    Maybe he's referring to Bauer only being able to get a job overseas last year.

    I think the rest thing is more of a scheduled season-long thing than a day-to-day thing. Some of it would be day-to-day.

    Semien had only a .636 OPS in 17 postseason games, .491 in the first 15 of them, so rest proponents might argue he was tired.
  4. Bellhorn04
    No, not another misunderstanding on Talksox!
  5. Bellhorn04
    A good trivia question would be to name every Hall of Famer who played for the Red Sox at any time in their career.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Juan Marichal pitched for the Sox in 1974.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Lee Smith We're listing a lot of guys who were once great, at the end of their careers.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Tony Perez.

    WAR tells all. And no, we did not have very impressive fWARs in 2023. Raffy at 3.1 and Duran at 2.4 were the only position players above 2, which is about average.

    But he said yesterday in post #414: Very simple. I didn’t want to go the Tampa way. The Red Sox won 4 championships by not doing it the Tampa way. Bloom did in fact come from Tampa. Breslow did not. So Red gave a reason, but it wasn't good enough?
  11. Bellhorn04
    In the analytics area I'm sure they're a lot alike. We'll see how alike they are in their approach to constructing an MLB team. Bloom left a lot to be desired in that area.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Duvall can hit righties too, though.
  13. Bellhorn04
    You're definitely being the aggressor here. You won't let up about this. Didn't Red say his dislike of Bloom had to do with the Tampa Bay North thing?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Well, that's a bit of a simplification. Pivetta has been our most durable pitcher the last few years, but I don't think that makes him our ace.
  15. Bellhorn04
    One of your best lines of 2023.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Agree with all this.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Re-sign Duvall right away and clear up that issue.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It could be crazy, that's for sure. I'm sure Breslow will explore trades for pitching. I just have my doubts about trading Mayer unless the return is huge, and his value is a bit depressed right now. Plus no matter what Breslow said about being bold, I'm not sure he wants one of his first moves to be trading the team's top prospect. Could be yet another PR problem for a team that's had it's fill.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but not until after they played some pretty good ball in a Sox uniform.
  20. Bellhorn04
    My argument is that we have lots of money now to spend on pitching. Plus we have a guy in Breslow who has a lot of acumen in the pitching development area. So why would you trade your top prospect for something you should be able to achieve with the other resources you have?
  21. Bellhorn04
    Good thing they didn't feel that way about guys like Rice, Lynn and Mookie, IMO.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Things obviously reached a tipping point for them. If they wanted to keep trucking the same way they wouldn't have fired Bloom, especially considering that he did succeed in building the farm and cutting payroll.
  23. Bellhorn04
    DD's philosophy has been working pretty well IMHO. Plus he left us with some decent prospects. And didn't trade anyone who really hurt. So I disagree on that too. I just had my coffee too. I'll calm down after a few more of these argumentative posts.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I get all that, but you have to be super-judicious in who you trade. DD nailed it when he traded Moncada and Kopech for Sale. Going back further they traded Hanley for Beckett. Hanley turned out to be a good player but not elite. If Mayer turns out to be elite that's one we'll regret. We don't want another Bagwell.
  25. Bellhorn04
    This winter is clearly different. They didn't fire Bloom to keep doing Bloom things.
