Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
mvp 78 replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Cease is a good pitcher, but that 2.20 ERA was like Kim Jong Il hitting 11 hole in one's... very lucky. -

And the 2 seasons prior to that he was injured. -

4. His xFIP in '20 was 3.65. -
Good morning!

"I don't care about BTV."

Is it official?
-
Not sure Cora would be moving Story off of SS for Kim. They would make a great defensive duo though. Put Rafaela in CF as much as possible...
-
DESPERATE DAVE strikes again!!!
-
@jryanxc96 Jim Bowden of the Athletic states that although Kim might not be available, the Padres may look to sell high on him. Also says the Sox look like a good suitor and used a package of Houck/Yorke as a possibility. I think I'd be much more confident if Kim was at 2B going forward.
-
If the best pitchers kinda suck, owners will need to pay top dollar on kinda sucky pitchers. That's just the economics of the game.
-
7 of the top 20 pitchers over the past 3 years averaged 10 or less wins per year. Pitchers must really suck these days.
-
Can Monty throw to 1B?
-
He does have ace upside. Sorry, Yamamoto AND Snell are the two potential staff aces. However, I really don't like the idea of signing Snell.
-
According to FanGraphs (the good website that looks like it's from 2008 rather than 1998), he's earned $264M to date.
-
Depends on which one. Not Mayer, Anthony or Teel. I'd package some of the other guys depending on what the contract is.
-
There are concerns with every pitcher simply due to the injury risk. With Yamamoto, there is a projection for a TOTR classic ace type starter. The other pitchers are 1b's or 2's. For the Sox to turn the franchise around, they need to find the next Tiant/Roger/Pedro/Sale.
-
Sonny Gray is a good pitcher, but I think may opt to have Montgomery instead. I guess it depends on the contracts. Yamamoto is really the only guy I'd be all in on. Everyone else has a certain amount of concerns.
-
He's a very good pitcher. The question is if the money can be used more wisely if you aren't spending it on a true top of the rotation guy like Yamamoto.
-
And I'm not sure I'd pay it. I expressed that before the Rangers were even in the WS.
-
Montgomery is 24th in wins since the beginning of 2020. There are a lot of pitchers with more wins than him with much higher ERA's. Gibson has 10 more wins, but his ERA is 4.58 over that time period. I don't think anyone would say he's better than Montgomery and his contract this offseason will be much smaller than Montgomery's.
-
His ERA the past 4 seasons have been real good.
-
He missed 18-19 due to TJS. He's been healthy and productive ever since. 3.61 ERA 8.44 K/9 13th most fWAR 9th most starts 19th most IP Is he an ace? No, but he's at least a very good and reliable 2/3.
-
I'm not sure he'll be the bust that Kung Fu Panda was in Boston, but I think he will be overpaid. If he can stay healthy and just be a workhorse, it may not be a big issue. Just hope he doesn't need TJS #2 .
-
Not at the moment.
-
When the Yanks traded him, they thought they were getting the really good version of Harrison Bader back and Monty's k rate was considerably down in '22. They were making a playoff run and were going to go with Cole/Taillon/Cortes/Severino/German. Now, Taillon is gone, Cortes stinks, German has a drinking problem and Severino is a FA/always injured. They chose poorly.
