    It's not a steal if it's an overpay IMO.
  2. mvp 78
    I didn't mean to pile on. I just read from oldest response to new and respond as I go. 🥺

    I'm not for overpaying for Cease. He doesn't do it for me. He's just a wildly inconsistent guy and if you simply want to lengthen the rotation, you can get a similar option with a cheaper deal. If he's pitching this bad at Petco, I don't want to see him at Fenway.

    There already are key injuries IMO. Mayer could be out for a while and there isn't a good solution at 2b. They will end up putting Rafaela at 2b most likely, which helps the offense, but hurts the defense (Masa will have to put on football pads to play LF with Duran out there apparently). Bregman is now physically limited. We don't know if his leg will get better over time, or if it just needs offseason rest. Dobbins is out. Tanner is out. Significant 60 day IL: Casas, Crawford, Winckowski, Slaten (all expected to be contributors prior to the season)

    Murphy really wouldn't have had a starting role until 2010. He probably would have been dealt at some point just like Josh Reddick was. They used to manage the OF roster crunch by dealing players.
  6. mvp 78
    That trade worked out for both teams. Sox needed an experienced starter and the O's needed young talent. Boddicker contributed to two playoff runs (9.1 fWAR, 11.4 bWAR) in his 2.5 years with the Sox. Schilling didn't become a very good starter until '92 and had already been moved from the O's to HOU to PHI.

    The same wrist he had an issue with in '22 that had him miss a month. This was just caused by him swinging the bat and not a contact issue, correct?

    Also, Happy Birthday to Sox legends: Nomar Garciaparra, Ray Scarborough, Strick Shofner, Matt Hall and Chase Meidroth.

    Ruth was moved in the offseason. According to the guy I bought my last mattress from, the trade was Jeff Bagwell for Phil Plantier. I was so confused as to where he came up with that nonsense. He said his family used to nanny for someone in the Bagwell family or something. At least the mattress has worked out ok so far (Prana, FYI).

    Everyone has signed except for the 20th rounder Garrison Sumner. They can go up to about $183k for him.
  13. mvp 78
    You want him to have a short and terrible career? Get injured? Why? What's the point in holding ill will after a player leaves? It's over. Turn the page.

    Have you met our GM's since 2002?

    Overpay for a 4.64 starter. Where do I sign up? High BB/9. High HR/9. High BABIP (same rate as '21, '23). Low LOB%. Gets barreled like he's playing Donkey Kong (12th percentile). He's a two pitch pitcher (88% slider or 4 seam) and the FB has a negative run value. When he's putting it all together, it's great to watch. He can fall apart really quickly though. Not worth an overpay for only 2 months.
  18. mvp 78
    And they need to see if they fall apart and need to deal half their roster on the 31st.
  19. mvp 78
    Prior to his TJS, he wasn't good in MLB (he was projected to be and rushed through the minors). Since coming back, he's only pitched 140 innings of high quality ball. It's not a track record I can really trust TBH. Maybe he's a #2 or even better? I just haven't personally seen him pitch and am only going by his FanGraphs, bref and Savant pages. I'd be more comfortable with Ryan than Bubic, but there's a very good chance that Bubic is better than Ryan. Ryan is more of a known commodity and I believe the Sox could really make a run with him and Crochet.
  20. mvp 78
    Henry maybe made the decision to go lighter on payroll and not sign Schwarber, BUT THEY STILL ENDED UP GOING OVER THE LUX TAX in 2022! I would have rather done so with Schwarber on board.
  21. mvp 78
    Cheering for the Red Sox in a Red Sox forum... How could we let this happen?!?!?
  22. mvp 78
    The face is now Roman or Crochet IMO.
  23. mvp 78
    Cabrera, Alcantara and Gallen aren't guys you pair with Crochet for a stretch run this year. They each have individual issues that would involve tweaks to getting them to becoming #2's. I'd have Bello and maybe even Giolito in front of them at this point. The only guy that has been a good pairing with Crochet would be Ryan.
  24. mvp 78
    "We can't pay two DH's! What are we billionaires made of money?!?!?" I believe that was the argument at the time.
  25. mvp 78
    This is the one matchup I liked. Bats need to really show up though. Gio has been on a hot streak. Luzardo has been really up and down with some disastrous starts. Only 2 games over 5 IP in his last 6 starts. Their bullpen is rested though (last in MLB in IP).
