Time For the Hypo Trade Talks to Begin ?
Bellhorn04 replied to vegasbob's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
An even better comp for Sale's current contract might be Lackey. -
I would hope so.
-
You're a beacon of light, Kimmi. I mean that. Don't ever leave us.
-
Absolutely, but I think it's been proven that hitting better with men on base is one of those "unrepeatable skills" - it's a random variance.
-
That was just one of my little wisecracks. It struck me funny that moon said he's "still" hopeful about 2023, here in July 2022 with so much to unfold between now and then. I'm hopeful about 2023, absolutely.
-
You think JD will make more than Schwarb in 2023?
-
Schwarbs is hitting .202 now. Will anyone still bemoan his absence if he dips below Mendoza?
-
True, but the hardcore Schwarber over JDM people have actually argued the Sox could have traded JD, eating salary, and then signed Schwarb. Obviously making Schwarb even more expensive.
-
I believe that even people who are in sell mode, outside of Fellowship of the Miserable types, want the Sox to win every time they step on the field.
-
I'm siding with Cora on this one.
-
2022 vs. RHP Refsnyder .733 Bradley .622 Career vs. RHP Refsnyder .605 Given the likelihood of regression, I don't think there's enough to justify Ref simply replacing Bradley as full time RF.
-
I think it's only in the last week or two that people have started to ask why Ref isn't in the lineup more. Verdugo's OPS for June was .905. Duran's OPS on July 6 was .900. When would you have started bumping these guys in favor of Ref?
-
He's only been with the team since June 10, or about 6 weeks, aside from 3 games in April. Aside from that, you'd have to go through each game and see who he was playing instead of.
-
Did you see notin's post above?
-
Exactly - we don't know if there are inner problems or not. When teams are going this bad we tend to start looking for those inner problems...
-
Cordero has a .411 OPS in July with 30 K's and 3 walks, and is a bad fielder.
-
About the only thing I can say is I'd rather see Refsnyder than Cordero at this point, if we're still trying to win games. Cordero DH'd in Saturday's game and played LF yesterday.
-
I'm going to do my best to follow your advice starting today. Let's see how I do.
-
He gets mentioned plenty on the game threads.
-
Yes.
-
When I talk about a fire sale I'm only talking about expiring contracts. The team is not only decimated by injuries, but Eovaldi and Pivetta have looked terrible in recent starts. I'm not seeing the silver linings anywhere.
-
I don't like trolls coming in here, attacking other posters and getting a free pass for it.
-
What's in the works?
-
Hugh, the team is decimated by injuries, we just went 4-13 against AL East teams and a fire sale looks like it makes the most sense. There's plenty of baseball left, but it doesn't look like it's going to be good baseball for the Red Sox.
-
So you're using the argument that because good individual players don't guarantee team success, you don't actually need good players? Max, I know it's been a rough season, but don't let it drag you all the way down.
