    It's a new one. I assume higher on the list is better LOL.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Sure. It's just a conglomeration of other numbers. How much emphasis is placed on each number is where the differences in the systems come in. As long as they stay consistent with their calculations, you sort of have an idea what you're looking at. WAR is being very good to Rafaela. It's showing that even though he's been a below average hitter, he's been a well above average player.

    Or viewing licenses for units overlooking the park.

    Your post was good until the obligatory Cora crucifixion part, which once again seems totally gratuitous. You're criticizing for batting Abreu higher in the order than Rafaela?
  5. Bellhorn04
    Cashman must have the lifetime deal, with only 1 title in his last 24 years as CBO.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Did OK against them in 2018 and 2021 postseason though.
  7. Bellhorn04
    All else being equal, which of course it never is, Top 12 is the hypothetical cutoff point for making the playoffs - or Top 6 in the AL might be more relevant.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Top 15? That's an interesting cutoff point.
  9. Bellhorn04
    True. I will modify. Breslow seems pretty decisive. He has pulled some triggers. Not always with favorable outcomes, but I like that he's aggressive.
  10. Bellhorn04
    He's one guy I'm quietly crossing fingers on. Seems to have an A+ attitude. Here is where the Sox hitting coaches need to show us if they're any good or not.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Is Cora also to blame for Rafaela's recent red hot streak?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Breslow seems much more decisive than Bloom.
  13. Bellhorn04
    iortiz sometimes uses different words, but I always know what he means.
  14. Bellhorn04
    If Brez makes this trade it's to get Anthony in the lineup, so it doesn't really fit the profile of a deadline trade. More like something that could happen very soon or not at all.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'm not a fan of the 'just the #9 hitter' argument, pretty sure I've never used it.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Somebody has to ask this one: Was trading Priester a great idea? His peripherals are unimpressive but he's been getting guys out, with several decent appearances in a row.
  17. Bellhorn04
    At this moment in the history of the universe, it feels like Abreu is the guy we would prefer to trade. But it's not a surprise there's some significant interest in Duran right now.
  18. Bellhorn04
    OK. Little Raf's fWAR is at 1.7. That projects to about 4 for the season. So both systems have him way above average. I think he's showing he has the game to be the full time CFer going forward. But yeah, that's predicated on him being able to keep the OPS around .675-.700.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Does bWAR mean anything? Rafaela's is now 2.4, on pace to be over 5.

    IMHO the issue was the new direction Henry wanted to go in, plain and simple.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The unresolved question is exactly why Henry fired him. There were reports that they were not seeing eye to eye on the direction of the team, which to me suggests that Henry had revealed he wanted to cut payroll. We do know now that DD had talks with other teams about trading Mookie at the 2019 deadline, but they called it off when the Sox had a little good streak that raised hopes.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Those were a while ago. Not sure he'd be up for doing that sort of thing again. He seems to have gotten exactly what he wanted with the Phillies.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Is the talk about making Little Raf a super-sub on hold for the time being? 😀
  24. Bellhorn04
    Of course. Firing DD and cutting payroll "went hand in hand". The only argument is that Henry should have done neither. You're not going to find anyone arguing that they should have kept DD and cut payroll. That's a contradiction in terms.
  25. Bellhorn04
    This is why baseball is a weird game. They're 41-22, but people question if they're actually that good. Pythagoras says they should be (checks notes) 41-22.
