    Read my posts after that one.

    I wasn't a fan of all his moves, but at least there was a coherent philosophy.
  3. mvp 78
    Huh? My point is about a larger sample size wherein Narvaez, Toro, et al see their stats diminish from now until September 30th. The last 8 games are just a preamble to the offensive woes we could see the rest of the summer. Over and over, I've had concerns about running out Spring Training lineups and expecting playoff performances this year. It doesn't seem likely to me. This group will have ups and downs. There will be a learning curve. Take the lumps this year so that they'll be ready to go for next year.

    1 out of 5 good moves ain't bad. Also, the Campbell extension isn't a lot of money.
  5. mvp 78
    It just shows an organization that often doesn't seem to know what it is doing and makes hasty decisions after bad decisions. Sign Crawford. Trade Crawford. (bad contract per JH!) Trade Lester due to age. Sign older Price. Don't extend Mookie. Extend Sale and Eovaldi instead. Trade Mookie. (can't afford the extension!) Xander leaves. (fan backlash) Extend Devers. (because of backlash?) Trade Sale. (wins CY after) Offer 700M to eventual DH Soto. (legit?) Trade Devers (underwater contract for a DH!) There just doesn't seem to be a clear strategy here. It's all very confusing and not well thought out.

    If they get any sort of offer for Story, Breslow would say yes before the other team could reconsider.

    Bullpen, bullpen, bullpen? Houck looked ROUGH last night for WOO. Kutter is a back end guy, but could fill in if there's an injury. Harrison has some work to do in WOO before they'll call him up. It may be a while.

    This is just rewriting history for Breslow's sake. Breslow is intentionally not communicating with players. This has not come up before.
  9. mvp 78
    With the Yankees, if you can slow down Judge, the rest of the lineup seems very ordinary.
  10. mvp 78
    Potential trade targets: Bats: Josh Naylor Ozuna (already rumored trade for Devers) SP: Eflin Freddy Peralta Heaney Jake Bird RP: Raisel Iglesias Kyle Finnegan Dennis Santana

    What specifically about those stats do you not like? 1. I'm worried about the offense because of the makeup of the roster this year (not long term). 2. The offense is in a funk, but is being bailed out by the rotation that is balling out. 3. Without a big bopper at the top of the lineup, it's infinitely harder to see who is going to carry this lineup going forward. 4. I like Bregman, but his 158 wRC+ is the highest it has been since 2019 and seems like it make regress some as well.
  12. mvp 78
    Right. Stats you don't like are bad. I get it. The offense is not going well right now. They are leaning on young guys that will struggle at times. Toro will regress. Narvaez will regress. Story is not consistent. Duran is not 2024 Duran. Losing Devers is going to be a problem for this offense.
  13. mvp 78
    They were 4th in runs on June 9th. You think they'll be 4th in runs on September 30th?
  14. mvp 78
    From what I've heard is that Bloom did talk to players more than Breslow and did try to have more of a connection with people. He was available for the team when Vaz was traded. Breslow apparently traveled all the way to Seattle, but when reporters asked players if they've spoken with Breslow, not one say they had. C'mon man...
  15. mvp 78
    Yeah, it goes back to Lester and "not signing pitchers over 30." This ownership just doesn't know how to be a big market ballclub.
  16. mvp 78
    Averaging 1.7 runs/game without Devers! Sox currently on a 2.5 runs/game over the last 8 (28th in runs, 2nd in K%).
  17. mvp 78
    Duran, Abreu, Rafaela Any of them could go and I don't think it'd greatly impact the overall longterm outlook of the franchise. They are all good players, but all replaceable.
  18. mvp 78
    It wasn't my post! He hit 3rd in 80 Games in 2015.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't see any disrespect in those comments. Quite the leap in logic to make that claim.
  20. mvp 78
    I watched the GRE game and Holobetz pitched fairly well. Seemed to have some swing and miss. Offense didn't do anything. Arias looks slow running the bases to me.
  21. mvp 78
    I figured something must have happened because I saw a bunch of people say he needed to be called up. 🙄
  22. mvp 78
    I think that was bad sentence structure and trying to say it took four years for Bogey to bat at the top of the lineup. Pedroia was just an aside.
  23. mvp 78
    If Breslow had not lied in his year end presser and said that he would talk to Devers prior to any changes to his position and subsequently lied to Devers about saying they weren't interested in signing Bregman or trading for Arenado and Devers was going to be the 3b or even spoke to Devers prior to ST, Devers would still be a Red Sox.
  24. mvp 78
    I was just thinking in terms of day to day performance, not overall health. Every pitcher seems to be a ticking timebomb.
  25. mvp 78
    Sure it happens, it just feels like it's happening to the Sox at a very high percentage right now. To me, I kinda expect the FA success rate to be 50%. Sox are at the losing end of things over the past few years. When factoring in things like the Sale trade, Breslow's tenure hasn't exactly been a slam dunk either. There's a good reason to remain skeptical and not be all in on their analytics only approach.
