    Was someone expecting Houck to be a contributor after having late season TJS last year?

    Paps lead the pitching staff with 1 fWAR from 9/1 on. Albers 10 IP 7.20 ERA Weiland 14.2 IP 7.36 ERA (GS 3) Lackey 23.2 IP 9.13 ERA (GS 5) Bard 11 IP 10.64 ERA Miller 10 IP 11.70 ERA (GS 2)

    In a short series, I like our chances if the starters are Gray, Tolle and Bennett. Suarez is really going through it right now. Sandoval will not be in the rotation. No bullpen games or Paez.

    If there is a lockout on Dec 1, there is no Rule 5 Draft.

    To me, it's less about future years and more about using those assets towards other trades that could have been more productive for the Sox.

    This would be a shocking development.
  7. mvp 78
    Are they the ones pitching?
  8. mvp 78
    IDK. I think he'd be a really bad 2b. Not sure the MIF situation would be great defensively if he was there. He's more of a future DH IMO. I'd project for 27 that Roman would play more OF and Mead more DH.

    IMO, bref really overstates defense in their calculation of WAR. Connor Wong 2023: 2.2 bWAR, 0.3 fWAR

    Injuries have steamrolled on him since the start of last season. His mediocre play has been since the start of 24.

    Turning into? Has been! Has-been?

    Adley?

    Considering the offensive numbers in A-, A and AA, Baseball America has posited that those leagues are using juiced baseballs. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. The pitching numbers at the low levels have been disgusting this year.

    Gray and Suarez didn't replace Harrison, Drohan or Dobbins. They came in to be #2 and #3 starters, so replacing Giolito and Bello. Other rotation arms that left at the end of the season: Richard Fitts, Dustin May, Walker Buehler and Cooper Criswell.

    It's always a rollercoaster for guys coming off TJS. The first year is typically the worst. IMO, his last good season was '22. Unfortunately, his current pitching isn't that far off from how he performed in '24. He's not a guy I'd look into bring back next season unless he's even cheaper than he is now.

    You can repackage an argument into a turd if you want. I don't care. They traded away their depth. Their depth last season was atrocious and the reason they got knocked from the playoffs. They fixed their rotation for 2026, BUT traded away much of their depth options. Both parts can be true.
  18. mvp 78
    Ziehl doesn't exactly have a lot of MiLB experience and currently has a 801 OPS at WOO. Not sure it would have been much better. This is just what happens when you trade all of your pitching depth over 12 months.
  19. mvp 78
    Not enough for the price they gave up, especially for a guy that is always injured.
  20. mvp 78
    They had some good 2b performances from '19-'25 (Kiké, Story, Romy, Holt) mixed in with some really rancid ones (Hamilton, Marco Hernadez, Peraza, Marwin Gonzalez, Vaughn Grissom, Eduardo Nunez).
  21. mvp 78
    He had a lot of time in AA and barely any time in AAA. His stuff is command heavy with hard contact. The chance that he becomes a dominant starter is very slim. At best, he's a back of the rotation guy, but he was definitely not ready. The most likely outcome is that he's never a viable big league starter TBH. He can dominate lesser MiLB guys, but he won't fool MLB guys as his stuff isn't good enough.
  22. mvp 78
    A mid rotation starter would have cost less than the Adley trade. Adley has been injured an unproductive for a few years now. They overpaid for a name brand, in division player. He's going to really have to turn it around for it to be worth while.

    Now that pitchers only go 5 innings, a reliever could die. It’s just a matter of time.
