    He's always been a guy who hits well in short spurts and then disappears.

    Realistically, I have no clue what their plan is. Buehler, acquire a catcher and more relievers and I'm fine with it. I'm ok if they don't fix the handedness of the hitters.
  3. mvp 78
    He's just not great and the Sox could get better at that position without having to spend a lot of money. To me, I'd value a defensive first guy that could help the pitching staff rather than an offensive first guy like Wong.
  4. mvp 78
    Do you have a better defensive source than Baseball Reference? Maybe your EYE TEST, notin? Please remind me what his defense looked like early on in 1985. Were you in elementary school at that time?
  5. mvp 78
    I agree. Just dump Yoshida and eat his whole contract. It's just money.
  6. mvp 78
    Also, this is rich coming from a poster that thought Kelenic was better than Duran.

    Wow, one trade worked out in favor of the Sox. Therefore, Red Sox prospects are routinely overhyped. Swihart, Chavis and Dalbec were not overhyped as prospects. Of those three, the only one that had any trade value at any moment in time was Swihart. C'mon man! Michael Chavis was overhyped? By who? Dalbec? Laughable...

    I would have gone with Crochet Soiree or Crochet Field Day myself.

    The flea market pickups below Buehler aren't better than what we already have. I guess they find AAA depth? IDK.
  10. mvp 78
    Top pitchers left per projected fWAR: Burnes - 30 seems very unlikely per reports, but should be priority Flaherty - 29 could have signed him last offseason, but didn't Pivetta - 32 pass for what it would take to sign him Scherzer - 40 no Kershaw - 37 no Manaea - 33 are you kidding me Gibson - 37 no Lynn - 38 no Morton - 41 no Heaney - 34 yuck Verlander - 42 no Buehler - 30 coming off TJS and had 10 good innings in the playoffs, wow Chat, what do we think?
  11. mvp 78
    Make sure he's healthy in ST.
  12. mvp 78
    Boggs was a bad defender? Baseball Reference says otherwise.
  13. mvp 78
    A slow, poor defensive contact LHB with no power at Fenway. How could it go wrong?
  14. mvp 78
    Smash the trade button for Skenes, not JJ.
  15. mvp 78
    Doom scenario: he gets injured and misses most of his time over the next two seasons and leaves. 🤷‍♀️
  16. mvp 78
    Casas seems destined to be a DH anyway.
  17. mvp 78
    Casas, Mayer, Abreu and Sandlin for Jared Jones? Why would we trade all that for a short, two pitch guy, without great command who couldn't get through last season without an injury? You're betting on him turning into an ace for that haul. There's a very good chance he doesn't get there.
  18. mvp 78
    He'll probably get it again, but why this year or next? Chris Sale went a decade before getting TJS and everyone saw his mechanics.
  19. mvp 78
    With Catchers over 400 PA's from 2023-24, Wong ranks 36th in fWAR. If we only care about his bat, his wRC+ ranks 24th. His DRS ranks 61st!
  20. mvp 78
    He just had TJS. Why would he get it right after?
  21. mvp 78
    If you can get him on a MiLB rehab deal, why not?
  22. mvp 78
    I'd rather Christian Walker. Good offense and good defense at 1B. Should be much cheaper than those two as well.
  23. mvp 78
    You have to give something to get something, and I think that sums up this trade perfectly. I agree with this sentiment. I may not be a huge believer in Crochet, but I think the trade felt like the right amount in retrospect. It felt like a lot, but didn't feel like it was a complete dog of a trade. The initial trade mentioned a few weeks ago was Casas instead of Teel and that would have been too much IMO. As long as they find a way to fix the Catching position, I'm good with it. Montgomery is just a huge question mark. Big arm and big power, but it may not really translate. He has a nice ceiling, but we all know not every player gets there.
  24. mvp 78
    I think it will happen later in ST.
  25. mvp 78
    It's ok.
