    Xander at DH Iggy at SS Arroyo at 2B
  2. mvp 78
    The rotation has already been set up. They already are in the pole position for the WC. If they sweep the Yanks, they are basically guaranteed the home slot since they end with the O's and Nats. That should be enough time to get Arroyo going.
  3. mvp 78
    Lugo and Drew were probably the 2 weakest links on those teams.
  4. mvp 78
    OCAB was a good SS though, just not with the Sox.
  5. mvp 78
    Lindor is overpaid. Would Bogaerts take 7/196? That's a 8M raise per year plus an additional 2 years added on. Would Devers take Xander's 6/120 with an opt outs?
  6. mvp 78
    The only issue is that Arroyo needs to be ready for the playoffs. If the Sox can clinch the WC spot soon, you trot out Arroyo. Arroyo needs to at least start every game that last series.

    Comfort level? Yes. CERA? Highly doubtful. If that stat had any meaning, ESPN would still be using it on their leaderboards. They realized like 3 years ago that it was useless. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/fielding/_/position/c/sort/catcherERA

    So you are advocating that Plawecki should play more. And you saying that you've never advocated for that position is wrong.
  9. mvp 78
    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.
  11. 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?
  12. mvp 78
    So you think Vaz should play less and Plawecki should play ______.
  13. 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.
  14. mvp 78
    IDK, there's been a lot of empty seats recently. They don't have a packed house every night like they used to.
  15. mvp 78
    So it wouldn't have to do with CERA then.
  16. mvp 78
    As good, sure. Better? Depends on the team. He's not an ace though.
  17. mvp 78
    "But I never said CERA was a reason to play Plawecki more."
  18. mvp 78
    "I never said to play Plawecki more."
  19. mvp 78
    Could a pitcher be more comfortable with Vaz, but have a better CERA with Plawecki?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. mvp 78
    Always. Last night's HR Casas' normal swing vs 2 strike swing
  23. mvp 78
    Yes, with hindsight we can determine who was right and who was wrong. That's how it works.
  24. mvp 78
    What made him a good CERA guy was him getting a better pitching staff.
  25. 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.
