    His defense is ok, but he takes some unnecessary risks and doesn't have a great arm and below average speed for RF (see Booser's first appearance).
  2. mvp 78
    And his FIP is close to what it was in previous years. I'm not saying that Bailey hasn't figured something out, just that he's really a lower tier starter than we really want pitching the rest of the year. If he came in and got blown out, but his FIP was lower, I'd note that too.

    1st in ERA, 1st in FIP, 2nd in xFIP, 3rd in bb/9, 2nd in fWAR

    @SoxNotes Wilyer Abreu: - Leads qualified rookies in OBP (.412) and is 2nd in AVG (.322) - Is slugging 1.048 in his last 5 games (12-for-21, 6 XBH) - Has a go-ahead RBI in each of his last 6 games - Has a .500 OBP during his 12-game on-base streak - Owns a .903 OPS in 48 career games

    Some people are sadists.

    Hell yeah brother. I'm just saying we should all live in the moment, but not count our chickens before they've hatched. Cooper Criswell is just Cooper Criswell after all. I wouldn't expect many 5 IP, 0 ER performances. I'll take what I can get though.

    More than Bloom ever could with starters that's for sure. Brad Peacock isn't walking through that door. Zach Godley isn't walking through that door.
  8. mvp 78
    He has struggled with bb rate at times and had a 8.0 bb/9 in AAA this year. Something to watch out for.
  9. mvp 78
    Anytime a pitcher throws a ball, there's a chance of injury. These guys work out and throw in between starts.
  10. mvp 78
    Max effort is causing injuries, but they aren't at an all time high as some suggest. I definitely believe the velo/effort issue is a bigger concern than the pitch clock.

    Ewww...

    4.53 xFIP Enjoy his success while it lasts.

    I appreciate the scouting for the autograph hounds.
  14. mvp 78
    You really don't remember?
  15. mvp 78
    Nope. I'll admit to him hitting below 200 with an OBP above 400 at one point and struggling to get the ball out of the IF. It's so early in the season, any good stretch will skew the numbers one way or the other. His approach is still lacking hard contact. I love his batter's eye and patience, but I don't know how well that would translate. I think his defense is much better than what was originally advertised too. Like with Blaze and Kavadas who struggle mightily with velo, when a player gets to MLB the book will get around and that weakness will be exploited over and over and over.

    I had a post about it recently, but can't find the twitter thread where I got the info from.
  17. mvp 78
    Your eyes are deceiving you. The Sox are having a bad go of it, but across the league, other years have been worse for injuries.
  18. mvp 78
    He started most of the games through 4/16, but has only started 2 since. Very weird.
  19. mvp 78
    Cora stated that Masa is not hurt. What's the deal there?
  20. mvp 78
    Baseball Prospectus' injury database suggests that pitchers with lat tightness miss an average of 50 days.
  21. mvp 78
    No, pitching injuries have been higher in recent year without the pitching clock. There is no discernable connection.
  22. mvp 78
    No.
  23. mvp 78
    Well, that wasn't in this post apparently so I can't verify this. He was hitting below 200 with an OBP at 400 at one point, I think. His lack of power does play into how he'd translate at a higher level. He has a great knowledge of the strike zone, but weak contact will only get you so far. He has 9 hits in his last 5 games and only 1 was an XBH (2B), which was the only ball he put in play longer than 220' over that time.
  24. mvp 78
    I don't think many people really wanted Snell. ERod, yes. Gray has been great through his first 3 starts.

    @SoxProspects Chase Meidroth went 3-for-4 and scored a run in today's 5-3 Worcester Red Sox game one loss. The 22-year-old infielder is currently slashing .294/.479/.373. The hits weren't falling in early on this season for Meidroth, but that's turned around. 479 OBP! If only he hit the ball with a little more authority.
