/11/if-boston-red-sox-sign-a-qualified-free-agent-their-41st-overall-pick-second-round-in-2022-is-protected.html

    So if you thought that word was appropriate for what would happen, but it didn't happen the way you expected: maybe there was no cliff? Maybe it was just a reset and the cliff never happened?

    Even if he's ready on 4/1, we wouldn't see him in Boston this season unless they fast tracked him to the pen.
  4. mvp 78
    You're right. My perception is that if he was getting 5 years, that he'd be closer to 88M. Seems like a fair value.
  5. mvp 78
    Good. Having more teams that spend is really good for baseball.
  6. mvp 78
    As long as he isn't going to recreate the 2020 starting rotation, I'm fine with it.
  7. mvp 78
    I like the idea of it just being a "reset." It's like I'm playing a video game and haven't saved for an hour, but made some dumb mistake and it would be better to just hit reset and start over from where I was an hour ago at my last save rather than just continuing on.

    It's an everchanging definition it seems. It's the thneed of Red Sox arguments.
  9. mvp 78
    Also, there are HUGE differences between 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2020.
  10. mvp 78
    I forgot about the Carson Smith trade. That was a bungle.
  11. mvp 78
    As notin has stated, it's probably better described as a "reset" than a cliff.
  12. mvp 78
    Again, the cliff was explained as something that would take YEARS to fix. They hit reset for one atrocious year and then were a playoff team the following year. I'm sure everyone would have agreed to that ahead of time.
  13. mvp 78
    By "problem" I was saying the flaw in the argument, not the reason people were upset.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm going to need to see your math on this.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, I believe QO comp picks changed at some point.
  16. mvp 78
    Doesn't seem like a very big number? He was going to get 18M if he took the QO.

    @jonmorosi Eduardo Rodríguez is in agreement with #Tigers on a 5-year contract worth at least $77 million, source confirms initial report by @CodyStavenhagen. There’s an opt-out after the 2nd year, as @JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal and @JonHeyman have reported.
  18. mvp 78
    @CodyStavenhagen Sources: The Tigers are close to finalizing a multiyear deal with free agent LHP Eduardo Rodriguez.
  19. mvp 78
    sox 1st, fabian compensation, sox second, eddie compensation The 70th pick is the comp pick.
  20. mvp 78
    "Here's some conjecture without any real analysis. Were you hoping for quotes from people I have access to? LOL." Tomase will always be the worst.
  21. mvp 78
    They can't lose the Fabian pick. That one is unaffected by QO's.
  22. mvp 78
    I believe it's the 57th pick.
  23. mvp 78
    14-15 really sucked, but it came right after a WS win. I think the stretch from 10-12 was more frustrating as 2010 was a completely lost and middling season. The only part I remember about it was Ryan Kalish (a guy who only OPS'd 88+). The following year was touted as "the greatest Sox team of all time" but they just squandered all that away down the stretch with a brutal September that caused Theo and Tito to be rushed out the back door. 2012 was notable only for a ST where Pedro Ciriaco the standout player and Bobby V slowly steered the ship towards an oncoming iceberg that everyone saw from miles and miles away.

    The real problem with the cliff theory is twofold: (1) ownership CHOSE to get under the cap by any means necessary, which amounted them to dumping Betts and fielding an uncompetitive pitching rotation for one year (2) in the real world, a cliff generally leads to an extended valley (and posters that were proponents of the idea stated that the Sox would have a few down years) but this Sox team had one bad season and then was in the ALCS the following year which is more of a "blip" than a "cliff" IMO

    @redsoxstats The Red Sox now have draft picks #24, #41, #57, #70. If they sign a player with a qualifying offer they lose #57.
