I guess you can add Kershaw to the list now. And it's worth noting, Kershaw almost didn't get the chance for redemption this year. If the Dodgers didn't come back from 3-1 against the Braves, Kershaw would have been wearing some of it again. One thing about both Price and Kershaw is this: they got a lot of chances to turn things around!
-
If he can come back and make 15 starts or so, feel healthy and resemble his former self, I'll take it 100%. -
Copied from another thread here: @SmittyOnMLB Boston Red Sox’s Chris Sale projected for 2.97 ERA, 17 starts, 94 innings in 2021 in return from Tommy John surgery, per Bill James Handbook Sure, why not?

I happen to agree that there are a lot of psychological factors at work in pro athletes, and the proliferation of sports psychologists tends to confirm it. But the impact of these factors on actual performance is probably very erratic and virtually impossible to quantify. You have to avoid assumptions and generalizations. And the average sports fan loves assumptions and generalizations.

He's got bad numbers in Fenway too though LOL So did John Lackey before we signed him, I think.
-
He gave up 11 HR in YS and 3 on the road. Seems like he got Porched.
-
I'm calling shenanigans on Jax's post about Gray. I don't think he said anything about wilting. He said they wanted him to throw too many sliders or something like that. That said, Gray's home/road splits in 2018 were rather bizarre.
-
Yes, by multiple sources LOL
-
That was meant as a semi-compliment. I have my own obsession with baseball minutiae, but for some reason it's restricted to what happens in MLB games.
-
This might require some looking into. What I read was that Gray was unhappy about the Yankees pitching coaches altering his pitch mix.
-
Like it says there, triple-digits heat, 11.1 K/9. Lottery ticket, right?
-
I'm not sure we can rely on such neat before-and-after-end-of-COVID scenarios. The fact that the vaccine seems to be close has helped push the DJIA to the 30,000 mark. Teams might be a little more willing to spend than we were thinking earlier. The fact that Charlie Morton got $15 million tends to support that.
-
You guys amaze me with your interest in the roster minutiae.
-
A Clint Eastwood favorite.
-
Another thing that concerns me about Snell is the Trop Dump effect. His road ERA is about 1.5 runs higher and his road OPS is about 100 points higher. It's like the Coors Field effect in reverse...
-
Yes, when's he going to sign some relievers?
-
Compared to what, though? The last two offseasons were glacially slow.
-
Yeah, agreed.
-
Ricardo Gibbon (Venezuelan Yankee beat writer?) suggests Kluber is close to signing with Yankees.
-
Archie Bradley was non-tendered.
-
As you know, Flaherty has a significantly higher trade value than Snell, for various reasons. I might consider that one. But I don't like the Snell trade at all. I just don't think he's good enough to justify it.
-
Depends on what prospect capital Arizona would be willing to add to make up that -50 on Bum's contract.
-
A lot of present and past Red Sox on that list.
-
Personally I'm a big fan of trade ideas like the one for Bumgarner and prospects. Do that one and sign Kluber, and our starting rotation will be loaded with question marks, but at least there will be potential!
-
I don't like the idea of trading 3 of our best prospects for a guy who has only one season with an fWAR higher than 2.7.
