    Tibbs 0-4, 3K

    Sox have hit Castillo alright in the past. I said the same about Yarbrough though.

    Bauer could have been an interesting sign for some team a few years ago if you knew he'd shut up and just pitch. Now? He's past his prime and is a mediocre pitcher OVERSEAS. At best, he'd be a 5th starter with really bad PR. Why take on that headache?

    And BTW, Pedro Martinez is taking Raffy's side and saying Big Papi isn't handling things the right way. 🤔

    He told the Red Sox that he'd play 1b. He just didn't want to be yanked around and he wanted to be permanently made the 1b.

    "He shouldn't have listened to his mom and taken the extension! He's probably not going to sign for that much! How much money does a person need anyway?!?!?"

    He's also part owner of the team. That's why he's carrying so much water...

    Mayer had 2 hits in 1 game. Zero in the other 5. Anthony had 2 hits total. Raffy had 3 hits in the 5 games he played. To say that Anthony and Mayer did more is just kind of silly and showing a lot of bias. It's fine to turn the page, but at least be honest.

    Mookie was in the offseason and then there were no games for like 8 months. At least with Raffy, it was back to baseball hours later.

    One thing Bres keeps reiterating is that it’s not about the best team on paper, but best flexible team and that will lead to more wins. We shall see!

    It was noted in the very first post that the pitching had been gang busters. My posts right after reaffirmed that. Feel free to add even more reminders if you feel like it. Not sure what Devers had to do with the pitching. If the pitching takes the slightest step back and the hitting stays under 3 runs per game, they'll be in trouble.

    I think the "lie" was when Breslow told Devers that there was no truth in them trying to sign Bregman.

    It depends on the position, Rafaela played a mix of OF/IF last year and had more PA than PO & A. For catcher, the defense is more important. For SS, the defense could be as important, maybe even CF. 2B? Breggie has 5,000 PA's and only about 2,500 combined put outs and assists. Is defense only a third of the game for 3B?

    I'm still not "happy" being critical of Devers on the way out, though. I think the WAR valuation on FanGraphs ($8M/year) is kinda silly. I don't have an issue with DH's having far less WAR than hitters. However, them having a negative dWAR is eyerolling. It should be handled in another manner.

    Brad Pitt won zero WS tho. JH loves that movie.
  18. mvp 78
    I think we all look at it under slightly different lenses. I don't think any of us are necessarily wrong.

    So you think it'll be better without a great hitter???
  21. mvp 78
    He pouted for a bit, but he produced from April - June in a way we had never seen. He was great on the field. That production won't be replaced. It won't. It definitely won't be replaced by swapping in and out KC, Abreu, Duran, Hamilton, etc as you said. Yeah, you give guys a day off, but I'd rather have a guy who can legit OPS 900 at the top of the lineup for the whole year. You can't count on Romy, Toro, Refsnyder and others to do that for the next 3 months. The big three are going to need a breaking in period. They may have some great moments this summer, but the big three are not a finished product.

    Oh, is he too much of a diva to do drills? 😎
  23. mvp 78
    It's not good enough that we have the second highest fWAR catcher. We need the highest fWAR catcher!
  24. mvp 78
    They may see Eldridge as trade fodder at the deadline now that they have a DH for the next decade.
  25. mvp 78
    Why does it matter that Devers didn't want to talk to Ortiz? He was doing fine without him.
