He might have a good glove, but he'll k about 150 times this year with no power to back it up. Also like 5 years older than Kim. Not really interested.
-
A very good comparison. It's like when a punter slightly mishandles the ball and has no idea what to do next. -
@ChrisCotillo Hart on being outrighted off the 40-man: "I was pissed off, but very understanding. I have nothing to defend. I have 9 or 10 innings, and they were pretty much all s***. Chaim and the front office have to make decisions that are best for the organization."
-
I think the idea is that a team loses their DH once their starter is pulled, not that the opposing team loses a DH when your team pulls the starter.

Hockey has been greatly improved with high def wide screen tvs. Watching on little tv's back in the 80's was brutal. I think watching hockey on tv is more fun than watching any other sport.

Sign Sugaono, Kim and Arihara and be done with it. Cora emphasized that it’s unfair to any player to speak as though he has a defined role now, with months of offseason transactions still to come, but he also praised the manner in which Barnes handled ninth-inning duties in 2020. “If the season starts tomorrow and we have the lead in the ninth inning and we haven’t used Matt in the seventh or eighth, I flip him the ball and I believe he can get the three outs and get us to the next day,” Cora said before going on to call Barnes one of the game’s best relievers over the past few seasons. Some may raise an eyebrow at that description, given Barnes’ 3.83 ERA since 2017. It’s worth noting, though, that of the 232 pitchers with 200-plus innings thrown over the past four seasons, only six have struck out a higher percentage of opposing batters than Barnes (34.1 percent), and only 22 have a lower FIP than Barnes’ 3.30.

I can get to excited about ZIPS projections. It's not like ZIPS predicted the bottom to fall out for JD or Beni last year.
-
Let the NL mess around with that for a while. The sky didn't fall in the NL when they used the DH this year. They should just use it going forward. Only masochists want to watch pitchers hit.
-
Pass.
-
Love to pull David Ortiz in the 5th inning. Horrible.
-
Living the high life with that 34 WRC+. The sample sizes ruin any argument you have.
-
I would say that it's usually more like trading 4 Canadian quarters for a US dollar. Depending on how the exchange rate fluctuates, you may come out ahead.
-
Bill James hates CERA. Baseball Prospectus hates CERA. It's a deeply flawed stat, maybe even worse than pitcher wins.
-
@SmittyOnMLB Boston Red Sox front office has been ‘relentless’ exploring starting pitching market; ‘Conversations are going on and on,’ Alex Cora says
-
If that were the case, Brady would be using a glove in warm weather. Most QB's don't use them in warm weather.
-
No.
-
Or not.
-
We'll have to see. Dalbec's OPS was a little bit better than that last year.
-
CERA isn't real.
-
If Devers falters at 3b, I'd actually move Dalbec to 3b and Devers to LF. Does that make Devers Russ Branyan?
-
I don't believe so. You'd most likely need to trade Chavis and an arm with upside like Bello.
-
Vaz is the only decent fielding Catcher the Sox have. Grullon, Plawecki and Wong are all a little too lackluster behind the dish. Maybe it's not a big deal when robot umps come, but I think Vaz has decent value to the Sox in the meantime.
-
A glove would probably take away from a pitcher's feel. I think just allowing pinetar or bullfrong would do the trick.
-
I'd move Chavis for any of those guys.
