    BOS is 9th in Pull %. Teams above them include underperforming SEA, CHW, LAA, MIN, HOU.

    Top 100 guys: Tolle 8 Arias 16 Eyanson 48 Witherspoon 73 Gonzales 98

    Is it really a pen game if Bello is going to throw 80+ pitches anyway? It's just throwing guys out of order.
  5. mvp 78
    Bennett is fine, but I don't think he needs to be up in MLB this year. Sox need to see if they can get Bello rolling since they signed him to a horrible extension.
  6. mvp 78
    Defense leaguewide must really stink if that's what Story is graded at this year.

    As I've heard my son sing in the shower many times when he was in middle school "hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires." Larry Lucchino knew this. Unfortunately, the empire came home and now NESN is "the numb black screen that be feelin' like home."

    It's still important as not all pitches are sent to ABS. You still play a factor throughout the game with passed balls, controlling the running game, etc. Until Fangraphs revises their positional adjustments, CF/2B/3B are staying in third place.
  9. mvp 78
    And I also have an overarching problem with how defense is calculated into bWAR vs fWAR. I don't think there's a perfect solution for grading a player's worth. Was Ceddanne really the 14th best OFer last season? His wRC+ was 42 out of 48 qualified hitters.
  10. mvp 78
    If he was a projected GG SS, they would have kept him there as it's a much more important position. CF is about as important as 2B and 3B. SS and C are the two most important defensive positions on the field.
  11. mvp 78
    He did not have a GG at SS in MiLB. I don't know where you got that from. He had an "average" glove. When he moved to the OF, his defense popped. It was nothing special in the IF.
  12. mvp 78
    Bennett is pitching for WOO today FWIW.
  13. mvp 78
    Only found quotes from Tracy about the Bello and Suarez games. Didn't hear anything about Gray being delayed or them just adjusting the rotation.
  14. mvp 78
    GM's would trade MORE for Ceddanne if there was no contract attached to him. I can guarantee that his BTV went down after signing his extension. It most likely does for every guy! Therefore, it reduces his trade value!
  15. mvp 78
    Even if he "earns the contract" it doesn't really matter. He's not a guy that is breaking the bank. He's not a guy that you need to lock up post arbitration 6 years in advance. His FA years aren't going to be that expensive. Better business practices would be to go year to year with him IMO. There's no real cost savings with what they did with him.
  16. mvp 78
    There's no reason to be stuck with guy for 8 years just because they were highly ranked at one point. Once you sign those extensions, they are also harder to trade because other teams don't want to be necessarily be locked into those extensions either. For Roman? Yes. For Ceddanne? No! Not enough upside as you've said. Sox have enough $$ that worrying about retaining him after his arb years shouldn't be a concern.

    I didn't, but did you see my response above?
  19. mvp 78
    His OPS 7/18 - 9/30/26 was 587. Nothing is a given in this league with his approach. He seems to have refined it a bit so far, but we'll see.
  20. mvp 78
    Which corner? All four spots are limited in scope and have their own problems connecting with the base of RSN. The problem with TS is that we are way too hyper focused on the Sox day to day. Majority of fans are much more casual. I'd say a lot of Sox fans wouldn't know who Andruw Monasterio is.
  21. mvp 78
    It's going to be an Opener followed by Bello. Gray tomorrow and Suarez on Thursday.
  22. mvp 78
    Rafaela's OPS was below 650 two weeks ago. We'll see if he can keep up is current pace. I'm not "bending over backwards" I'm just making an argument. Same thing everyone else on here does every single day. 🫠
  23. mvp 78
    The only sham is all these people calling for boycotts and saying they aren't going to watch anymore or that they don't care, but they keep showing up everyday and posting about the team. SHAM!
  24. mvp 78
    Why would you extend someone at FA money? That doesn't make sense. You extend someone with cost savings. If you are extending someone with FA dollars you are a dope. If you extend Bello for low end money and all you get is a low end starter that you are stuck with, it's a loss! You're better off not being locked in with that guy!
  25. mvp 78
    They aren't neutral. They are paid by the hype. They need the clicks.
