  1. I'm fine with ripping into Farrell, but his bullpen use has been ok to me. You can't throw the same 3 guys out there everytime there is a lead. You just can't. Sometimes, the secondary options need to step up.
  2. Also, they lead the league in runs that year. Maybe XBT% is less important than OOB?
  3. Up there =/= Leading the league
  4. Finally, I am the 1 percent!
  5. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2011-baserunning-batting.shtml Back in the good old days when they scored runs and didn't have to lead the league in OOB, you mean?
  6. In ERod's first 59 games, he has about 4.6 WAR. For Buch's first 4 year (64 games), he had about 4.7 WAR. Good news is that there are 4 more years of ERod posts until he gets to FA.
  7. Correct, if the lose a WC game and don't make the playoffs, he's canned.
  8. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2017-baserunning-batting.shtml LOL. Nope.
  9. Beeks at 5?
  10. But he has A BEARD!
  11. If he wins the division, he stays.
  12. He'd be playing a lot less if Machado didn't sweep Pedroia's leg a la Karate Kid.
  13. For me, that started with the horrible thread title.
  14. Good news everyone! @ScottLauber Back fine and having apparently avoided looking directly at sun, Pomeranz ready for Wednesday.
  15. https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/899668801188507648 He's 4th on the Sox. In ft/sec: Benny 28.3 XB 28.2 Betts 28.1 Devers 27.9 Rutledge 27.9 Nunez 27.7 Holt 27.4 JBJ 27.4 Botton of the list: Moreland 26.4 Pedroia 26.2 Vazquez 25.6
  16. If he could play average 1B, I'd be more interested in trading for him.
  17. Núñez 2B, Betts RF, Benintendi LF, Ramirez DH, Devers 3B, Bogaerts SS, Moreland 1B, Vázquez C, Bradley Jr. CF, Rodriguez LHP
  18. Why not just find a cheap platoon guy then?
  19. I misread the post. So we should pay a guy $30M per year to play LF 14 times a year? For his production, it seems like you could utilize the salary elsewhere (starting pitching, relievers, keeping B's around), especially if he's going to be mainly a DH.
  20. Over Holt's pretty long career, he's hit best when at the top of the lineup. His hitting dips when batting anywhere else.
  21. Where's Beni playing then?
  22. @redsoxstats Devers now has 10 max speed sprints so he qualifies on on statcast's rankings. One of the fastest 3B in MLB, ranking in the top 25% overall.
  23. Well, he might not lob the ball back in, but he has had trouble throwing to the correct base which often leads to an advanced runner. He has the athleticism to be a plus plus LFer, but right now he's about average. With all the hype of "3 CFers" I was hoping for Yaz in LF.
  24. To play DH?
  25. Johnson has just struggled to stay healthy. No one really knows how Beeks' stuff will play in MLB. Maybe he pitches well, maybe it's batting practice? I'd give him a shot in September for sure.
