    Mata can't stay healthy. I don't think he's the #1 pitching prospect anymore. The trade provides upside to the other team and immediate results for the Sox. I think it's a fair deal. Also, I don't think the high minors talent affects who the Sox take at #4.

    Quintana had a 737 OPS in 1990. I don't think that was holding Mo back. Quintana was no Brian Daubach, that's for sure.

    I'd DFA Santana for sure. I think Marwin is only sticking around due to his glove.
  4. mvp 78
    If they thought he was fragile, they wouldn't have sent him to the Olympic qualifiers. Too much pressure!

    It's interesting because when you look at McCoy, it's basically N/S facing when standing at home. This causes the jet stream to really go left to right. At PP, you are facing N/E when standing at home. This causes the jet stream to really go push straight out to CF. I think it was only designed this way to squeeze the ballpark in next to the train tracks. If it was N/S facing, there wouldn't be enough room in LF for stands. The OF wall would basically be next to the train tracks.

    Where'd you pull this from? When I calculated his home/road by hand, his SLG is BETTER on the road than at home? I get a 650 road slugging vs 524 home slugging.
  7. mvp 78
    He has 2 road HR's (5 games) and 1 home HR (6 games). He has 6 hits on the road and 6 a home. He has 13 TB on the road and 11 at home. The only difference is that he has more walks at home than on the road. It's hard to say that is due to WOO. He had a much worse home/away split in POR.

    Trey Mancini for Dalbec and Mata.

    A case could be made that Vaughn should have started 1991 on the opening day roster after having an OPS above 900 at AAA for the previous partial year. In 1990, he was just a beast playing for PAW and clearly better than everyone else on the field.
  10. mvp 78
    I think Cordero, solely due to his injury history, needed to start in AAA just for the reps. Unfortunately, the AAA season didn't start until May this year. Franchy probably has a higher ceiling than Dalbec. Should Dalbec deserve more leeway? No. He's played well the past week or so, but he has a streaky profile just because of the swing and miss in his game. If they thought Chavis would be an upgrade over Dalbec, Dalbec would be in AAA. I think we're stuck with Dalbec at 1b until Casas is ready because none of the other 1b guys can hit right now (Santana, Chavis, Marwin).
  11. mvp 78
    The worst would be if he's trying to overthrow to match better competition and then gets a long term injury on a meaningless game. However, I don't think there were many people clamoring for him to start games when 2020 started. He's been seen as a reliever for the past few seasons (and may well be one anyway).
  12. mvp 78
    The problem is that their need right now is starting pitching. Will Houck (pitched ok on Thurs) or Seabold (returning from IL and throwing bullpens) be ready to contribute this year? There was hope that Mata could provide innings, but that won't be the case.
  13. mvp 78
    Yorke's first ding dong. (982 OPS in June after starting slow this season) Also, Duran's HR was a walk off.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm always pro-rushing players that look ready to contribute (see: Devers). I don't buy into the theory that the Sox "ruined the career of Cla Meredith" or whatever.
  15. mvp 78
    When was the last time a guy was "stuck" in AAA for the Sox? Mo Vaughn?
  16. mvp 78
    I disagree. Dalbec has been given much more leeway than Cordero. I think that's a function of his age and that Sox fans believe he can get better. They looked at Codero and thought he'll always stink.
  17. mvp 78
    Yahoo is driving me crazy. Jansen got a save last night, but Yahoo is counting it as -1 for some reason which went from making the matchup a tie to a loss. WTH?
  18. mvp 78
    Surprised to see that Mieses' OPS at AAA is now at 960. I was expecting his OBP to drop after the promotion, but that hasn't been the case. I don't think he's got a high upside, but maybe he does have a chance to contribute as a bench bat.
  19. mvp 78
    DFA Santana
  20. mvp 78
    Dumb
  21. mvp 78
    Yup, he was up too long. Honestly, I think a guy like Kaleb Ort is more of a post-prospect than Whitlock. That's just semantics though.
  22. mvp 78
    True classic country folks. Though I prefer when the singer does a Boy Named Sue.
  23. mvp 78
    Can't believe they stole that line from a Mel Gibson movie.
  24. mvp 78
    Now, if a .700 hitter was 100% better than he currently is, he'd still have a -tsPAR. (TalkSoxPosterAboveReplacement)
  25. mvp 78
    I think it depends on what the definition of better means. I do agree that .280 isn't 6% more than .220 though. If a .220 hitter was 100% better than s/he currently was, they'd hit .440 and not 1.220.
