    I do wonder a little about Taylor though. Was it just COVID that reduced his velo? His FB was much worse than in 2019. Even though DHern's FB dropped in velo too, metrics still valued it as a plus pitch.
  2. mvp 78
    He's not a great piece, but you can do worse than him as the 6th-7th guy in your pen. And now that you can carry an 8th guy, it seems like you can definitely find room for him.
  3. mvp 78
    I agree. It still doesn't make much sense that they dfa'd Lakins. He would have been one of their best arms last year.

    How I rank the pen: Unknown: Aybar (didn't even make it to the alternate site this year, is a former position player with no control, but is the youngest guy on the list) Solid arms to keep: Barns, Hernandez Decent/intriguing arms: Taylor, Brasier, Mazza, Valdez Up and down taxi squad guys: Brewer, Weber, Springs, Stock Low upside guys to dump/outright to AAA: Brice, Covey, Hall, Hart, Walden Dumping the low upside guys plus Puello, Peraza and either Chatham or Arroyo gives them enough room to protect 6-7 guys and pick a rule V guy.

    It's not jaw dropping, but would be very curious as Springs at least had a vague idea of how to get MLB hitters out. Hall just flat out sucked and proved to be an org arm at best since his stuff is so fringy. 88mph out of the pen isn't getting it done when you have no control (10.38 BB/9). Hall's game log is just embarrassing. Not one good outing. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/matt-hall/18076/game-log?position=P&season=

    I agree it would be no big loss, but they need bodies. It's much hard to replace every guy and expect them all to perform better than Brewer/Springs/Weber. You keep those guys around until you are certain that all the guys below them on the depth chart are as good as Brewer/Springs/Weber are. Maybe there's a rule V guy you think has better upside than those 3? Maybe there's a guy another team tries to pass through waivers? That's when you dump those guys. Right now, they got to get rid of the moldy bread before they throw out the stale bread.

    Still a higher winning % than the all time Seattle Mariners mark of .470 (3246-3655). AND the Sox record includes one of the most dreadful of all time seasons in a small sample of 1.37 years. In order for the Mariners to get above .500, they'd have to have a winning percentage of .600 (97 wins per year) for over 12 straight years.

    Brewer's xFIP as a reliever was 3.51. He should have never been put in the position to start.
  9. mvp 78
    As a reliever in regards to the other guys thrown out there, yes. You can't really just dump everyone and expect all your reclamations to work out. You should keep guys like Weber, Mazza, Valdez and Brewer around because their replacements would most likely be worse (as we saw from Triggs, Covey, et al). Springs will probably stick around too. He pitched well until the last week or so.
  10. mvp 78
    At the very least, going to Anderson was a dumb idea as he's not been very effective recently.
  11. mvp 78
    Brewer and Weber were successful (in Sox terms) out of the bullpen. I think they stick around for next year. However, Bloom could dump 20 guys off the 40 man and it wouldn't affect this team's chances all that much.
  12. mvp 78
    Snell is their best pitcher. He was dominating. They deserved to lose after pulling him after only 73 pitches.
  13. mvp 78
    Just flat out ignoring the 5'3" 2b in the room....... Sheesh.
  14. mvp 78
  15. mvp 78
    He could transition to 2b easily.
  16. mvp 78
    DD loves this one.
  17. mvp 78
    Or we can have another War on WAR post or trying to statistically dismiss choking? Important things like the downfall of MiLB have no traction here.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-played_video_games_by_player_count Fortnite is still really popular, but I think it's probably more of a casual or kids game at this point. Aside from League of Legends (probably the most famous esports game), I think Dota 2 is probably the "cooler" esports game at the moment. I haven't heard much about the others and don't really play any online games to begin with.

    Overwatch?
  20. mvp 78
    I originally thought she used a different vowel.
  21. mvp 78
    Yup, there's no Sox games to talk about this year. We also missed out on 100 regular season games to yell about.
  22. mvp 78
    Yup, Rays have the Chokers right where they want them.
  23. mvp 78
    If they need to, they can work around it. Better if they just don’t have to worry about it though.
  24. mvp 78
    No IL from WS-ST.
  25. mvp 78
    I think they keep one of Puello or Wilson (especially since they are losing JBJ).
