    No Duran

    He's a good catcher. I think the expectations on him weren't fair.
  3. mvp 78
    Good for Wyatt Olds. Hope he can get a K or two. Has some intriguing stuff, but hasn't ever put it together.

    Rutschman 3/26 - 5/9: 986 OPS 5/10 - 7/18: 654 OPS 8/11 - 8/16: 332 OPS Many people were warning about his April numbers doing a lot of heavy lifting for his YTD stats. 705 OPS since the start of '24.

    Sox could have matched that Perralta deal. At least he didn't try to trade for May again.

    People have spoken a lot about the "premium" it took to keep him away from the Yankees. You trade for Adley because you want him. It should have nothing to do with the Yankees.

    Who cares about that TBH? Get a guy because you want him. Don't pay extra to keep him away from the Bronx.

    Marinara jokes usually bring the house down. The setup wasn't long enough I think.

    It's the norm. The vast majority of successful starting pitchers come via the draft.

    Is that why he pouted when Cora was fired and had to get benched?

    Red Sox overperforming post ASB? Durbin, Rafaela and Monasterio are top 10 in overperforming wOBA. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/post-all-star-break-woba-overperformers-and-underperformers/ Following their 15-game winning streak in July and a 9-game winning streak going into August, Boston was able to propel itself back into the playoff race... When looking at their wOBA comparatively to what was expected, this drop-off was coming... Five hitters have overperformed since the break, three of them in the league-wide top 10, and their output is worth monitoring if you rely on any of these Boston bats. Ceddanne Rafaela, +.087 (.326 BABIP) Caleb Durbin, +.085 (.349 BABIP) Andruw Monasterio, +.061 (.409 BABIP) Willson Contreras, +.032 (.349 BABIP) Masataka Yoshida, +.022 (.301 BABIP) For those rostering Wilyer Abreu or Jarren Duran, they have actually underperformed expected data.... Abreu in particular, almost inexcusably running a .188 BABIP and a .380 wOBA/.398 xwOBA. But I guess that’s what happens when you have 10 home runs in 27 games, and a HR/FB rate of 21.7%.

    At this point, Drohan would be in the starting conversation TBH. He has started for MIL. If they are including Houck, Kutter and Oviedo, they'll have to go 13-14 deep next season.
  14. mvp 78
    We know what Tanner Houck is already. He's had one great half of a season to his career. The rest of it has been a conversation of "is he a starter or reliever." Oviedo has a substantial injury history. Kutter has the same. How can a reasonable CBO count on either of them? I don't even know what to say about Crochet TBH. He's somewhere between CY and TJS.
  15. mvp 78
    The trade was Harrison AND Drohan. Drohan has been worth a lot more than you think. We already knew Houck was going to be out for most of the season and weren't planning on him. Kutter has been out for 2 full seasons now and it's time to just write him off. "If everyone was healthy, we wouldn't have a depth issue!" Is that a serious argument?
  16. mvp 78
    Even if there's an epic collapse, he's not getting fired.
  17. mvp 78
    It was also several years of drafting that led to Early, Dobbins, Eyanson, Tolle, etc.
  18. mvp 78
    That pipeline was built through the draft (nobody on the radar currently) and trades (who are they going to trade).

    Happy BDay to Sox legends: Dustin Pedroia, Rudy York, Deigo Segui, Ed Durham, Johnny Watwood, Alex Cole, Butch Hobson, Vince Molyneaux, Clem Hausmann and Bill Pertica.

    Backsliding into the playoffs because of the pitching staff doesn't seem like a recipe for success either. They spent a lot of capital to win this year! If it ends up just being a half measure overall, what's the point?
  21. mvp 78
    Early is probably going to pitch 0 MLB innings the rest of the season no matter what. They just needed another innings eater. The guys they have in AAA are either not ready due to experience or just not very good.
  22. mvp 78
    Same thing with Roman TBH.
  23. mvp 78
    If it's working, just let it roll for the rest of the year. It's not like they are going to have him pitch 8-9 innings or anything. It's just moving a reliever to earlier in the game.
  24. mvp 78
    The problem is that they may have to go through the Yankees who have been strong vs LH starters (766 OPS overall with Judge/Grisham/Goldie/Bellinger/Rice/McMahon all over 800). Rays have also been decent vs LH starters (754 OPS overall with Vilade, Diaz, Camiero and DeLuca over 800).

    Let him DH!
