    I mean, Felix Hernandez isn't in the HOF (yet). He had a better peak than Johan and that peak lasted longer. Kevin Brown's '96-'00 was better than Johan's best 5 years. Kevin Brown may be the most underrated pitcher of all time TBH. 76.5 fWAR, 7 years above 6 fWAR, Another highly underrated pitcher: Rick Reuschel.

    Elbow inflammation for Valera. Will reevaluate in the coming days and determine if an MRI is needed. Per Hunter Noll who was watching: "He didn't look too pissed, and slapped a teammate on the butt as he left the mound... hopefully nothing too serious. Didn't notice anything on the pitch... Valera asked for a mound visit in the first inning, so maybe something was bothering him then, too."

    You sure it won't be the White Sox?

    Nobody thought he was a potential fix except on here. He was just filler for the WOO roster.

    We already had a stockpile of starting pitchers this offseason. We dealt them in deals that included Gray, Contreras and Durbin (though that trade was mainly for the draft money and pick). If we wait long enough to develop more guys, another few years will have passed.

    If they have, it's been a while.

    That's where I'm at. I know they see Watson every day and are able to project him going forward, but if he's not a late inning guy, I think they need to have more flexibility in the bullpen. Having a Rule 5 guy limits that flexibility. Weissert - 1 option Kelly - 1 option Anderson - 3 options

    Not allowed to trade an OFer according to many on here.

    Heading in the wrong direction. Whitlock > Slaten > Watson
  12. mvp 78
    So many pitchers pop up and have a great 4-5 year stretch. Not being able to keep it up for a full decade is what weeds out the non-HOFers.

    If a guy like Santana is getting in, then Brett Saberhagen has to get in.
  14. mvp 78
    Underrated such that he's about as good as Nolan Ryan, but people don't think that. Greinke just ended up retiring sooner. Better ERA+, WHIP, K/BB, bWAR/162.

    100% Enmanuel Valdez's fault.
  16. mvp 78
    I was clearly referencing Story being at 2b because that's the move I've wanted Cora to make for quite some time now.

    That's how it worked if you go through the transaction log for Bastardo and Paez. There were questions on if the Sox would strike a deal with the other teams so that the players could be returned in order to bypass the waiver claim process. It eventually didn't matter.
  18. mvp 78
    No, he gets put through waivers. Any other team can claim him prior to him going back to whatever his previous team was. He would keep the Rule 5 rights if claimed.

    HOF Jaws has ranked 30th all time. He's 25th all time in bWAR. He's 69th all time in WAR7Adj. Guys in the Nolan Ryan tier: Jenkins, Scherzer, Greinke, Schilling, Mussina, Roberts, Glavine, Kershaw, Marichal. Ryan was a good to great pitcher every year, but didn't have the peak that upper echelon HOFers had.
  20. mvp 78
    Helps when you are pitching to Benito Santiago and have Robbie Alomar and Gary Templeton right behind you.
  21. mvp 78
    Sox were 10th in fWAR at 2b in '22. 🤔
  22. mvp 78
    I was just listing several options available to them. Ryan Watson has been fairly disappointing. I don't know if there are different expectations for him, but I think the Sox can do better than just holding onto one roster spot for a clear mop up guy. Unless they seem him as a future 7th/8th inning guy, the years of control don't make sense. Who cares? His statcast page gets worse every time he pitches.

    This is all Beacon's fault. Boo Beacon! Bring back Carmine!
  24. mvp 78
    World Series MVP Bruce Hurst.

    In order to add, someone would have to come off: Casas - 60 day DFA/Deal an IFer (Seigler, Cheng, Sogard) DFA Watson Crawford - 60 day
