The improvement in his defense seems to be the thing that's keeping him around. This is the first year his defensive number on FanGraphs is out of the red.

You're saying that Boston is the stupidest team in MLB?

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Bellhorn04 replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I think the point here though is that Breslow needs to be decisive. -

With 40 or so games to the deadline, a lot of that is dependent on the position the team puts him in. He'll definitely be tested if the team is right on the borderline of a Wild Card spot again. -
Baseball is a strange friggin' game, when a guy with a 138 OPS+ has horrible batted ball data.
-
Not sure they want to mess with the catching when the pitching has been so good.
-
I think he's got them fast twitch muscles.
-
And the strain of Henry's restraint.

The Grissom of August 10/22-September 7/22. FTFY
-
Vegas was talking about a RH DH to replace Yoshida. On paper we're still light on RH offense. But if O'Neill is healthy and Wong, Rafaela and Refsnyder keep hitting like they are, we don't look so bad.

No it's not. It's loaded with ulterior meanings and agendas!!!

6/16 Yankees at Red Sox

Does running at the baserunner with the ball count as a pickoff attempt? -
His scoreless 8th and 9th innings in the last game of the White Sox series were pretty useful too.
-
Is he a luxury good if the Sox make the playoffs? He's second in fWAR for relievers on the Sox after Slaten.
-
Will Grissom even be able to get playing time when he's ready to play again? The way things are going they may have to send him to Worcester.
-
That's why WAR is a good thing, IMHO. Duran and DHam get a lot of value from the baserunning component. Can't just add steals to total bases without also factoring in the times caught stealing or picked off...it gets complicated.
-
To play baseball idiot savant here, that "deliberate" look may be a sign that unlike Mookie Betts, Grissom doesn't have great "fast-twitch muscles" going for him, which may help explain why he hasn't put one over the fence in 220 trips to the plate.
-
No, but that's part of my issue - I think Breslow had to free up that $10 million to sign Giolito. I think they should have kept Sale and signed Giolito.
-
Grissom's last 220 MLB PA's per SourestCherryPicking.com: BA .203 OBP .259 SLG .238 OPS .497 HR NIL
-
As for Grissom, if you look at his major league game logs from Day One, you're not going to like the trend you see one little bit.
-
I don't think you're completely getting my position. Of course keeping Sale would have been a gamble - with a big potential payoff like the one we're seeing so far. And what did we gain by passing up that gamble? A 10 million dollar payroll reduction, and a prospect. Not enough, IMHO.
-
The way I see it, if the Yankees, Dodgers or other current big spending teams were in the same position as we were with Sale, they wouldn't have traded him. They would have said "f*** it, let's keep him and hope we get lucky".
-
To me the bottom line is that Sale's fWAR per inning has remained good through those injury-ravaged and abbreviated seasons with us. The hilarious one is 2022, when he registered a 0.2 fWAR in 5.2 IP. Even that extrapolates well.
-
I do think Henry must respect Cora as a manager, to bring him back after a (well-deserved) suspension.
-
Booser has actually been outstanding. 2.84 FIP, 1.12 WHIP, 6.2 K/BB. For a guy no one had ever heard of. Major props for this one.
