    They spent a long time collecting tweeners and now that's all we have. Bello got hyped to be a TOTR guy, but he's really more mid rotation to me unless he can really turn something on that we haven't seen yet.

    moon doesn't want to pay 2M for defense at 2B though!

    The hitting sucked for most of the season and the relievers fell apart after being overused. After Story returned: Batter 3.1 fWAR (23rd) 91 wRC+ (22nd) Pitching 4.0 fWAR (20th) (15th Starter, 19th Reliever) Relievers with 8th in fWAR prior to Story coming back Their worst defensive positions when you account for all players were 1B, 2B, 3B and CF (all 28th in the league or worse). Because of Chang and Story, the Sox were 22nd at SS.

    Cora benched Verdugo when they still wanted to win. The first benching was against a RHP and Refsnyder was subbed in. YUCK. That was clearly sending a message and not about who was sitting on the bench because Refsnyder can't hit RHP for s***.

    Simmons through age 28 was on track to have a better HOF candidacy than Vizquel, but he fell apart right after.

    JBJ would start to hit and then stop just as quickly as he started. He would have one great month every season and go back to suckitude. After leaving BOS, he never was able to generate those hot streaks again to even out the poor performances.
  7. mvp 78
    That's a Verdugo question? He made an excuse about his family issues, but Cora stated that it's always been a problem with him. Players have said that he's a HOF talent, that he just doesn't take the game seriously.
  8. mvp 78
    Per Cora, it wasn't like he just showed up late once, he was always showing up late and they could never get him with the program.
  9. mvp 78
    Yes sir. Showed up late to games. Wasn't getting work in.
  10. mvp 78
    I wonder if it will look better next to Story in '24?
  11. mvp 78
    If they are going to switch to a defensive first team, they'd have to cull the 26 man roster.
  12. mvp 78
    I think Sox fans like JBJ's defense, but they didn't like when his bat would become an absolute black hole. When he would OPS 500 for two months, it was really rough to watch.
  13. mvp 78
    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.
  14. mvp 78
    It's only 2M for a guy who is going to be a backup defensive replacement.
  15. mvp 78
    That's one of the reasons they are second tier.
  16. mvp 78
    Yup!
  17. mvp 78
    Have to be eligible for Rule 5 and not included on the team’s AAA/AA reserve list.
  18. mvp 78
    @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.
  20. mvp 78
    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.
  21. mvp 78
    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.
  22. mvp 78
    He should have been sent straight to the wall after Game 6.
  23. mvp 78
    He looks good every winter for Escogido. 2.45 ERA in '21 1.88 ERA in '22 1.88 ERA in '23
  24. mvp 78
    I'd be worried about dehydration with that much puke. I hope they have a pallet of pedialyte on hand for him.
  25. mvp 78
    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.
