    Eovaldi is not worth his contract tho.
  2. mvp 78
    Pew pew pew.

    I think they should schedule a 140 game season for 4/1 - 9/30. I would have a week off from scheduled games after the ASB so that COVID impacted teams could reschedule. I'd also have a week at end where no games are currently scheduled for the same reason. The NFL is currently railroading a 17 week season in, no reason MLB can't figure it out too. They should just make the schedule with a pencil with a big eraser and adjust as needed.

    I could see Feltman and Bazardo up this year. Feltman was bad in 2019, but apparently showed increased velo this year. Would be nice to see.

    Per Speier, Sox like Brice because he gets batters to swing and miss at a decent rate. He just has no control and walked everyone last year. They believe they can fix it and make an above average reliever. I don't quite buy into it. There have been drumbeats all offseason that Brice was coming back. I never understood it.

    It's his last year under contract. Grip it and rip it and see what happens.

    1. The Sox should never be messing around with "team control" stuff. They have the budget and means to play everyone who is ready. 2. If Mata comes up, it won't be as an opener. He'll be full Voltron when up 3. I think you're getting a little too cute with your months needed for starters calculation. 4. I already said that they should sign Lester and Perez due to their durability. 5. I don't think they need a AAA type. They already have Hart. He's the AAA/AAAA guy.

    "Get the duck boats ready!" Kidding aside, if the bullpen is better, I would have no problem with this.

    ERod pitched 200 innings as a 26 year old two years ago. He was out last year, but it had nothing to do with his arm. He'll be fine.

    @PeteAbe Jackie Bradley Jr. is "definitely on our radar" according to #RedSox GM Brian O'Halloran.
  11. mvp 78
    I don't see any other team getting close to giving him 18/year. I don't know if it's the fault of the suburban hippies who squat in the Haight for the summer or a techbro-pocalypse, but something went very wrong for that FO to make that decision.
  12. mvp 78
    Also also, MLB is stating not to expect universal DH in 2021. Lame.
  13. mvp 78
    Sean McAdam posited that the Sox should go after Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdag4BcoeiM Also, Ha Seong Kim was just posted.

    https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/12/7/22158275/boston-red-sox-roster-bullpen-structure-needs-matt-barnes-ryan-brasier-darwinzon-hernandez-taylor?utm_campaign=overthemonster&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter A look at the current pen: Barnes Brasier Hernandez Taylor Valdez Brewer Brice Springs I think Mazza belongs in that group if the roster sticks at 26. They should consider finding better options than Brewer/Brice/Springs.

    Too much purple bud IMO. Tough to resist when you're walking down Haight.
  16. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Fangraphs has the 2021 Red Sox projected at 10th in WAR from position players, 16th from starting pitchers, and 16th the bullpen. 14th in overall projected WAR for 2021. There is about 130 WAR available on the free agent market. Sox are in good position to climb considerably. Smart offseason signings can get this team to 88 wins easy without long term implications. Erase the bad contracts and stay competitive. I trust Bloom 100% right now.
  17. mvp 78
    I believe Stroman and Gausman were both given QO's because the teams figured they'd be declined. They were looking for a comp pick and it didn't work out.
  18. mvp 78
    Still a no. In this market, 15M for the next 4 years for him seems high. Plus, you'd have to be giving something up in return. They wouldn't do a Chavis for Wheeler and $20M deal.
  19. mvp 78
    They have Seabold and Mata who could both come up at some point. 2020 was dreadful, but better bullpen construction and rebound seasons from Beni and JD could fix that.
  20. mvp 78
    And they could sign nobody and contend with a rotation of: Sale ERod Eovaldi Houck Pivetta
  21. mvp 78
    Leaning heavily on that FIP. I think Porcello is a better pitcher, I just think Perez will be much cheaper. If Porcello signed for 1/7.5M I'd be into it.
  22. mvp 78
    I'd rather Perez than Porcello.
  23. mvp 78
    He'll be cheap. He liked playing here. He was durable.
  24. mvp 78
    He was a better defender 4 years ago. He's just OLD. Maybe he's not Gary Gaetti 2000 old, but he's closer to the golf course than to CF.
  25. mvp 78
    He's good, but not worth 20M IMO.
