    Yeah, but it's still the same swing profile. I think his numbers will get better, but he's not going to provide the power that the Sox needed. Good defense and will reduce the over k% issues, but no pop at all. That's what I mean by "he's the same guy as last year."

    DD didn't care about the bottom of the 40 man or even fielding a AAA team TBH. I think the org is stronger now and don't really have to rely on guys like Jack Lopez if there's an injury. Bloom did a good job, but couldn't get the team over the finish line. I don't know if he was unable to do certain deals because of ownership or because he didn't have the experience. He doesn't seem to have a problem pulling the trigger in STL!

    Even if Romy is here, they maybe have one more win. It's just a poorly constructed team.

    I'm always on fire. You just typically are packing an extinguisher.
  5. mvp 78
    It worked for Mookie.
  6. mvp 78
    Can't give Duran more playing time though.

    Theo is cashing checks.

    The reason his WAR numbers are so good in 2019 is because he had a good defensive season. He led AL 3B's in OAA and FRV. He didn't win a GG and wasn't one of the two runners up either.
  10. mvp 78
    You think these people know shame?!?!? After all the things they've done since 2019!
  11. mvp 78
    He sees a RHB and a LHP, he platoons. It's what he does numbers be damned. Done with him.
  12. mvp 78
    IKF has also been kinda bad historically against LHP. And this year he's been laughably bad: 143 OPS!
  13. mvp 78
    Merloni has good insights from time to time, but he also toes the company line a lot. He's better now than when he had to be a hot take machine on WEEI.
  14. mvp 78
    It's not the overall spending that's the problem. The problem is that they set a market for each individual player. The player will go out and find a slightly higher contract elsewhere. Sox never stretch themselves to get the guys they want. All those "he's our #1 target" guys just slip through the cracks every offseason. It's embarrassing. Instead of spending $500M, just spend enough on the guys you really want to bring in.

    It's what happens when you put all your eggs in the pitching basket.
  16. mvp 78
    Every team uses driveline now. I don't think that's the problem. It's the players. Marcelo never showed he was ready at AAA. Roman never showed he could do anything but hit GB's. Story has stunk since leaving COL. Durbin is the same guy he was last year.
  17. mvp 78
    That's one way to add power into the lineup.
  18. mvp 78
    Duran leads the team in base runners scored % and productive outs %. It doesn't look great, but he'll come around if they just play him everyday.
  19. mvp 78
    He has no RBI because the bottom of the order has typically had OPS guys under 600. Nobody is getting on in front of him. Story has had runners on (leads team with 72 runners on when he's at bat, which is why he has so many RBI).
  20. mvp 78
    He's played 93 MLB games.
  21. mvp 78
    Letting JD go wasn't the problem as his bat was ticking down. Letting Schwarber go as he was the logical replacement for JD was the problem.
  22. mvp 78
    Is it a development issue or an issue just at the MLB level?
  23. mvp 78
    There are SEVEN Sox with higher called 3rd strike %'s than Anthony.
  24. mvp 78
    If Anthony and Story had switched spots in the lineup in each game, the Sox would have scored more runs IMO. There'd be a big black hole at leadoff though.
  25. mvp 78
    Daydream going after a player. What good is in that?
