    Never.

    Gio 19M AAV Wacha 16 AAV Lugo 15 AAV I don't think two pitchers were in their budget. Henry said Breslow could only get one scoop, not two.

    If Houck was going to replicate this over and over for the next few years, you can make the case he's in the conversation for sure. We've only seen this once out of him, so will the previous injury or performance issues come back? 180 IP and a 3.00 ERA is basically a TOTR guy now, right? It's not a CY season, but halfway through the season he looked like: 16 G, 2.18 ERA, 2.22 FIP, 103 IP That's Skubal numbers.

    If 22 year old Greg Maddux showed up today pitching with the same velo he had in 1988, he'd carve up lineups even more than he did back then.

    Red Sox had a good offense and had lots of leads. They can't pitch their best 4 relief pitchers in every game. At some point, the other relievers are going to have just pitch in the 6th inning with a one run lead. Poof, blow save. That's life.

    I'm not sure they sign a FA SP. I think it's more likely they trade for a younger one that we haven't discussed on here. Fried is a huge injury risk. Flaherty has had a crazy up and down career and Sox could have had him multiple times over the past few years if they wanted. Severino seems like a midrotation guy at best and the Sox are full of those already.

    I'm not sure the Royals aren't that much better than the Red Sox they went 12-1 against the second worst team of all time, which is the only reason they are in the playoffs. MINN also went 12-1 against CHW. If the Red Sox had 7 more games against the White Sox, they probably come away with more wins too.

    Is the uneasiness due to pitchers getting injured now or true budget limitations from ownership? We'll never get a real answer.
  9. mvp 78
    Maybe Breslow picks up a meth habit this offseason?
  10. mvp 78
    Last 14 G: 2.90 ERA, 3.49 FIP, 90 IP, 9 QS Sox could have used that after July 1!

    Blown saves aren't always on the closer. The Sox had 31 BS, but only 4 were from Kenley. Martin, Slaten and Weissert also had 4. If we go by BS/G, the leaders were Sims, Campbell and Horn.

    It's not the reason you're trading him, it's the reason he's not untouchable.
  13. mvp 78
    There are clear internal replacements for Abreu and Masa. If you move Casas, I guess the corresponding maneuver is Devers to 1B. However, we don't know if he's capable of playing there. Also, there isn't an internal 3B ready to take over. You'd have to have Meidroth on the roster or put someone else there who hasn't played the position before.

    His 4 seamer and split finger are still plus pitches per statcast. He tried using a sinker this year that he hadn't thrown since 2017 and it went very poorly. His slider is a below average pitch a well. Hard to really say if it's a decline or just one bad year.
  15. mvp 78
    Yup! It was a kick in the groin that we saw coming for a long time.
  16. mvp 78
    People projected Verdugo getting traded and HE GONE! 🤷‍♀️
  17. mvp 78
    I think it just means taken off the active MiLB rosters. I checked a few other teams and they all had similar transactions for their 40 man players.
  18. mvp 78
    IDK. It seems like enough? We talk trades all the time, but none of us are experts. Something like that I guess.
  19. mvp 78
    That's why you make a generous offer that is above what he may be currently worth coming off injury.
  20. mvp 78
    I think they'll continue to discuss an extension this offseason with Casas. We'll see if they get very far. Nothing else to say about Devers? Must not be a very interesting player! Rafaela will not learn to take an extra pitch or two anytime soon. He is what he is. He'll peak at 750 OPS IMO. We saw the good and the bad with him this year. He'll be better if just left in CF. Alcantara is a good flier for potential ace. Crochet is probably too expensive still IMO. I'd be willing to move Mayer in a Crochet deal. Would Chicago rather Duran (you mentioned his potential trade availability)?
  21. mvp 78
    I don't know if the grievance process will help him. May not help Rowdy Tellez and any potential issue there either against the Pirates.
  22. mvp 78
    Well I guess he turns down the 22.5 then! Not enough money!!!
  23. mvp 78
    With Gio, we all played therapist and assumed his issues were personal related due to his divorce and not health related. Maybe it was both?
  24. mvp 78
    26 man players get a pay bump.
