    I think any 1 year deal would be fine for Grichuk up to about 8M. I don't think he's going to take less than 6 since he turned a 6M mutual option down this offseason. Expecting a 3M is silly season.
  2. mvp 78
    Hendriks is much more likely to lose the job than Jansen.
  3. mvp 78
    You may be the first mod to get a temp ban with that kind of language.

    O'Neill's OPS vs LHP didn't break 800 in '22 or '23. He's not a sure thing.
  5. mvp 78
    Age is the main reason he's bounced from team to team to team in the past several years. He can still get batters out... for now.
  6. mvp 78
    His Statcast page looks pretty good for '24. He's the only guy that is still available that looks like a definitely upgrade for the pen.
  7. mvp 78
    Pivetta could be a great closer IMO. Not sure he wants to go that direction though. His agent really screwed him over IMO.
  8. mvp 78
    Jansen would be fine, but I don't think Cora or the team wants him back.
  9. mvp 78
    Now that I'm in FL, I only know about Palatka.
  10. mvp 78
    We'll see. Hard to really see how Cora wants these pieces to fit together.

    Masataka Revenge Tour '25

    The Dodgers spend, have a great scouting department and use metrics too. It doesn't make any sense for the Sox to not try to emulate that success in some fashion.

    Why didn't Billy Beane fire Art Howe in Moneyball when Art kept playing Carlos Pena instead of Hatteberg into mid May?
  15. mvp 78
    He's a very unexciting option, but there isn't much left at this point.
  16. mvp 78
    I don't think they want him back.
  17. mvp 78
    His arm is much better than Duran's, which gives him the flexibility to play RF in Fenway unlike Duran.
  18. mvp 78
    I posted recently some excerpts about the scouting issue and their reliance on stats and models. It makes zero sense for a team with huge revenue streams to skimp anywhere that doesn't impact the CBT even if you are relying on it less. Keith Law tends to have an anti-BOS bias per my memory, but I agree with him big time here. At least keep the same scouts and have them confirm your models? I don't get it.
  19. mvp 78
    If it wasn't for the annual Nomar bowling event, he would have been a lifer too!
  20. mvp 78
    Because they is dum dums.
  21. mvp 78
    Metrics have Duran as being better in CF than Rafaela last season. Unless he makes a big stride with the bat, Rafaela is a backup to me.
  22. mvp 78
    Or just pay him more without the deferrals.
  23. mvp 78
    That's up to Cora. Anthony has the speed to play CF and the arm to play a corner, so he'd be a good fit in RF at Fenway IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    LF. Rafaela becomes a backup.
  25. mvp 78
    The Section 10 guys gave it a 1% chance of happening at this point, I believe. Now some of us can breathe a sigh of relief.
