    This was a year a lot of posters were waiting on and noting the pitching talent available. Now that it's almost over and the Sox haven't signed anyone, it's a bad year?

    Martin or Kelly would be great. I'm not sure Kiké would be an upgrade at SS. He has positional versatility, but he was a nightmare in 2023. Iglesias can't play SS anymore. They've had several opportunities to bring him back and don't really seem inclined to even when they've had a huge MIF need.

    They had to go in a different direction once the core of the team was going to be walking out the door. If Mookie could have stayed, JH would have kept the ball rolling IMO.

    Ben was fired because he couldn't keep the Sox from falling into last place every other year. He also had some pretty bad signings. Bloom was fired because he couldn't keep the Sox from falling into last place every other year. He also had some pretty bad signings. You can't say that about DD. Why was he fired? He won the division back to back to back. He won a WS. One off year shouldn't get a CBO/GM fired.
  5. mvp 78
    DD got fired because he created a payroll mess that led to Mookie being traded away.
  6. mvp 78
    If he plays 140 games, he’s easier to deal again.
  7. mvp 78
    I’m impugning the blogger.
  8. mvp 78
    Maybe. I just don’t see the need when Refsnyder exists.

    PECOTA and Steamer also had the 4th place Twins winning their division instead last year. Also really undervalued the Royals (who added a lot last offseason), Mets, Padres and Brewers (who won the division the previous season). 🫠 They even missed the White Sox win total by 25 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. mvp 78
    Both PECOTA and Steamer projected the Cardinals to go from worst to first in 2024 and their season last year is now causing a sell off.
  11. mvp 78
    They had the same '22 preseason odds as the Phillies who ended up in the WS. '21: 85-77 (not a banner year for Steamer)
  12. mvp 78
    Steamer '24: 79-83 '23: 81-81 '22: 86-76

    Romy has options as well.
  14. mvp 78
    Need flyball strikeout pitchers since the OF is good.
  15. mvp 78
    In order for Wilson to be squeezed out, they'd need to find a LHP that can clearly beat him out (aside from Chapman). SoxProspects projects him as starting on the 60 man with Sandoval. After that, they'd use his option to work his way back in AAA rather than MLB IMO. Penrod? Doubtful. Bernardino has one more year so he may start the year in AAA as well, but he's the only guy that might beat out Wilson at some point.
  16. mvp 78
    Once they added him to the 40, they used him because they were running out of arms by the end of the year. They added him to get him to pitch in BOS to see if it would be worth keeping him around. I think he's closer to Shugart than SoxProspects would like you to believe.
  17. mvp 78
    Rafaela had a -7 OAA last year (-8 for 23/24), but I'd take him over Romy or Hamilton going forward to be the SS. I'm willing to ignore Kiké's -12 OAA.

    If they were to make a move simply for the projections, it would be to sign Bregman's 4.2 fWAR and move Devers to DH/1B. Grandal for C would be a decent timeshare option too.
  20. mvp 78
    Not sure the sample size is large enough for me to determine if he's better at SS than Hamilton. The only benefit to Romy is that he can play every position except C.
  21. mvp 78
    I asked my magic 8 ball if they'd be .500ish this year and it said "you may rely on it."
  22. mvp 78
    Penrod was older and had to be added to the 40 man by the end of the year or would have been a FA. He was rushed and not necessarily deserving.
  23. mvp 78
    Bonds for Leyritz, Bernie, Fox and Drews (seems light to go with Fox IMO) Griffey for Rivera, Ledee (writer noted Ledee as a can't miss premier prospect, but he wasn't in the Yanks top 10 at the time and still in A ball) IMO, I think they can get the Bonds deal done, but there's no way that Griffey deal works out. That's just yuck.
  24. mvp 78
    The win total and a conversation about "the FO didn't do enough because they are 14th in projected fWAR for batters" are two completely different things.
  25. mvp 78
    He was going to include Jeter and Posada in those deals. 100%
