    We'll see. Hard to really see how Cora wants these pieces to fit together.

    Masataka Revenge Tour '25

    The Dodgers spend, have a great scouting department and use metrics too. It doesn't make any sense for the Sox to not try to emulate that success in some fashion.

    Why didn't Billy Beane fire Art Howe in Moneyball when Art kept playing Carlos Pena instead of Hatteberg into mid May?
  6. mvp 78
    He's a very unexciting option, but there isn't much left at this point.
  7. mvp 78
    I don't think they want him back.
  8. mvp 78
    His arm is much better than Duran's, which gives him the flexibility to play RF in Fenway unlike Duran.

    I posted recently some excerpts about the scouting issue and their reliance on stats and models. It makes zero sense for a team with huge revenue streams to skimp anywhere that doesn't impact the CBT even if you are relying on it less. Keith Law tends to have an anti-BOS bias per my memory, but I agree with him big time here. At least keep the same scouts and have them confirm your models? I don't get it.

    If it wasn't for the annual Nomar bowling event, he would have been a lifer too!
  11. mvp 78
    Because they is dum dums.
  12. mvp 78
    Metrics have Duran as being better in CF than Rafaela last season. Unless he makes a big stride with the bat, Rafaela is a backup to me.
  13. mvp 78
    Or just pay him more without the deferrals.
  14. mvp 78
    That's up to Cora. Anthony has the speed to play CF and the arm to play a corner, so he'd be a good fit in RF at Fenway IMO.
  15. mvp 78
    LF. Rafaela becomes a backup.
  16. mvp 78
    The Section 10 guys gave it a 1% chance of happening at this point, I believe. Now some of us can breathe a sigh of relief.
  17. mvp 78
    He's a strong side platoon guy with a great glove on a cheap contract. There's no reason to dump him unless you are getting something really great back (i.e. as part of a TOTR starter trade). People are pining for a RHB to platoon against LHP, but Wilyer would get 2/3's of the starts and give you an 825 OPS with GG defense.
  18. mvp 78
    693 OPS vs RHP and a bad glove = overpaid weak side platoon guy
  19. mvp 78
    This Sox team may be more suited to be a beer leaguer.
  20. mvp 78
    Even going back to before last season, it was clear they were waiting on the big 3 and had all of their eggs in that basket. Again, it's a lot of pressure to put on young players and it's a lot of patience you are forcing upon a beleaguered fanbase.
  21. mvp 78
    If JH isn't the majority owner anymore, why should his opinion determine the direction of the franchise?
  22. mvp 78
    Also, they mentioned on a recent podcast that Musset jumped less due to attrition and more due to what they've heard about him in the offseason and his time spent in Ft Myers. Even with the losses, the 6 additions would've most likely kept fringe guys out of the top 60. Kirwin is a little on the upswing due to what they've heard and his performance at AFL too.
  23. mvp 78
    I believe Musett was in the top 60 at various points during last season.
  24. mvp 78
    If O'Neill was a consistent 2 WAR guy, they would have retained him. His career is just a rollercoaster and he had back to back 2 WAR seasons due to all of his injury issues. As he gets older, those injuries will only get worse IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if '24 was his last decent season. His fielding fell off and he had the second highest amount of games played in his career. If he's being replaced by anyone it's Roman Anthony.
  25. mvp 78
    Agree 100%. They are waiting on some young guys to make a jump and don't want to get stuck in a long term deal on a guy that is blocking a better player (see Masataka Yoshida). They are still stuck in the Boston Red Sox Market Value system of FA rather than what players are actually getting on the FA market. They've been behind for several years now because they are still trying to play Moneyball when they should be playing Dodgerball or something close to it.
