    I know you keep harping on those 2020 numbers, but you can throw those out.
  2. mvp 78
    Didn't they already reset last year?
  3. mvp 78
    I remember people discussing Schoop in the offseason. He doesn't break the bank.
  4. mvp 78
    Career 687. Has a 518 OPS against this season. His second best is 624. His OPS against is best on the team followed by Ottavino at 574 and Whitlock at 618. Nobody else is under 650. League average is 729.

    @SPChrisHatfield Paul Toboni said (Mayer) will likely get his feet wet in the Florida Complex League this year at first. I'd think he'll get up to Low-A Salem at some point this year. Next year starts in Salem most likely. Slight chance they get aggressive and start him in High-A Greenville. We'll know more about where to slot Mayer after this season, but I still think he'd be behind Casas unless he absolutely mashes in Salem.

    Fan_since_Boggs proven to be a McCoy.
  7. mvp 78
    Until he can perform in A ball, I'd have him behind Casas.
  8. mvp 78
    Like I said, I believe that was hyperbole.
  9. mvp 78
    I'm not sure a big deal needs to be made.

    But why should your 1b be the weakest hitter. It just doesn't make sense. It should be the easiest slot to put a bat in. The rotation is what it is for this year. I don't think they are going to trade for anyone. I hope they can figure it out for 2022.

    His career WRC+ is now at 97. His torrid short sample from last year skewed lots of expectations. Whiff% is bottom 1% of the league. His BB% is bottom 6%. He's not making contact and not even showing the batter's eye he once had. He just can't hit fastballs. The only thing that could factor in differently (if at all) is that his expected HR total is much lower than his actual total for 2021.

    I think they should find a LHB with a decent glove at 1B. Worked well for the 04 team.
  13. mvp 78
    I don't remember hearing them going to closer by committee at all this year. It was Barnes' job to lose, but they could go to Ottavino depending on matchups. I'm not sure that's really "closer by committee."
  14. mvp 78
    3.77 ERA for a reliever isn't that great IMO.
  15. mvp 78
    Dalbec isn't the weakest link though. Right now, it's Santana. I think there is reason for concern with Dalbec though. You can't have a starting 1B hit like this.
  16. mvp 78
    His skillset in A ball was to get the ball in play and use his blazing speed to get on base. This is similar to how Jimenez is right now. It is a skillset, but one that doesn't translate to MLB. If the power is real and he can keep the k% in check (big question), he should be fine in MLB. If his glove was a finished product may there'd be less hesitation.
  17. mvp 78
    Interesting that he didn't test the market. Maybe he saw the sign of the contract and figured that was enough. Must be happy here. Isn't he from CT?
  18. mvp 78
    I agree on Sale, Santana and Dalbec. I'm not really sure where they are at with Houck. The bullpen has been pretty good. Not sure they need to break the bank there.
  19. mvp 78
    If that's the price, I'm out. Unless they believe Duran's numbers are inflated by the Worcester launching pad.

    @redsoxstats The Dominican Summer League opens play this morning, weather permitting. Red Sox will have two teams in the league with lots of breakout candidates to track. Luis Perales throws upper 90s with a big curve. Miguel Bleis and Juan Chacon in the OF, Enderso Lira at C, got big money.
  21. mvp 78
    He was solid 2017-19. He stunk last year and that really stuck with most people. He's having a career year so far. We'll have to see if he can keep it up.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't wish injury on any current Yankees. I just wish them to be slightly worse than the Sox.
  23. mvp 78
    If he went to FA, he gets more money IMO. Good deal.
  24. mvp 78
    0-2 while I was in Boston. I won't be back for a while.
  25. mvp 78
    And if you really need to fill a slot, it makes no sense to wait until the last second to do it.
