First 14 games: 1237 OPS Since then: 671 OPS I don't think he's going to figure it out. Seems like he never was able to adjust. For reference, Arroyo has a 643 career OPS (719 since 2018).
-
Yup. They aren't slotting him into a closer's role or anything. He's just a guy to stash in WOO. They already have much better options to round out this year's pen, which they didn't have last year at this time.
-
I think they've already hinted that they are fine with Arroyo starting. I think we saw at the end of the year that Chavis was phased out of 2b. He only appeared at 2b in 4 games (even partial) last September. His defense is just bad which is why he wound up with more innings in LF than 2b after having zero professional innings in the OF prior to 2020.

Even if they are playing well, they won't "go for it." Not this season anyway.
-
I agree that Bloom isn't getting the top tier guys this season.

@bostonsportsinf January 22, 2003 David Ortiz is signed by the Red Sox to a 1-year, $1,250,000 contract as a free agent. World Series Champ - 3x All-Star - 10x World Series MVP - 1x Silver Slugger - 7x
-
Grotz had a 2.69 FIP in 2019 (14 appearances). They've picked up pitchers with worse pedigrees.
-
That's exactly what they should do. Even for C level prospects.
-
He's trying to add depth to the org as a whole (the "building back up" gimmick). Only problem with that is he needs to add some top end guys too.
-
I think Arroyo gets the most reps (for better or worse) this year.
-
If they could keep Arauz on the roster for a full year, they definitely can keep Whitlock on the roster. Whitlock is a much more valuable player. It'd be dumb to return him.
-
A much better version of Brockstar.
-
I could see taking Happ over Eovaldi due to Eovaldi's health concerns. Perez is sturdy, 8+ years younger and has a higher fWAR over the past 2 seasons. Pivetta is a post prospect who isn't a lock to make the opening day roster. Perez > Happ > Eovaldi > Pivetta Eovaldi has a higher ceiling than the others, but he'd need to stay healthy for once.

Bloom's thoughts on 2021: 1. "You're gonna see a really hungry group." 2. "Gonna be more exciting than the narrative is saying." 3. "Not only are we competitive in 21 but you can get excited for saying that I can see very clearly where the arrow is pointing." 4. "We got a great chance of surprising people in 2021."
-
As a former PAW season ticket holder, I can confirm that at the start of every season half of the roster were complete unknowns.
-
Maybe I'm valuing Kiké a little too high because I only followed the 2018 version when he was a 3 fWAR guy.
-
Odorizzi (13M), Colome (6.5M), Soria(3.5M), Pillar (2.5M), KHern (4.5M)?
-
I wouldn't extend him until we have a better idea of where he is physically.
-
The only way I'm ok with them not spending most of the $30M on FA's is if they are using a portion of that money to extend Devers.
-
Even just grab guys on 1 year contracts. That isn't impacting the "build back up" nonsense.
-
You know that is not the case.
-
I thought this was a down market?
-
We can all blame old friend Hazel Mae for reporting the Springer deal in error.

@mlbtraderumors Astros To Re-Sign Michael Brantley

It's not shocking, but it's not going to be very fun to watch this team if they can't add some viable arms and a CFer.
