    I think so.

    Simmons's fWAR is only 25...wow, quite the variance, especially for a position player.
  3. Bellhorn04
    You keep your best bats in the game if you're behind or tied. The designated fielders only come in when you have that lead to protect.
  4. Bellhorn04
    But you also continue to say you were OK with his performance in 2022.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Devers's defense can be lived with IMO. But when the rest of the infield are also lousy it's a real cluster.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Jeter always posted a pretty good WAR. That supports my point. Compare him to Andrelton Simmons and see.
  7. Bellhorn04
    And a negative WAR tells the tale.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Hitting is more important, but when most of your fielders stink, that's obviously a serious problem too. The front office is supposed to know things like this. I'm putting all the blame on them. What we think doesn't matter much.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Sox fans don't hate defense. They just think it would nice to have a player or two who can both hit and field. Too bad the front office hasn't been able to get or keep players like that. Maybe John Henry didn't care enough about defense in his dealings with Betts. If Verdugo's offense didn't fall apart again last year people would like him more. Plus, last year of contract, attitude issues and all that.

    If we're not braced by now, we're just not paying attention.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Younger and more upside, though. (Maybe the Yankees effed him up.) Plus it helps when you're Steve Cohen and you can set $13 million on fire if you feel like it. Plus tax.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Most of them are overpays. It's not the worst gamble I've ever seen.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Kike's -1.5 fWAR indicates he cost us 3 games in 4 months compared to an average shortstop.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It's a dicey proposition. When DD traded for Sale we had 3 guaranteed years. With Burnes you get 1 guaranteed year, and if he does sign an extension, it would have to be a hefty one. So why not just go the free agent route?

    "A rotation teeming with question marks" - an apt description of the Red Sox.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Nothing to get hung about.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I didn't misquote you. I quoted you as saying "easily up to 140". You said 450 total with 180 from Monty, which would leave 270 from Whit and Craw.
  18. Bellhorn04
    And Whitlock has only thrown 70-80 innings each of the last 3 seasons. But moon has him "easily" throwing up to 140 innings in 2024.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Ay, there's the rub.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Montgomery-Burnes. D'oh!
  21. Bellhorn04
    And how do you guarantee you'll be able to extend them?

    "Waiting For Moto", a tragicomedy in two acts, by Samuel Kennedy and Josh Beckett.
  23. Bellhorn04
    It's too risky for non-baseball reasons. Just look what happened with Dermody, a guy who pitched 4 innings for the Red Sox. As mvp suggested, I think he'll go to a lower-profile team where he can try to mend the image a little, if that's possible.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Great, but that still leaves the Yankees and Mets and Dodgers and Giants and Phillies and whoever else has some cash lying around.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Down goes Blaze!
