I'm on the faculty. Game recognizes game.

Giolito Expected HR by Ballpark 2023: Actual HR 40 Fenway Expected HR 29 Past 3 years: Actual HR 91 Fenway Expected HR 59
-
Giolito at Fenway: 252 tOPS+ Giolito with McGuire catching: 188 tOPS+ Maybe stick him with Wong as his personal catcher! Out of all the catchers that received him at least 10 times, the worst was Grandal at 101 tOPS+. Seems like he does best with a consistent guy behind the plate.

The website still has a picture of Xander on the Who We Are page. Talk about not being able to read the room...
-
They "went for it" after dealing Vaz? They were actively shopping JD and Sale, but Bloom couldn't pull the trigger because of his fear of losing a trade. Bloom f'd up. That's all there is too it.
-
He received CY votes in 3 straight years. Wacha has never received a single CY vote. If the Sox can tap into something with Giolito, it's good news for '24. His ceiling is so much higher. He's also 3 years younger. -
In your 3 year sample that you berate people about: Giolito 3.97 xFIP (sky falling on his performance) includes 140 more innings Wacha 4.13 xFIP (why didn't we keep this guy?!?!?!)
-
This is going to be another one of "those" topics on here? All I know is that there are enough Rays fans calling him a scumbag that have been following the story so I don't know why Red Sox fans would want to provide him cover.
-
The price will always be too high going forward. The Sox will always believe the market value is more than what it should be. Henry is still stuck on Moneyball, a theory that produced zero WS titles in its homeland.
-
They went over on accident on a last place team! The signs were there last season when he got pissy about Cohen and stuck up for small market teams.
-
It only took a few short seasons, but Henry blackpilled us on the Sox.
-
Nope. I was just saying that they COULD get an ace for that package.
-
Nobody is taking on that contract and it's not enough of a salary dump for the Sox to bring in Monty or Snell anyway. Maybe he has a big year and they can dump him in the offseason?
-
Werner also does want to spend. Unfortunately, he has a minority stake. If Werner was in control instead of Henry, the payroll would be higher. 100%
-
Owners putting their feet in their mouths is why we have to deal with Sammy.
-
We specialize in those on here. Always have.
-
With a 4.47 xFIP.
-
I thought you were the guy that was all about a 3 year sample size being the true measuring test? 21-23 Giolito: 6.9 fWAR Wacha: 5.2 fWAR
-
It's easy if every player is just a cell in a spreadsheet!
-
Also, Casas was fine at 1B in the second half. Why start experimenting now? If you're going to move Raffy, just push him to LF fulltime IMO.
-
That would be a horrible downgrade for the Sox. Replace an everyday AS caliber 3B for either a pitcher that typically can't go 130 innings or a guy everyone thought was a 3rd starter prior to the playoffs last year.
-
Yes, Valdez has horrible splits. We already know this.
-
Devers has had some decent seasons at 3B. Sox moved on from their IF instructor this offseason. Maybe a new voice in the clubhouse can help? The best thing for the Sox is for Devers to stick at 3B and be passable.
-
How about no?
-
The tough part with trading Mata is the trading partner has to commit to keeping him on their roster or DFA'ing him. It's not a great trade value. He probably has more value to the Sox if they hold onto him. If someone else wants him, they'll just wait until the Sox try to sneak him through waivers at some point.
