    Correlation something something causation .

    Raffy might also turn into Mr. Aches and Pains. He had a bunch of issues this year. We could go back and forth on this for a long time. It's all in Brez's hands. He's got a lot to figure out. I will however place my bet that Duran doesn't get traded.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, but Duran is not necessarily a clone of Ellsbury either. And Duran is a cheap controlled asset at the moment. Who knows, Brez might do it. It would really take some major cojones.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Sure, let's just trade away our best player - again.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Nothing is guaranteed. We could trade for a pitcher who gets injured right away. Pitchers are the riskiest commodity of all.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I get that. But as I said, our offense was not really such a big strength this year, and removing Duran from it would not help. Past blockbuster trades for starters-Pedro/Schilling/Beckett/Sale have always been prospects only, I believe. There's probably a really good reason for that.

    Hey, this is the place for the wildest of wild speculation.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Who knows? The point is, he was by far, not even close, the best position player on the team. And he was injury-free. I like his chances of still being good next year.

    You might actually be able to make a case that Teel is the one guy who's untouchable. Star catchers might be the rarest commodity in baseball over its history.
  10. Bellhorn04
    What should temper anyone's enthusiasm for trading Duran is the realization that our offense turned out not to be a strength in 2024. One of the articles from our new writers highlighted this. Given that, trading away offense might be pretty darn stupid. Brez has quite a conundrum on his hands. It's really hard to figure out what the right play would be.
  11. Bellhorn04
    We have guaranteed replacements-plural-for Duran and his 7-8 win season? Man, our future in even better shape than I thought.
  12. Bellhorn04
    What a masterstroke!
  13. Bellhorn04
    Michael King has been outstanding for them, he has really made the Soto trade pay off.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I honestly don't know what they had against Wacha. He pitched pretty good for us and his price tag has been eminently reasonable by current standards.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I think Henry neither wants to be Fried by Max nor suffer Burnes from Corbin.
  16. Bellhorn04
    This is a rather devastating post. 😜
  17. Bellhorn04
    Hey Dipre, good to see you here. Fried has been an elite talent, but there seem to be bad trends with his health and effectiveness. Flaherty and Severino would definitely be on the list of guys they should be looking at.

    Sam the Sham doesn't want to talk about payroll numbers because he thinks that would give the team a "competitive disadvantage". Why do I find that so hard to reconcile with his announcement back in January that he expected the 2024 payroll to be lower than the 2023 payroll - when there were still a pile of unsigned free agents? That's our Sammy though.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I disagree. The Royals had a +43 differential in their 13 games with the White Sox, but they also had a +48 differential in their other 149 games. So it's not like they sucked against everyone else. The Red Sox had a pitiful differential of +3 in their 7 games with the White Sox and a +1 in their other 155 games. I think both teams are where they should be.

    A somewhat dispiriting take on the Sox end of season press conference from OTM: https://www.overthemonster.com/2024/10/2/24259052/the-red-sox-offseason-is-already-off-to-a-frustrating-start The key point I guess being Breslow's apparent uneasiness with the question of pursuing a high-priced starter.
  21. Bellhorn04
    And he's been an innings chomper since 2020.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, a lot of our blown saves were a group effort.
  23. Bellhorn04
    He also finished the year very strong.
  24. Bellhorn04
    He was a reclamation project and a pretty pricey one at that. Horrible, horrible work on the rotation it was. They kind of deserved what they got.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I agree with moon in that I hope the Red Sox aren't looking for any more reclamation projects to add to the rotation.
