    Heading in the wrong direction. Whitlock > Slaten > Watson
  2. mvp 78
    So many pitchers pop up and have a great 4-5 year stretch. Not being able to keep it up for a full decade is what weeds out the non-HOFers.
  3. mvp 78
    If a guy like Santana is getting in, then Brett Saberhagen has to get in.
  4. mvp 78
    Underrated such that he's about as good as Nolan Ryan, but people don't think that. Greinke just ended up retiring sooner. Better ERA+, WHIP, K/BB, bWAR/162.
  5. mvp 78
    100% Enmanuel Valdez's fault.
  6. mvp 78
    I was clearly referencing Story being at 2b because that's the move I've wanted Cora to make for quite some time now.
  7. mvp 78
    That's how it worked if you go through the transaction log for Bastardo and Paez. There were questions on if the Sox would strike a deal with the other teams so that the players could be returned in order to bypass the waiver claim process. It eventually didn't matter.
  8. mvp 78
    No, he gets put through waivers. Any other team can claim him prior to him going back to whatever his previous team was. He would keep the Rule 5 rights if claimed.

    HOF Jaws has ranked 30th all time. He's 25th all time in bWAR. He's 69th all time in WAR7Adj. Guys in the Nolan Ryan tier: Jenkins, Scherzer, Greinke, Schilling, Mussina, Roberts, Glavine, Kershaw, Marichal. Ryan was a good to great pitcher every year, but didn't have the peak that upper echelon HOFers had.

    Helps when you are pitching to Benito Santiago and have Robbie Alomar and Gary Templeton right behind you.
  11. mvp 78
    Sox were 10th in fWAR at 2b in '22. 🤔
  12. mvp 78
    I was just listing several options available to them. Ryan Watson has been fairly disappointing. I don't know if there are different expectations for him, but I think the Sox can do better than just holding onto one roster spot for a clear mop up guy. Unless they seem him as a future 7th/8th inning guy, the years of control don't make sense. Who cares? His statcast page gets worse every time he pitches.

    This is all Beacon's fault. Boo Beacon! Bring back Carmine!
  14. mvp 78
    World Series MVP Bruce Hurst.
  15. mvp 78
    In order to add, someone would have to come off: Casas - 60 day DFA/Deal an IFer (Seigler, Cheng, Sogard) DFA Watson Crawford - 60 day
  16. mvp 78
    After KC went down, that was 2b last year 75% of the time.
  17. mvp 78
    Romy/Hamilton platoon. Yeah.
  18. mvp 78
    Just put him at #2 now and get him used to hitting there.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't believe the promotion from AA to AAA is as big of an adjustment for hitters, so he may not see a second half flameout.
  20. mvp 78
    They were happy with Mayer at 3b for all of the offseason if Bregman didn't sign. Once they found out that Romy was out, they had to pivot and acquire Durbin. Ranger was the settle.
  21. mvp 78
    "Ranger Suarez" was the settle. That is what everyone said at the time he was signed.
  22. mvp 78
    Verlander and Kershaw are pretty close to me. I'd have both of them behind Pedro, Clemens, Big Unit and Maddux.
  23. mvp 78
    Having 5 players who can't all play at once is causing them to be out of rhythm and underperform. Duran looks terrible. Anthony is off to an awful start. Bad roster construction!
  24. mvp 78
    The settle was Suarez I thought? Durbin's deal just replaces a bullpen contract or whoever else Breslow would've acquired at that point in the offseason.
  25. mvp 78
    No.
