    So like his AAA performance last year then?

    I think they said Basabe v 2.0 would be somewhere 10-13. I thought it was interesting that the reason Basabe v 2.0 was way down the list was because the Basabe's switched numbers from the prior year so they were confusing them for most of the preseason. Those kooky Basabes.

    I want to see what Brian Johnson has before all is said and done.

    IMO, most of those guys don't have "second division regular" in their future. I think they often rely too much on "ceiling" than what the most likely scenario is. They are a great resource for sure. That second division notation bothers me for some reason. I feel like they are too quick to give a prospect that designation. I get it though. They can't completely bag on everyone and they are honest that there is a substantial drop off after the top 5 or 6 prospects.

    They have seen him 3 times. Each time out they've hit worse against him than previously. He had a great performance the third time he pitched against him. For reference, he faced them twice in one week pitching 13 innings and only giving up 2 runs with a WHIP under 1.00.

    Plus, that gun was running "very hot" according to Soxprospects. It probably wasn't a true 105. Maybe 102?
  7. mvp 78
    Was on pace for his most appearances ever.

    To me, that's a slippery slope. What if JBJ gets popped? Do we then move on from him if it was a one time mistake?

    Cain v Pomeranz
  10. mvp 78
    The only PED guys that I wouldn't want on my team are ARod and Braun. Of all the PED guys, those guys are the most despicable to me.
  11. mvp 78
    I believe he can be a decent reliever. He just needs to produce consistently. I'd be scared of his high wire act in high leverage situations.
  12. mvp 78
    Because of the AS break. He was on track for almost 80 appearances. Ridiculous.

    The Cubs

    Mookie Wilson and Ray Knight are no longer there. I don't care about them. They could win the WS and it wouldn't bother me. It would actually do well to annoy Yankees fans for a while if the Mets got a few rings. I'd be into that.

    I like the info these guys have, but some of the production values are very lacking. The whole time they were talking about Pomeranz, I was surprised they didn't get more in depth on his cutter that he developed this offseason, but that's probably because they spend more time scouting prospects than valuing major leaguers. The point they made that I most agreed with was Dombrowski determining the market value for a starter at the deadline and using his prospect stash to fill a major league need. I thought I'd hear more tears about Espinoza leaving, but they didn't sulk too much. The one thing that generally bothers me about Soxprospects is that they value almost everyone as a "second division regular." Maybe that's the ceiling for most prospects, but you can't project everyone to be that.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, that is a very solid Fangraphs Tribune piece. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    Farrell basically said in the postgame interview "4 run leads don't last in this ballpark, that's why we brought him in." I don't think it was a request from Koji. Koji's innings should have been managed better this year knowing that he is 41 and has injury concerns. Farrell just threw him out there as much as possible because he's panicked about his job and doesn't see the bigger picture.

    http://www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2016/07/joe_kellys_transition_to_bosto.html Kelly will probably be called up, but I wouldn't make him the closer unless he gets on a serious roll.
  18. mvp 78
    Dog Ziegler is the closer for now. I don't like Taz in the closer role. I'd rather Ross come in as the closer than Taz.
  19. mvp 78
    I doubt we would see Kopech in 2018. He throws fire, but can't control it all that well.
  20. mvp 78
    Maybe he shouldn't have been the closer then. At this point, Koji is a china doll.
  21. mvp 78
    Were both of those for Beltre, or was one for VMart?

    The Cubs

    f*** the Cubs.
  23. mvp 78
    Is Koji not overused?
  24. mvp 78
    @loumerloni 20 games in 20 days. Porcello could have gone 7. Can't use Ziegler and Koji everyday in non save games. They add up #neverfarrell
  25. mvp 78
    I do!
