    Yeah, he traded Sale!

    Ben wasn't able to convince Henry to spend. DD was.
  4. mvp 78
    DD was a good drafter though. He got us Casas. @ChrisCotillo Former Red Sox first-round pick Jay Groome given a one-year suspension for betting on baseball (no games he played in) while a minor leaguer with the Sox in 2020 and 2021.

    We're already seeing regression from the staff! Crawford last 5 starts: 5.79 ERA, 4.42 FIP Criswell last 5 starts: 5.87 ERA, 3.57 FIP Pivetta last 5 starts: 5.55 ERA, 5.23 FIP Bello last 5 starts: 5.67 ERA, 4.80 FIP

    Cooper: 860 OPS from 5/8-5/19 145 OPS from 5/21-present Thanks to BRef

    I was going to run some splits and gamelogs for Cooper, but FanGraphs no longer wants to run on my computer. Anyone else have this issue? Is it the ads?

    Who cares about Jeff Bagwell? We can get Larry Andersen now!
  9. mvp 78
    If they were good enough, it should be goal. If they are at .500 in late July, there's no reason to delude themselves as it will only hurt in future years.

    He watched every Price start and said "Yuck."
  11. mvp 78
    He was tightfisted BEFORE he signed Price! Are you forgetting that he lowballed Lester? Are you forgetting all the players they dumped from the 2004 lineup? How about the cameo at the end of Moneyball where he was courting Billy Beane because he wanted to solely save money?

    If I had to correct your posts, I'd have 23,839 more posts. I'll leave that to the professionals.

    At least you can admit your bias.
  14. mvp 78
    I'd like to give him the credit for misremembering, but nah...
  15. mvp 78
    What the hell are you talking about? Lester was traded in 2014 before DD even showed up.
  16. mvp 78
    Getting swept in the playoffs shouldn't be a goal of this team. The 2024 Boston Red Sox cannot beat teams above .500. Why buy your way into the playoffs under a delusion?
  17. mvp 78
    Why do that for a team that isn't very good right now. Put them over the hump to become an 86 win team? Whoopdeedoo... Aside from Anthony, Mayer and Teel, they don't have guys that would bring much back. Perales and Fitts have some value, but it's much lesser. Trade Guerrero, Jordan, Hickey, Yorke, Bastardo, Castro, Kavadas, Lugo, Paulino, Zeferjahn or other potential Rule 5 guys but you won't get much back. Hell, throw Wikelman in there and you aren't really moving the needle.
  18. mvp 78
    If they are 2 games over .500, they shouldn't buy. I think that's about the high watermark for them. They will either be treading water or selling. My guess is that Jansen and Martin are gone pending health. O'Neilll will play out the string as he will be on the IL or have no buyers. Unsure what they will do about Pivetta. Off chance they keep him for QO? IDK.
  19. mvp 78
    Uh huh. DD wasn't the guy who let Lester go.
  20. mvp 78
    He was fine from 16-18.
  21. mvp 78
    Latest SoxProspect podcast downplayed promotions to AAA for Teel/Mayer/Anthony. Teel: don't want to get rid of the MLB depth guys just yet though Teel is ready Mayer: hasn't shown he can hit LHP, also a lot of MLB depth guys in the IF in AAA Anthony: probably won't be ready for MLB early on in 2025 so no reason to rush him to AAA
  22. mvp 78
    Wehunt was also promoted to GRE
  23. mvp 78
    Ok? I don't think about Mookie except when I log in here or look at baseball cards.
  24. mvp 78
    I think they sometimes jump on a hype train too quickly. Drohan in '23 (6 was too high IMO, 28 prior July) Seabold in '22 Jimenez in '20 Flores in '19
  25. mvp 78
    19 - 663 OPS COVID 21 - 702 OPS 22 - 830 OPS (GRE) 23 - 678 OPS 24 - 1069 OPS It's not too surprising he yo-yo'd. He was a high pick when the farm sucked, so he started off high. They gave him the benefit of the doubt for a few years as he was signed young, but through 2021, he hadn't done much. He bounced back with a decent year in 22. He started 22 at 29th, but was pushed up to 15th midseason and stayed there for awhile. He dropped back down once he showed that he couldn't hit in 23 and was completely moved off of SS, which really hurt his profile. I think he bounces back again, but not to the teens quite yet because the system is much better now and the defense is no longer there. He would really have to rake to be higher than 20 and show it in AAA. I think him getting anywhere higher than 25 is a huge win.
