    Trade Wright. He’s a pumpkin and it’s almost midnight.
  4. mvp 78
    Maybe in the commentating booth.
  5. mvp 78
    Beeks getting start on Thursday!!!!

    @jcmccaffrey Drew Pomeranz is headed to the DL with biceps tendinitis. Cora expects Steven Wright to remain in the rotation.

    @EvanDrellich Dustin Pedroia on his way back from Boston. Red Sox expect to know more about his situation later today. Cora said Pedroia had a full work-up. Mookie Betts doing tee work today. They’ll see how he comes out of that.

    True! His WHIP last year was outstanding.

    Count the number of Vaz passed balls and then we can debate on how Swihart would've handled them.
  11. mvp 78
    DFA Swihart.

    Plus, he is a negative oWAR player. May as well just have a AAAA guy like Deven Marrero play 2b for you at that point.
  13. mvp 78
    He was ok in 2014, but that's when his slide into mediocrity started. He's overpaid as a 2 win player for 2015 and 2017 IMO.
  14. mvp 78
    If that's checkmate, you must be terrible at checkers.

    And the more I read, the more confusing it gets. I see numerous reports that the Sox only bid 40M on Abreu, which was clearly not going to get it done. It's just a PR move to say that you bid for him at that point. However, the following summer when the Sox were sucking wind, FO reported that the Sox were only $5M off the final bid (which would have been $63M, not $40M).

    That's all I was saying with my original post about his 5.9 dWAR. He wasn't the worst defensive catcher by that metric. Maybe DRS or whatever have their own faults? I watched Swihart that year and he looked passable. He wasn't great, but I've seen a whole lot worse.

    How many pitches has Espinoza thrown this year?
  18. mvp 78
    I'm a Beeks fanboy.
  19. mvp 78
    Value in FA dollars annually?
  20. mvp 78
    That wasn't the story here and my cursory search of all the Chicago news from October 2013 doesn't bring up anything about the Red Sox.
  21. mvp 78
    I honestly don't believe that story. It came out 9 months after he signed and was during a really s***** season for the Sox. To me, that story was just damage control and there's no way to prove it either way.
  22. mvp 78
    Sometimes I do because I'm not an automaton. Fangraphs will also say some players are worth $60M for a year. I'll politely disagree. The $ value per win is a metric that I don't enjoy much.
  23. mvp 78
    Nah, he was good. You're just misremembering and are a tool of the evil Baseball Reference empire.
  24. mvp 78
    It was red marker on the sock
  25. mvp 78
    They also were feeling stupid for not bidding on Abreu.
