Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
mvp 78 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
That's a little high for reliever money though. The highest AAV in last year's FA class for relievers was $8.3. He's still going to want starter money probably similar to Chen's 5/80. I guess it never hurts to ask? -
You love Hernandez. Couldn't he hold down the fort for a year?
-
This is dumb. He pitched in relief prior to the season ending. He didn't "mysteriously" get better.
-
They were swept. It's tough to say they would've won if they had HFA. If they made it to game 5 after winning 2 straight at home, maybe the argument could be made.
-
Of course they are. After one WS run, they're the mark of true excellence...

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
mvp 78 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Signing him for 4 years is kinda crazy considering his injury history. I think it's best to go year to year with him. -
Pfft... He was only good for making sure his team showed up on time. Onfield maneuvers don't matter.
-
Either JBJ or Bogey are traded in a package for a starter.
-
Greatest.
-
The Reds have some good young pitchers. They may be better sooner than you expect.

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/mlb-television-viewership-up-five-percent/ There are 11 teams with worse tv ratings than them.
-
I agree with you.
-
You guys are underselling Votto's value at the moment. You worry about 2022 and 2023 another day. I don't see them making this move though.
-
The Guardians payroll is pretty similar to the Rays... The Astros, Pirates and A's have all been relatively close in the past few years.
-
The Sox are at their best when Pedroia is playing well. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=8370&position=2B When Pedey stays healthy and uses RF more often, I have zero complaints about him.
-
So if that means they get to pick 2 out of 3 of the B's (Bogey, JBJ and Betts), would it really close the window if JBJ moved on? This team has the financial structure where it doesn't have to go through extensive rebuilding phases.
-
They are not that far removed from winning 90+ games in 5 out of 6 years. The fanbase may not show up, but they get decent tv ratings and players get to live in a very comfortable part of the country with a cheap tax rate. I don't see much of a downside. The threat of the franchise moving is overblown. It's more likely that they build a new stadium near Tampa than move out of state.
-
If they walk, it'll because the ownership cheapened out. They can afford to keep any guy that comes through the system. If they choose not to, that's another discussion altogether.
-
Dombrowski stated that the main job of the manager is to keep the ship running, not tactical maneuvers. It's the organizational philosophy at the moment. If you don't agree, you'll just have to hold your nose until Dombrowski is gone.
-
This team was streaky all year long. They just ended it on a downward slope.
-
Why are the Rays toxic?
-
I would trade Moncada plus Kopech and Groome for Sale. If they wanted Devers too, I'd pass due to questions about Sale's delivery.

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/boston-red-sox-team-stats?season=2016&category=BATTING&group=1&time=2 The hitters didn't help that much either.
-
Do you guys still want to sign EE for 100M even if he's attached to a QO?
-
Salty had a career best WAR. Napoli's WAR approximates his total WAR for the following 3 years. Buchholz had 2.8 WAR in half a season. Lot's of things went right for the Sox that year.
