    To nitpick as always: Hamilton isn't decent anymore. He could be DFA'd. Toro was fine as depth as he wasn't even signed to be on the 40 man. He's even played well when called up. The backups have performed better than Casas. Mayer has shown good defense, but that's about it. We haven't really seen even a spark at the plate. Winckowski is in the org doghouse, not Cora's. Cora is happy to churn through him. Criswell is fine as a bulk inning reliever. Sox don't have enough of them right now. I'd rather Fitts and Dobbins start than Criswell.

    I think fWAR is a good reference point when we're talking about players AT THE END OF THE YEAR, but it's definitely not the be all end all. It can be part of the conversation, but can't be the whole thing.

    He was a genius for the month of April. April '24 - 2nd fWAR May '24 - 8th fWAR June '24 - 11th fWAR July '24 - 25th fWAR Aug '24 - 28th fWAR Sept '24 - 16th fWAR

    If Chapman is at 0.8 fWAR and Weissert is at 0.3 fWAR, it doesn't mean he's "slightly better," it means he's almost 200% better than him. It's like comparing a 1 fWAR and 3 fWAR guy.

    I used to have a Sport Magazine subscription when I was a kid and remember a story from 89/90 about nerds taking over baseball, but it was because of people looking at box scores for their Rotisserie Leagues... Oh the humanity.

    PCA was a 1st round high schooler who has had a high SLG every year and was a top 20 prospect. His ceiling is multi-MVP award winner. Rafaela got a 10k signing bonus. His ceiling is going to the All Star Game. It's not fair to compare these two.

    We are in THE STATCAST ERA.

    What metrics of Rafaela's are better than JBJ's? Certainly not the fielding percentage you keep posting about. DRS? OAA? What's your go to?

    For all the fielding percentage heads on here:

    Houck blew up and was pulled from the rotation. Giolito has had a stretch where seemingly every other start is absolutely dogdoo. Bello started off the year hurt, again and hasn't really gotten his footing. They've had to rely too much on untested Fitts (when healthy) and Dobbins. Buehler has been inconsistent, but has been the best of the rest. The first inning has even been Crochet's bugaboo. The bullpen has been better than advertised though!

    If the Sox sweep the Yankees, you can talk about the 27th amendment as a treat on Monday.

    It makes sense because:

    At 600, it was a question on how much he could stay in the lineup. I think it was a fair question too. JBJ's worst hitting season (fulltime in BOS) was 717 to put Ceddanne in perspective. We hated his wild swings in production on here. I think we've been very patient with Rafaela in comparison. If that's around where Ceddanne is, I think we can live with it.

    Not even new terminology.

    I mean, I basically met Tito when he waived to me from the duck boat in 04, so anything is possible.

    If it's from an msn article, it ain't gonna happen.

    Buehler is going to have to pitch a SHO tonight. Not sure the Sox batters will help him out much. 😬 Warren's statcast:
  23. mvp 78
    They were working with GRRM to make the 8th story, but figured it wouldn't be finished before he died.
  24. mvp 78
    Sandlin is interesting. I seem to see the starts where he throws a lot of pitches and looks very relieverish and miss his real quality starts where he goes late into games. He's got STUFF, but needs to harness it. Maybe he's figuring it out? IDK. He'll be in WOO in a few weeks most likely.
  25. mvp 78
    Yeah, Perales is projected to pitch this season. He's in the Bryan Mata position where injuries are going to force him either onto the BOS roster or into a trade after 2026.
