    MLBTradeRumors had projected him at 1/6M.

    Robbie Ray just signed 1/8 with TOR. That doesn't seem like a huge underpay to me. Will be interesting to see how the FA's shake out going forward.
  3. mvp 78
    I would do that in a heartbeat. Not sure Xander would.

    And just as an FYI, the Sox were a top 10 offensive team this year (even with miserable years from Beni, JD and Devers). I think the vast majority of this year's offseason should be spend fixing the pitching staff. The offense was fine.

    Red Sox Team Stats 2020: 25th in starter ERA, 30th in starter WHIP 27th in reliever ERA, 28th in reliever WHIP I think they need to focus on both if they want immediate improvement. However, the Sox bullpen lead the league in IP. Maybe having better starting pitching would keep them from having to put so many innings on a poor relief crew? Maybe adding more starters pushes some better pitchers into a relief role which gets rid of some of the truly terrible relief options that were on 2020's staff?

    What's the hold up on trading DHern (aside from being a cost controlled asset)? It seems pretty obvious he doesn't have starter upside anymore.

    Let's see... Limited job market (only 30 positions in the US and no other available openings). Check! Currently have no job. Check! Job pays well. Check! Enjoyed working for employer before. Check! A few grump people who complain about everything anyway will be upset. Damn, looks like I need to find a different career!

    Remember how excited you were about the drills Bobby V was running in Spring Training?

    The team that has the most WS wins over the past two decades? Why would anyone want to manage there???
  10. mvp 78
    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.
  13. mvp 78
    He didn't say that. He said Duran's ceiling was Fraley. Just LOL. That's not what a ceiling is.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. mvp 78
    Now compare his defense from 2019 to 2020.
  17. mvp 78
    Fraley is graded as 55/55 speed, Duran is 70/70. I'll disagree with you on this "ceiling."
  18. mvp 78
    Not a Cam Cannon fan?
  19. mvp 78
    IMO, having Cora there will be great for the younger players. I know Devers thrived under his direction.
  20. 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).
  21. mvp 78
    Don't make 9 year old MVP tear up again...
  22. 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.
  23. mvp 78
    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.
  24. mvp 78
    None of that changes my mind.
