    I'm just saying I'd think about going that high if I needed to.
  2. mvp 78
    I've never visited the arcane world of MLB arbitration so it's hard to say one way or the other. They still have time to come to agreement before it gets that far.
  3. mvp 78
    No opt out gets the Sox to keep an ace here for several years if he stays healthy and productive. That's the difference.
  4. mvp 78
    I mean, I feel the same way I did as the day Mookie was traded. It's up to them to fix it. 🫠
  5. mvp 78
    No different than every ARB negotiation. An increase now has a cascading impact on ARB years 2, 3 and 4. They are trying to save money on all 4 years, not just 2025.

    If Crochett is going to walk because he won't sign a Cole deal, I wouldn't agree to an opt out after '27. It provides protection for him and screws over the Red Sox if he has a career ending injury. Might as well make it a mutual option so the Sox can get out of it. Breslow needs to nut up and give an offer that is good enough that he doesn't feel like he needs to test the market.

    The established projection system that hasn't always projected very well in the past. Let's compare notes at the end of the season!
  8. mvp 78
    It's not really one less. With a six man rotation, the bullpen will be the same size it was back when they won all their WS titles.
  9. mvp 78
    Is Breslow ballsy enough to give him a HUGE contract to stick around as the ace of the team for the next 5-6 years?
  10. mvp 78
    Even if Gio isn't ready, Criswell will be. It's not like they are going with Ryan Weber as their 4th and a bullpen day on the fifth.
  11. mvp 78
    Yeah, I too would project a career LOW k rate and career HIGH bb rate. Seems normal! He had a great rookie year, but that's still skewing the sample that the calculation is running. He dropped 20 wRC+ in his second year and another 12 last year. Why would I assume he'd go back to 2022 which seems to be an outlier? Doesn't make sense to me.
  12. mvp 78
    Why obsess about something that may not even be on Crochet's mind? I just don't get it. We can come up with an idea of what an extension could look like. A poster could say "he may want an opt out." Great. Do we have to talk about that one idea for 200 posts now? Instead of just saying "well I think it might look like this," moon wanted everyone to justify how we'd all react as a GM if Crochet turned down moon's offer. Like, what are we even doing here?

    Soto's "curse" was just a bad defensive year. He still had a 146 wRC+. The curse was really being sent to San Diego in the second half where he OPS'd 778 instead of the 893 he started with in WSH. I think interrupting his season with a trade was a bigger impact than some curse. Vlad Jr may have had a 3.7 fWAR, but he followed it up with a 1.3 fWAR season at age 24. Which was really cursed? Can't really call Tatis' season cursed if he was simply suspended for doing something dumb. Pujol put up a 9.5 fWAR at age 23. Vlad Sr had 6.7. Jose Ramirez had 5.1 in his first big year. Machado had 5.7. If you want to make excuses for Julio Rodriguez potentially being overrated, go for it.
  14. mvp 78
    You love this post.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, they should start with a six man rotation and then see where it shakes out. Maybe someone pitches himself into the pen. Maybe the six man rotation just works really well.
  16. mvp 78
    I answered. You just don't like my answer. You hate the idea of an opt out after 2027, but you want everyone to talk about it for some reason.
  17. mvp 78
    You think he'd get much more than one of the largest contracts in MLB history? Really?
  18. mvp 78
    He's already agreed to the first ARB contract. There's only one more to go.
  19. mvp 78
    That's less than my offer. Cole got 9/324 AFTER having 31 career fWAR and three seasons above 5 fWAR. It'd be wild for him to walk away from a contract like that. Depending on how he's pitching, I'd be willing to get up there.
  20. mvp 78
    Yeah, the moon deal isn't realistic.
  21. mvp 78
    They already agreed to a 25 salary so that number is wrong. I wouldn't sign him for 18M in 26 as he'd get nowhere close to that. Ignoring what JH would allow me to spend, I'd walk away for now and see what he looks like in ST. 28M AAV could be more than what he'd get on the FA market after 26 anyway. If he looks better, increase the offer.
  22. mvp 78
    Problem being they 1st in fWAR for SP. This wasn't on your menu for the Sox success. I'd take it.
  23. mvp 78
    Fried has a 6 year track record of being a starting pitcher. Crochet has only started for one year. He hasn't earned a Fried contract and I don't think he'd expect that for an extension if I'm being honest. I'm not saying that I'd walk away, but that I believe he'd sign slightly less than what Fried signed for if you offered it to him today. He's made 7M over his whole career. Offering him 175M guaranteed is very hard to walk away from.
  24. mvp 78
    If you want to get the runs to be at the top of the leaderboard and the ERA to be towards the top, I'm game. Now look at the fielding number for those teams.
  25. mvp 78
    Teel is a LHB, Quero is a RHB. I think most clubs realize they need 2 catchers going forward. Why not have two young ones that will stick around for a while and you can platoon?
