I'd assume it's that high going into the end of camp.
-
Hard to expect that for various reasons with Mata. First, he's perpetually injured. Second, he's forced into an MLB role and can't figure it out in AAA unless he's snuck through waivers. If I were Crag, I'd try putting him through waivers at some point.

Vlad Dracul remembered he had a team and showed up. https://twitter.com/jcmccaffrey/status/1759600999654658531

Worse than missing out on Seth Lugo.

So that they could sign Yamamoto... errr Montgomery... errr Clevinger... nevermind...

At the trade deadline: 3.34 ERA 7 QS (>50%) 10.29 k/9 2.57 bb/9 Needed to trade that guy! After: 7.62 ERA 1 QS 7.27 k/9 4.5 bb/9

It's a dirty bit of business. Like some of us have said, they can take a step back in the win column and still be a better ballclub. Crag is doing some work that should have been done prior to the '23 deadline at the very least.
-
Funny since his xWOBA, bb rate, hard hit rate, k rate, xERA aren't dramatically different that what Schreiber had last season.
-
I think the Verdugo and Sale trades were more than playing on the margins. I think he's definitely stuck with this low budget for some ungodly reason. I wonder if the trades slow down for Crag once he gets "his guys" in the org?
-
May not be this season.
-
They need to fix the pipeline. A large way to do that is via trade since they ignored it in the draft for a very long time. Waiting for IFA's is a horrible idea. Only drafting pitchers after the 4th round is a horrible idea.
-
Paxton was out for over a year. Hendriks should be back this year. I think there's a considerable difference. Average is BORING. Schreiber was BORING. Being worried about losing years of control is a zero sum game at some point.
-
I think he's added some decent bullpen depth. There were recent years when they've had to bring up some real stinkers from AAA.
-
If Crag was CBO, I believe he would have dealt JD or Sale in '22 and the Sox would have gotten under the CBT. There's also no way Paxton would have been on the team after the trade deadline in '23. If Bloom was the CBO this offseason: Sale is still here Verdugo is still here Bloom signs low stakes starter like Lorenzen for 1 year Churns through the waiver wire for relievers like nobody's business Doesn't trade for Slaten, but drafts Anthony Prato from the Twins (UTIL) We're all waiting for Bloom to do something, but he's wishy washy about how amazing this season will be.
-
It was already obvious they've given up on this year and that next year is built on wishful thinking. Will this work out? Who knows! At least it's a guy with a good backstory rather than boring, average, low ceiling John Schreiber.
-
What is Schreiber like going forward? All below 50th percentile: Av Exit Velo Chase % Whiff % BB % Hard Hit % xERA 51st GB % 54th He's an average reliever?
-
No, but why are you worried about the Sox giving a bigger paycheck to Hendriks? If it's a swap of Schreiber for 1.5 years of Hendriks, I'm fine with it. I've seen enough relievers pop for one year to know when to cut bait on a guy like Schreiber.
-
Away splits 2023 736 2022 779 2021 796 2020 936 SSS! 2019 877 2018 800 The last time he had an away split this bad was 2017 when he hit 726. That was the year he was hit on the year and struggle hitting all year long. That's why I suggested that there could be something else going on and that maybe he can pull out of it next season. Or, he's just getting older.
-
We'll see how much Dombrowski Crag has in him. Oink oink.
-
Jansen is currently on the shelf. They'll trade him at some point most likely. Hendriks would take over at closer when he's ready. If they are really going to compete next year (yeah right) they'd at least have a potential closer in place.
-
Notin is worried about the extra money that Henry would have to spend for a guy that could actually have talent.
-
Hell yes.
-
Oh no! Not John Schreiber! How could they do that! He was so awesome for that one season when they should have traded him then!
-
Hard to have a bullpen arm when your control is all over the place. He had a 10 bb/9 last year. Not good! He's very inconsistent from game to game and batter to batter. Can't hold his delivery at all. He's Ryan Fernandez with double the bb rate. Ceiling of a middle reliever. I'd just DFA him and not worry about it.
