Maybe the guy on OTM hit the nail on the head. Maybe Henry and Bloom have a pact that Bloom gets 5 years to bring a plan to fruition. But of course they can't tell the fans that. It would explain a few things.
-
Just trying to convert it to a rate stat.
-
Over the last 3 seasons, 2021-2023, he has an accumulated fWAR of 4.3 in 320 innings. If we use 160 innings as a full season, that's 2.15 fWAR per season. That's a tick above average, a solid #3 starter.
-
Let me ask you this: how does Wacha have an fWAR of 1.7? Is it a meaningless metric?
-
Sounds like we have 2 bets for funsies now. 1. JD Martinez vs. Turner in fWAR 2. Wacha FIP/ERA+/injury
-
I'd be comforted if I thought Bloom actually does have a 5 year plan, one that has a chance of working, at least.
-
There have been a lot of defensive clown shows since Bloom took over. Generally speaking, they've moved from the outfield to the infield.
-
True, but as far as the rotation concerned, Bloom seems to be building a bridge to nowhere. He's going to have to make a big trade or a risky signing at some point...assuming he's around to do so.
-
That was sarcasm by me.
-
The bargain guys who do well are only with us for one season, so that can be questioned too.
-
I don't think we have many allowing 1 run, either.
-
I had a sense we were in big trouble in the run prevention department the last few weeks of spring games. We were giving up 5-6 runs or more every single game.
-
When Bloom signed him last year it was noted that Wacha finished 2021 strongly after making a change in his pitch mix.
-
Sale extension has been a disaster. OTOH Kluber isn't doing much to make the bargain bin strategy look good.
-
After last night Wacha has a 3.52 FIP and a 1.7 fWAR. The metrics say he's pitching well, not just lucky.
-
Why can't we afford guys like that?
-
Another lucky game for Wacha last night, Red.
-
The more you look back on it, the more you realize that Duquette really set up the Sox great run after he was gone.
-
We only trade Paxton if we're out of it, right?
-
Don't you think Steve would be wised up by the lack of results from his massive spending spree so far?
-
I don't think John has an inner Cohen.
-
True, but we're still talking about the low end of the price spectrum. And Bloom must have seen enough that was encouraging in how Wacha finished in 2021.
-
Money has to come from somewhere!
-
And maybe most importantly, gamblers aren't getting smarter.
-
Kind of a problem, too.
