    Abreu - 935 OPS vs LHP Guess Roman gets to sit since nobody wants to get rid of Story yet?
  2. mvp 78
    More HR, RBI and higher OBP, SLG than Alonso. For a team that was expected to have zero 20 HR hitters, he already has 8. No complaints from me on Contreras. Great defense too.

    https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2024/08/massive-biomolecular-shifts-occur-in-our-40s-and-60s--stanford-m.html Rather, we undergo two periods of rapid change during our life span, averaging around age 44 and age 60. A paper describing these findings was published in the journal Nature Aging Aug. 14. "We're not just changing gradually over time; there are some really dramatic changes," said Michael Snyder, PhD, professor of genetics and the study's senior author. "It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s. And that's true no matter what class of molecules you look at."

    '25 17-15 (86 win pace) '24 17-13 '23 15-14 '22 9-13 '21 17-10 '20 12-23 '19 13-17 I'd say 3 out of 8 years were ok starts TBH. Could even say 4 if you want to count '23 since they were under .500 the rest of the way.

    REAL aging starts at 45.

    I can justify firing Cora without using any data from '26.
  7. mvp 78
    No Rule 5 exceptions, but he could earn an additional option year as some injured players have.
  8. mvp 78
    DFA Kelly No more!
  9. mvp 78
    Juan Valera had TJS
  10. mvp 78
    I think you're misreading the post. "A weird batted ball start" was to mean that he started off with a very low line drive rate, but that it was expected that he'd end up closer to the mean of 20% by EOY.
  11. mvp 78
    He won't be good after age 31. Bad contract! No more 2.5 fWAR seasons for him!

    You may be surprised by this, but I'm not actually in charge of promotions!

    I guess some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing. Not me. 😇

    His implication was that a -3 DRS for a UTIL player at one position wasn't a problem at all. He was there as a backup or injury insurance. He said you can live with that deficiency because the player is able to move around the field. Again, if he's a plus at 2B/3B (maybe) then you can ignore him being a slight minus at SS. He's not saying that defense is good at all, just that you can live with it. You said "it's really bad" which I disagree with for sure. Small sample sized DRS doesn't extrapolate well over 162 games. For example, Rafaela had a -4 DRS due to one or two plays early on. Was that indicative of his defense? Probably not! He's already at a 1 DRS a few weeks later. If DHam played SS fulltime, the additional reps could get him more comfortable to fielding the position such that his -3 may only be a -4 for the full season. That's Xander Bogaerts-esque. Better than Story or Bichette were last season.

    Now who is the one ignoring questions? 😵
  17. mvp 78
    Valdez knew there was no lifeline out there from his coach. He was left out there to dry due to the bullpen games and lack of rotation options. He probably thought he should have been done after the 8 runs. Going back out there for the 4th pushed him over the edge. He gave up the two HR's. He saw his coach had no intention of getting him out of there and decided to end his night right there.
  18. mvp 78
    The Tigers announcers believe it was unintentional. Or at least believe he shouldn't have been tossed.
  19. mvp 78
    No. He threw at it because he wanted out. If he had given up two straight line drive doubles, it would have been the same thing. If Contreras hadn't pimped his HR, it wouldn't have mattered.
  20. mvp 78
    Did I say that?
  21. mvp 78
    Then why not throw at Abreu who hit right after Contreras? Almost every slugger these days takes their time with the homerun trot and getting out of the box. This goes back 20+ years at this point.
  22. mvp 78
  23. mvp 78
    Most everyone who is thinking rationally thinks he did it specifically to get taken out of the game.
  24. mvp 78
    It hasn't happened before in his MLB career per bref. I looked at every multiple HR start for him. Most of the time he gave up dingers, he didn't have HBP's. In games where he blew up and was a train wreck like yesterday, his HBP's happened before the HR's.
  25. mvp 78
    Famously, Sox internal metrics believe DHam would be a good SS for some reason.
