    Hope springs eternal.

    He wasn't going to pitch this year until they ended up below .500. Now they'll get their money's worth.

    Sunk Cost Fallacy I'm sure the reason Story is still here is that they don't want to eat the entire salary, but nobody else wants to take on any portion of it. My guess is that he plays out this season and then is gone this offseason.
  4. mvp 78
    Bogey leaving had an impact, but I don't know how much of a leader he was aside from being friends with Raffy. He was part of '19, '20, '22.

    With the pitchers, it's more about development now than winning games. They really don't care about the overall numbers and want them to actually work on becoming better pitchers than putting up eyepopping stats. They'll have a guy throw 3 horrible sliders in a row, not because it's the right pitch to call but because the guy needs to learn how to throw it.

    SoxProspects have not been super high on Arias's ceiling and believe he won't tap into much power. If that turns around, maybe he can really be a top prospect. I don't believe they see him as a starting SS for the Red Sox or at least outcompeting Mayer for the job. I think they'd project him as a weak hitting 2B if it came down to it. It's interesting the guys the do and do not get overly excited about at times. Maybe they are just tempering their excitement? IDK.

    IDK about that. There were so many complaints about Sale's lack of leadership. How many years did his team underperform while he was here? How many times did we hear about him cutting up jerseys or doing something ridiculous. I think the team may lack a leader, but it's not due to the loss of Sale. When did the culture really change here? It was after Mookie left.

    Now do xFIP.

    It's why they signed Pablo Sandoval. "He really embodies a lot of what we care about,” Cherington said. “This is a guy that has been a big winner. He’s been a performer when it counts the most."

    Mayer
  11. mvp 78
    No.

    Insider Declares Fansided Story to be a Non-story
  13. mvp 78
    Cora could have dragged that team to .500.
  14. mvp 78
    Sox have had some good mojo injuries in the past: putting on cowboy boots, taking out the trash, napping.
  15. mvp 78
    Hendriks still believes he's a highly valuable bullpen arm. With his FB velo down 2 mph, his value has shifted dramatically. He's now more of a low leverage fungible guy that teams would run through and DFA as needed.
  16. mvp 78
    The Sox decided not to go for it this year when they didn't trade for Dom Smith immediately once Casas went down.
  17. mvp 78
    You've been posting with me for 9 years... C'mon man... Get your head in the game!
  18. mvp 78
    What did it look like the year they tried it without Cora in 2020? Per 162, it would have been a 65 win team.
  19. mvp 78
    Ah, it's "mojo" that's causing all these arm injuries across the league. Got it.
  20. mvp 78
    IDK, they apparently thought highly of Hamilton and wouldn't part with him in trades over the winter? Looks bad in retrospect.
  21. mvp 78
    Mayer and Anthony were highly touted early on. Campbell kind of came out of nowhere and the Sox are taking A LOT of credit for him, rather than saying "wow, look at where all this hard work got Kristian."
  22. mvp 78
    More likely to be traded than called up.
  23. mvp 78
    Average 1B has a 760 OPS. That was his OPS two weeks ago. He can get back there.
  24. mvp 78
    Yeah, Campbell had a pretty bad Spring, but the goal all along was to get him on the roster the second he showed signs of life. Is it because he's the prospect they could point to as "he's OUR developmental success story"?
  25. mvp 78
    I agree on both points. The transition in Spring Training should have been "hey, we'll need you to be a DH/1B guy so let's just get you a 1B mitt that you can practice with and you won't have to worry about playing there fulltime immediately." What's the harm? "We want to play you there 25 games a year, but might need you for more if there's an injury."
