  1. Why would they bring in Arenado to play 1B? Having a 1B that hits below 725? Yuck!
  2. Per Brock's posts after each previous ranking, he was ranked 8th in September and 10th in October. I believe the Top 20 list you're referencing has an error in it.
  3. I think we're seeing why they changed Winter Weekend... 🧛‍♂️🍅🤾‍♂️
  4. Some interesting names. The positional players are better than this year. The pitching may not be much of a step down. Catcher: Realmuto 1B: Vlad, Naylor, Goldy 2B: Arraez, Torres, Flores SS: Bichette 3B: not much OF: Tucker, Schwarber, Bellinger, Mullins, Conforto, Ozuna SP: Cease, Gallen, Framber, Monty, Bieber, Woodruff, Eflin, Senga, Ranger Suarez, Bassitt, Buehler, Nestor, Merrill Kelly, May, Civale, Maeda RP: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Helsley, Raisel Iglesias, Aroldis, Robert Suarez, Pressly, Hendriks, Kopech, Romano, Taylor Rogers
  5. What credibility? This was the year to earn it back. Not sure there's any to lose.
  6. He's not a good IFer. May need to transition to the OF. Really limited ceiling as he has poor defense and not much power.
  7. I'm not so sure, but I'm also not a current Trackman employee. Triston has just been a guy that has been injured most years since he's been drafted (not quite as bad as Mayer, but similar).
  8. I think that's an issue with your browsing. I get adds for health care, Vanguard and local stores like Publix.
  9. Yeah, 2021 was really DD's team, but would have been better with Mookie still on it.
  10. How to judge? Projected fWAR for the next year? Vibes? Contracts given out?
  11. Having an in-game baseball injury is one thing, Triston's issue is a red flag.
  12. The guys that can actually impact the Sox the most (the top of the 50) are generally gone. Only one of the top 10 projected fWAR guys is still available (Bregman). Only 9 of the top 30 are available and vast majority of those don't seem like fits. Only unsigned guy that has been linked to the Sox on the front page of FanGraphs Free Agent Tracker is Bregman. It's either Bregman and/or another reliever. That's it for this offseason.
  13. The vast majority of MLB players have one or more major flaws. The Mets just signed a guy for 750M who isn't a good defender. How many all around players are really left in the game?
  14. Henry not being consistent isn't entirely a surprise. Also, Henry giving the CBO the keys to the car and then just taking them away rather than micromanaging the signings is what we actually want. Right? Did he give DD autonomy he wouldn't give other CBO's and then just regretted it later on?
  15. His value took a huge hit with his IL stint last season.
  16. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/baseball-americas-2025-scout-survey-evaluators-fear-games-direction-amid-doom-and-gloom-offseason/ Free BA article on an offseason scout industry survey. Many scouts are worried that baseball has leaned to far towards analytics and isn't relying on scouts anymore. Orgs considered to be the most scout friendly: Dodgers, Padres, Royals Orgs considered to be unfriendly to scouts (0 scouts stated these teams were most friendly and more that 10 scouts stated these teams as being least friendly): Guardians, O's, Red Sox Which orgs are best at identifying talent: Red Sox 0% If the Sox have a lot of financial might and scouts don't count against the CBT, it is really foolish not to spend in this area even if it's not your highest priority. Mixing scouting and analytics seems like the best bet rather than leaning solely on analytics. We'll have to see how this impacts the Sox over the next 3-5 years.
  17. They have the ability, but not the desire.
  18. And how's that working out?
  19. The reason he was listed as being hard to work with was that he didn't like Sam Kennedy being in every meeting. I wonder who pushed that complaint to the media?
