    There was an original deal in place with DD and LAD to move Betts that included Smith during '19.
  2. mvp 78
    He had been called up in '21 and '22. He could have been on the Opening Day roster if they wanted.

    My grocery bill has had more inflation since 2019 than Sox payroll.

    2019 BOS 243M 2026 268M Seems like BOS isn't keeping up the pace?

    Arias is too high. I'd trade him for someone else's Early today.

    Will he put up 15 fWAR? Does it matter since the Sox have a huge hole in the IF. If he puts up 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, it gets it done. It he only puts up 12 fWAR, maybe it is still worth it in the end for the short term though. Not every contract has to exceed the model. Story's surely won't.

    Duran, Verdugo and they signed Duvall later on for very cheap. Masa played OF after Duvall got hurt. Had Rafaela and Abreu in the pipeline so there was no reason to sign a guy for years and years...

    Move Devers to 1b and Casas to DH. Seems like a smart move. Sign Swanson after '22 (many advocated on here) and keep Story at 2b. Very strong up the middle and can help Devers deficiencies at 3b. Sign Santana 2/12 to play 1b.

    Sox pitchers that were injured last season under 30: Kutter Sandoval Houck Bello Giolito Dobbins Fitts Murphy Moran 33% chance to get injured Over 30 guys on the roster: Matz De Leon Fulmer Stock Kelly Wilson Bernardino Chapman Buehler Hendriks 20% chance to get injured

    You weren't, others in the thread were which is why I wrote "(not directed at you)." I agree on your other points. The long term staffers must never swim upstream if they have stuck around this far.
  11. mvp 78
    Just move Devers or Casas to DH instead of signing Masa?
  12. mvp 78
    He had no idea who Juan Valera was when they signed him. He just trusted the scouts and had JH write a check. Tolle was drafted by Breslow.

    Maybe too calculated at times. I think the new Sox FO rely too heavily on models vs scouting. We'll have to see how that holds up after a few years. It's also a little silly to start trying to parse out where to lay blame between Breslow vs JH or whatever (not directed at you). Easier to just say, the FO (Bres/Sam/Theo/JH/Werner) weren't able to sign Bregman because they valued him at one level, didn't really budge off of it and didn't want to waive the no trade clause. We know that to be a fact. If the Sox moved on afterwards, I guess we need to judge the value on the next move vs what they missed out on with Bregman. 1. How do they replace Bregman at 3b and what does it mean for 2b? 2. How does Suarez's contract hold up? I think that's all that matters. Trying to figure out WHO to blame over the Sox not landing Bregman is near impossible until Speier is able to write his next tell all book.

    Useless.
  15. mvp 78
    Have you seen the inflation on quarter zips these days? That could be what it takes to retain these guys!
  16. mvp 78
    Bello started last season on the IL. His tempo was slower last year. His fastball velo dropped 2 mph. Which pitcher is declining again?
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe. It depends on what KC looks like behind the scenes right now.
  18. mvp 78
  19. mvp 78
    Increase of 1.4 fWAR ish per FanGraphs? Does that make them the favorites in the division?
  20. mvp 78
    Damn Sonny is gonna regress this year!
  21. mvp 78
    I was raised to trust teachers.
  22. mvp 78
    He's still 7th percentile... Do you think he's going to improve another 66%?
  23. mvp 78
    Just don't overstate the improvement, please.
  24. mvp 78
  25. mvp 78
    His chase dropped from 46% to 42%! Jumped up to 2nd percentile!
