    Bello Kutter Pivetta Houck Whitlock Even Whitlock's career SP FIP and xFIP are better than Turnbull's and I don't want him anywhere near the rotation. Turnbull's one good season was a 9 game sample in '21 when he got injured. Hard to really bank on that.
  2. mvp 78
    Flaherty is a lateral (maybe) move for Pivetta or Houck. If they sign him, he's a 5th starter. They need a #1 and a #3 at least.
  3. mvp 78
    Turnbull is not.
  4. mvp 78
    And if you do only two years, Gray looks much better... Gray has a ceiling that is a notch above Stroman. Gray can give you ace-type performances and is a high K guy. That's why he's going to get paid more.

    Regardless of how people feel about Bauer, the media is going to explode the day he signs, when he reports to camp, when he first pitches and when he first pitches during the regular season. It's just not worth it in a big market like Boston. He should sign a short term deal with the Rockies or some chump franchise and play good boy scout (he can't) for a little while.

    And Clevinger seems to be a garbage human being too from what we've heard. Can they just sign someone normal who is a great pitcher?
  7. mvp 78
    Collecting guys coming off TJS like Mahle would be fun!!!
  8. mvp 78
    Showcase him at Winter Fest and see how it goes! Have him only take questions from women, because he has a wonderful history online of being a weirdo when speaking to women (even if we simply ignore the assault stuff). People talk about Stroman as being a headcase. Bauer is just unstable.
  9. mvp 78
    That's a good deal. Sox need to sign one of those at some point. FULL THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. mvp 78
    Turnbull?????

    I was assuming that Llovera and Weiss were already DFA'd per SoxProspects projections on post 1929. Dalbec is probably a DFA too, but they have nobody to backup 1B besides him right now.
  12. mvp 78
    Eloy is permanently injured and is just a DH now. It's an overpay by the Red Sox. I'd do it if they throw in Gregory Santos and we give them Hamilton to ease the 40 man burden.
  13. mvp 78
    Disagree. Add a B and replace the R with a D and you get BLESSED. Sox could have a BLESSED Rotation.
  14. mvp 78
    40 man still includes: Jacques Llovera Robertson Weiss Hamilton That's 3 players I'd also DFA before moving on from Mata.
  15. mvp 78
    Even if they overload their draft with shortstops, do they have the right infrastructure to develop IFA guys into SP's? I'm not sure.
  16. mvp 78
    They need one of the top 5 guys. If they get shut out, I don't think fans will be happy even if they sign 2 lesser guys.
  17. mvp 78
    It seems like some people are for some reason? IDK. He's a guy that plays with a lot of passion and heart. He's pretty fun to watch. I think he would grow on a lot of Sox fans. Yes, he's a guy that is terminally online and that's a growing problem for many players, but 95% of Sox fans wouldn't even know or care about it.
  18. mvp 78
    I think they keep Mata until ST and see what he looks like. If he's terrible, they just DFA him. If he's really good, they put him on the roster. If he's ok, they try to sneak him through a DFA at the end of camp when there is a flurry of transactions and everyone is cutting down their rosters.
  19. mvp 78
    No, nobody cares about minor league deals. Guys that take up 40 man roster spots are issues. Mills was on the 40 man at the start of last year. He won't be this season, but he has MLB upside when healthy. It's fine.
  20. mvp 78
    Yes, the contract terms matter A LOT.
  21. mvp 78
    All of these pitchers are a lot of teams targets. That's the problem with acquiring pitchers solely via FA and not being able to develop your own SP.
  22. mvp 78
    The head case has had a much more productive career than Wacha.
  23. mvp 78
    Stroman: 3.73 ERA, 3.64 xFIP, 275 INN Wacha: 3.27 ERA, 4.23 xFIP, 261 INN Similar over the past two years. That's Stroman at his worst (injured) and Wacha at his most productive. If you look at the past three years, it gets worse for Wacha.
  24. mvp 78
    Why?
  25. mvp 78
    I'm a fan of Stroman, and he's just a more expensive and marginally healthier version of Wacha. It depends on what the contract is.
