Porcello to innings is like a brontosaurus to tall, leafy trees.

Who Should the Sox Have Play 2B in 2020?
Bellhorn04 replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I honestly have no freaking idea. They could bring back Brock Holt for a season and I'd probably be happy with that. -
The thing about Porcello is he takes the ball every fifth day, and chomps innings. He has to be one of the most durable pitchers in the game over the last 20 years or more.
-
And it's an admirably specific complaint.
-
It's a little early to be thinking that way, no? They did exercise that rather expensive swellopt thing on Britton.
-
Norm Charlton was more generous than that to the Red Sox. His horrible season as closer for the Mariners in 1997 led to the Slocumb for Lowe and Varitek trade.

A pitcher's wins and losses should be looked at in a vacuum cleaner.

She calls him fungible when she gets mad at him.

I've still got some old school in me too. But I've come to realize that what the new schoolers say about W-L records is mostly true. Jacob DeGrom is a pretty good Exhibit A for it right now. Felix Hernandez was too, when he was King. Or if you want to go historical, just look at Blyleven and Ryan vs. Andy Pettitte.
-
And those are funny comments, but a little short on analytics.
-
W-L record is pretty far down on the list of stats people look at for pitchers now. It's so much a reflection of the teams you played on. Jacob DeGrom won back to back CYA's, and deservedly so, with a COMBINED record of 21-17 for 2 seasons. Gausman's peripherals suggest he's about a 3 WAR pitcher now. And 3 WAR on the free agent market has been worth over 20 million the last few seasons. It's a fair point about the depressed market. However, it's only a one-year commitment, and he might be in great demand at the trade deadline.

You know you want this.

No, it looks like a straight salary dump by a team in cost-cutting mode. Iglesias is due 9.125 million in the last year of his contract.

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

You don't have to worry about Springer. -
It's not that bad for a one year deal IMO. He's projected to be worth it. We gave Porcello 82.5 for 4 years, and he really wasn't that much better. Could be tradable at the deadline also.
-
There will likely be some more bullpen games in 2021.
-
I think he's maybe a little better than journeyman status, with an fWAR of 15.0 in roughly 6 seasons, and a projected 2021 fWAR of close to 3.
-
FWIW, in 2020 Porcello had an fWAR of 1.7 in 59 innings compared to 0.4 in 62 innings for Perez. FanGraphs always loves Porcello.
-
There has been no mention of the idea of moving Eovaldi to closer except on Talksox. If Bloom says something about it, I'll take it seriously.
-
Cora's 'history' with starters has nothing to do with how many innings Sale pitches. He'll be careful, obviously, just as every other manager would be. Nick is just using this to take another shot at Cora about Restgate.
-
And we want you to stop talking in gibberish, or just stop talking altogether. Can't always get what you want.
-
I don't feel like we're in hell, just purgatory...
-
I don't think that would be enough to get OCab gone-unless he was in the room at the time. These rumors are certainly more fun than "Theo's love affair with compensation picks"...
-
I thought of that too. I think the grand total was 100 million-ish. The others were 200 million-ish or more.
