Not to knock your team Harmony, but the Mariners are 8 games above their Pythagorean W-L record with a 23-10 record in one run games and a mere +22 run differential, as opposed to the Astros at +158. I'm thinking they've been a tad lucky. The Astros remain the team to beat. The rest of the division, while good, is nothing special.
-
That is crazy. I remember early in the season when the Jays were in 2nd place, many people had them contending.
-
Stop. Just stop.
-
It depends on what Hanley we're talking about. I would take the April Hanley over Kimbrel.
-
Maybe the contending teams don't need him? I think they are mostly set. At any rate, I have stated that Hanley is not the player that is going to make or break this team. So I'm not saying he is 'so valuable' to a championship run. Do I think he could help though? Absolutely. Why not wait until at least the deadline to DFA him? What's the harm? Oh yeah, the CYA thing with the option.
-
Cora actually spoke very highly of Hanley just a couple of days ago, saying that he was surprised that no team has grabbed him yet. Which kind of begs the question, why did we DFA him then? Oh yeah, the option....
-
Nope.
-
A team in contention this year should not be weakening the team, however slight, to benefit next year. Not when Hanley could have been DFA'd later in the season, if needed. And to answer your question, I'm not signing Kimbrel to a big contract.
-
Well, that's my point. This was a financial decision to benefit next season, not a baseball move to benefit this season.
-
How often do GMs DFA a player after one bad month, especially after a good month?
-
If Pedroia will be unable to return, then I'd tend to agree. As of now, I think we can afford to wait the situation out a little longer.

Rafael Devers struggles/triumphs and the future

This is a fair point about Errors, which are not the best defensive measurement. Devers' DRS is currently -4. Nunez' DRS is currently -10. Between them they have cost us roughly a game and a half defensively. That said, the team is winning at a very good clip. We can afford to be patient with Devers.
-
Good post Nick. This does not make me shudder.
-
I have absolutely no problems with our two catchers.
-
That is my opinion as well.
-
As you like to say, Boom.
-
Ah. Got it.
-
Nor would I.
-
IMO, this team does not really have a weakness that needs to be addressed, provided the team stays healthy. If Pedroia cannot return, I would look to upgrade at 2B.
-
10 years? Now is when we need that GIF of me shuddering.

Rafael Devers struggles/triumphs and the future
Kimmi replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Just returning the favor in kind. I don't know what makes you think your team has so much greater likelihood of winning the division than the Sox do. You are confident in your team. I am equally as confident in my team. It will be a tough race for the Sox, as it will be for the Yankees. Don't underestimate the Good Guys. -
I can't argue with any of that. All I've been saying is that he was DFA'd too soon. We all know that if he didn't have the option, he would not have been let go in May. Hanley was brutal in May, but he was pretty darn good in April. Don't you think it's possible that he was going to break out of the slump and be a decent right handed bat for this team? IMO, the FO made a move based on improving the financial situation for next year while likely weakening the team somewhat. That's not the type of decision to make when you are trying to win a pennant. At least wait until the deadline to see if Hanley could rebound.
-
The Sox are 14-1 in Christian Vazquez' last 15 starts.
-
Do you disagree that Devers was called up before he was ready?
