"Aren't necessarily all that good." He's been about a 3 fWAR player every year except for the two injury season. In 2020, his numbers extrapolate to about 3 fWAR for a full season. That's worth over 20M per year.
-
Greinke's last 4 seasons total 6.4 fWAR. You're counting 5?
-
Shame on Jordan Montgomery for losing 2 seasons early on to TJS!!!!!!!!
-
Sox should just give Boras their best offer and not be worried about it if someone beats it. Not sure what that offer would be.

Pedroia Ortiz Ellsbury (MVP runner up in '11) Lester

3/42. Pass.
-
Billy Eppedler strikes again.
-
Andy Pettitte famously took steroids to be injured all the time from what I remember.
-
They didn't sign him to a long term deal. If he gets an injury, it's not a problem.

Barry Bonds - 2,986 games Sammy Sosa - 2,354 games

Grady Sizemore was roided out of his brains.
-
Nothing suspicious about working out, unless it's anything more than situps, pushups and throwing a medecine ball!
-
Yes, that's why I mentioned his DFA needs.
-
Must have been pretty egregious, but to do it for a team that was out of contention? Maybe it was messing with someone's contract incentives?
-
More likely the gain velo than gain more control.
-
There's a difference between "ceiling" and what is most likely to happen. His ceiling is back end starter. I think he has a better chance to start in the bigs than most of the other guys on the farm, but that isn't saying much.
-
My assumption was that Slaten graduates this year. I'm generally ignoring him as a prospect and treating him like an MLB regular since he can't be sent down. I'm not a believer in Mata due to his control issues and health plus DFA needs. ERC just doesn't throw hard enough and is a real work in progress. Gambrell will probably be an up and down starter. I don't think he sticks around in Boston. He may kick around the league. Walter is toast as his velo is gone. Coffey is a sidearm soft tosser who had more trouble as he reached AA. I think advanced batters won't have much of an issue teeing off on Coffey.

I'm lighting the Randy Red Sox beacon! https://twitter.com/EricCross04/status/1757118761264357465

Guys that could be that starter: Fitts, Monegro, Paez, Early Decent bullpen arms: Wikelman, Perales, Guerrero, Hoppe, Liu

What would BTV have thought about the original George Scott trade? Scott Lonborg Billy C Lahoud Pavletich for Tommy Harper Lew Krausee Marty Pattin Pat Skrable Why are current GM scared to do TalkSox assed nine player trades like this???
-
He was a "glorified platoon bat." That's ignoring everything else that was important to his game.
-
Papi was a one trick pony. He couldn't field. His only job was to hit. Was he a glorified platoon bat? Against some lefties, he stood no chance.

Rice LF Lynn CF Evans RF DH Smith 1B Cooper 1B/DH/LF Yaz I don't see anyway that they still hold onto Ogilvie. It took him a long time to pan out and they had horses coming. You can't really have an OF with Yaz, Rice, Evans, Lynn, Carbo, Smith AND Ogilvie...

Beniquez won one GG and had a 1.1 bWAR 162 game average over his career. I think this is the first offseason I've heard people lament over losing him for Fergie Jenkins. Jenkins in 2 seasons with BOS: 7 bWAR Beniquez in his entire 17 year career: 9.9 bWAR
-
Carl Crawford averaged an 8.8 BsR from 03-10. Only 4 qualified players had higher BsR's than that last season. No qualified batter over the past 8 seasons has averaged better than 6.1 BsR (Trea Turner).
