    0 MLB innings in the OF for Hamilton. He’s 2b only.
  2. mvp 78
    Called third strike on a pitch down the middle. Great way to start the game and series.

    He can't play 3b or OF, moon. Stop kidding yourself.

    I didn't notice that DSL started a few days ago... 🤯

    Ok? I didn't see the Rafaela/PCA story in the Weekly World News when I searched for it. The Athletic is a part of NYT now, so that's why a lot of stories are posted there for better or worse.

    Even if Criswell has been a better starter than a reliever, I'd take the other 5 over him at the moment (taking Gio out of the rotation of course).
  9. mvp 78
    If you can only play 2b, YOU ARE NOT A UTILITY PLAYER! Hamilton is a platoon 2b. That's it. If anything, he and Story or Campbell should be sharing 2b for the remainder of the year.

    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.
  14. mvp 78
    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
  15. mvp 78
    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.
  17. mvp 78
    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:
  23. mvp 78
    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:
