    McCutchen has only 8 games played in the OF this season: -9.2 dWAR (FanGraphs) Masataka is at -12.7. DH is a -17.5 runs adjustment in WAR, while LF is -7.5. Masa has a -1.3 UZR for the games played in LF (-1.3 -7.5 = -8.8). Factor the -17.5 he'd get prorated for the DH games and he gets to -12.7. I think that's how it works?
  2. mvp 78
    That's fine. You and I both know the FO isn't getting 2 starting pitchers OR Yamamoto anyway.
  3. mvp 78
    Sorry, OPS. I misread it as OBP I guess. Yes, Verdugo has s*** for SLG. He's never been able to hit for power. The problem is that Teoscar is now 30 and should probably have more "down years" going forward. His arm strength is down from last year. He's going to start to get slower. IDK, he's not a profile I see this FO going for. They brought in Turner and Masataka last year, two guys with patient approaches. Teoscar is the opposite of that and is similar to Hunter Renfroe, a guy the FO moved on from.
  4. mvp 78
    Yes, that's why even SoxProspects guys say "don't scout box scores." They rely on seeing the players AND analytics. It's both.
  5. mvp 78
    I'm not sure both of them can be in the rotation though. Houck has the higher ceiling as a starter than Crawford IMO. I'd go with: Yamamoto Bello FA/Trade Sale Houck pen: Crawford, Pivetta, Bernardino, Schreiber, Winckowski, Whitlock, Martin, Jansen They've loaded up on bulk guys (Houck, Crawford, Pivetta, Murphy, Winckowski, Whitlock) and I don't think it necessarily works for stabilizing the roster. Winckowski has been better now that they are pushing him towards a more pure relief profile. I'd like to see that for Whitlock as well. They should probably consider trading one or two of the bulk guys and adding in pure relief type arms or shoring up the rotation.

    Teoscar career OBP: 315 Verdugo career OBP: 341 Are you thinking of someone else?
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, but he's not rehabbing, he's just on the IL. A player can refuse the IL if he's healthy. Kluber is not healthy. With the rehab, a player can only be rehabbing on in MiLB for 20 days (the Trevor Story rule we just saw). My guess is Kluber's shoulder is really bad, he doesn't want surgery and is just waiting out the season. Maybe he retires in the offseason?
  8. mvp 78
    I'm less concerned about his power potential, but more about his patience at the plate (380 OBP, 15% BB) and his overall defense (9 assists and can play all 3 positions, 55 grade speed).
  9. mvp 78
    The one with the stop light and the other with the flashing yellow?
  10. mvp 78
    I wouldn't trade Duran at this point. He's not off the table, but he'd have to bring back a pretty substantial piece considering the amount of control the team has (ARB 3 is 2028).
  11. mvp 78
    Teoscar isn't a good fit for the Red Sox. He generally isn't a good RFer and k's at 30%. I'd rather just bring up Abreu and get 1 fWAR that way than spend $14M.
  12. mvp 78
    Does moon work for the FO? Why would the FO listen to some random poster screaming on the internet?
  13. mvp 78
    Shut down from all baseball activities on 7/29/23 and is on the IL (shoulder).
  14. mvp 78
    I wouldn't expect the playoffs then...
  15. mvp 78
    If Hickey starts in AA, it's because he's learning a new position. Otherwise, they are just wasting time on him. Wikelman probably starts in AA, but is called up sooner than Mayer unless Mayer starts off really hot. Mayer is dealing with a shoulder injury right now, so he's probably not going to get enough AA AB's this year to be on track for a quick call up next season.
  16. mvp 78
    If he gets promoted, I'm not sure what position he'd play. He couldn't play behind the dish in MLB.
  17. mvp 78
    The top 5 of Moncada, Beni, Espinoza, Devers and Kopech all peaked as top 10-20 prospects. Bleis isn't even top 100 right now. Rafaela is still low on some lists (60-70ish).
  18. mvp 78
    Would pitch about as well as Kluber.
  19. mvp 78
    I think he takes the buyout this offseason. I don't know if Bloom brings him back at more money, but I'm not sure it makes financial sense to have 2 DH's on this team. I'd rather they spend the money on starting pitching. The only way this works is if they are going to go with: DH Turner LF Masa CF Duran RF Rafaela I'd rather Rafaela in between two bad to mediocre defenders instead of all the way in RF (yes, I know how important RF is in Fenway).
  20. mvp 78
    I get the idea that posters have, but people throw out ridiculous trades on here. Paulino's ranked 24th now. He's not good right now. With all the tools we have as Red Sox fans (SoxProspects, BTV), at least take the time and come up with a trade that makes sense.
  21. mvp 78
    It's quite the out you've provided him since you've basically used that as a talking point ever since Bloom came aboard anyway.
  22. mvp 78
    What trade value does Paulino have??? 732 OPS (464 vs LHP) Who wants a platoon SS that's still in High A? There's just nothing there that's going to bring back a starting pitcher.
  23. mvp 78
    Or instead of getting a pitcher at the deadline, getting a better pitcher than Kluber in the offseason?
  24. mvp 78
    Once Turner is gone, Masa is the everyday DH IMO.
  25. mvp 78
    Best since 7/1/16: Moncada Benintendi Espinoza Devers Kopech
