    As much hope as I have for Craig, with the way our pitching is falling apart, he could still get a failing grade for his first season. The pitching was the thing he and Bailey were supposed to fix. After a very promising start it's back to the same old mess, with very little in the way of positives going forward.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Seems like the Royals did what the Red Sox should have done last offseason, with their signings of Lugo and Wacha, who have a combined 5.2 fWAR to date. Along with the near-theft of Ragans, the Royals put together a pretty good rotation in a hurry, and without a massive investment.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And again, the reasons behind trading Sale made some sense in isolation. But when they had no plans to add much to the rotation, it was a stupid thing to do.
  4. Bellhorn04
    In our last 18 games we've given up less than 5 runs 3 times.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Just about everything about our rotation construction has been weird since JH had his big epiphany about the payroll. One gets tired of going back over and over it. The bottom line is, it's still a big problem. And Andrew Bailey could obviously only improve it a little with the tweaks he made. The value of the tweaks seems to have all worn off.

    Rich Hill just did a throwing session for interested teams, BTW, and you won't be surprised to hear the Sox were one of them.

    ERA by months: 2.62 4.12 4.38 4.91 6.05 Mr. Bailey?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Nate was actually a free agent signing, not an extension. I guess it would be more accurate to say - instead of "since DD was fired" - "since JH let DD know the fun was over."

    Grissom already looks like a change of scenery candidate.
  10. Bellhorn04
    2B is being covered now by Hamilton, Sogard and Gonzalez. I guess Valdez is back too? Gonzalez is the main RH bat there. He has an .813 OPS and is hot. I don't think anyone wants to see Grissom taking his place right now.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Cora said something about Grissom having to work on some things with his hitting - bat path or whatever. I doubt we see much more of him in a Boston uniform this year. Try again in 2025.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And Grissom's contribution to that fWAR was a -0.9. And his numbers have been mediocre at best in Woo. A .333 SLG playing in a hitter's park. He's still not showing any signs of the hitter that he was projected to be.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The last two years they went out and got Kluber and Giolito while dealing Sale. Not the greatest outcomes.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yep, you and me and every other Sox fan.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Whiffle Man would be preferable.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Max Multi Magoo'd us!
  17. Bellhorn04
    You missed this piece of wonderful news about 2020: Price decided not to play that year and was not paid a nickel by either the Sox or the Dodgers.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yes. Max Magoo'd us.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Taking 2 of 3 in both Texas and KC is as good as you could ask for. (And those have traditionally been tough venues for Sox teams.) Can't complain about the way the team is playing. It's just the rotation that looks like a potentially big problem...
  20. Bellhorn04
    We might be seeing a fair number of bullpen games down the stretch...
  21. Bellhorn04
    Our big addition for 2025 will probably be Giolito.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Burnes looks like the best FA starter for sure. But I don't know if the Sox have the appetite for risk to go after him. He's about to turn 30. It's the same old deal - he'll be getting paid for what he's done. And the risk of him being yet another big dollar bust will be large.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Crawford looks dreadful. And they said Pivetta's next start is going to be skipped because his velocity is down. We've got everything going for us but the starting rotation. The area they failed to address.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The average MLB CFer has an OPS of .692 in 2024. So yeah, .700 would be a logical target for Little Raf.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Fried looks very risky right now. His payday is shrinking.
