    He's wildly erratic with the stick but the numbers do not support the idea that he's been a 'minor league bat' or 'putrid'. He has a career OPS+ of 92 which is obviously below average but not horrible. For old school power numbers he has averaged 17 HR and 71 RBI per 162.

    moon, I posted this in the other thread but it got buried in the bowling posts: If the Red Sox signed Moose instead of Moreland as you wished: You'd move Devers moves to first. Where does that leave HanRam and JMart?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yes, we'll have more money - for one year.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Me too, but it's a 'false equivalency', right? Kimbrel will be looking for something like Chapman got-5/86.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Let's suppose the Red Sox did sign Moose. Devers moves to first, where does that leave HanRam and JMart?

    Also, Ryan was a freak of nature.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, thank God indeed.

    Jackso says he's a dolt.

    Well, let's assume that there are some better center fielders out there. The next question is whether any of them are available and at what price.

    Here are some interesting numbers on the 1-run game thing. Red Sox championship seasons: 2004 1-run games 16-18 .471 other games 82-46 .641 2007 1-run games 22-28 .440 other games 74-38 .661 2013 1-run games 21-21 .500 other games 76-44 .633 Which certainly supports the idea that your record in 1-run games in itself means jacksquat...

    Well, I guess the real question is whether his fielding is replaceable.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It's only early but it looks like we're somewhat fortunate Ohtani didn't sign with the Yanks.

    I have to double correct you there but it's all good. Stanton struck out 5 times April 3 vs the Jays and 5 times yesterday. Not the double golden sombrero...the double 'platinum sombrero' or some such thing. Wow that is some serious flailing.

    This is where some smart folks notice an overlooked flaw in the way a game is set up. Much like finding a loophole in the tax code.

    You said this: "I'm not sure if people get the idea of what depth is..." Do you really think 'people' don't grasp the idea that pitchers are fragile and having adequate backup is a good thing? The real issue at hand is whether the 2018 Red Sox began the season with sufficient depth. We don't really know the answer. But you could probably make a case that Johnson, Velazquez and Wright look like a semblance of reasonable depth. And if it turns out that more is needed, there are some other dumpster dive options out there as always.

    I think it's probably a combination of things. He's healthy, he worked hard in the offseason and added a little strength, and as you say his approach seems better and more aggressive. Fun to watch, that's for sure!
  18. Bellhorn04
    I disagree, I thought Farrell was generally fine with how he handled the pitching changes. As far as looking strong is concerned, Sale looked strong as an ox in that game he reached 300 K's. But in retrospect it might have been a good idea to pull him sooner. A lot of it's always going to be guesswork anyway.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Every team in baseball history has been susceptible to pitching injuries. With regard to whether the Red Sox have 'enough' pitching depth, you need some sort of comparison point. How does our depth compare to that of other contending teams? How does it compare to that of other Red Sox contending teams of the Theo Epstein era?
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'll get it started some time this week.
  21. Bellhorn04
    OTOH, maybe your comment that our opening day rotation was 'pretty bad' because it included Johnson and Velazquez for a start or two was overblown too...
  22. Bellhorn04
    Are you even being serious?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yeah Devers looks fantastic.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Looks like Durable Dick has settled in.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely, if that's what we're talking about it makes sense.
