    Treading water for 2 weeks is not ideal.
  2. mvp 78
    I guess depending on how it lines up? There's still a disadvantage there.
  3. mvp 78
    Done. If all teams are given a 25% chance to make the WS (3 division winners, 1 WC winner per league), the WC winner only got in 19% of the time.
  4. mvp 78
    Since the Wild Card Game was created: 2012 - Cardinals made it to NLCS 2013 - no WC teams made the Championship round 2014 - both WC winners made it to the WS 2015 - Cubs made the NLCS 2016 - Jays made the ALCS 2017 - Yankees made the ALCS 2018 - no WC teams made the Championship round 2019 - Nats won the WS In 8 years, only 3 WC teams made the WS, with 2 winners.

    Wrong. Division winners are 100% in the playoffs. Wild Card teams are only a 50% chance to make the playoffs. Then, after using their best starter in a playoff game, they have to go face the toughest team in their league. Not sure that's an ideal position for any team.

    They did horrible with IFA's because they got kneecapped by Ben.

    What scouts did Bloom hire? He wasn't allowed to pull anyone from the Rays due to a non compete clause. It's still the same scouting department.
  8. mvp 78
    You. We've already determined that it's not the playoffs. It's no longer up for discussion.
  9. mvp 78
    The fact that Schwarber isn't ready to go yet is not ideal as well.
  10. mvp 78
    Why if you don't even know what the CBA will look like? Why wouldn't he throw his weight around this offseason and get rid of the luxury tax?
  11. mvp 78
    Starting pitching is hard to come by. I was hoping for a quality middle reliever. I'm not sure we got one.
  12. mvp 78
    Playing the "play in" game is not the playoffs, so I agree.
  13. mvp 78
    Andrew Heaney doesn't even help the present of this team.
  14. mvp 78
    Was doing really well in AA. Had a 12.18 k/9. Much better than 2019. Has only appeared in 3 games in AAA. He gave up 3 runs in his first outing, but the next 3 IP were 2H, 2K, 0BB, 0R. Too early to tell. Not seen as the closer of the future anymore, but should be in MLB in the next few years.
  15. mvp 78
    Drafting comes down to the scouting department, not to the GM.
  16. mvp 78
    @PortlandSeaDogs Sea Dogs' pitcher Denyi Reyes will be the starting pitcher for the Dominican Republic as they take on Sea Dogs' first baseman Triston Casas and @USABaseball in the @Olympics.
  17. mvp 78
    It's how it has always been (except in 2020 when nobody wanted to make threads so we just did series threads and that worked out poorly).
  18. mvp 78
    I think you could get Schoop and a valuable reliever for lesser prospects than Aldo Ramirez.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't like this timeline.
  20. mvp 78
    And if you like bombs, why not call up Mieses after the Olympics? https://twitter.com/WooSox/status/1422577512559878153 1083 OPS in AA 873 OPS in AAA What he did to that ball is probably illegal in some states.
  21. mvp 78
    Aldo Ramirez was a fairly decent SP prospect (top 10 on SoxProspects). Schwarber's contract took up the remaining portion of the lux tax cap. They weren't able to do much after taking him. Why not get a guy like Schoop (who can play 1b) and a reliever with actual value?
  22. mvp 78
    Schoop - 120 OPS+ Cadelario - 119 OPS+ Grossman - 118 OPS+ Baddoo - 130 OPS+ for a rule 5 pick! Tigers have nearly twice the SB's as BOS. It's a better offense than you'd think. They have some high upside pitchers too (Skubal, Mize, Turnbull, Soto, Boyd, Cisnero). The bottom of the roster is hideous though.
  23. mvp 78
    Yes, unless he can magically pick up 1b, it's an odd move IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    I agree with you.
  25. mvp 78
    The only retort that could make sense is that maybe they could have used some low ceiling MiLB guys (Wilson, Rosario, et al) to bring in a few extra pieces. The DFA'd Wilson and the Mariners gobbled him right up. There was some value there apparently. Maybe he could have been able to swing a deal? Maybe he tried and got no bites? To me, it seems like the mandate was to stay under the cap this year no matter what. It was less about giving up the prospects and more about pushing the luxury tax back another year. Seems like his hands may have been tied? Maybe they are just punting on the cap until the new CBA is approved?
