    That's 12.5M for 8 years! Those last 3 are a write off at least. He's going to have to be a 2.5 fWAR guy every year for the next 5 years for even 50% of the contract to work out. Not a given!
  2. mvp 78
    A little presumptuous!

    Okamoto: RHB, good defender, professional hitter with pop Murakami: LHB, terrible glove, high k, loads of power, basically high risk Kyle Schwarber
  4. mvp 78
    Murakami isn't more successful unless you're counting striking out IMO.
  5. mvp 78
    That's not going to get it done. He's a Pad for life if they won't eat 50%.
  6. mvp 78
    Xander will have a decent MIF glove for the next 4-5 years.
  7. mvp 78
    Welcome to five years of suck STL! Bloom will give you a tremendous farm system though. Lots of tinkering at the bottom of the 40 man roster too.
  8. mvp 78
    That contract should include the 5.8 from the following season though. It's not Lackey's fault the Sox traded him.
  9. mvp 78
    How hungry are they to eat a sizeable portion of that Xander contract? Send him to SF?
  10. mvp 78
    But they need an OFer so of course they have to trade for Duran. They are desperate.
  11. mvp 78
    I think you were confusing his situation and Hendriks who collected situations like pokémon.
  12. mvp 78
    I think Mayer can pick up some slack in his second go around. How much? IDK. He's not Roman Anthony.
  13. mvp 78
    That's an NL central lineup if I've ever seen one.
  14. mvp 78
    I don't believe so.
  15. mvp 78
    I don't understand that Rafaela offensive comp. He has a much higher bb rate and lower k rate at his age/level. Is he just a bad ball swinger?
  16. mvp 78
    I wrote "since 04" because I wanted to go back to the 04 offseason when they had to replace Lowe and Pedro and it was very depressing looking at all the bad FA signings as I kept going and going.
  17. mvp 78
    Sandlin could drop the way Romero is currently doing. I know he has great stuff, but he needs to produce results in games. If he gets nudged to the pen, I'd push him behind Mullins to 20.
  18. mvp 78
    Per Speier, starting to "take shape": Duran, plus for Ragans
  19. mvp 78
    Especially once we start seeing what all the other starters for. That Cease contract is steep. I know he's healthy, but he's not a guy I'm worried about having in the division.
  20. mvp 78
    Is the last "good" FA starter contract John Lackey? Even that had 3 lost seasons. Since '04, they've been better off trading for starters (Beckett, ERod, Sale, Crochet, Porcello, Eovaldi) than getting a FA.
  21. mvp 78
    He's been quiet quitting since the day he was hired.
  22. mvp 78
    TalkSox darling Ryan Helsley to the 0's for 2/28M. Bounce back season and dealt at the deadline?
  23. mvp 78
    There ARE too many cooks. Start by counting the EVP's. We had the same problem last season when discussing Alex Bregman. We heard in the media that there were multiple sides in the FO about signing Bregman. One side wanted to go long on him and the other wanted to go short if at all. Sam/JH vs Werner vs Cora vs Breslow. It's kind of a free for all in there and it leaks worse than my last pool solar water heater.

    For many college guys they are skipping them straight to GRE. A guy like Godbout should be in AA around the All Star Break. For the 2024 draft: Straight to GRE- Tolle, Ehrhard, Turner, White A little time in SAL - Clarke (3 starts), Aita (10 starts), Futrell (12 starts), Tygart (4 starts), Sprague (10 G), Whole season in FCL/SAL - Brooks, Bouchard, Gartrell, Kilander, Cruz, Ortiz, Hansen Because of how last year went, I bet Witherspoon, Godbout, Eyanson, White, Martin and Foutch start in GRE. I bet Phillips, Morgan and Winnay are early callups. SP projects Phillips to start in GRE, but I wonder if they put him in SAL for a few weeks as he's less experienced than Witherspoon and Eyanson.

    The tax hit on these contracts is so small that it's really embarrassing if the Sox feel they have to trade away players to take on new ones. JH can afford it. JH should afford it. The fans have put the money in his pocket. He should spend it.
