    And Game 2 is probably won 40-45% of the time if they play if over and over again. It was a very close series. If the Sox want to be WS contenders, they need to have a deeper rotation, better defense and add HR's or reduce k's IMO. K rates TOR: 17.8% #1 (low k, av HR) MIL: 20.3% #5 (low k, low HR) CHC: 20.7% #7 (low k, high HR) HR rates LAD: 244 #2 (av k, high HR) SEA: 238 #3 (high HR, high k) CHC: 223 #6 (low k, high HR)

    Spent the whole year in hiding while the Sox were doing well and then wait until the Sox get kicked out of the playoffs to post again? Now that sounds cowardly to me. 🤔

    I don't know why any team would be comfortable trading for the oft injured Buxton?
  4. mvp 78
    Alonso's k rate was lower than BOS's k rate (barely). I think you can increase HR's, but grab a hitter that has an average k rate rather than an atrocious k rate like Anthony, Mayer, Campbell, Story, etc. Suarez's 29.8% k rate would fit in nicely with this team. 🤪

    They were 7th in runs and 11th in wRC+. There couldn't have been THAT many holes in last year's offense. I think the issue is that a high k lineup is just going to struggle against good pitching when it gets to the playoffs.

    And how much do we necessarily have to trust Steamer? What would happen if they switched to OOPSY or something else?

    Ian Cundall mentioned a lot of red flags in regards to Arias on the most recent SP podcast. He didn't go into detail, but this was after saying that he was "years away" and that offensively it's all on developing his hit tool. He said Arias is a very hard prospect to project right now.

    If another team has that much value on him, I'm moving him. I'd trade him for two Abreus.

    "Swung from their heels and infrequent contact" is the hallmark of Red Sox baseball right now. Guess we'll follow the Yankees postseason performance (especially their defensive lapses) until the org decides to head in a different direction. Right now, their offenses have a lot of parallel thinking.

    I just skipped Torres when writing the names down. Polanco hasn't declined his player option yet so isn't officially a FA, I believe. Torres signed for 1/15 and seems like a high price to pay for 2b. Not one Brezzz may be willing to pony up for IMO.

    Top 20 qualified SS's all had OPS's above 675. The guys below: Winn 3.5 fWAR (2nd best SS in the game) Lopez 2.3 fWAR (top 5 SS) Volpe 1.0 fWAR Lee 0.3 fWAR Meidroth 1.3 fWAR Ortiz 1.4 fWAR (top 5 SS) With these comps, he'd probably be in the 1.5-2 fWAR range if he only hit 675 at SS.

    Current FA hitters over 2 fWAR Schwarber - not leaving PHI Tucker - don't need another OFer Bichette - could be a good 2b, Sox aren't spending on him though Suarez - depends on Breggie opting out Alonso - too much $$$ for a DH? Grisham - no Naylor - not a good Fenway fit O'Hearn - don't need his LHB Yaz - no Realmuto - not needed
  14. mvp 78
    No.

    "Can someone please mush up the catering spread for Breggie?"
  16. mvp 78
    His D isn't 675 OPS good. He's not Cedanne in CF good.
  17. mvp 78
    Arias may not hit well enough to reach MLB TBH. Godbout debuts before Arias does IMO.
  18. mvp 78
    Not even close. It was good for one season to see what it looked like. It was good, but not transcendent.
  19. mvp 78
    Ali Sanchez and Blake Sabol better watch out.
  20. mvp 78
    3 throwing errors and 215 assists in '22 (with a bad arm). Those throws are just a lot easier on him.
  21. mvp 78
    Baseball was always a little random (Cardinals in 06 with 83 wins and 27th ranked pitching staff as a prime example), but everything you mentioned has really heightened the randomness IMO.
  22. mvp 78
    Re-signing Bregman isn't adding a big bat. It's a lateral move! His per 162 HR's at Fenway was 15 this year. Maybe BOS isn't a good fit!
  23. mvp 78
    Torres is a below average defender and a barely above average hitter. He was paid 1/15 last season. Don't see the Sox going that large at 2b TBH because of the reasons I've previously stated.
  24. mvp 78
    Is that what the mysterious plane ticket to Geneva is for? Exciting!!! 🥳
  25. mvp 78
    They already have Romy, Hamilton and Campbell under contract. The lack of viable FA 2b's. They have bigger decisions to make with the roster this offseason: Abreu/Duran potential move, Casas injury replacement, Masa potential move, Breggie re-sign or replacement, Giolito re-sign or replacement, bullpen addition. Brezzz isn't a guy who completely overhauls the team, but adds here and there.
