    SOME pitchers may look worse under a certain metric or stat, but we were talking specifically about your obsession with Michael Wacha, not the near HOF talent Mark Buehrle. There is an exception to almost everything. For example, Steamer typically does an ok job at projecting stats for the following year, but what does it project Wacha to throw 156 Innings when that bum hasn't thrown over 135 innings since 2017?!?!? He's going to pull 4 additional starts out of his ass when he hasn't done so the previous 6 seasons?!?!?! Wild!

    It was the best of posts, it was the worst of posts.

    He's a mid rotation guy. Sale was the leader. It's not really a like kind exchange. I think they still need someone to lead the staff.

    Doesn't matter if he Verdugo has a big year. His stats in Yankee Stadium 3 have nothing to do with what he'd do here. It means nothing. I'm sure some people will try to make it into something, but it's meaningless. He's a guy who was content to play for 3 last place Sox teams and show up late. He's a loser. We don't know how well Giolito will pitch, but there's near certainty that he can take the ball every 5th day. Bailey did a great job in SF, so we need to have a little faith that Giolito can improve on his '23 stats or at least replicate his first half stats.

    It's like pornography. You know it when you see it.

    Freili Encarnacion isn't bringing back a FRONTLINE starter.
  7. mvp 78
    You must be the youngest person on here then. The rest of us will have to run you down with our walkers...

    Wait til next year used to be what fans said. For billionaires to say it, it's down right rotten.
  9. mvp 78
    No, they are throwing prospects at the fans this year.
  10. mvp 78
    You'll be disappointed to learn that it's not there anymore.
  11. mvp 78
    I need them to "be in" on Stroman for about a week just for the reaction from certain posters on here. They probably still need to grab Teoscar and a starter better than Giolito.
  12. mvp 78
    At what cost though?
  13. mvp 78
    I agree depending on the money. He is solid when healthy. Wonder what his medicals look like?
  14. mvp 78
    Yes. Trading Verdugo was a gift to Cora. Lack of hustle and showing up late isn't great for overall morale. Verdugo was very quick to show his stripes when he through Cora under the bus after being traded. Trading Sale and signing Giolito should help provide the rotation more guaranteed innings. How can you build a rotation around Sale if you expect him to miss 10 starts?
  15. mvp 78
    My worry is that they didn't do enough of a purge after Bloom left.
  16. mvp 78
    "Consistently get outs without k's." Both '22 and '23 were below average BABIP years for Wacha. What was the consistency there? Seems more like luck to me! xFIP > (ERA- + WHIP)
  17. mvp 78
    They need to acquire their rotation guys through other means for now. Maybe Connelly Early can develop over the next few years? Maybe Monegro can add some velo? Right now, the farm is barren of real starting prospects.
  18. mvp 78
    He's Blake Snell if Blake Snell took the ball every 5 days.
  19. mvp 78
    They have quality pitching, but the vast majority of it will be in the bullpen. Even guys like Perales and Wikelman may wind up in the bullpen when they get to BOS or transition there eventually. Aside from Bello, the only other starting prospects that are close are Fitts (who we haven't seen) and Gambrel (who is a 5th starter at best).
  20. mvp 78
    Them having Valdez on the bench in BOS is wild and wrong.
  21. mvp 78
    Wrong!
  22. mvp 78
    It worked with Adrian Beltre.
  23. mvp 78
    In MiLB, he played every position but CF (he even played C!). He's terrible everywhere. All he can do is hit lefties. He's a short platoon DH.
  24. mvp 78
    Abreu OPS'd 929 in AAA. What else does he have to master there?
  25. mvp 78
    Again, Valdez seems unlikely since he only plays 2B (poorly) and has extreme splits, but shares the same handedness with the guy you'd most like to DH (Masa). Assuming Rafaela is the starting CFer, Abreu would be the 4th OFer. McGuire - C Refsnyder - 1B/LF Reyes - 2B/SS/3B Abreu - OF Starting: C - Wong 1B - Casas 2B - Grissom SS - Story 3B - Raffy RF - O'Neillll CF - Rafaela LF - Duran
