    Verdugo: 0.7 bWAR Weissert: 0.6 bWAR Seems like a fair deal... Oh, the Sox also got Fitts 0.6 bWAR and a 6'8" developmental pitcher? That one paid off IMO.
  2. mvp 78
    Higher OPS+ and bWAR than Arraez and yet the Sox could commit to starting the guy at various points during the year. Very weird.
  3. mvp 78
    Moves like Slaten are what give me hope for Breslow. He was decisive during the Rule 5 draft and traded to get him. There was clearly something in the metrics and scouting that they saw and it really worked out.

    I think other teams just have different holes in their lineups that need to be filled. I think if the Sox covered a certain portion of Masa's salary, that a trade would be worthwhile to the team.
  5. mvp 78
    I'd advocate for Masa to leave and be replaced by internal options instead of FA ones.
  6. mvp 78
    I don't think we could feel any worse about Masa right now. Whatever scout liked him should be sent to STL.

    Are we really doing W/L now? I'd rather them use that money on the pen.

    I'd do the deal with Abreu today. The Campbell deal would only work if Lopez is 2023 Lopez going forward and the Sox are planning on competing the next 3 years.
  9. mvp 78
    Too suggestive...

    Body surfing? I know we're old in here, but c'mon!
  11. mvp 78
    It's probably a fair trade. I like 2023 Lopez a lot more than 2024 Lopez. My question would be what happened to him last year and is there an expectation that he's going to look more like that going forward? If so, it's a no from me dog.

    And I agree with OP, that team "has to be up there." 🤩

    Happy 20th anniversary, everyone! Did this one game bring you back from the pit of despair that was game 3 and the memories of 2003?
  14. mvp 78
    No, because I don't think Kikuchi is much better than Crawford or Bello.

    Was listening to the newest SoxProspects podcast with Red Sox Player Development Director Brian Abraham and Brian said "if a player reaches AA it gives you a better idea if they are a suspect or a prospect." I believe my car airbags went off and sent me to TalkSox Valhalla.

    We can give them a grab bag of David Hamilton, Josh Winckowski, Richard Fitts and Allan Castro.
  17. mvp 78
    I don't think Kikuchi is a SP1.
  18. mvp 78
    He drinks WhistlePig.

    I don't think 2020 is the problem here. He gets a big time pass for that. The reason he got fired was 2022 and 2023. By that time, he should have been able to figure out the payroll issues.
  20. mvp 78
    By focusing on the bottom of the 40 man to impact change instead of the top of the 40 man.
  21. mvp 78
    I don't think he's going to automatically look at his watch in three years and go: TIME TO GET RID OF BRESLOW! He may fire him sooner. He may take another year. He may keep him on. Who knows?
  22. mvp 78
    I'm not desperate and don't even believe the narrative. Does that sentence work for you? Has he replaced the GM/CBO/guy everyone here thinks is in charge every 4 years since Theo left?
  23. mvp 78
    Valera is the clear #1. I'd put Reyes 2, but that's just me and probably just projecting more into the future rather than current performance, but I do really get hot and bothered about scoreless streaks (see: Monegro, Yordanny).
  24. mvp 78
    John Henry REPLACES the GM/CBO every 4 years. Is that better?
  25. mvp 78
    He tried to look smart rather than just be smart.
