    You're not using the right numbers for Giolito. His 2023 total bWAR was 1.6, after a 0.5 in 2022.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Not if you count Giolito's whole season.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And a 19.25 million AAV is a lot to allocate to a 3/4 starter.
  4. Bellhorn04
    He was really good in 2019-2021. His 2022 wasn't great.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi was coming back from the IL and had a few rough games before straightening out in the postseason. Giolito was horrible for 14 games, almost half a season. It's just not a valid comparison.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Include innings please.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Career ERA 4.43 Career FIP 4.44 He's been good, bad and ugly over his career, netting out as supremely mediocre. Hated the signing. Dumpster dive with no upside. If he pitched well he'd opt out after 2024.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Giolito gave up 24 HR in his last 72 IP and he was our big pitching acquisition. That might qualify as moronic.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I think if insuring big contracts for pitchers was affordable, every single one would be insured...
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yes. But in this case the team would already have performed an exam and I assume would provide all the material to the insurer. So it would be a second exam that might reveal an issue the first exam didn't show. Would the Players Association be OK with that?
  11. Bellhorn04
    I wonder if the insurers get to conduct their own medical exams.
  12. Bellhorn04
    All's I know is Henry doesn't believe in it, and I'm guessing he crunched a number or two before arriving at that conclusion.
  13. Bellhorn04
    We'd probably need a look-see at the premiums first.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Giolito's actual theme song last year was "Charlie Brown".
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's a little better than that because it's a team option for what would have been the second year of free agency. If something bad happens they don't exercise that option. Overall I think this was a good move.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it was really all about s***** luck. Not sure if Giolito qualifies.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I did say I was gonna puke if they signed Giolito, so I'm not just buzzarding on him.
  18. Bellhorn04
    And if they don't replace Giolito and the innings he was expected to pitch, they're asking for disaster.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Giolito was a dubious signing because of the way he ended 2023.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Alanis Morissette would say it was ironic.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Also we may have a second baseman now.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Likely 2025, no?
  24. Bellhorn04
    There was a report a few years ago that the Sox generally don't insure contracts. Insurers are like casinos - the house wins more than it loses or they wouldn't be in business.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Hmmm...first "nothing enticing", now this. Next thing you know we'll have Casas being cast as disenchanted with the organization...
