The Carl Crawford signing was still worse. At least a portion of Heyward's value comes from playing defense.
-
The greatest GM of all time.
-
I didn't say the Sox should do it. I said packaging the two could get them off Cubs' payroll.
-
Yup.
-
If they want to dump Heyward's contract, it'd be one way to go about it.
-
Castillo/Votto for Casas/Hernandez is an overpay according to BTV.
-
Other players better than Torres 2018-2020: Polanco, Chris Taylor, Segura. Torres is basically Jonathan Villar just on a more marketable franchise.
-
Castillo had higher fWAR in 2018, 2019, 2020. Torres was the 60th percentile for fWAR for 2b (qualified) over that timeframe worse if you use SS. Castillo was 72nd percentile for fWAR for SP (qualified) over that timeframe.
-
I think you get a Castillo 2-3 years from now most likely.

Not everyone is a subscriber.

Anyway, Mookie was traded because the Sox didn't think they could re-sign him for the amount of money they wanted to pay. /end thread
-
I think moving Mata right now is a pretty dumb play. It would make more sense to move Houck as his stock may never be higher. I don't think this is the year to put all your chips in though.
-
It's good to outbid other teams if the right players are on the market. This FA market is kinda s*****.
-
That's definitely some kind of writing. TalkSox does have a little history with Dodgers fans, but it's far too early to say who won/lost the trade. Dodgers had spent the past few years crying about losing in the playoffs, now they are riding high. The Dodgers will have their own piper to pay in a few years. If they only get one title out of the deal, it was probably worth it for them. For the Sox, it was what it was. They didn't want to re-sign him. They got a decent return out of it. I'm not happy with the move, but it's the move that the boss wanted.

@ChrisCotillo Hart lost nearly 20 lbs., didn't have the energy to train between starts and even had memory lapses while pitching as his symptoms lingered.
-
At least MadBum has a rodeo career waiting for him. -
Well, we know he's a better hitter than a dirt bike rider.
-
@ChrisCotillo Hart said Lyme caused a mental haze at times: “I couldn’t remember some of the pitches I was throwing the inning before. I remember one time, Vlad Jr. came up and I couldn’t remember the sequence I threw him the last at-bat. That’s not good for somebody like me.”
-
We already know Kiermaier comes with gold glove defense and can hit passably. We don't know that about Nishikawa.
-
It's dumb point blank. No reason to put your starter at further risk of injury.
-
Kiermaier is acceptable. I just think Nishikawa would hit like .610. Not into that.
-
Look, we can't have Bumgarner hit in lieu of this guy! I want a glove first CFer who isn't an automatic out. It's why I'm not clamoring for a guy like Billy Hamilton.
-
Why would you DH for a guy with a better OPS? Bumgarner hits worse than the backups they have at C and 2B.
-
That doesn't make it right. There are hundreds of pitchers that can't hit for every guy like Bumgarner that can hit (k's 38% of the time, career OBP of .228).
-
Same as a pitcher swinging the bat. "Just don't hit me. Just don't hit me."
