    If he played for a full season in 2018: 27 HR, 74 RBI, 74 R, 19 SB. I guess that's a bum?

    What I saw was a report that Cordero's route running was "interesting." I've never seen anyone be listed as both outstanding and highly questionable in various reports. Hard to really make too much of it until we actually see it. For me, the amount of smoke stating that his defense may be an issue seems hard to ignore. Maybe his instincts are poor but his speed makes up for it? According to Fangraphs, he has a below average arm, negative DRS and negative UZR/150.

    Mike Ilitch is worth over $6B. They went from 4th in payroll in 2015-2017 to 19th in 2018, 20th in 2019 and 22nd in 2020. If they kept Max and Verlander, they would have been 9th in payroll in 2019.
  4. mvp 78
    Yes, but if they are going to through Cordero out there, it may not be much of a downgrade by using Duran instead.

    @redsoxstats Over the last three years position players that batted 7th, 8th, and 9th in MLB have combined to hit .236/.304/.385. 2018 Sox hit .231/.292/.367. Almost impossible to manufacture runs. I'm pretty intrigued with the Sox just trying to hit jacks in that part of the order now. Will strengthening the bottom of the order be a boon for the Sox or just lipstick on a pig?

    And if that's the case, they just piecemeal 2b together with Arroyo/Marwin/Chavis/et al and see who wins the job.

    Also, all the Tigers had to do was keep Scherzer and Verlander and they would have been fine. Never should have let them walk out the door.
  8. mvp 78
    How many titles did those Tigers teams get?
  9. mvp 78
    Stars aligning would actually include Casas, Duran and Downs being ready for the bigs sooner than later. 1b: Casas 2b: Downs SS: Xander 3b: Devers RF: Verdugo CF: Duran LF: Renfroe/Cordero DH: Dalbec That could be a fun lineup if the young guys are ready.

    @_HaloLife Top 10 Defensive fWAR Centerfielders (since 2013) 1. Kevin Kiermaier 2. Billy Hamilton 3. Lorenzo Cain 4. Leonys Martin 5. JUAN LAGARES 6. Jackie Bradley Jr. 7. Jarrod Dyson 8. Kevin Pillar 9. Byron Buxton 10 Ender Inciarte Hamilton can't hit at all. Dyson is too long in the tooth. JBJ is too expensive. Pillar is the only guy who makes sense.

    The problem wasn't 2018. The problem was 2019. That's why we're here.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/players/terry-shumpert/449/stats?position=2B I only remember Shumpert from his Royals days. A worse player than I remember who had a career that went way too long.

    Jackie Bradley Jr. Jarrod Dyson Brett Gardner Billy Hamilton Kevin Pillar Danny Santana Worst average exit velocity since 2015 (min. 1,000 batted balls): Billy Hamilton (81.5 mph) Dee Strange-Gordon (82.9) Ben Revere (83.1) Jarrod Dyson (83.5) Jose Iglesias (83.9) Ender Inciarte (84.0) Alcides Escobar (84.2) Jose Peraza (84.6) Pillar seems to be the only guy left that makes sense. No way is JBJ coming back.
  14. mvp 78
    To me, it just seems that Chavis is redundant with Marwin on the roster. They still need some sort of defensive minded CF, which neither person is.
  15. mvp 78
    The only good thing about 2020's season was that it was a break from the pandemic nonsense and a shorter season so the pain was more bearable. I think a .500 season may actually hurt worse this go around. We'll be much more invested in the season anyway.
  16. mvp 78
    There's no reason to have been very familiar as they all have been mediocre. What these moves do is increase the floor of this team. They won't pick 4th next year. They'll probably wind up with 78-86 wins no matter how this team performs. There is an outside chance that EVERYTHING breaks right and the Sox get to about 92 wins (MVP year from Devers, return to form for JD, starting pitching holds up and performs at peak level, etc.).

    Now we're throwing her under the bus? This is the darkest timeline.
  18. mvp 78
    Even with the Marwin signing?
  19. mvp 78
    I don't think he'll be very good, but he'll be better than Peraza.
  20. mvp 78
    Anyway, does the signing of Marwin mean that Chavis is 100% going to WOO?
  21. mvp 78
    I'm going to drink a six pack tonight, put Willie Nelson on and re-read this thread.

    “Toolsy”

    Leg injury because it’d take away his athleticism. Soft tissue as they seem to me more likely to be recurring than broken wrists.
  24. mvp 78
    Pedroia will have all the time in the world to play with his smart watch.
  25. mvp 78
    I’d be more concerned about soft tissue injury or a substantial injury to his legs.
