  1. I think you should call up Slugger from AA and get some good prospects for Wally.
  2. He was already on the roster and was highly unlikely to make more than his extension via arbitration. I just don't see the reason now for the extension and didn't see the reasoning back then aside from "hey fans, we're trying." However, Bello's makes sense due to the rising cost in pitcher salaries. I think simply extending Bello would have been enough for fans.
  3. It doesn't matter what it buys you on the open market, the Sox didn't have to spend it.
  4. I don't really care what they do with Rafaela. Trade him, bench him, make him the starting CFer. I also don't think people would be screaming about an extension for him as nobody is really upset over a lack of an extension for Hamilton, Slaten, Casas, Crawford, Houck, Abreu, etc. Wilyer has outperformed Rafaela since being called up in '23 and not one person has questioned the lack of extension. Using bWAR (favorable to Rafaela), Abreu has a career 5.5 war while Ceddanne is at 3.6. Where are the Wilyer Warriors banging the drum on getting this extension signed? He's a great defender AND mashes!
  5. One is an all time great player that you build a franchise around. One is an ok player that had a great season and is easily parted with.
  6. I may be alone on an island here, but my priority is wins and losses! 🤔
  7. I'm just waiting for the Reggie Jefferson one.
  8. I don't think the Sox see him as a RFer. Right now, he's mostly playing LF in WOO. If they wanted to utilize his speed going forward, they'd plop him in RF, but I guess they think his best fit is LF.
  9. Are we sure Abreu's value is that high? Everyone around the league knows his faults. I think they could get some good prospects for him, but I don't think it would knock our socks off.
  10. Duran is NOT Betts. Really tough comparison there. Betts left BOS after his year 26 season. Duran's year 26 season was '23.
  11. The development system helped a little, but 90+% of the credit has to go to Campbell. Unfortunately, there's a lot of slapping each other on the backs right now over how great of a job they did with this guy. Pretty annoying. He's been great. The type of player you want around for a long time and a guy you really want to root for.
  12. The only way Devers plays first is if Casas is traded midseason and the phase Devers in.
  13. People said Breslow didn't do enough for catcher in the offseason, but Narvaez has a higher fWAR and bWAR than Higashioka so far. I think the Sox move on from Wong at the end of the year.
  14. Now you have a 6AAV guy for the life of the contract going against the CBT with a notoriously cheap ownership. Why? It just doesn't make sense if you're betting on upside for a guy who is glove first.
  15. There are more people on this site saying it's a good deal than I've seen anywhere else. Even the SoxProspects guys think the deal was unnecessary.
  16. When Mayer goes down with a hamstring injury in August in WOO: fire Breslow, he never would have been injured if he was in Boston!
  17. No, you have it wrong. Solomon wanted it split right at the belly. The moms wanted it split right down the sternum. Solomon, being so wise, realized that the first half of the season is 81 games, not 95 and decided the matter was all too silly and just had the moms race an anthropomorphized manna to see who (or what) would win the baby.
  18. It's an arbitrary marker that makes no sense in terms of Devers's production when you look at the game logs.
  19. You wanted half a season. I gave you half a season. Split it down the middle like Solomon's baby. Not good enough?
  20. That doesn't even make any sense, Devon. You link to a half baked article and then want to call me CHB? Ok? I've been called worse on here!
  21. Ok, Devon.
  22. Well, if you want HALF of a season. 1st half of his PA's (300): 913 OPS 2nd half of is PA's (301): 829 OPS
  23. I know what you're up to Devon Platana and I'm sick of it. 😡
