  1. 1. Mike Lowell scored 6 runs- one more than the starting 4 pitchers let up. 2. Mike Lowell 3. Mike Lowell
  2. If it's $50M, we can sign one major SP'er and have "the rest" for Duvall and Wacha.
  3. Name the top 5 pitching fWAR leaders for the Sox since 2004: Who are the top 3 WHIP leaders with 220+ IP? (Hint: 2 are RP'ers.)
  4. It's Papi for fWAR and HRS&RBI. Pedey was a close second on fWAR. AGon is the BA leader at .321 (1242 PAs). Pedey second at .310.
  5. I saw later that JD led in '18.
  6. Sox decline Joely's $4.5M option and pay the $500K buyout. Sox outright Justin Garza. Turner declines player option.
  7. RIP Dick Drago He was a big part of our '78 and '79 teams: 143 ERA+ in 166 IP, almost all in relief over those two seasons. 3.29 FIP (Only a 5.9 K/9 rate, but the guy was good at getting outs.)
  8. Here is one: It's been 20 years since our 2004 championship. Who leads the Sox in these categories over the past 20 years (1,000+ PAs?) OPS (He led in OBP & SLG): HRs & RBI (same guy): BA: SB: fWAR: (Hint: 4 different names if 5 slots.)
  9. Without looking... '04 Manny (or Damon) '07 Papi '13 Pedey '18 Betts
  10. That might come close to the estimated $49M we have to spend and stay below the tax line. We could go over by signing Duvall and Wacha, and maybe stay under the second line. That would leave us with this: SP: Yamamoto, Montgomery, Bello, Wacha, Pivetta/Sale LR: Houck, Crawford, Whitlock, Pivetta/Murphy SR: Jansen, Martin, Winckowski, Schreiber, (Murphy/Bernardino/Mata, who is out of options) 1. Duran/Refsnyder LF 2. Devers 3B 3. Story SS 4. Casas 1B 5. Duvall CF/RF 6. Yoshida DH 7. Dugo RF/Rafaela CF/Abreu CF/RF 8. Urias/Reyes 2B 9. Wong/McGuire C
  11. I'd rather do that than sign just one and spend the rest on Duvall and a 2Bman or Wacha.
  12. I see Montgomery and ERod as the bargains on this list. I'd prefer the Yamamoto deal to the Nola one. I would not pay that for Stroman. Bellinger (LHB) would certainly mean we trade Dugo. I'd prefer Duvall on a shorter, less expensive contract. $14M for Tim Anderson seems steep, even if we trade or non tender Urias and his $5M estimated contract. Ryu is too similar to Kluber and Richards. Merrifield will be 35, has an OPS+ of 92 since '21, and is not the defender he used to be.
  13. I rarely do, when it comes to Sox winters.
  14. At least Cease has 2 years of control (2 arbs,) but unless we can extend him, I'm not sure I'd like giving up 2 pitchers with 4+ years of control, each. I'd prefer giving Yorke plus Houck or Kutter.
  15. I'm hoping we trade for Cease or Burnes (if extended) and also a major signing or Yamamoto, Gray, Snell, Nola or Montgomery. I doubt I get what I want.
  16. Maybe he wants to impress the Cardinals and move up in their system.
  17. 548 Schmidt (15 players have more HRs, but not with one team.) 536 Mantle 521 Williams Aaron has the most for one team (733 with the Braves), but not all with one team.
  18. I thought of Killebrew, too. I don't remember him finishing his career with KC.
  19. What are the odds the Sox sign one from: Yamamoto Nola Gray Snell I'd say 15-20%. How about one from: Yamamoto, Nola, Gray, Snell Montgomery, ERod, Morton (1 year) (I'd say 40-50%.) How about one from the above list plus another from the above list plus Wacha, Giolito or Stroman? (I'd say about 25-33%.)
  20. Mike Schmidt?
  21. Aaron. It was the same team- just different cities. (733 w ATL has to be the most, if you co0unt them as different teams.)
  22. MLBTR reports.... Justin Turner is “atop [the Diamondbacks’] wish list” this offseason, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes. It isn’t any surprise that the D’Backs would be in pursuit of Turner, as the team also had interest in the veteran infielder last winter, and Turner’s stock is quite high after a successful year with the Red Sox.
  23. MLBTR reports.... “There are rumblings” that former Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom might land with the Cardinals in an advisor role, Peter Gammons reports (on X). Not much had been heard about Bloom’s potential next step after he was fired by the Sox in September, before Gammons’ item and today’s news that Bloom turned down overtures from the Marlins about their front office vacancy. An advisory job would be an interesting way of Bloom to keep a foothold in baseball without committing to another full-time post, as Gammons notes that Bloom is prioritizing time with his family.
  24. 762 Barry Bonds 586 SFG/176 PIT 755 Aaron 755 with the Braves (733 ATL & 22 MIL) 714 Ruth 659 NYY 49 BOS 6 BSN
