    In general, it's safe to assume that a moderator is aware of the other sites as well. Also, there were hints of sarcasm with the extraneous usage of exclamations and question marks as well as the ubiquitous sunglasses emoji for whenever I'm doing a goof.

    The Bogaerts extension should have been longer. It was just a bad deal IMO. I didn't like the Eovaldi extension as he's shown not to be healthy year in and year out.
  3. mvp 78
    You're not one for jokes are you?
  4. mvp 78
    I don't think he needed to repeat 2019, he just didn't need to go out and do the 2019 campaign he did. Also, he really put the Sox in a rough spot with the specific extensions that were signed.

    Abreu had more DRS than the rest of the qualified RFers MLB even if you exclude the negative value players. He's up against Addell and Soto for the gold glove. It SHOULD be an easy win for him.

    Twins Daily? Who reads that place?!?!? 😎

    "Let's play three!"

    How did he trick the Ilitches into spending? That's what I want to know.

    I think he did a great job through 2018 and ignore what didn't work. However, it really came off the rails that offseason for him IMO. Nate extension Wright PED suspension Shugart 2nd time drug suspension Sale extension Xander extension with opt out No other offseason trades or deals of note even though the transaction log is littered with injury notes. Cora rests his rotation in April. INTL signings: Perales, Garcia Bros, Castro (DD doesn't know who these guys are) Draft: Cannon, Lugo, Zeferjahn, Song, Murphy, Walter Acquired Andrew F'n Cashner It was the only year I can remember that he thought to himself "what if I didn't add anything and just ran back an exhausted team by handing out extensions?"

    1 Justin Gonzales - great short season, gave an extra bump just because it was his his debut and he really impressed, most likely going to have a monster season next year 2 Arias - great short season, fell flat in A ball, but can ignore that 3 Cespedes - dinged for the injury

    DD had a 90% hit rate? Sale extension was a miss. Eovaldi extension was a miss. Not extending Betts was a miss. Thornburg trade was a miss. Most would say the Price signing was a miss. You have 45 hits to counter these?
  12. mvp 78
    If you go by Statcast's Fielding Run Value, Wong was tied for worst in the league at -13 and Jansen was a more mediocre -3. In 2023, Wong showed a bit better due to his arm being healthy and Jansen was slightly better as well. This is probably the duo that shouldn't be what Breslow rolls out in April 1. It would be nice to have a defensive specialist like vintage era Sandy Leon.

    Romero was drafted in '22. I don't think there's a reasonable expectation for a HS player to be MLB ready 3 years later. He's not even Rule 5 eligible until after the 2026 season.
  14. mvp 78
    Romero has struggled with injuries, but made it to AA this year. Yorke was in AAA and made his MLB debut, they just decided to trade him away. It generally takes a few years for HS guys to make their debut. If they were drafting college SS's you'd see quicker debuts.
  15. mvp 78
    They want more games, not less.
  16. mvp 78
    Keep convincing yourself that. He still has an ERA in the 4's and a WHIP above 1.3. Kutter: 3.43 k/bb Bello: 2.39 k/bb
  17. mvp 78
    Crawford had 56 starts, but 64 Games as he was pushed and pulled to and from the bullpen last season which reduced the amount of innings he pitched.
  18. mvp 78
    Kutter is a better starter than Bello. I'd send Bello to the pen if the Sox found enough starters that needed to push one of them out of the rotation.
  19. mvp 78
    I agree that Crawford is a starter. I don't think moving him out of the rotation solves anyone's problems. If you have a guy that can throw 180+ innings, you slide him in as the 5th starter at the very least. I think he was a little unlucky with the longball this year and should rebound next season.
  20. mvp 78
    🤔
  21. mvp 78
    Oh no!
  22. mvp 78
    They got very lucky in previous years (2013 for example) and now we're just seeing the other side of the coin. Even the success in 2021 had a lot to do with luck: 2b was a mess, Kiké career year, last Dalbec hot stretch, career high in RBI for Renfroe, Nasty Nate's best season, Barnes, Sawamura and Taylor all fell apart after 2021.
  23. mvp 78
    Sure, if that's all you can get. I was just saying "best suited" like if you could draw it up in a lab or whatever.
  24. mvp 78
    I just don't see a bottleneck situation in MIF considering all the injury issues and Grissom's production issues. I think it'll work itself out. There is a little bottleneck in the OF, but that could be cleared up if they just made Duran the fulltime CF and made Rafaela a UTIL guy which could make sense if they don't believe his bat will ever get to 700 OPS. Also, not every prospect is able to be a productive MLBer. Also also, too much is made about fungible guys like Romy and Hamilton. You can move on from them really easily. They don't have a backup 1B. They don't have a backup 3B. Maybe they use some of these guys to fill that spot somehow. Cespedes is most likely not a MIF. He also hasn't even played in Salem yet. How he factors into any conversation right now is confusing for me. Per SoxProspects, Arias isn't expected to reach MLB until 2028. That's quite a long time to figure something out.
  25. mvp 78
    I don't know how much value Hamilton has. I'd deal him and not think about it for a second. I don't know what trade value Romero, Jhostynxon or Perales have. Those are probably the 3 highest valued in the top 20 outside the big 4 that the Sox would consider trading. I don't think they'd deal Montgomery. Others are too far away to have much value.
