Which has nothing to do with your comments about Pittsburgh having no interest in Vazquez because he'd be blocked by Cervelli. No one is suggesting Vazquez is better than Cervelli, but he has a low price and years of control in his favor.
-
I don't see how he could have had that much of a negative impact on the pitching.
-
But it's unlikely they'll be keeping him beyond 2019. If they don't trade him this offseason they'll likely trade him at the deadline, assuming they're not in contention.
-
But of course they may be able to trade Cervelli (reportedly Dombrowski inquired already) who is relatively expensive and in the final year of his deal.
-
What were the projections for the 2013 team?
-
I really hope the bullpen guys don't make up a bunch of 'Who's the closer?' t-shirts.
-
And we still won 119 games with them. Shows you the whole team doesn't have to be great.
-
Eovaldi has always been known as a guy with great stuff who couldn't put it all together. Adding a cutter to his repertoire seems to have made an enormous difference. He put up K/BB numbers he had never approached before. His health history is a huge concern, obviously.
-
The bullpen falls on Dombrowski's shoulders and I am sure he knows that full well. If the team comes out of the gate blowing late leads left and right, he will be forced to make a trade. It will be addressed one way or the other. There's no choice in the matter.
-
The real miracle in 2013 was the starting rotation. In 2012 the starters put up the worst collective ERA in franchise history. And the only addition was Dempster.
-
There's always going to be some up and downs. The bottom line is, since Henry bought the team we have the most rings of any team.
-
I think having Eovaldi and Pearce for a full season should qualify as an enhancement.
-
Luck is usually part of winning a championship. But winning 4 in 15 years in the modern baseball era, that ain't luck, baby.
-
What's a little funny about your position, jacks, is that you keep making such a big deal out of us losing Kelly. Kelly did not have a great season last year by any measure. In conventional metrics he had a 4.39 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. In advanced he had a 0.7 fWAR. We've had one significant loss in Kimbrel, and that's it.
-
You're a maestro of metaphor!
-
Within a day or two, the wife has sold some of the surplus goodies online, and ordered a new furnace with manageable monthly payments.
-
What do you think of my new signature line?
-
Kelly was not great last year - fWAR of 0.7 He was great in the postseason. But so were Barnes and Brasier.
-
Well, it's still only January, jacks.
-
There are more scrap heap signings yet to come, I think. There might also be a trade. There might even be a panic move at some point early in the season...
-
A 'sordid production history' - man, you're quite the wordsmith once you get rolling.
-
Red Sox 2019 bullpen = Dave's Big Dare?
-
Keep up the good work moon!
-
Right. That's the one thing that's puzzling in light of the bullpen situation.
-
When the payroll's pushing 250 mill and the farm is depleted, it does tie your hands a wee bit. Besides, he didn't need to do much more for the 2018 team than what he did.
