    Nope, don't remember that one! All 3 starts were in September in a year they missed the playoffs. That's a blur.

    Sure, if he becomes a different pitcher THEN we can call him a #1. I just see a lot of people jumping the gun and proclaiming him a top of the rotation pitcher RIGHT NOW. His underlying metrics are middle of the road. He gets hit hard and doesn't miss bats. Since his BB rate is down, he's a very solid starter. It's just hard to say if his current success (ERA outpacing xFIP) is going to continue long term.

    Are people good with Casas now? @itsbrianbarrett Casas Since the start of June 128 PAs .283/.367/.531/.898 .248 ISO - 27th of 176 qualifiers 11.7% walk rate - 33rd Barrel percentage - 14.1% (23rd) Hard hit rate - 50.6% (32nd)

    Schreiber spent a whole season in AAA pitching great for the PAWSOX. Jacques was mediocre even in AAA this year. Jacques is just up because he's a LHP.

    His grade seems to be trending upwards. If they guys in POR now keep progressing and push their way to BOS next season and provide value, his grade will go up.

    Not Paul Blackburn.

    Why should it take Bloom 4 years to make this team a .500+ ballclub if we're throwing out 2021? If you throw any year out it would be 2020 (pandemic, Sale out unexpectedly, Mookie trade, ERod out unexpectedly, no cap room due to reset). The realistic expectations were: he was given some All Star adjacent players with a tight cap situation and needed to try to build a farm and be relatively competitive. It really worked in 2021. It's close to working in 2023 even though the rotation hit some devastating injuries. The problem was that last season was an unmitigated failure where they had a bunch of expiring contracts and the team was basically a 162 game funeral. Bloom should have just blown up that team and built for the future rather than dragging everyone through it.

    That's only 7 games because of the AS break. Put it back to 10 games and it's a wRC+ of 70. Really skewed because of 2 HR's in the past few games. I'm not sure two more HR's will get GM's calling.

    I'm not sure Kiké has much trade value and the Sox would have to eat his price tag. Duvall has played pretty poorly since coming back from injury so I don't think he's going anywhere.
  10. mvp 78
    Mata? Maybe Wikelman? Would a team in the hunt want a guy like Hamilton on their bench?

    2020 was: Yorke no pick Jordan Wu-Yellend Drohn Getting 3 out of 4 picks to work out seems good to me?
  12. mvp 78
    They were the 30th rank system before him, now they are probably about 13th? He's been fine. Solid B. If he had done a fire sale last year, they'd be in even better position.
  13. mvp 78
    The draft is a crapshoot. They went a little underslot with that pick because they didn't have a 2nd round pick. Not every 1st rounder turns into a top 100 guy. That pick has worked out as a plus IMO.
  14. mvp 78
    No, the guy is a 31 year old journeyman.
  15. mvp 78
    I don't see Bello as a TOTR guy. He's probably could be a decent #2 though. He doesn't get enough k's, gives up a lot of hard contact and most of the underlying metrics are average. He has a good 4 pitch mix, but none of the pitches are really plus plus. Nice to have you back on here.
  16. mvp 78
    2023: Starter - ERA 4.73, OPS 783, WHIP 1.34, xFIP 4.02 Reliever - ERA 1.66, OPS 371, WHIP 0.69, xFIP 4.32 If you look at his Statcast, the big change is the value on his 4 seamer. There's no change in velo or hard hit rate (40ish%). Either he's been lucky while relieving, or the shorter starts have allowed him to control the pitch more effectively.
  17. mvp 78
    Jacques was an MiLB Rule 5 pick. At 28, there's not much to him either.
  18. mvp 78
    Was tempted to increase font size too.

    Pitcher. You can fake the DH part.
  21. mvp 78
    Time to give Bloom a wedgie...
  22. mvp 78
    Ian Cundall of SoxProspects belives the Sox will have about $600K left over to try to sign Phoenix Call. Right now he's a speedy, defensive first guy with hit tool questions. We'll see if they can get him onboard.
  23. mvp 78
    Not sure I want any of them pitching for BOS this season.
  24. mvp 78
    Fernando in RBI Baseball or John Dowd in MVP Baseball.

    @SoxProspects More transactions: IF/OF Max Ferguson AAA -> A+ LHP Rio Gomez off of AAA development list And not a transaction, but Dinelson Lamet will enter the AAA rotation and will start tomorrow. Barraclough tonight, Drohan Sunday. Not a surprise about Ferguson. He was only sent up to WOO because of the roster issues. "Org guys" are often moved around like that whenever they need to fill in some cracks. It also shows to me that they don't really see much of a ceiling in Ferguson.
