    Michael Chavis first 123 PA: 10 HR, 283 BA, 967 OPS

    I don't know what this argument is. The Sox bring in the 3rd most revenue in MLB. To say that the fans should expect the average results from that rings hollow. For a big market team like the Sox to be a last place team is completely pathetic. In '92, they had Boggs, Clemens, Brunansky, Viola and Reardon. How do you let a team like that get to last place? It's embarrassing. It's equally embarrassing for what they've done with this year's squad. 2018 was 8 years ago! We can't cling to that anymore. They shipped Betts, Bogey, Raffy, Sale, Eovaldi, Price and everyone else from that team out of town. The ownership of this team simply doesn't give a crap about fan experience AND no longer knows how to run a successful organization.

    Not sure they'd be in a rush to move guys like McDonough or Ferguson since they can fill in all over the field. They need to have guys who can just be bench guys and play wherever is needed on a daily basis. More likely that they'd move Cheng, Capra or Romero to make room for Arias. Castro's spot is secure through next season. There's just nobody to push him out.

    It was a very weird trade for sure. I think they project a lot of pull side power for him with the monster. It didn't work early on. He had to go elsewhere to fix his swing. Swapping MIFers (DHam for Monasterio and Seigler) is a very odd choice. Getting the comp pick back is ok, but they really pulled the plug on Harrison very early. This was coming on the heels of trading other depth starters (Dobbins, Fitts). I don't think the anticipated that they'd have to get to Bennett, but they should have. Harrison would have had a spot this year!

    Blaze's problem hasn't been his hit tool. His BA has been 275-300 the majority of his MiLB career. His issue was tapping into his power. He just may settle in as a 15-20 HR guy and maybe even a platoon guy. His defense isn't a calling card either.

    Red Sox win the series, but are still 5 games back of the WC on Thursday AM. Then they come back for some home cooking for NYY and WSH. 🤩

    They weren't messing with his swing when he had the 4 mediocre to bad months in AAA last season. Was there an underlying injury? His numbers cratered after he sat out due to a rib problem. They said it wasn't an issue, but I can't trust them on any health related items. I won't give them any excuses for what is going on this year.

    They were originally in the conversation with '92 because of the offensive stink. They are worse than '92 and worse than the pathetic '20 team (that team had Sale and ERod on the shelf). People are going back to the 1965 team for comparisons now. That is pre-modern era IMO. I believe the Sox can be split between pre and post 1967 for various reasons (ongoing success on field, attendance).

    One great month followed by one bad month in MLB and 4 mediocre to bad months in AAA.
  12. mvp 78
    Since going to Gradum: Durbin 23 G, 4 HR, 7 2b, 303 BA, 891 OPS Will he keep it up? Definitely not. Where will his OPS end up? Hopefully close to 725.
  13. mvp 78
    Their whole approach stinks right now. This team used to churn out offensive talent. Now they have no clue. All the turnover since Ben Cherington has finally started to take its toll IMO.
  14. mvp 78
    Narvaez - Breslow acquisition Anthony - Breslow extension Crochet - Breslow acquisition/extension Bello - Breslow extension Nothing may have changed, but Breslow's still in charge of running the overall team. If the team is in last place, it's still his fault.
  15. mvp 78
    Yup.
  16. mvp 78
    If they didn't think his swing was a problem, why completely break it down this offseason?
  17. mvp 78
    Some of it could be SSS, but the injuries PLUS lack of performance PLUS lack of offensive talent above AA PLUS trading away guys that have done well outside of the org. Not a pretty picture.

    "Hi, what injury are you hiding with Duran if he's not playing? Even if he is healthy how can he be ready to play for us if he hasn't been playing nearly everyday? How good is he if he can't start for a team that is dead last in nearly every offensive category?"
  19. mvp 78
    They gave the big extension for the old swing's results.

    It wasn't a Driveline guy who yelled at Jim Rice for talking to a prospect.
  21. mvp 78
    In general, his moves worked out well here. Sure, there were the Tyler Thornburg trades, but none of them really came back to bite him. His problem was that ownership decided to tighten the purse strings after they signed the Sale and Eovaldi extensions and didn't want to put money towards their franchise player. Ownership went in a direction that was the antithesis of how DD was running the team.
  22. mvp 78
    I have big questions about the hitting development right now and it has nothing to do with driveline.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't care about his non-Red Sox trades TBH.
  24. mvp 78
    If anybody takes back that Pearce trade, they're an idiot.
  25. mvp 78
    They wanted to tinker with his swing the first time it failed him. The swing is what got him to the bigs. Now he can't hit! Just give him his old, ugly swing back.
