  1. Not enough to move the needle. It's not the worst signing anyone has ever made, that's for sure. But it doesn't look like a major success considering the money and the hype.
  2. It's funny, you'd think throwing the ball accurately to first would be easier than fielding it. But it's often the throwing that causes the most problems.
  3. And Casas seems like a disciplined guy based on his offensive approach. I agree he should improve.
  4. Nothing. It's just that I've been harping on Masa's fWAR, and that's one of the reasons it's only 1.0. To me it's total value that matters.
  5. The very best thing for long term success would have been to tank like the Cubs and Astros did. Would have you have approved of that?
  6. Damon had an fWAR of 4.3 in 2004. Masa's 2023 fWAR is 1.0. Damon's speed and baserunning were a big plus. Masa's are a big minus.
  7. True, but pitchers also seem to be getting injured at a higher rate due to the increased velocity and spin rates.
  8. Not sure bigger and stronger automatically translates to better at baseball. And the 2023 Red Sox are putting on a clinic in baseball gaffes, no? Maybe the "lack of attention to fundamentals" is a real thing now.
  9. What I say is, if you're gonna put together half-ass "competitive teams" and toss in the towel at the deadline when you're 2 or 3 games out, you might as well just tank entire seasons.
  10. Not solely, man. Our offense and defense aren't exactly elite.
  11. August OPS down to .619. fWAR down to 1.0. 24 K's and 3 walks since July 1. Sorry, Dipre, but this is not looking good.
  12. Because of increased pitching velocity and spin rates, I assume?
  13. Looks like he missed a couple weeks in April and that's it. Yes, the story was that the Rays matched the Red Sox offer and Eflin took it because he preferred to play in Tampa. We'll never know if Bloom had a chance to bump his offer. The bottom line is, all we got was Kluber.
  14. You may have caught the recent story about Eagles fans doing the wave while an injured player for the other team was being carted off the field. It's stories like this that contribute to the legend of Philly sports fans obnoxiousness/stupidity.
  15. Yeah, we'd have to eat money in the deal.
  16. 2024: Devers to 1B Yoshida to DH Sign Matt Chapman for 3B (notin's suggestion) Casas? Hmmm...now I'm stumped.
  17. His fWAR is down to 1.0.
  18. Eflin isn't injured. Are you mixing him with Eovaldi?
  19. Odds should be even better after last night.
  20. What you're saying is that you don't really know that it's watered-down, because it's impossible to make comparisons between eras.
  21. The Red Sox were stocked with stars in the years from 1975 to 1979, no question, but after that not so much. What about the 2003-2008 Sox teams? Plenty of stars, 2 titles, 4 times to the 7th game of the ALCS.
  22. Shall we check in with Vegas on that? Looks like a bet on the Sox to make the playoffs is paying off at 5.5 up to 6.3 to 1. https://www.vegasinsider.com/mlb/odds/playoff-prop/
  23. Have Red Sox fans seen a watered-down product in Boston uniforms over the last 20 years? Do we have to list all the names of great and good players we've had?
  24. How many of those did better than Kluber?
  25. Probably because the Mariners also swept.
