Do they just crowdsource their content?
-
That was my only point. Wong has a much higher ceiling, but we know that Catchers take longer to develop.
-
No. I'd rather keep Vaz than downgrade at C and get a 2b. There are more than enough 2bs sitting out there in FA.
-
And there is a concern as to why his spin rate went crazy last year. Sustainable?
-
Of those guys, I guess Kiermaier could be ok if you are only giving up a B level prospect. Cain, Fowler, Heyward and Myers aren't really CFers anymore and I want to keep Verdugo in RF. Inciarte is a weird one for me. Offensively, his contact rate has taken a nose dive the past two years. Same with his defense. I don't see the appeal. I don't know what to think about Kingery. Seems to be more of a super utility guy than someone you just slot in for CF. There was a lot of hype for him a few years ago, but he really floundered in 2020. His contract isn't really a killer though and he has the highest upside of any of the guys you mentioned.

I think I'd rather just keep Vaz unless I got bowled over with an offer. I'd probably take Flowers over Ramos, but I wouldn't sign either for more than 1 year.
-
Sox lucked out that one of their needs matched a glut in the marketplace. Unfortunately, they still have to fill CF.
-
It's not a need right now. It was only curious since some posters on here are quick to trade off Vaz. It's not like Plawecki would start 162.
-
I'd sign Tanaka before Paxton/Odorizzi/Walker/Quintana. I don't know what it would take to sign Bauer, but he's probably going to be too much.
-
I wanted them to sign Kim. They didn't. My guess is their scouts are far more knowledgeable about Kim than I am (I know that's hard for you guys to believe). Wong and Semien are both probably much better than Kim.

-
I'm not saying he's a starter, just that he's a better bet to be a backup than Wong.
-
Where is this great player they are avoiding signing? Bauer?
-
Not every guy who has come over from Japan/Korea has succeeded, even ones with great pedigrees. Maybe they just didn't like him at that price?
-
Are they doing a sell off like the Cubs? If not, they are going for it. They have a high payroll already.
-
Agree on Sale. On Pedroia, it's just money.
-
Does Paxton make them better than a WC contender? Not in my opinion.
-
What will be different about 2022: Sox prospects will be a year older and more likely to contribute. The FA class of 2022 is much better than 2021.
-
Signing a durable guy would reduce the workload on the rest of the staff. Signing a guy who breaks down in the Spring only exacerbates the problem.
-
Yes.
-
Ah, but have you compared that to the 04-05 offseason where we signed all the big names and didn't let any walk out the door?!?
-
Sox could easily extend them if they wanted. They may try to extend ERod if he is doing well in July.
-
I could see Paxton/Walker/Lester all taking 1 year deals. I wouldn't want those guys longer than 2 years either.
-
No, not even for PR this year. The PR move was Cora. Some of our baseball junkies are close to OD'ing IMO. Casual fans aren't listening to sports radio.
-
Houck won't be a starter for the whole year. They will manage his innings. Hard to count on ERod or Eovaldi for full seasons either.
