    Yes, because his game really shined after the ASB this season when the spotlight was on him and he was potentially going to be tradebait. That's a guy who is certain to have a career year trying to reach for a contract.
  2. mvp 78
    It's only 2M for a guy who is going to be a backup defensive replacement.
  3. mvp 78
    That's one of the reasons they are second tier.
  4. mvp 78
    Yup!
  5. mvp 78
    Have to be eligible for Rule 5 and not included on the team’s AAA/AA reserve list.

    @ChrisCotillo The fine folks at @BaseballAmerica (namely @GeoffPontesBA and @jjcoop36) list Stephen Scott, Shane Drohan, Brendan Cellucci and Ryan Fernandez as Red Sox minor leaguers who are candidates to be taken in next week's Rule 5 draft. Fernandez and Cellucci are available in the MiLB portion of the draft I believe and don't have to be added to the acquiring team's 40 man roster. Scott and Drohan would have to be taken in the MLB portion.

    Something was wrong with Bieber last year. I'd be worried that there are underlying concerns.

    Maeda is 35 not 38? Also, giving him 1.1 per season while deducting him for being out for TJS is unfair IMO. His contract is the same AAV as Kyle Gibson's. Gibson's stats are similar to Maeda except for the innings.

    MLB writers are pretty bad. MLBpipeline is generally less reliable than other sources. They definitely fall into the clickbait ESPN East Coast bias type stuff.

    He should have been sent straight to the wall after Game 6.
  11. mvp 78
    He looks good every winter for Escogido. 2.45 ERA in '21 1.88 ERA in '22 1.88 ERA in '23

    I'd be worried about dehydration with that much puke. I hope they have a pallet of pedialyte on hand for him.

    With Whitlock's health issues, they should push him to 60 innings. If Crawford is the 6th man who gets starts here and there, he'll end up with over 70 innings, but not solely out of the pen. It's a different role IMO. It's not the classic Goose Gossage throwing 90+ innings from 75-84. Even guys like Quisenberry would go over 100 from 80-85, but the game has really changed since then. Relievers just don't pitch those kind of bulk innings anymore.
  14. mvp 78
    That amount is even crazier than what I imagined then. Are you having them solely pitch out of the pen or in a combined role? If just in the pen, there is a 0.00% chance anyone on the Sox staff gets to 100 innings alone. No way unless it's as a piggyback guy WHICH THEY SHOULD NOT DO.
  15. mvp 78
    In '22 and '23, those IP's include games started. If he's solely pitching out of the pen, he won't get to 70 innings IMO. Neither would Crawford. That's why I don't see them getting to 140 innings COMBINED.
  16. mvp 78
    He's an above average pitcher who has struggled to stay healthy. He was worth 12M last year according to FanGraphs. Pitching in DET could work out well for him, but he's older and he could have more increased IL time? Maybe he'll be fine now that he's post TJS? If 12M is 1.5 fWAR, he's been worth that every season except for the year he was out with TJS.
  17. mvp 78
    Only 20 relievers got 70 innings or more last season. Unless the Sox are going with openers again, I'm not sure how likely that is this year for them.
  18. mvp 78
    The Giants rotation was basically Logan Webb and a mishmash of veteran starters: Cobb, DeSclafani, Wood, Manea, Junis and Stripling. I think they ended up using openers out of necessity. If Harrison was ready sooner, he would have been in the rotation all year.
  19. mvp 78
    "COULD" stick as a starting pitcher. How is that any different than what they tried with Houck or Whitlock. We though either of them COULD have stuck as a starter too. And for 50M? No.
  20. mvp 78
    He's a reliever. Not sure it's a great fit when they've already tried that with Whitlock and Houck as tweeners.
  21. mvp 78
    The k rate is good, but the hard hit rate and the bb rate is bad. I think '22 was an indicator of good luck rather than '23 being an indicator of bad luck.
  22. mvp 78
    100%
  23. mvp 78
    I think it's the same argument. They should spend the vast majority of their offseason money at the top of the rotation. Giolito would be a backup to the backup plan.
  24. mvp 78
    At least one of Crawford or Whitlock (maybe both) will be headed to the bullpen. You even had a scenario where Crawford would start in AAA. At this point, they are both replaceable for a guy like Burnes.
  25. mvp 78
    Yeah, I'd rather have Burnes than those three.
