2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Good sleeper pick this year. I'll bet the Cubs don't want to face them in the playoffs, especially with the ghosts of '03. -
But if you take a close look at his numbers you will see some definite good signs. His strikeouts per 9 are better than his career avg. His walks per 9 are better than his career avg. What's doing all the damage is his hits per 9. He is also now leading the AL in innings pitched.
-
The team's management has more data and more knowledge than we do, folks. It's comical to think any of us can do a better job with the batting order than they do.
-
Where are the 3 lefties in a row?
-
Huh? He just pitched 8 shutout innings.
-
Lackey beats Sale, Chapman gets the 4-out save. I think the Cubs are getting their mojo back and will finish strong.
-
Kimmi, doesn't all this tend to argue that Price is not actually having that bad of a season? His fWAR is now 3.2, which is worth $25.4 million per FanGraphs. He's on pace to exceed his salary in value according to FG.
-
Part of the reason Theo paid a king's ransom for Chapman, huh?
-
There are degrees of failure. Price has been a semi-failure but there are definitely some positive signs too.
-
This is usually the way it works though. In MLB offense is heavily dependent on the quality of the opposing pitching. You face a different starter each game, and starters have a lot of ups and downs in their performance. There are other ways to analyze the offense though, like how many times have we scored 5 runs compared to other teams etc.
-
Well, at least with replay the intention is to get the calls right. But this is a whole separate discussion that deserves its own thread.
-
Baseball games don't need a damn time limit. I can't remember ever walking out of a ballpark thinking the game went too long. Next thing you know they'll want to cut down on extra inning games. Do it like hockey does -after 10 innings, if you're still tied, the game is decided by a mini-home run derby. Now that's entertainment!

This really has been an extraordinarily vicious sequence of losses. -
'Sorry he croaked' - good way to put it.

No L for Price. Ziegler gets the dreaded BL - the combo pack of blown save and loss. -

Funny -
So that Groundballs Inc. thing the Red Sox had planned for 2015 was just a really bad idea.
-
Sucks

There's a name from my early nights of listening to Sox games on the radio. RIP
-
As long as he stays in the National League. :cool:
-
I don't really see the point of including Espinoza and Margot any more.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Rest Papi half the time...now what the heck does that accomplish...especially as far as giving people something to cheer about. -
$12.5 million, Slash. And a bargain based on what number?
-
Agreed, but by the time he went on the DL it was July 29 (right about now) and he had an ERA of 5.81.
-
No, of course he doesn't. But doesn't the fact that Victorino had a 6.1 WAR and Papi had a 4.4 WAR bear out that defense/speed are big components of WAR? You said your concern was with offense being overvalued and defense being undervalued.
