    I'm hopeful that he'll be back, but I don't think we'll ever see him mash like '23 ever again.
  2. mvp 78
    What's the point? They'd never admit to anything.
  3. mvp 78
    This isn't true though. '23 Mariners pick #22, Philly pick #27, Mariners pick #29 (promotion incentive pick) '24 Mariners pick #15, AZ pick #29 1 out 3 ain't bad I guess. 🫠
  4. mvp 78
    He has a career 2 bWAR since '22. He will not be the key to the season.
  5. mvp 78
    It means he's only be good in one year. In that year, he had a lower called 3rd strike %.
  6. mvp 78
    Vinny Capra? Matt Thaiss? I know some posters on here can't stop talking about the second coming of Brendan Rodgers!
  7. mvp 78
    I thought it was Durbin hat ripped the gapper from what I saw from Jen McCaffrey's feed TBH. Maybe they both got hits off him?
  8. mvp 78
    But what if they added Schwarber, Alonso, Durbin, Suarez and Gray? 🧐
  9. mvp 78
    The last time the Sox tried to go with a run prevention team (2010) it failed because Papelbon had a career high 8 BS, Ellsbury missed the whole season due to injury and Pedroia missed half the season due to injury, The following season, Dustin and Jacoby combined for 16 bWAR and Papelbon was back to normal.

    The only person moving around is Durbin. If he's ok with it?
  12. mvp 78
    His success rate was worse in the partial seasons IMO ('24 much worse xSLG, xWOBA, k%).
  13. mvp 78
    Mayer is still taking most of his reps at 2b with Durbin at 3b.
  14. mvp 78
    I'd keep him down until ASB unless he's absolutely demolishing the ball. He's missed so much ball that he just needs to play and get back to 100%.
  15. mvp 78
    Difference being that Devers had more than one good season.
  16. mvp 78
    Per Cotillo: Sox executive stated "it's far from a lock (that) Yoshida would be on the Opening Day roster." Noting "tangible" interest in Masa this offseason.
  17. mvp 78
    They traded for Durbin and grabbed Gasper off waivers. Gasper is probably just going to sit in WOO or get DFA'd. IDK why him getting picked up bothers you in the slightest. It doesn't prevent other moves. They need guys that can catch in ST. He'll be fine hanging out in WOO and is a good clubhouse guy. Gasper was never a solution to any BOS problem. Not sure why you have brought him up multiple times.

    "Always Blame the Players."
  19. mvp 78
    And after like 5 trades, there's a lot less "powder" than ownership thinks.
  20. mvp 78
    If people were giving up on Mayer, they wouldn't be projecting him to start and would be throwing him in every imaginable trade.
  21. mvp 78
    It's not even OBP. He wants to be seen as king of the k zone. That's why he yells ball after every pitch. He wants to look like the smartest boy in the batter's box. I know he's a unique guy, I just wish he was a little more aggressive. I wish players watched less called 3rd strikes and knew how to foul off a pitch like they used to.
  22. mvp 78
    The only IF signing was IKF. He's fine as a backup. I don't see how anyone could possibly care about him when Story and Mayer will be starting and have a history of missing significant time. Alonso and Schwarber are both DH's TBH. The Sox could have put them at 1b, but it would have been dumb. Sox would have still needed to figure out 1B until Casas was ready and we really don't know if that will be the case. At this point, we know the ultimate ceiling of this club may always be dictated by however much JH wants to spend. He should spend more. Most of us agree with that. It's just not the reality we live in.
  23. mvp 78
    Harper is overrated and is a LHB. I'd rather keep the short term contract in Contreras. Don't see DD taking the last two deals.
  24. mvp 78
    His best OPS season was '23 when he only had a 27% called 3rd strike %. I believe the higher % shows more passivity at the plate. I want him to be more aggressive and show off his power rather than look for a walk. If his overall career looking strike % is 26.8% with any count, why is it 32.9% with 2 strikes? Shouldn't it be lower if he knows the zone so well? It's because he's actively looking for a walk rather than fouling off or driving a pitch.
  25. mvp 78
    So if they made a lot more moves and spent more money, would they be a better team?
