Just make sure to exclude any years that corrupt your sample into looking bad for your argument!
-
I know. -
It would be the worst possible outcome. I don't think there's a chance though. It's more "interest kings" type nonsense.
-
I'm on the faculty. Game recognizes game.

Giolito Expected HR by Ballpark 2023: Actual HR 40 Fenway Expected HR 29 Past 3 years: Actual HR 91 Fenway Expected HR 59
-
Giolito at Fenway: 252 tOPS+ Giolito with McGuire catching: 188 tOPS+ Maybe stick him with Wong as his personal catcher! Out of all the catchers that received him at least 10 times, the worst was Grandal at 101 tOPS+. Seems like he does best with a consistent guy behind the plate.

The website still has a picture of Xander on the Who We Are page. Talk about not being able to read the room...
-
They "went for it" after dealing Vaz? They were actively shopping JD and Sale, but Bloom couldn't pull the trigger because of his fear of losing a trade. Bloom f'd up. That's all there is too it.
-
He received CY votes in 3 straight years. Wacha has never received a single CY vote. If the Sox can tap into something with Giolito, it's good news for '24. His ceiling is so much higher. He's also 3 years younger.
-
In your 3 year sample that you berate people about: Giolito 3.97 xFIP (sky falling on his performance) includes 140 more innings Wacha 4.13 xFIP (why didn't we keep this guy?!?!?!)
-
This is going to be another one of "those" topics on here? All I know is that there are enough Rays fans calling him a scumbag that have been following the story so I don't know why Red Sox fans would want to provide him cover.
-
The price will always be too high going forward. The Sox will always believe the market value is more than what it should be. Henry is still stuck on Moneyball, a theory that produced zero WS titles in its homeland.
-
They went over on accident on a last place team! The signs were there last season when he got pissy about Cohen and stuck up for small market teams.
-
It only took a few short seasons, but Henry blackpilled us on the Sox.
-
Nope. I was just saying that they COULD get an ace for that package.
-
Nobody is taking on that contract and it's not enough of a salary dump for the Sox to bring in Monty or Snell anyway. Maybe he has a big year and they can dump him in the offseason?
-
Werner also does want to spend. Unfortunately, he has a minority stake. If Werner was in control instead of Henry, the payroll would be higher. 100%
-
Owners putting their feet in their mouths is why we have to deal with Sammy.
-
We specialize in those on here. Always have.
-
With a 4.47 xFIP.
-
I thought you were the guy that was all about a 3 year sample size being the true measuring test? 21-23 Giolito: 6.9 fWAR Wacha: 5.2 fWAR
-
It's easy if every player is just a cell in a spreadsheet!
-
Also, Casas was fine at 1B in the second half. Why start experimenting now? If you're going to move Raffy, just push him to LF fulltime IMO.
-
That would be a horrible downgrade for the Sox. Replace an everyday AS caliber 3B for either a pitcher that typically can't go 130 innings or a guy everyone thought was a 3rd starter prior to the playoffs last year.
-
Yes, Valdez has horrible splits. We already know this.
