  1. He's not walking hitters and not giving up hard contact. I think we were worried that he could look more backend-ish, but I'm happy even if he is just another middle rotation guy. He throws the entire kitchen sink while he's out there, but might want to skip the cutter going forward or at least limit its use as it's getting hit around more than the other pitches. Kinda weird since it was his only good pitch last season.
  2. In MVP04, I believe the announcers talk every game about how Trot picked his number after Mickey Mantle. After the hundredth time, you want to sub him out, but he's too good going oppo in that game. A lot of people like the 05 version of that game, but I still go back to 04, the one with Pujols on the cover.
  3. Tyler Miller with walk off tater!
  4. David “20 pitches an inning” Sandlin
  5. Also, there is a considerable difference between the WOO tv presentation and POR’s. 😬
  6. Sandlin is not a starter. Overhyped IMO. Early, Dobbins, Fitts are better prospects. Paez may be a better starter profile too.
  7. Interesting as I'm not aware of any rookie being ineligible for the award. I tried searching, but came up empty. Maybe he's confused about this wording concerning pre-arb bonus payments for the ROY and super two players? IDK. There wasn't anything in the CBA that limited a rookie's ability to be voted for ROY from what I read. (This could be outlined in some other document of course.)
  8. No. O'Hoppe doesn't have a very good glove. The only way I'm making that trade for a catcher is if a franchise guy is coming back.
  9. OPS since the start of the TOR series (4/7): Bregman 942 Story 830 Duran 790 Refsnyder 789 Rafaela 713 Campbell 642 Casas 611 Romy 602 Devers 551 Wilyer 534 Narvaez 455 Hamilton 354 Sabol 373 They are arguably punting on 4 bats every night right now. As a team, they are 17th in runs and 24th in wRC+ since 4/7.
  10. Are we sure Masa isn't a better receiver than Sabol?
  11. They could just option him to AAA though as he has 3 options..................
  12. They can't put him in a AAA game, because it starts a clock for how soon he'd have to be put back on the MLB roster.
  13. I think the Sox would eat a lot of the salary in any deal at this point. I think he'll hit again whenever/wherever he plays.
  14. Who wants to extend a 1b anyway? Alonso was a FA and didn't get a massive contract. Not many 1b's that are worth large contracts anymore.
  15. The service time manipulation is about years of control, not arbitration. Those are two different things. Some teams try to get a player to appear later in the year so that they can get more than 6 years of control on a player.
  16. 97th percentile k rate. He's the most underrated bat in our org.
  17. The only issue is the end of the year award voting and its impact on '31. However, if he comes up and is on pace for a ROY, shouldn't the Sox do whatever they can (i.e. overpay) to extend him at that point knowing he's handling MLB fairly well?
  18. In your calculation, you show a player without a 7th year of control. You are basically not agreeing with moon?
  19. Cora doesn't utilize a pinch runner in those situations though. 😩
  20. Win? I will say that I'm not fond of the red jerseys on the road.
  21. If that prospect comes in 1st or 2nd in ROY, the team does NOT get the extra year as the player earns the current year as a full service year.
  22. You can add others to that strikeout profile. It's a roster construction issue created by the current and previous CBO.
  23. I'd be open to it if Campbell was average to above average at these positions. Right now, it's a work in progress.
