    Mullins started this year in GRE and carries significant injury risk. I think they are intentionally going slow with him.

    I think when a tiny portion of us mentioned that Pivetta could get a QO, it was because he would either refuse and Sox would get compensation OR the worst is the Sox get a dependable back end guy for one more year. Most posters disagreed that the Sox would even consider giving him a QO. Ultimately, he signed for 4/55 which seems like a great deal to me. I wish the Sox did that instead of Buehler.

    That stiff?
  6. mvp 78
    That's not really what he said. What he said was that other teams were looking to trade for bats (Sox don't really have any in the org that are close to being ready) and that they value their pitchers more highly than outside evaluators. With what we've seen from Tolle and Early, maybe they should hold onto these young arms?

    Roberts wasn't the only acquisition that deadline... Going into the playoffs, he wasn't even listed in top 2 of importance.
  8. mvp 78
    Are you really giving Breslow credit for obtaining Lowe off the waiver wire?
  9. mvp 78
    That's not MY opinion. I think they just needed better 4/5 options. I didn't think they should have wasted their time trying to go for Ryan at all.

    In 290 Innings, Roman has put up 8 DRS/4 OAA in RF. I think he could capably take over for Abreu. If they moved on from Abreu instead of Duran, I don't think there's a big slippage in defense.
  11. mvp 78
    He was really bad last season until the final 10 IP. I don't think everyone was sold on him.

    Here's the corresponding move for Harrison.

    In years past, the Sox swooned and missed the playoffs. Not sure starting relievers (which they HAVE done) is a good comparison. Feel free to defend the DFA'd Buehler. I won't, but you can. Buehler's rank among starters with 100+ IP 2nd worst FIP 10th worst ERA 3rd worst HR/FB% 3rd worst BB/9 4th worst K/BB 5th worst WHIP WORST fWAR 7 QS ties Andrew Heaney who was also DFA'd

    We've said before "there's no way all these guys are still on the roster" and have seen offseasons come and go. Who know what the OF rotation looks like. I would say that two spots go should go to Rafaela and Anthony. I'm open to any other combination of guys after that.
  15. mvp 78
    Trade Deadline didn't work out, but Sox are still winning for once. Ultimately, we may change our tune depending on how the playoffs end up.
  16. mvp 78
    It's just what they need for the last few weeks of the season, not for the rest of is career. Plus, if he's in the bullpen, he can lean on his FB more and not have to worry about the pitch mix the Sox were tinkering with that caused his on field numbers to dip in AAA.
  17. mvp 78
    72 sounded high!
  18. mvp 78
    He's a bad defender, but if his bat is good enough it'll play above Garcia.
  19. mvp 78
    I'm not a Cease fan due to the high bb rate. Not sure what Bres thinks about him.
  20. mvp 78
    The problem is that the Sox can't go with a 3 man rotation. Post-ASB, it was May and Buehler at the 4/5 and neither will be pitching down the stretch. Both had negative fWAR (combined 2-5 record) in that time period and weren't holding up their end of the bargain. If the Sox had better 4/5 options, there'd either be a bigger WC cushion or would be leading the division. May was a failure. Not replacing Buehler was a failure.
  21. mvp 78
    Perales, Sandlin, Witherspoon, Phillips, Eyanson, Paez, Fajardo, Uberstine: RHP The pitching will get righted soon enough.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't know about that. Early on, there was something very special about Kershaw's curve. I saw many of his starts live and the only other curve I remember being in awe of was Barry Zito's. I got to see both of them a bunch.
  23. mvp 78
    The real joke is some of the vets we tried throwing out there. Sheesh. "I think Buehler is a good signing because he really turned it around the last 10 innings of the playoffs!" "Once Bailey can work with Dustin May!" At least we don't have to rely on the Brad Peacocks of the world to get through the season.
  24. mvp 78
    Great night for Early. I was always surprised that SoxProspects were lower on him than the other guys. He seemed to have all the tools fly through MiLB and have a shot as a back end guy somewhere (5 pitches, 4 above average pitches, lefty, good frame). Once he added a little velo, he reached that next level. Not sure he'll be this dominant going forward, but it's nice to dream on the ceiling.

    If he doesn't look good in the IF, he becomes a COF.
