  1. 2018-20 Springer 11.3 fWAR (4th) JBJ 5.7 fWAR (16th behind Gardner/Heyward only 1.1 more than Pillar) If Pillar won't get more than 4AAV, why would JBJ get more than twice that? Anything more than 8M AAV is too much for JBJ IMO. I'd sign him 2/16 or 3/22.
  2. They did go to see Teheran throw yesterday. Odorizzi is more durable though, correct?
  3. @JonHeyman Red Sox remain high on Kike’ Hernandez. Mets and others also interested.
  4. @SoxProspects Newly re-signed SS Jeremy Rivera is celebrating down in PR. In Mayaguez' semifinal sweep of Manati, he went 11 for 17 with 2 2B, 1 3B, & 2 HR. He didn't walk and had a sac fly, allowing him to turn in the rare "avg-higher-than-obp" line of .647/.611/1.235 for the four games.
  5. Seems that the definition is "eligible for ROY" but you just don't agree with it.
  6. If they were going to go over the limit, why wouldn't they be in on the top tier FA's?
  7. Sign Kike and a cheap CF that is in some sort of rotation with Kike (Almora/Pillar/DeShields)? Chavis/Arroyo also rotate in at 2b with Kike?
  8. Sox should just get better with JD and Beni returning to form. I think the Sox struggled out of the gate and were never able to catch up in 2020. I think that if they played 162 games last year that they would have wound up closer to .500 than where they were. If ERod is healthy, Houck pitches like 2020 and one new rotation add gives them quality innings, this team will be in the hunt.
  9. Moreland should be closer to 2-3M IMO. I don't think they pick up a 2B unless it's a UTIL guy like Kike.
  10. They need to sign a mid rotation guy (Odorizzi/Tanaka), one of the better relievers left, another average reliever and a CF. You can do that with 30M. They'll probably even pick Mitch up on a one year deal too.
  11. I hope someone else overpays JBJ. He deserves the money for 2018, but some other team should pay it.
  12. And not listing the Marcus Wilson’s of the world makes the direct comparisons hard.
  13. An upgrade from Beni.
  14. I don't know of any place that records 40 man rosters, but here's the bottom of the 40 man from the end of 2013: Andrew Bailey Lavarnway Villareal Alex Wilson Dan Butler Alex Castellanos Drake Britton Alex Hassan Ryan Kalish - post injury
  15. I don't think there's a chance they give up on Whitlock. It's easy enough to stash a Rule V guy, especially now that rosters are larger and they'll need all the arms they can get with a 6 man rotation.
  16. @PeteAbe Jared Porter worked for the #RedSox from 2004-15. Team president Sam Kennedy: "We are not aware of any occasion in which Jared Porter did not comply with our workplace policies during his time as a member of the Red Sox front office."
  17. 1. He values years of control and Beni only has 2 years left. 2. He trusts that his scouting department can find an adequate replacement. 3. Trading Beni opens the door for a larger move in LF (Ozuna?).
  18. When you said "lose for nothing" I didn't realize you meant PTBNL.
  19. FWIW, here's Fangraphs take on 6 man rotations: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-costs-and-benefits-of-six-man-rotations/
  20. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/martin-perez-dons-the-red-sox-again/ From Jaffe's notes on Martin Perez signing: Meanwhile, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom is reportedly considering the possibility of a six-man rotation given the increased workloads his starters will face. If that's that's the case, Andriese, Perez, ERod, Pivetta, Houck and Eovaldi would be the starting 6 on Opening Day unless they sign some other guys. Not sure I'm into that plan. I know you need/want to limit innings for ERod/Houck/Eovaldi/Sale, but I'm not sure that a 6 man rotation is the best way to go about it.
  21. Manny is available. He was just cut from his AUS team.
  22. Would you want to work in the Bronx?
  23. I grabbed that from SoxProspects. My guess is most places follow the same formula.
