    Right, and I do kind of hope that's what this is about. Pivetta is a lot like Porcello was. Nobody gets excited about them (except Porcello in 2016 and Pivetta on one of his really hot spells) but they do come in handy quite often.

    Not strutting for sure, but I'd rather have those other 5 titles on the franchise's books than not have them there.

    Tyler O'Neill is a guy who's great to have around at 6 million, but not so much at 3.5 times that.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think Randy has been duly corrected by now. 🙂
  5. Bellhorn04
    So this move could either be a very good sign or a very bad sign.

    6-6.7 is actually light. Pivetta had a 2.0 fWAR in 2024, and this was converted to 16.2 million, so 8.1. It's important to note that this is just a calculation of the average COST of a free agent player per WAR. It has nothing to do with what we perceive as actual value. It factors in all the busts.

    Yeah, a team stupid enough to trade Betts (and get very little in return) is stupid enough to do just about anything, I have to agree.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Well, I like him about as much as I like Giolito. This is what you get for 20-ish nowadays. 😛 It's probably all part of another Salute to Mediocrity season. Pivetta is kind of a master of mediocrity in his own right.

    Coin flips really work out sometimes.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Now that's a fiery start to the offseason! 🙂
  11. Bellhorn04
    I think the chances Pivetta accepts the offer are pretty strong.

    So a bunch of things in reply to those last two posts, mvp. 1) Thanks for starting an argument, this should boost the post count for the thread by half a dozen at least. 🙂 2) What do you have against history, man? All life becomes history, so if you don't appreciate history, you don't appreciate life. 🙂 3) Williams's .406 season is held up as his signature achievement, but us Talksox intelligentsia know that batting average is not one of the better measures of performance. 4) I believe Williams was very candid that he benefited from the advantages of baseball not having all the best players for a long time, and also from not having to face tough relief pitchers etc. He had a big ego but he was also very realistic. 5) Williams continued to produce at roughly the same level long after the color barrier was broken. In 1957 at age 38, he posted a 1.257 OPS and 233 OPS+, compared to 1941's 1.287 and 235.

    Not only that but his defense has seriously declined, which makes him kind of a one-trick pony. And he seems like a guy who will always have trouble staying on the field.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I don't know what it means. Last year I thought when we traded a certain left-handed starter it meant we were going to acquire a TOTR stud. I do know if they run back the same rotation as last year it will not be the ideal scenario for Sox fans.

    Nice article, Dan. I think I'll always look on Dalbec as a testament to how hard it is to make that final leap to be able to hit MLB pitching, even when you have consistently proven you can do a lot of damage against AAA pitching.

    Houck and Crawford are majorly late bloomers. They won't reach free agency until ages 32 and 33 respectively.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, who was that Ted Williams guy anyway?
  18. Bellhorn04
    The Boras Four will attest to the last part. But it didn't seem to work out very well...
  19. Bellhorn04
    Me either, but I have a feeling the dude is heavily involved...
  20. Bellhorn04
    Sure is. Is he worth $600 million plus? I think it's gonna be an irrational contract.
  21. Bellhorn04
    They can have all the coaches they want. But the Red Sox seem to be a team that makes a lot of mental blunders the last few years, so it becomes questionable what the coaches are actually achieving.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I'm not really in favor of trading Casas, but if the team decides to do something dramatic and move Devers to first, that's obviously a different story.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Just looking at Lopez's numbers, and there's not much to dislike. About as solid and consistent as you could ask for in this day and age.
  24. Bellhorn04
    So we're already seeing trades and FA signings. Personally I like. Wake up Brez and Sammy! 🙂

    Wacha is the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball.
