    Speier is at the Passan level of trustworthiness IMO.
  2. mvp 78
    100%

    Sox aren't getting a big name reliever this year.
  4. mvp 78
    I thought Holmes would have been a decent pickup.

    The Sox were 11th in wRC+ last year. With Story coming back and all the potential additions from AAA, I'm not sure they really need to invest heavily in offense. If they locked down Fried AND Burnes in one swoop, it'd be a bigger boon to this team than anything else they could do. It potentially gives them a top 5 rotation.

    You read the FCL squad wrong. You listed "returning pitchers" rather than "starting rotation." It would most likely be: Bates Salcedo Lee Balderas Polanco Reyes/Ruiz (when available)

    Which ones are Vaz deficient in?
  8. mvp 78
    Pedro left because the Sox didn't want to re-sign him. Pedro wanted to stay. Manny wanted out because he was miserable. I will not get into the inuendo of the situation.

    This argument has been made for decades. "Players are making enough. How much is too much? Boston isn't a desirable location because it's a smaller media market and the weather stinks? Players don't want to come here because the fans are mean." At some point, these guys just want "the biggest contract" as a source of pride rather than necessity. We already know the financials are absurd, but that's what the market is willing to pay right now. Boston has lured high priced FA's in the past. Why not now?

    They can all be Monty if they want!
  11. mvp 78
    Or 2007. How was THAT a real WS? The Rockies are barely an MLB franchise!
  12. mvp 78
    Not counting 2020 was just copium prior to the Doyers winning the next one.

    Vaz 2024: 78th percentile fielding run value 84th percentile framing 63rd percentile blocks Wong and Jeffers are about the same defensive profile. Bad. Both are bottom 15th percentile in blocks and franking but have decent pop times/caught stealing.

    And the Mets idea may be to tack on an extra year at 50M, which Soto may just rather retire at that point.
  15. mvp 78
    Thank you everyone. This is your friendly reminder to keep this place politics free and let's move on to anything else.
  16. mvp 78
    I specifically mentioned Lopez in my response. You overpaid on a trade for Lopez who had a great 2023, but has just been pretty good otherwise, especially when you look at Statcast (35th percentile run value last year). His only plus pitch last year was his 4 seamer. Hoffman just replaces Martin. You don't lose the Yoshida contract as you attached cash with it. You didn't clarify how much. Now you're paying for a guy that won't even appear.

    Or the Sox. We both lost. 😩
  19. mvp 78
    A few years later, he's got a below market deal!
  20. mvp 78
    It's a really terrible pitching staff you created for a very expensive roster. Monty and Gio in the same rotation could be a real expensive stinker. Pablo is fine, but he Sox would have much control over him for what they gave up.
  21. mvp 78
    LF at Fenway has provided cover for a lot of poor defensive players: Williams Rice Greenwell Manny Bay Gomes Hanley Yoshida
  22. mvp 78
    No, I understood vaguely what happened that the lime tree was grated onto the orange tree and the lime tree failed somehow. Not all oranges are sweet. I wonder what type they were.
  23. mvp 78
    One of the most expensive 87 win teams ever created.
  24. mvp 78
    Not until he's in his late 30's at least. You can put him in LF and he'd be fine. Terrible range. Plus arm (90th percentile arm value). He's better than Manny was.
  25. mvp 78
    He can push back, but it's obvious they weren't REALLY trying to compete. If they were trying, they did a bad job of it.
