How many pitscher are ranked in their top 50 and 100, all teams?
-
I knew. I know.
-
I though Refsnyder fit that role, or we could play Yoshida in LF vs LHPs. Or, we could play Abreu, more often. Maybe the plan is Duran in CF FT. It also forces O'Neill to play RF, more often.
-
I thought we were showing signes of improving our outfield. 4.7 fWAR in '21 (23rd) 0.7 fWAR in '22 (27th) 8.4 fWAR in '23 (12th) .724 in '21 .676 in '22 .783 in '23 Outs Above Average -1 in '21 (14th) -14th in '22 (24th) -12 in '23 (26th) Our 2023 OF PAs/OPS as OF'er only: 598 Dugo .743 (+1 OAA) 368 Yoshida .832 (-8 OAA) 345 Duran .823 (0 OAA) 331 Duvall .855 (-3 OAA) 206 Refsnyder .697 (-3 OAA)

Another LF'er, but this one can't hit or defend. Other than that, he's okay.
-
He did for us, too, in small spurts.
-
BA dropped our system ranking from 5th to 13th. Not sure why.
-
I never ate an avocado until my late 20's. Same with Indian or Vietnamese food. -
They've ranked prospects higher with less games played, so maybe it is the position doubts. If he hits like that to start 2024 and gets promoted to AAA, I'm thinking the mid season rankings will jump him higher. Several rankings have Anthony higher and Rafaela lower. I know every team has recent grads, too, but I'm really liking our young 7: Casas Bello Anthony Mayer Teels Rafaela Bleis (I'm also higher on Abreu than others seem to be.) We have a bunch of other exciting ot promising players in the 24-28 range: Devers Crawford Houck Wink Whitlock Duran Wong EValdez That's a pretty nice 14-15 group of young players and prospects. We just need a couple aces to carry them to glory.

Imagine if the Sox signed Brasier to $9M/2. That seems worse than Diekman's $8M/2, but at least we dumped over half his contract and got a decent back-up catcher in the deal.
-
Man, those are some long deals! Is Casas worthy of a 9+ year deal? Bello?
-
Isn't kershaw out until June>?
-
Pretty high on Mayer and Rafaela. 5 in the top 90 is real nice, although still no pitchers. Law has been known to downgrade the Sox, so this is encouraging.
-
Thanks for the updates. Did I miss anyone significant? (I know I list some that aren't.)
-
Indeed, and in Foulke's case, he had pitched more innings in a previous season and near or over 80 high leverage IP, numerous times before 2004.
-
There has been significant turnover on the pitching staff and farm staff, but not enough at the top of the rotation. Here is an incomplete list of pitchers lost and gained since the end of 2023: Lost: IP/ERA Paxton 96/4.50 Sale 103/4.30 Kluber 55/7.04 Bleier 31/5.28 Llovera 30/5.46 K. Ort 23/6.26 Brasier 21/7.29 Garza 18/7.36 Robertson 12/6.00 Joel Rod. 11/6.55 Bearclaw 8/12.91 Sheriff 7/2.70 Dermody 4/6.75 T Scott 4/4.91 Littell 3/9.00 Faria 2/22.50 Lamet 2/13.50 S Drohan V Santos Brock Bell, Jose Ramirez, Railin Perez, Ryan Miller, R Ammons To DFA or stay in AAA? Jacques 27/5.06 Added: Giolito I Campbell J Slaten C Criswell R Fitts G Weissert J Benitez H Olivarez N Judice C Zink (Added to 40: Wikelman & Perales: doubtful either will see MLB in '24.)
-
We also seem to have some decent role players: O'Neill, Abreu, Rafaela, Reyes, Wong/McGuire and platoon Ref. It's all on the rotation.
-
That's all we got, right now: hope. We need a 2013 type confluence of good luck, good health and some career years mixed in. We have 6 pitchers who have some hope as starters. All but maybe Whitlock have some pretty long stretches of pitching like a solid #2 or #3. They pretty much all have to gel at once, and for longer stretches than ever before. (Gio excepted- he's had some good full seasons.)
-
That is certainly the main reason we can't get over the hump, or even to the top of the hump. We keep "putting it off" another year and snow-jobbing the fans into thinking an effort is being made.

I live in Sugar Land, TX. I lived in Maine from '71 to '04.
-
Yes. It was astoundingly great. Eye Test: Gold Glove quality UZR/150: 2nd to G Henderson at +12.8 DRS: 7th but kille everyone in DRS per Inning 8 in 314 innings 10 in 585 Gunnar 16 in 948 Franco 18 in 1279 Swanson Outs Above Average: same thing. He blew everyone away in OAA per inning. He finished 8th at +8 while playing 1/3 to 1/4 the innings. He was incredible.

You guys say we are obsessed, when you obviously can't live without it. Let it go, guys.
-
I thought the site was doing a little better without Red & I going at it, nonstop, but it's like these guys are egging us on.
-
Crazy weather, every where. We were below 20 a couple weeks ago and just had a week straight over 70.
-
The post was about D. Yes, Story has been below average in batting, when he has played over the past two years, but over his career- no. Even going by just the last 3 years, among the 29 SSs with 700+ PAs, Story placed 8th in OPS at .770.
