Low risk, low reward IMO. 80-82 season.
-
Get your own freakin' catchphrase. As said by moonslav the day Chris Sale was traded for back in 2016.

You thought it was a simple can of peanuts, but it was a springy snake motherf***er!!!

@rotoworld_bb Report: Trevor Story looks "explosive" in workouts
-
So exactly was whining again? I went back and read the past few pages and didn't see any whining. Is it whining simply because it's something you don't want us to talk about?
-
I saw a headline that stated how impressed Winckowski was with the new offseason program and how all these big changes were implemented by Bailey. We'll have to see what impacts, if any, are seen this year. "We can't get you players, but how about a new coach!?!?"
-
Both had similar xFIP, innings, k/9, but Gibson was a much more consistent innings eater. With Sale and Paxton projected to be part of the rotation, they would need someone certain to pick up the slack for two guys coming off injuries and may be limited. Gibson is a 30 game a year guy. He's going to take the ball every 5th day. With Kluber, there was still the question mark of the recent injury history and age catching up to him. Gibson is the ground ball, pitch to contact guy who you know what you're going to get out of year to year. That rotation needed more consistency. We even said so last offseason. Kluber, Paxton and Sale in the rotation at the same time was a significant amount of uncertainty. Gibson isn't a sexy FA signing, but he's a Porcello type that can get you to the pen in good shape most days.

If the prospects were going to be wearing BOS jerseys on Opening Day, maybe it'd be a different story. Right now, it's a waiting game for a whole 'nother year.

I think Old Red just reads every moon post and assumes the tone is whiney. IDK. It's fine to talk about a bad Sox team and state the division foes kicked their asses in September of '23. Is that whining? I don't think so. It's just what happened. I'm not even Dinelson Lamenting it.
-
Bo Bichette will never learn how to run the bases. I don't know how much coaching they did in that farm system...
-
They were 1-7 against TBR prior to Sept. They were above .500 against TOR, NYY and BAL.
-
I guess we're at the WERE THE 2023 BOSTON RED SOX ACTUALLY GOOD stage of the offseason. The answer is obviously no.
-
If there was no interleague play (the worst), they would have been .500.
-
Gobbledygook. Game #2. Fluke play. They should have been 77-85.
-
They should think about contraction again. I think they should start by eliminating the Rays and the Yankees.
-
Not Dinelson Lamet?
-
Not sure anyone can reasonably call Verdugo a professional.
-
That's when they had to go back and play their own division and couldn't hang. Pace doesn't matter at that point when the same is overstuffed with below .500 teams you wont face again.
-
And Verdugo/Duvall/Turner falloff.
-
MLB Pipeline isn't reliable.
-
And then they sucked down the stretch because they had to play all the teams in their division again because that's how the schedule works. You can't say, well they were good at this point and if you extrapolate it like notin says.... They were a 78 win team. They were lucky to not be worse.
-
I think Teel is better than people think. I'm higher on Anthony than Mayer. I don't care about Jordan at all. I'd deal him for a middle reliever.
-
If they only played that way for the full season!
-
1. Sign Kyle Gibson instead of Kluber (same deal as Kluber's) 2. Play Kiké at 2B instead of SS 3. Sign Elvis Andrus to play SS like we all asked That's a much better Opening Day lineup. Cheap trade for Hill at the deadline just to add to the rotation. Prospect for Lorenzen and don't run him to the ground the way the Phills did?
-
I agree. You play the kids, but supplement the kids with a few high priced FA in places where you don't have kids to play: SP1 and SP2.
