  1. Looks like Cora was using the 'load up on righty hitters vs. a lefty starter' policy combined with giving Devers and Beni a rest day. I don't necessarily agree with it either, but I can see some rationale in it.
  2. Also, Price is a much smaller culprit than the other two. If you narrow it to Sale and Porcello: those two went from 7 out of 60 to 17 out of 48.
  3. Looks like that should be 21 out of 69. Still brutal.
  4. Excellent post Dewey.
  5. The rumors have the Sox listening to offers. We'll see.
  6. If the Sox do entertain offers for Betts this offseason I think there's a pretty good chance they don't get one that's a slam-dunk, and end up holding onto him, dealing him at the deadline if the team is out of it.
  7. I wonder what offers the Birds got for Machado last offseason and why they ended up dealing at the deadline instead.
  8. In a case like JBJ's, the automatic raise policy could be to his detriment.
  9. Cashman made a couple of solid picks there, plus letting Robertson go.
  10. And Koji was not out of nowhere. He was an established reliever with fine numbers that Ben got a crazy good price on.
  11. Are there any cases of players getting the same money or negligible raises in arbitration, or do they always get a bump unless non-tendered?
  12. When you're the Red Sox, those arms seem to be elusive devils. If you go back over our pitching stat sheets each year, you won't find many of these out of nowhere relievers who did well over any significant period.
  13. Travis is starting to raise some hopes he can hit at the ML level.
  14. I think there is a real risk that none of the dumpster dives will amount to anything. You could produce a pretty lengthy list of dumpster dive pitchers the Red Sox have acquired over the years, and not a lot of them were successful. Theo himself has used a philosophy of allocating a fair chunk of money to the bullpen.
  15. I don't think Sox fans should expect a big haul of top prospects by trading Mookie this offseason. Because the team that acquires him will also have to pick up a tab of $27 million or so for one season of control.
  16. It certainly removes all but a few teams from even thinking about it, if the Halos ever do decide to move his contract.
  17. I hope he stays on the Angels. But I hope he gets to play in a World Series or two.
  18. Vazquez is much better than Leon, and that's why he's the #1 catcher. But Chris Sale has historically done much better with Leon behind the plate.
  19. As jung pointed out, Sale has always done extremely well against the Angels, so we have to temper our excitement a bit on that account.
  20. Trout seems to be in a class of his own.
  21. I don't think any of us know what approach the Sox are going to take this offseason. Shaughnessy thinks Dombrowski is a goner. If he's right, what does that mean in terms of the next team-building philosophy?
  22. I believe you have been spot on correct about this.
  23. Sale's K/9 and K/BB ratio are the best of all time, and quite a bit higher than CC's at the same point in time.
