    I wouldn't mistake the Angels' ineptitude for the Sox being able to manage one large contract. Have the Sox turned into the Angels now that they extended Devers?
  2. mvp 78
    Betts, plus cheap decent players on pre-ARB/ARB deals would be fine too?

    I prefer: Now you know how happy I can be Oh, and our good time starts and end Without dollar one to spend But how much, baby, do we really need? Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen? The best Beatles song, even better than Piggies, Band on the Run, and Wild Honey Pie.

    He couldn't have had more rehab starts per MLB rules. He could only stay in AAA for 20 days. His first appearance was Aug 1, his last was Aug 17.

    Romero was carried off the field last night. No update about his NON CONTACT injury. Hip/knee issue?

    If they retained Mookie, who does it stop you from signing? Not Arroyo. They wouldn't have Wong, Verdugo and maybe Eovaldi. However, picking Mookie's worst professional season is definitely one way to go about the argument, especially when he was still worth almost 4 fWAR. In 2019, he was already making 20M, so what does that additional 10M stop the Sox from getting? Just Kiké? So you're really comparing Mookie's RF replacements and Kiké to Mookie. Over the following decade, I think the Sox would have been better off having Betts as a fixture in RF than the uncertainty that came with turning over the roster. Or is the real consideration that Henry can only willingly "afford" one max contract. Is the choice between Xander, Raffy and Mookie and which one do you pick? They went with the youngest of the three. We'll see if that choice was the correct one. So far, it's not looking good.

    Yeah, that's why they drafted a bunch of SS's. Guys most likely to be developed at 3B: Antonio Anderson (big frame) and Cutter Coffey (big arm). Neither of those guys will be ready anytime soon though, so what's the plan in the immediate future? I think they stick with Devers at 3B for the next few years and Casas is the 1B. When Mayer is ready, does it push Story to 2B? IDK.

    Pitchers just carry a really huge risk. He could be worth it for a few years, but that would be the albatross to end all albatrosses.
  9. mvp 78
    Casas OAA -11 Devers OAA -6 It just depends on what metric you are looking at. Neither are very good defensively. Would Devers be good at 1B? We can't conclude that! He could be just as bad there too. Why not move Devers to LF?

    My brain intentionally obscures his stats so that I don't do self harm.
  11. mvp 78
    I'll never get over this trade.
  12. mvp 78
    This place will give you whiplash sometimes.
  13. mvp 78
    I see these posts all year long.
  14. mvp 78
    But they should just go pick one up!
  15. mvp 78
    One contract doesn't bury a franchise. They could have traded him for a low A guy and received salary relief.
  16. mvp 78
    They choose... poorly.
  17. mvp 78
    There are only two batters in all of MLB this year projected to hit .300 and 30 HRs: Ohtani and Acuna.
  18. mvp 78
    Yamamoto Trade prospects for controllable starter There’s two. Will Bloom do it? That’s another question. If JH wants to give this FO another shot, they better hit it out of the park this offseason and get into the playoffs next year. If he wants to move on, find another CBO that can move the franchise on a similar path, but with better MLB roster management. Not sure I can put the roster issues on Cora.
  19. mvp 78
    Yeah, it’s really great.
  20. mvp 78
    You’ve had a boner for moving him to 1b since at least 2016.
  21. mvp 78
    They can catch either HOU or the Jays when they play the two teams later in the season.
  22. mvp 78
    Nats are rolling with Chavis at 2B and Downs at SS tonight.
  23. mvp 78
    Another one?
  24. mvp 78
    I'd prefer someone with more than 2 years of control, but something similar.
  25. mvp 78
    Since the series @ OAK, the bats have been in hibernation for a month.
