IMO, we should offer him a 3 year extension, max. Raise the AAV if necessary.
-
!!!

Amen, Brother Slash.

IMO, the Sox really screwed the pooch with Swihart's development. He at one time had such a high ceiling. Personally, I am not opposed to keeping him on the team, along with Vaz and Leon. I realize that our current roster doesn't really allow for that unless there's an injury. The other problem seems to be that Cora is reluctant to give him much playing time.
-
I completely agree on both counts. While I think Vaz would get the best return, I really hope that neither he or Leon is traded.
-
I have no problem with roster expansions. What I have a problem with is the 35 relievers that come into the game once rosters are expanded. Having a 3 batter minimum for each pitcher would alleviate that problem.
-
I do not disagree with that. Shifts are also supported by analytics, and I'm not a big fan of those either.
-
I agree that none of the 3 are untouchable. I think the one that goes is the one that Dombrowski gets the best deal for.
-
I like this idea as well.
-
IMO, both batting average and slugging percentage could be considered an average or a percentage.
-
As I just posted, I don't really like the idea of an opener. I'd rather have the starter start the game.
-
That would put the team in a hairy situation, not unlike the one that we have now with Swihart.
-
I am not really a fan of the Opener, but your plan looks fine, assuming the 'starter' can goes 6 innings. Personally, I'd rather see the scheduled starter start the game.
-
Very early returns on our starting pitchers, particularly Sale and Price, are very good.
-
The same can be said about having the skills to play baseball and knowing what it takes to assess, manage, or build a team.
-
FTR, my kids were both delivered by a male OB/GYN.
-
It seems to be picking up steam already.
-
The term 'ace' is extremely subjective. I don't argue that. I don't even have my own set criteria or definition for it. I am just saying that with my feeling or interpretation of what an ace is, there aren't that many.
-
I do not disagree with this.
-
Well I did make the point previously that if you had a person who has both the experience as a player and the background in analytics, that he/she would probably be your best choice. This is an either/or decision.
-
I do remember reading that recently Oldtimer, that Dombrowski was looking to trade Swihart or Vazquez, though he didn't specifically say "not Leon".
-
^^This. It could be that Swihart ends up being very good defensively behind the plate, but he just hasn't had enough playing time to know for sure. I would not mess with the Vaz/Leon duo.
-
I get that. I can see someone starting the season on the DL.
-
I completely agree.
-
I don't know. I guess because he's picking one player over the rest of his teammates? I personally don't see anything wrong with it, but I could see how it could create some backlash.
