    Sox don't hit RHP well. Royals don't hit LHP well. Wacha has won all 4 of his starts vs AL Central teams. This does not bode well for the AL Central Boston Red Sox.

    Who knows if he can replicate last season's numbers? He didn't go on a crazy tear, he was just consistent day in and day out. If we start seeing his numbers go up, he'll earn his spot. It took 10 games to get from 500 to 600 OPS. It took another 30 games to get from 600 to 700 OPS. This pacing would be the weekend of July 4th. He actually peaked at 744 on 9/18.

    Harrison playing well FOR THE BREWERS doesn't make the Devers trade better.
  4. mvp 78
    Story was a bad signing from day one. I don't know how the argument started. He hasn't been worth the contract and there's no chance of it working out.

    Brez was 12th in line last go around. It will be even further down the list of resumés this time. If you don't like Brez, just wait until the next even more inexperienced guy comes aboard. He may be even more impossible to communicate with. John Henry has created a FO atmosphere that is so toxic that it's not a serious job opportunity.

    I don't see them cutting Thaiss loose. He's the main backup at C.

    Durbin 2025 1st 30 games: 501 OPS Final 106 games: 776 OPS

    Story 90 OPS+, 267 games Bogey 104 OPS+, 449 games Per 162 doesn't matter if a player can't stay healthy and is just wasting your payroll.

    Is this really true though? I have my complaints about Breslow. I think he's a terrible communicator. I think he's gotten absolutely washed in some trades. He comes off as aloof to me, not smug & righteous.

    Also, health is a very important tool in the toolshed!!!!!

    Trevor Story has historically played in Coors Field.
  12. mvp 78
    I liked Breslow's offseason last year. I didn't like his offseason this year. I guess we'll do another coin flip.

    Winnay has been on a tear all month. 1211 OPS after posting a 644 OPS in April. All the underlying metrics have looked great for Azocar even going back to last season. He's been in SAL for 100+ games now, so the only thing holding him back would be playing time at GRE (Yophery/Jackson/Gonzales). Maybe a corresponding promotion would be needed?

    Only 3 XBH for Arias in the last 12 games. I keep missing the POR Eyanson starts. I hope my schedule frees up so that I can catch the next one.
  15. mvp 78
    Tim Naehring was really bad early on in his career. Will Middlebrooks after 2013. Aaron Hill stunk. Wilton Veras in 2000. I'd probably pinch hit those guys for Durbin. Caleb Durbin makes Pablo Sandoval look like Eddie Matthews.
  16. mvp 78
    Lots of coaches will take the gig. Nobody left to fill the CBO position if they fire Brez.
  17. mvp 78
    The problem is that it's not one 0-4 day. This Monday is Memorial Day and the team is WAY below .500. This has been 8 weeks of failure.
  18. mvp 78
    Who knows? Maybe. Can he even pull off a trade though?
  19. mvp 78
    The main argument for keeping Bregman was his work behind the scenes in helping mentor and lift up young players. Sox offense has tanked without him. If you only look at players on a spreadsheet the way Breslow does, you build an offense that is at the bottom most categories and wonder how you got there.
  20. mvp 78
    Wonder why you excluded '23??? Story 23-26 5.5 bWAR Xander 23-26 8.2 bWAR
  21. mvp 78
    Ferguson was promoted to AAA briefly last season when the WOOSox needed IF help. He's probably up for good now.
  22. mvp 78
    Bennett is sitting in WOO right now.
  23. mvp 78
    There were too many Suarezes on the FA market this offseason.
  24. mvp 78
    Something a little less than this due to Jhoan's years of control. Maybe you just get one prospect instead of two? 4. Phillies acquire RHP Jhoan Duran from Twins for C Eduardo Tait and RHP Mick Abel (July 30) One of the hottest available names in the reliever market came off the board as the Phillies added significant firepower to their bullpen in the form of Duran, who brings with him triple-digit fastball velocity and secondary stuff to match. Duran pitched to a 2.01 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings for the Twins this season. Tait, the Phillies' No. 4 prospect as ranked by MLB Pipeline, is an 18-year-old backstop with power potential who was recently promoted to High-A. Abel, ranked No. 2 in Philadelphia's system for several years after he was drafted, had since fallen to No. 6, but he's continued showing improvement, posting a 2.31 ERA in 13 starts as a 23-year-old in Triple-A in 2025.

    I don't remember this. I'm sure somebody called them a suspect or something.
