Those projections seem pretty reasonable.

When did he become Strange-Gordon?
-
Yes, it's Pedey Respect.
-
fWAR Lester 2018 2.0 2019 2.8 2020 0.3 Perez 2018 -0.1 2019 1.9 2020 0.4 If he's better, it isn't by much.
-
As it turns out, Perez's option was actually for $6.85 million instead of $6.25 million, because of some escalators for innings that he hit - on a pro-rated basis, of course.
-
Harm, there will be a fairly long list of possibilities when all is said and done. Charlie Morton, Jon Lester, Rick Porcello have been mentioned. And as others have said, Perez could still be signed as a free agent.
-
Great job, in fact.
-
"Already danced once" - what does that mean in this context? Cora would still be Red Sox manager if not for his suspension, which of course had nothing to do with his management of the Red Sox.
-
"Integrative baseball performance" sounds like it came out of a random word generator. It looks even longer next to his short little real name.
-
I don't have the answer, but Bloom has shown himself to be a patient and meticulous fellow, as in the Mookie trade. -
To me it says there's still a huge amount of certainty about COVID-19, which there is.
-
But as you've suggested, there's not much point in us signing players to only one-year deals. And some other teams will feel the same.
-
Some players will be more than happy to accept multi-year deals, I think.
-
I don't understand any of it either LOL
-
There is really no doubt who is the single individual most responsible for Mookie Betts's departure. It's Mookie Betts. He's too darn good at baseball. If he was only, say, 10% less good, we would have been able to re-sign him. (Just trying for a little humor.)
-
Sorry if it sounded that way, but I didn't mean to hold you to it. I was just looking for clarification.

Moneyball and the mechanization and computerization of MLB
Bellhorn04 replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Other Baseball
Say it's the ninth inning and you have a one-run lead. You have 5 pitchers available in the bullpen, one of whom is your closer - let's say he's been pitching nearly as well as 2013 Koji - and the other 4 are mediocre. What is the countereffect of using your closer, as logic would dictate? -

And yet analytics seems to dictate frequent pitching changes. It's no wonder this stuff gets confusing. -
Personally, I'm fine with cleaning up after the party. We survived 2014 and 2015. We survived 2019 and 2020, and we'll survive 2021 if necessary.
-
As for all the talent DD traded away, I know we've been over this a few times, but the fact is that we don't know if any of that talent would have made much difference to our present situation. Only one of those players has had a season with an fWAR higher than 2.1. That was Moncada in 2019.
-
Also, prior to trading Mookie and Price, we still had a pretty big contingent left from the 2018 team.
-
All extraneous to the issue of keeping Mookie or not.
-
Oh, I know. But it ignores the crucial facts of the Mookie situation. Uppermost being that Mookie turned down $300 million from us, and then signed for not a whole lot more than that.
-
Yes, I was a little surprised Kimmi said they'd have to win the Small Sample Crapshoot.
-
We don't really know how many guys were enhanced in those days, though. We probably don't want to know.
