    What did Offerman do in the two years after '99?
  2. mvp 78
    Why did they sign all 3? IDK! Not a great idea!
  3. mvp 78
    No. Duquette gave the Sox some real great seasons like 2000 and 2001 even when it had HOF talent on it. They would have never gotten to a WS under Duquette.

    The reports were that the scouting department were high on Masa. This wasn't just Bloom in a vacuum picking up a guy on his own. Aren't all FA signings risky? Most of them are about 50/50.

    Dan Duquette?

    The issue with JD was that he fell off after the first month or two the past few years. 6/1 - 9/30/22: 703 OPS The worry was that he was older and was just wearing down. I think people are hopeful that Masa is just adjusting to the game and can be better in the future.

    At least nobody got stabbed in the forehead with a fork.
  8. mvp 78
    I just like him so much better out of the pen.

    I think Sale is the 4th/5th starter. He's going to be on the roster unless he's on the IL or retires. The only good thing is that I'm fine with mixing and matching the 4th an 5th starters of Pivetta/Crawford/Gambrell/Houck as needed. I just don't want those guys to be relied on as mid rotation or better. At some point, Wikelman Gonzalez could be up and competing for the back of the rotation in 2024 which would make it look more like: Yamamoto (yeah right) Bello Montgomery Wikelman Crawford/Sale If that's the rotation heading down the stretch, the Sox would look much better than they have in a long while.

    Jordan has a 677 OPS in AA, but is still only 20. There's time for him to turn it around, but the worry is that he is going to max out at an MiLB level with his long swing. His light tower power also really has shown itself yet and he's basically 1B only going forward.

    68k's is amazing in this day and age in MLB. That is "doesn't strike out."
  12. mvp 78
    My assessment is still fair. I said "about 20 HR" and "doesn't strike out." That's more of a projection than you'll ever do.
  13. mvp 78
    95th percentile in K rate. Whiff 89th percentile. He has elite bat to ball skills.
  14. mvp 78
    I guess if the only measure of playing well is k/bb...
  15. mvp 78
    No, he is definitely not.
  16. mvp 78
    They'll get there. Just wait. Sox drafted some High School guys that will take a few extra years to reach the majors (Mayer, Yorke, etc.). There could be a real dramatic influx of talent considering all the big named prospects at AA and above right now.

    BB% by month: Apr 11.8 May 7.6 Jun 6.9 Jul 2.2 Aug 3.1 Sep 3.1 OBP Apr 373 May 410 Jun 333 Jul 344 Aug 281 Sep 281 OPS Apr 832 May 962 Jun 742 Jul 844 Aug 640 Sep 765 He had a very bad August. He's making hard contact, which is why his July OPS was still in the 800's even though his BB rate was down.

    https://www.overthemonster.com/2023/9/7/23862858/masataka-yoshida-will-be-fine-i-think-red-sox-analysis Don't know if this was posted before. It basically says that Yoshida's issue right now is that he's chasing offspeed pitches. Considering the type of hitter that he is, he should be able to turn it around. Again, he shouldn't be a a fulltime LF. Maybe a greater workload at DH would save him next season? Acclimating to MLB was going to be hard and I didn't expect this to be his best year. He should be better next year. The question is how much better can he actually be?
  19. mvp 78
    While ignoring all the other things around those handpicked years. Got it.
  20. mvp 78
    He and Blaze are Rule 5 eligible in 2024 though! Time to panic!
  21. mvp 78
    He's spent a lot of time at 2b at an appropriate level for him: AA.
  22. mvp 78
    That recipe calls for coconut milk. I've heard that your milk often has mice in it. Does your coconut milk have mice too?
  23. mvp 78
    So harmless that he got thrown off the Patriots beat for some ********, but is still working in this town.
  24. mvp 78
    We love those!
  25. mvp 78
    Teel is a college hitter with a great presence behind the plate. He was going to start in AA next season, so may as well call him up for a few weeks at the end of the year.
