    Prior to last season, he was ranked in the 40's (FanGraphs) for the Guardians, whereas Whitlock was in the top 20 for the Yanks. He walks a lot of guys and doesn't have a third pitch apparently. Not sure the Sox need another bullpen guy to stash. If there's a Rule 5 guy that could make sense it would be Carlos De La Cruz (PHI) a RHB who plays OF/1B. I mentioned a some others a few days ago like Kristian Robinson, another RHB OFer.

    Wong has a nice arm, but sucks at framing and blocking. Reese has a bad arm, but is ok at framing and blocking. Vaz did all of the above at a relatively proficient level. He's just a good all around catcher. There's nobody on the current MLB squad blocking the prospects from taking over a fulltime role at that position.

    I'd take '22 Wendle for 2M to be the starting 2B and clear up some of the clutter at 2B the Sox currently have. Hindsight of course.
  4. mvp 78
    Maybe they should have had some sort of deadline fire sale in '22 then?
  5. mvp 78
    Depends on if Wendle is going to hit as bad as he did in '23.

    Yeah, if the Astros are bored with him, we can take him of their hands.

    I would bet that Reyes is probably in line for most of the reps even though Valdez has the platoon advantage. Valdez is just such a horrible defender and they need to move beyond that.

    I agree that Duquette could never make such an important deal.
  11. mvp 78
    The pitching has been a mess since 2016 that's for sure.
  12. mvp 78
    Bregman 2B Chapman 3B Yamamoto SP Montgomery SP Imanaga sP Buy Devers an OF glove. FULL THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tim Anderson got his ass kicked. He is not a dirt dog. No thank you.
  14. mvp 78
    It feels right though vs the 37 badWAR?
  15. mvp 78
    Per BTV: Bregman Javier Garcia for Yorke Kelly FULL THROTTLE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  16. mvp 78
    The RHB can go play LF.
  17. mvp 78
    He can play 2B?
  18. mvp 78
    AKA, the reason the Sox were 30th in defense at 2B.
  19. mvp 78
    The 4 seamer is just his worst pitch and either needs to be used as a waste pitch up or just forgotten. The slider gets vertical break rather than horizontal break which maybe he could turn into more of a sweeper at a different velo band? IDK.

    Really just need to see Cespedes stateside first for initial impressions and then at more competitive levels in '25. I have stated that they should trade Mayer all offseason. It's nothing against him personally, but his ceiling isn't really multiple MVP years and a HOF career. He should be an above average SS for his career and make a ton of money, but I think the Sox can use him now to acquire assets they don't have and struggle to develop in their system (pitching).
  21. mvp 78
    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.
  22. mvp 78
    moon doesn't want to pay 2M for defense at 2B though!
  23. mvp 78
    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***.
  25. mvp 78
    Simmons through age 28 was on track to have a better HOF candidacy than Vizquel, but he fell apart right after.
