    The real point to me is that we're watching the Jays make some actual moves to get better while we haven't done anything of note since signing Buehler and trading for Narvaez. In my bitterness toward our front office I'm enjoying the fact that the Jays have passed us in the projections. We're Number Nine (in the AL)!

    You know me, I'm drinking my morning coffee and all fired up. But I really I am shocked they haven't added a single bat, when O'Neill was our third best hitter last year. I think it's ridiculous. As you have said a number of times, they're putting it on the kids.

    EVEN IF IT MEANS PAYING CBT WE'RE AIMING AT 90-95 WINS - Sam Kennedy

    Copying harmony's post from another thread: With Max Scherzer reportedly signing with Toronto, the Blue Jays have slipped past the Red Sox in FanGraphs' projected 2025 WAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14 The Red Sox rank ninth in the American League in projected 2025 WAR (and a close last in the AL East). That's what the objective data is saying.

    Yikes, you guys are getting brainwashed by Sam! 🙃

    OK, but to me it feels like keeping the payroll down is still Job One.

    His agent must have been reading Hugh's posts here: "Pivetta is gonna get PAID!" 😉

    Well, call me crazy, but I'm taking Tyler O'Neill to do better than his replacement Jack Diddlesquat this year.

    Personally I think Cora is very good at handling things like this. He'll let Abreu get some AB's against lefties and see how it goes.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Even with the pitching moves, you can't help noticing that all of them are short term and relatively low dollars (including Buehler), unless they sign Crochet to an extension, which is obviously critical.
  11. Bellhorn04
    There's reason to be optimistic about the pitching. Brez has focused a lot of effort there. Obviously I've become increasingly disturbed that he hasn't focused any effort on the offense or the fielding.
  12. Bellhorn04
    My thoughts exactly, except I don't have very much hope about it at this point.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I didn't mean to make this all about O'Neill. I wasn't upset that O'Neill left. But when you look at the numbers, we were horrible against LH pitching last year and that was a big problem. And they subtract O'Neill who was great against LH pitching. And then THEY DO NOTHING ELSE ABOUT OFFENSE. That's the problem. They're going cheap and hoping on rookies and injury returns. It's criminal negligence. And the projections Harmony is posting for our position players and the team overall reflect the negligence.

    It's just data and formulas.

    Good. Well deserved.

    "All we need is for everything to go right." Pollyannalytics at its finest!

    Of course I realize this talk is all in vain and they're likely done with the pen, possibly done, period.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The way I see it, a good reliever is almost automatically a difference maker. He'll be in dozens of high leverage situations.
  19. Bellhorn04
    A good late inning reliever can save you a few more games. Look at the leads we blew last year. That's a difference maker.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I know you're joking, but without O'Neill we'd probably have been 14-29 against lefties. But hey, why would we do anything about it? Baseball players are expensive!
  21. Bellhorn04
    5th pen arm? Robertson has been excellent the last 3 years. Compare him to any of our other relievers over that span. We're talking a one year deal. Like I say, the Sox cheapness is warping our thinking.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I disagree. Jansen and Robertson would both move the needle. I'll assume that Jansen is out of the picture. But Robertson pitched 72 innings last year with a 1.9 fWAR and a 1.7 bWAR. Works for me.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I don't think we have enough information to say and I would expect there's a lot of variation in how things are done.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Mookie still watches Red Sox games when he can. First reason he gives is Cora. He really thinks highly of Cora. https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2025/01/why-mookie-betts-still-enjoys-watching-red-sox-games.html
  25. Bellhorn04
    In a way it's a relief to have someone finally tell us exactly what happened. Scott was very emphatic that Mookie Betts was more than willing to be a Red Sox for life, if he got a market value offer.
