mvp 78

jacko is now Warwick Davis in my head cannon.

What brings out the worst in Red Sox fans: 1. slow offseason 2. August/September when Sox are out of the playoff hunt

I would say 04 prior to Nomar trade.

Hmmm, FL doesn’t seem so bad right now.

Whitlock is prob low because he’s coming off TJS and they haven’t been actively scouting him. He may jump up in ST.

Midseason

2/15 is max

Are there ticket sales yet?

That’s a whoopsie on me.

He does get credit on here.

All the names. Chris Davis. Pick one.

Game 3 was a huge let down. I was hopeful that they’d just put up a fight and win games 4 and 5.

MLB.com ranked Whitlock 27th in Sox MiLB. SoxProspects has him at 30.

Why?

He cleans the ray touch tank they thrown in the deal.

What's your cut off age?

@SPChrisHatfield Joey Meneses hit his fifth home run of the LMP season last night, leading to the reveal of another great winter league nickname: Cabajoey, a mashup of "caballo" (which means horse) with his name.

Think they'll throw in the pool of rays too?

Vaz for Kiermaier Chirinios Yarbrough

Fine, throw Glasnow in there too, but give them Chavis to make up the difference.

It's like me sitting next to a piece of pizza. Am I gonna eat it or am I gonna eat it. Very likely!

It'd be funnier if he lived in Mashpee. He seems more like a Chatham kinda guy though.

Probably Wander Franco.

Well, at least we know what he's up to when not working!

He’s great at keeping the ball in the park, strikes out a ton of batters, and limits walks. In 2019, not only were his both ERA and FIP below 1.40, but he was among the top two in home runs allowed per 9 innings, top five in strikeouts per nine, and top 15 in walks per nine. He finished second in all of baseball in fWAR (and first in the National League) among relievers that year. On top of all that, both his ERA and walk rate have improved in each of his 3 full years with the Padres. One of the main reasons for Yates’ production with the Padres is the development of his splitter. Not coincidentally, he introduced this splitter when that breakout first happened in 2017, and has had immense success using it. Since its introduction, opposing hitters have never recorded a batting average above .165 against the pitch." I'd take almost any professional reliever at this point. The further away we get from the 2020 bullpen, the worse it smells.
