Papelbon: 368 Saves, 8 Holds.
-
88%. Are we ready to say he was almost as good as Rivera? Was he better than Eck? He's definitely better than a guy like Thigpen and better than Timlin or Barnes.
-
What doesn't make sense is looking at Save % IMO.
-
Bobby Thigpen 79% Save %. Because his usage was primarily 9th inning, his Blown Save % is 20%. Mike Timlin 64% Save %. Because his usage was NOT primarily 9th inning, his Blown Save % is 20%. Was Thigpen a better reliever than Timlin? Was he a better closer? Not according to bWAR. On a per inning basis, Timlin was the better bWAR pitcher. So why is the Save % misleading?
-
Lee Smith 82% Eck 85% Goose 73% Sutter 75% Hoffman 89% Rivera 89%
-
Barnes: 24 Blown Saves 39 Saves 95 Holds His "Save %" is 62%. However, his "Blown Save %" 15%. That is, he only gives up a blown save 15% of the time. Baseball reference's Save % hurts guys who haven't been primarily closers (like Barnes) as it includes blown saves from 7th and 8th inning appearances when they would not likely get a save anyway.

Cora looked at last night's boxscore and just decided to rerack today with the same lineup.
-
You could probably get him at 15 AAV for a shorter term. Maybe 4/60?
-
Delicious

Yup. That's why the Sox will probably go well over the lux tax cap next year. Though we don't know what the CBA will look like.

There's already 47M tied up in two pitchers in the starting rotation. If ERod signs here, it'll be for more than his current 8.3M. Contracts coming off the books: ERod 8.3 Richards 8.5 Ottavino 7 Perez 4.5 Marwin 3 Beni 2.8 Pedroia reduced by 10 That's 44M to go towards FA, but need to factor in ARB raises for Devers, Pivetta and Verdugo. Maybe will have 34M to spend on FA? That can go quick if you are going for the top of the line players.
-
Schwarber's mutual option is for 11.5M. My guess is his AAV will be higher than 10.
-
I bet he has given at least one high five today.

But the weird FanGraphs Clutch stat said so!

Low Leverage: 1.30 WHIP, 3.85 xFIP, 7.56 k/9, 3.32 bb/9 Med Leverage: 1.32 WHIP, 4.01 xFIP, 7.94 k/9, 3.54 bb/9 High Leverage: 1.12 WHIP, 3.14 xFIP, 8.34 k/9, 1.67 bb/9 Seems like Richards can handle high leverage situations?
-
Go look at David Ortiz'.
-
-
His high leverage numbers are similar to his low leverage numbers.
-
The position is pitching. They all have significant experience at it.
-
I think he could be interesting down the stretch. Not a high k guy though I don't think.
-
Actually, I think he has the perfect profile. Wild hair. Propensity for facial hair. Throws hard. Lots of spin on his offspeed stuff. Has no trouble speaking out.
-
One of us! One of us!

As much of a factor as it is for Chris Bassitt, Walker Buehler, Mike Clevinger, Jacob DeGrom, Johnny Cueto, Danny Duffy, Nate Eovaldi, Tyler Glasnow, Gunner Hoglund, Michael Kopech, Dinelson Lamet, Joey Lucchesi, Lance Lynn, Steven Matz, Dustin May, Lance McCullers, Jordan Montgomery, Shohei Ohtani, Chris Paddack, Chris Sale, Ross Stripling, Noah Syndergaard, Jameson Taillon, Spencer Turnbull, Taijuan Walker, et al.

How will the regular season end for the 2021 Boston Red Sox
mvp 78 replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Does it matter which seat I sit in when I watch the games?
