    Yes, what a dumb idea to try to go to a team that is consistently top 5 in payroll!

    Source: #RedSox among teams to express initial interest in free agent RHP Matt Shoemaker, who started Game 1 of the Wild Card Series for Toronto. He posted a 4.71 ERA in 6 regular-season starts. @MLB @MLBNetwork

    @weei Source: Red Sox have reached out to Jackie Bradley Jr.
  4. mvp 78
    He didn't say that. He said Duran's ceiling was Fraley. Just LOL. That's not what a ceiling is.
  5. mvp 78
    Duran did OPS 806 over a 30 game stretch from 7/23 - 8/23 in 2019. He started off his promotion incredibly cold.
  6. mvp 78
    Yeah, probably! He seemed to have worked out some new swing mechanics this year with a drastic increase in power. He had to retool his swing completely after playing at Long Beach State where they force the same hitting style on each player.
  7. mvp 78
    Now compare his defense from 2019 to 2020.
  8. mvp 78
    Fraley is graded as 55/55 speed, Duran is 70/70. I'll disagree with you on this "ceiling."

    Not a Cam Cannon fan?

    IMO, having Cora there will be great for the younger players. I know Devers thrived under his direction.
  11. mvp 78
    Ok, and he was a 22 year old that OPS'd 825 in AA and a 23 year old that OPS'd 850 in AAA. Seems kinda good for a backup catcher! If you think of offensive first back up catchers we have had in the past, Doug Mirabelli didn't OPS above 750 until he was 25. Nobody is saying he's a future star, just that he could be a valuable bench piece (especially with the value of pitch framing going away once the robot overlords take over).

    Don't make 9 year old MVP tear up again...
  13. mvp 78
    That's the only thing I think needs to be fixed in regards to umpiring. I'd then get rid of instant replay.

    The question was why do I prefer Jimy over Morgan. I answered. Those Morgan teams all ended with a thud. Jimy at least gave us some good fall memories.
  15. mvp 78
    None of that changes my mind.

    @redsoxstats Gammons on MLBN: Talked to AC, he's really excited. Wanted back. His kids wanted to back. Daughter going to school in Boston. Bloom took a lot of time sorting this all out. Phone blowing up with happy players. MLB told Gammons Cora was most honest about Houston. Credit Bloom. Goes on to say the Sox have money to spend, will be building up, but don't expect them to sign one of the qualifying offered players (Bauer, Springer, Gausman, Realmuto).

    The biggest job is to get the calls right. The way balls and strikes are called now are indefensible. Umps make wild guesses on the outside corner because of the change in equipment over the years. My guess is that people would want to be an umpire because they love the game and are unable to get on the field otherwise. To use your argument, why would umps ever agree to instant replay if it right away shows that one of the guys on the field is a dumbass?
  19. mvp 78
    I agree.
  20. mvp 78
    Philly doesn't seem like a well run organization.
  21. mvp 78
    Yorke could be really good, I'm not sold on Lugo. I don't think the future SS exists in the org right now.
  22. mvp 78
    Morgan in the postseason: 0-8 Jimy in the postseason: 5-9 Jimy gets the nod. Morgan's squad had numerous HOF players (Clemens, Boggs, Rice, Evans) to lean on. Jimy had only Pedro.

    @joonlee this is a truly legendary news dump
  24. mvp 78
    That may be underselling the issues this roster has.
  25. mvp 78
    Nobody says it does.
