    Not sure if it's the "payroll department" or just their own internal player valuation where they assign a dollar value to each player and don't go over it an inch.

    Duran - LF Rafaela - CF Anthony - RF Abreu - 4th OFer Refsnyder - 5th OFer The only near term filler from the minors would possibly be Lugo, but that guy has had a very volatile development track and his defense is really LF only at this point. Castro, Bleis and others are still in A ball and lower with uncertain timetables and projections.

    I wonder if Imanaga cools off after teams see him the second time. Wheeler is running a career low BABIP right now, but he's having an amazing post age 30 run.
  4. mvp 78
    He's cheap for the next few years. Enjoy him as long as he's playing well. Guys like him don't typically age well so just keep him around until FA. Unless you're getting an ace back, why would you move him at this point?

    It's May so there's lots of baseball left to play. That would be the biggest obstacle IMO.

    Having a 305 OPS in 53 PA's will do it.

    Last year, he has a pitching run value that was 52nd percentile. It's now 99th. He was fine last year, but not really Chris Freakin' Sale. We'd all be over the moon if we got vintage Sale one more time in Boston. We weren't gushing the past few years because he was injured or struggling to come back. Most people realize there are still underlying concerns with Sale, you're just annoyed that not every pro-Sale post isn't littered with concerns about his health. We don't need to worry about his health anymore because he doesn't pitch for the Red Sox. If he's great, we can enjoy it from afar. One bad contract doesn't sink a high budget team like what the Sox should be.

    @SoxNotes Ceddanne Rafaela leads the Red Sox with 25 RBI, most among MLB rookies. With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, he has driven in at least 1 run in 11 of 15 opportunities. .417 AVG 1.083 SLG 16 RBI 2 home runs 2 doubles 1 single 3 sac flies 3 RBI groundouts/FC

    I hope Chris Sale is healthy all season and wins the CY. He deserves it. He was great for the Sox and still checks in on his old teammates.
  10. mvp 78
    Imagine if he was still here pitching like this, every 5th day would be "well, why weren't you guys splooging on Chris Sale Day the last few years?!?!?!?!?"

    3 innings? Bard only pitched 2 IP+ 11 times from 09-11 and not once did he get to 2.2 IP.
  12. mvp 78
    Oh no.
  13. mvp 78
    It's Chris Freakin' Sale!
  14. mvp 78
    Bard started sucking at the end of 2011 right before conversion. 9/1 - 10/1/11: 10.64 ERA, 5.01 xFIP, 11 IP, 13 ER, 11 H, 9 BB, 11 K, 1.82 WHIP, 4 L Daniel Bard ruined 2011 for the Red Sox and put them on the downward spiral we are on today.
  15. mvp 78
    Hard to gush over someone that's injured.
  16. mvp 78
    A lot of very smart posters thought Crawford was underrated coming into this year and that he had a chance to breakout. Houck will probably just get injured at some point.
  17. mvp 78
    Imanaga was cheap enough to be a midrotation guy too. His contract didn't break the bank.
  18. mvp 78
    I wonder why people are gushing over Chris Sale, a guy who has 7 AS appearances and closed out a WS for the hometown team?
  19. mvp 78
    Midmarket.
  20. mvp 78
    And then you have Kavadas AND another Smith clogging up the 40 man? If Kavadas is added to the 40 man, he's the backup going forward no matter how bad he plays (a la Dalbec).
  21. mvp 78
    ^^^
  22. mvp 78
    Mata has given up 3 runs in 4 innings in the FCL and Salem. Callup Valdez and Kavadas both LHB platoon DHs?
  23. mvp 78
    Nobody laughed at signing Lugo. Most people just look at his history and don't know if he'll hold up over the long haul with a starter's workload. Plus, 1.79 ERA and 3.56 xFIP. Expect some regression. He's 34 and signed a 3 year deal with no track record of starting.
  24. mvp 78
    When did he function as the closer in 21?
  25. mvp 78
    There is no true north with this guy. He's the reason the Sox have been scattershot ever since 2004 (post WS selloff of players, build up of homegrown players, feeding the monster, dumping players, threading the needle for 2013, building up homegrown players again, buying and trading to get 2018 team, overextending after 2018, dumping of all veteran players, build up of homegrown players yet again).
