    A 6 man rotation would come out to 27 starts for Gio. He'd just have to average 5.18 innings per start. He's exceeded that his entire career except for the 6 starts in CLE. His lowest innings per start was 5.37, which should get him to 145 innings. As long as he doesn't miss any starts, he should be good to reach FA. Depending on how he pitches, he may not be a 14M AAV going forward so a 14M option could be in his best interest.

    Trying to look for a team that matches this description: 2022 HOU: 6th batting, 1st SP, 2nd in RP, 2nd Fielding NOPE 2021 ATL: 7th batting, 13th SP, 13th RP, 15th Fielding Counting on duplicating a team that was below .500 in August is certainly trying to do it on hard mode IMO.

    I mean, the summary really says a lot: Platoon and chase concerns hold hit tool back, and when combined with injury question marks, has a wider range of outcomes than you would expect and a decent number of questions to answer for such a highly regarded prospect.
  4. mvp 78
    Yeah, his off year splits were one HR against a bad pitcher in a small sample skewing the OPS to make it look like he was capable of hitting lefties. In 2023 and 2024, he regressed. If you don't believe me, read the SP scouting report: Needs to improve pitch recognition, especially against breaking balls. Some questions about how his contact skills will translate against more advanced pitching. Seems to struggle to pick the ball up against left-handed pitchers and has had considerable platoon splits throughout his career.
  5. mvp 78
    It's why I was confused as well. I'd rather they just offer him a set contract at a slight discount from the Fried deal.
  6. mvp 78
    Only why you do that is if it's an opt out on a cheap contract with an escalator for a club option for a set number of years. Crochet opts out of his 17.5M contract, but the Sox choose to pick up his 27.5M contract for set number of years. This would protect them in case of injury.
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, the extension was 2020-22 which were all non-ARB years. His last ARB year was 2019. A similar Crochet deal would get him signed through 2029. Control for 5 years? I'm in.
  8. mvp 78
    I think having the back end of the contract be so large would increase the CBT hit to higher than what the Sox would ever pay as he would opt out after year 3. Probably why teams don't do it that way?
  9. mvp 78
    Seems on the higher side. Maybe closer to 16M which is where Burnes ended up in his final year. The arb raises kind of escalate at a normal rate rather than jumping crazy year to year, which is why Crochett would only get 10-12 next season even if he won a CY.
  10. mvp 78
    2004: 1st in runs 2007: 4th in runs 2013: 1st in runs 2018: 1st in runs I'm sensing a theme...
  11. mvp 78
    Maybe underwhelming in terms of name recognition, but who cares about that?
  12. mvp 78
    He hasn't had an OPS above 700 vs LHP since getting to AA in 2023. Duran was able to get it to the 800's in WOO after struggling in POR.
  13. mvp 78
    Skubal signed for 10.15M, if we want to get an idea for what the most Crochett could get going into next season.
  14. mvp 78
    They would need to sign him for a X year deal and give him an opt out after 2027 in that case, which is 2 years later, not one as you suggested. I think you just weren't being clear.
  15. mvp 78
    How do you give him an extension where he can bolt after one year that isn't him leaving after 2026?!?!?
  16. mvp 78
    Harder to work on that kind of stuff in MLB when the stress level is higher and the stuff your facing is that much harder. He may have to depending on Story's health and the other players around him.
  17. mvp 78
    Ignore ARB for this season (which would pay him less than 5M) and give him a 7/175 with an opt out at 5 years. Even that is probably an overpay.
  18. mvp 78
    I just don't see the value in only adding one year on the backend as they'd be greatly increasing his contract size in year 2 when he'd still make fairly little in ARB.
  19. mvp 78
    You'd have Hamilton and Romy ahead of Refsnyder then?
  20. mvp 78
    Mayer's issues are that he struggles against LHP and breaking balls. Maybe he can work on this in AAA in 2025.
  21. mvp 78
    I would keep Refsnyder over Grissom 1,000,000%. Grissom notably struggles to elevate the ball.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/red-sox-have-shown-interest-in-phil-maton.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky Thus, Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports the Red Sox have “checked in on a long, long list” of names in pursuit of bullpen upgrades. That includes Tanner Scott, Jeff Hoffman, A.J. Minter, Carlos Estévez, Tommy Kahnle, and Andrew Kittredge. On Wednesday, Cotillo added Phil Maton to that cohort. Maton, 32 in March, is coming off an up-and-down season split between the Rays and Mets. The right-hander struggled in Tampa Bay after signing a one-year, $6.5MM contract (with a club option for 2025) last offseason. Over 40 games and 35 1/3 innings with the Rays, he pitched to a 4.58 ERA and 4.52 SIERA. By the end of his brief tenure in Tampa Bay, his strikeout rate was sitting at a career-low and his walk rate at a career-high. Despite the highest groundball rate of his career, he was struggling to prevent runs.
  23. mvp 78
    If Mayer only debuts in September, he'll still won't have enough MLB experience to take him out of the prospect rankings and will remain #1 prospect, especially in a timeshare.
  24. mvp 78
    Bringing Anthony up in May doesn't make sense as it's too late for PPI and too soon for Super Two protection.
  25. mvp 78
    I think Slaten could get the closer's job at some point, but don't think it will be on day one. I think Hendriks will get the first crack at it and will have it for April at least.
