  1. And there is some merit in that argument. But you would need to parse a lot of numbers to show exactly how much merit.
  2. I should add, the AL East has the top net run differential of the 3 AL divisions. Not surprisingly, the NL West the best in MLB.
  3. You say 2:1 platoon ratio like there are other platoon ratios.
  4. Our cold hearted Talksox GM's would trade anybody plus their own dog. I'm kidding, but these statements of 'trade anybody' always make me chuckle. Chaim Bloom would probably say the same thing. But he would also say that when you trade a player like Devers, or Mookie Betts, you might win it, but there's also an excellent chance you're going to lose it.
  5. There's a pile of randomness involved. Here's something that might be more pertinent: The AL East has 4 teams with positive run differential. The AL West has 2 teams with positive run differential.
  6. Missed calls by the ump are deserved?
  7. Gameday says that was ball four and not close. Robot umps now.
  8. Absolutely correct. But if we're going to talk about Xander's market value, we have to refer to something, no? It could be that we'll see some reductions in spending by teams, but I've been expecting that for a long time and it hasn't happened yet. The deals given to Tatis and Lindor suggest that teams aren't freaking out about the future just yet...
  9. Lots to unpack here! -The stat nerd sites like FanGraphs and BTV all indicate that Xander is underpaid at $20 million. -Who out there would give him big bucks? Well, the Angels gave Rendon 7 years at $35 million a year. -My guess is that the vast majority of Red Sox fans would prefer not to trade him. -The charge here to trade him is being led by moon. moon is a huge proponent of defense, especially SS defense, and is also concerned about Xander opting out after next year.
  10. Feltman's Worcester numbers are solid. 20 IP 14 H 4 BB 21 K
  11. Shaw - what a pro he has been.
  12. I have to agree. If you'll trade Mookie Betts, you'll trade anyone.
  13. I didn't realize until looking it up how bad his splits are this year. 935-526. Yikes.
  14. Again you dodge the question. You're a coward and a troll.
  15. Right you are. Why do you think Verdugo didn't start last night? I was surprised to see him not start 2 games in a row, even against lefty starters.
  16. Verdugo has not started the last 3 games. Which suggests to me that Cora is placing a higher priority on defense.
  17. Richards - Bloom might decline the team option and then try to sign him for less, like he did with Perez?
  18. Your pitching staff is in awful shape though. Britton out for season, Loaisiga out, Chapman a shell of his old self. Taillon out. Kluber not 100% back. Severino not coming back. Monty dreadful last night. Gil dreadful last start. Heaney dreadful every time LOL
  19. You liked that signing, except for the 4th year, correct?
  20. Do you even have a baseball team, STORK? Or do you just go around trolling fan sites to get yer jollies?
  21. Holy Dripping Sarcasm, Batman.
  22. Right. Even so, it's a little unusual for a hitter with Verdugo's numbers to sit two games in a row. It suggests they may be prioritizing defense a little more.
  23. Second game in a row Verdugo not in starting lineup. Mean anything?
