    Devers: -6 DRS (3rd worst in the league) -9 OAA
  2. mvp 78
    Wrong. A 0.0 WAR isn't for an average third baseman, it's for a replacement level player you bring up from AAA.
  3. mvp 78
    Adley may be the best catcher in the league. If you can't tell that by watching the O's, I can't trust your eye test.
  4. mvp 78
    They need to pass 2 out of 3 of them somehow. It's a tall task that gets much taller if they don't really take it to the Astros this month.

    Per his MiLB page, I'm seeing 8 CS and 15 SB, so a 34.8% CS (Wong is 25% for reference).
  6. mvp 78
    Seems pretty good!
  7. mvp 78
    No, the analytics say that his defense is terrible.
  8. mvp 78
    Just wait until Kaleb Ort is the Opening Day starter for the Nashville Boppers.

    https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-48111/elysian-photos.htm Don't worry, he saves money on taxes because of how he flags the big dumb boat, which helped with the refit he did of it in 2020. He's probably put about 130-150M into it (purchase, refit, annual costs).

    I thought that was Gus?
  11. mvp 78
    Well, I guess it depends on what eye test you're using!
  12. mvp 78
    Eye test was initially used to refute new school stats. Now it's used to even refute counting stats like HR's and RBI that they used to have boners for. It's just obvious that they don't like the guy which is why the eye test is inherently flawed due to personal biases. "Oh, he has a baby brain." "All THOSE HR's don't count, just the ones I like." Complain about his defense! His offensive stats are fine though. His chase rate is better than it used to be. He's hitting the ball as hard as ever. His whiff rate is down.

    Turner IS playing great this season in high leverage situations, but it's far and away better than he's ever performed in those situations before. For his career, he's been worse overall (even when including this year) in high leverage situations than in context neutral environments.
  14. mvp 78
    He leads the team in extra base hits with 56 and total bases at 236. The next closest is Turner at 46 and 210 (only 5 less games played).

    We're supposed to get a low of 79 later this week. I don't believe it. It'll be hot here until it's time to put up the Xmas lights. 75-80 degree dewpoints are great too.
  16. mvp 78
    The HR landed two rows back. I can't blame him for trying. Players have been hurt worse for doing far stupider stuff.
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe they luck into some resting players at the end, but they really need to take the series against HOU and TOR that are coming up.
  18. mvp 78
    Bias. This is why the eye test doesn't work well. The dude has even put up good old school numbers and people still say it isn't enough (should end with .280 AVG/35 HR/100 RBI).

    @SmittyOnMLB I'm told by a couple of people that Jarren Duran should be fine after leaving yesterday's Red Sox game with a toe contusion. Precautionary. No X-rays were necessary and nobody has been flown to Houston to be part of the taxi squad just in case.
  20. mvp 78
    (MLB Leaders, not AL only) @itsbrianbarrett Raffy .530 SLG - 11th .877 OPS - 12th .256 ISO - 11th 29 HR - t-9th 85 RBIs - t-8th 52.8% hard hit rate - 10th He’s gonna hit his numbers despite some bad luck … .286 BABIP - 100th of 139 qualifiers Per the numbers, he's maybe the 3rd best hitter in the AL this season behind Ohtani and Robert.

    @bostonsportsinf Red Sox Strength of remaining schedule Hardest in the AL 1. Red Sox - .541 2. Guardians - .527 3. Rays - .521

    He's been good. I think both Reyes and Bernardino were good finds for 2023, but I don't think they are guys you can count on for multiple years.
  23. mvp 78
    It's hard to say who is doing a better job because I think they are set out to do two different things. DD's one singular goal is to make it to the playoffs. Bloom's goal is to grow the farm and turn the franchise into a long term steamroller like the Dodgers while staying competitive. I think the MLB results are important, but secondary to the Sox FO.
  24. mvp 78
    This FO lucked into finding Reyes and got Urias for a good deal. Previously, they were trying to fill holes with replacement level guys that had zero upside. When you consistently have to do that, rather than use AAA prospects that may have a higher ceiling, you're limiting that value you are providing to your team. For example, if Yorke or Rafaela were in AAA earlier this year, they are likely called up to fill the gaps rather than running to the waiver wire. The biggest problem this pipeline currently has is high level pitching in the upper minors. It should look better next season as SoxProspects projects the following for AAA bullpen: Liu, Fernandez, Guerrero, Zeferjahn, Politi. That doesn't include guys with prior MLB experience like Robertson, Kelly, Jacques. They may not all work out, but that group could provide a much better spark than what we got at times from Faria, Scott, Lamet, Dermody, Garza, etc.

    @StudyHallSharp Michael Lorenzen threw a no-hitter against the Nationals last week His xFIP in that start per Fangraphs? 5.85 Phillies fans don't seem to be too upset right now. We'll see how they feel after his next start.
