    Red Sox 2019: First 28 games .393 winning % Remaining games through 8/31 .574 If they had just played at .574 the whole season, they wouldn't have been out of it on 8/31 and had to pack in the season (15 GB 1st place, 5 GB WC).

    Devers: 3.4 RngR (career Range Runs above average at 3b) Bregman: -8.1 Remote plays made (1-10% likelihood): Devers: 2.9 Bregman: 1.4 Even plays made (40-60% likelihood): Devers: 55.4 Bregman: 49.0 🕔

    1.77 assists per game vs 1.75 per game. Devers actually throws out more guys per game than Bregman!
  5. mvp 78
    He's 1 for 3 over his last 3 seasons. Seems more likely that he'll be under 5 fWAR than not!
  6. mvp 78
    A lot of Mayer highlights from yesterday. Maybe he can keep it going today?

    When your offseason is Blooming:
  8. mvp 78
    Well, that's a big IF then, since the majority of his seasons haven't been s tier. Assuming a 5 fWAR season for him is far from a given. It seems more likely that he'll be a 3 fWAR guy. If that happens, is he still getting 400M for the upside???
  9. mvp 78
    How does Bregman's arm compare to Devers'? It's messy.
  10. mvp 78
    If you package Yoshida with Abreu it only reduces the return. I don't see that bringing back Cease even if the Padres are trying to bring down payroll.
  11. mvp 78
    Wilson and Chapman.

    Could they sign Vlad Jr? Sure. Will they? It's probably like a 15-20% chance IMO. There will be a lot of bidders and the Sox haven't showed that they will go large AND long in FA yet. The Vlad deal will be 10/400 or something. He's only been worth that AAV 2 out of the 6 years he's been in the league. I think there may be hesitancy on the Sox side. I think the market may go above and beyond what they are comfortable spending on a bad body 1B/DH when they already have Raffy.

    Here are the pinch runners in the Sox '24 extra innings games (used defensive replacements if they then went to 2nd base in the bottom half of the inning): Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Romy Dalbec Nobody Valdez Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody While that was a bit of a tedious exercise, it showed that Cora did use a little bit of pinch running early on, but went away from it after the first few months. There were several games where Casas or other slow runners were on 2nd in the 10th and they were not subbed for. Other teams were much more likely to sub in pinch runners from what I saw, even for well regarded offensive players.
  14. mvp 78
    Sox had 20 extra innings games last season. I'm not sure I want to hold onto Hamilton so that he can show up once every 10 games or so.

    And yet he's still "rehabbing" the shoulder.
  18. mvp 78
    He hasn't cleared rehab yet. It's not typical slow and steady Spring Training stuff this year with Devers.
  19. mvp 78
    Devers remains injured and Campbell isn't ready. I have no idea where Devers' shoulder is at. He took some fielding today, so maybe he's on the right track?
  20. mvp 78
    And I'm not slagging on Mayer when I say those things. I think his biggest fault has been his ability to stay healthy. Easing him into the season may be better for him anyway this year. He's almost ready. It'll be exciting when he finally gets the call.
  21. mvp 78
    Even if Mayer is crushing AAA pitching in Spring Training, I think he needs to go to AAA for at least a few months. He has platoon splits and struggles with offspeed stuff more so than either Campbell or Anthony. He's not as ready as the other two. Spring Training results aren't always indicative of future success (Yairo Munoz, Pedro Ciriaco, et al).
  22. mvp 78
    He may be in BOS at some point for sure, I just don't think it'll be in April.
  23. mvp 78
    Romy and Hamilton aren't starting players. They just aren't. If they can't handle part time roles, they can be DFA'd and be replaced by Grissom/Toro/Sogard and the difference would be negligible.
  24. mvp 78
    If Campbell isn't on the roster: Devers 3b Bregman 2b If Devers is unable to play 3b and Campbell is in AAA: Bregman 3b Grissom/Romy/Hamilton 2b all take turns fumbling the bag until Campbell is ready (it's what they've tried the past 2 seasons in the middle IF and it has never worked before, so why would it work now?)
  25. mvp 78
    To me, if Bregman is at 3b and there's an opening at 2b, Campbell is getting the first crack at it.
