Barnes is 6th! Price is 10th and Lester 11th.

It was Clay in '13

220+ IP since 1974 with the Sox. Which player is wrong on this list of our top xFIP- pitchers? 1. Sale 65 2. Uehara 68 3. Papelbon 72 4. Whitlock 81 5. Schilling 82 6. Barnes 84 7. Beckett 86 8. Tazawa 87 9. Eovaldi 87 10. Lester 87 (Note: Price was at 87, too.) Houck is at 11 with an 88. Wells is #13 at 89
-
Hint: it was in 2013.

I would guess Anderson would be a good defensive 2Bman, and he's only 30. He was really good from 2020-2021 (.871 OPS and 131 OPS+.) That blows Urias away. (Urias is 26, however.) However, in 2021: .806/109+ Anderson .789/112+ Urias 2021-2023: .707/94+ Anderson .748/106+ Urias At $14M/1, I'd pass on Anderson.

Yes, that is true. I always try to give lower level prospects, but I almost always give away more value that we get back, thinking maybe that might work. Most likely, it will not. It's hard to know how many GMs might really like someone like Bleis, Rafaela or Yorke- more than what BTV gives them. I do think, to get a major pitcher with 2+ years of control, we'd need to give up Mayer, Anthony or Teel. If you had to part with one of these top 3 prospect, which one would it be?
-
Indeed. We do have some valuable pieces other teams will give up a lot to get.
-
That seems about right. We don't really know how they value our players. I think BTV overvalues Yorke, but maybe the CWS like him a lot. Maybe they really like Houck or Crawford, too. When you see what was given for Castillo and Lopez, it is pretty steep.
-
Value wise, I'd prefer Urias and Reyes at about $6M total than either Anderson or Merrifield. Urias may do better than both, next season. Use the $9-14M to sign Duvall or Wacha.
-
Agreed. I mentioned that earlier. Why stop what was working?
-
Here is a tough one: Since 1974, only 30 times has a pitcher had 170+ IP in a season and an ERA- (fangarphs) or 54 or lower. Six of those times have been by Sox pitchers. 1. Pedro at 35 in '00 4. Pedro at 42 in '99 15. Clemens at 47 in '90 17. Pedro at 48 in '03 20. Pedro at 50 in '02 30. _____ at 54 for the Sox in ___? (Hint: it is not Pedro or Clemens, again.)
-
Spotrac has these numbers for "market value." they do not list Yamamoto. In $ millions 37 Kershaw 25 Nola 24 Urias (must not read the news) 24 Snell 20 ERod 20 Gray 18 Montgomery 18 Wacha 17 Morton 16 Stroman 14 Clevinger 12 Giolito 12 Severino 12 Maeda 11 Flaherty 10 Greinke, Lugo, Kluber 9 Cueto, Paxton, Hill, Loernzen, Gibson 8 Velazquez, Ryu, Miley, Lynn 7 Carrasco, ZDavies 6 Wood, Teheran 4 B Keller
-
I'd like to see us sign.... A) 1 from Yamamoto, Gray, Nola, Snell 1 from Montgomery, ERod, Morton 1 from Wacha or Giolito/Stroman at the right price. 2 from Gray, Snell, Montgomery, ERod & Morton Plus Wacha
-
fangraph's had his 2023 value at $8.3M in 2023 and $0.0 in 2022. He was paid $10M over the 2 years. Not a bargain, but not a total bust, either. (He had -$6M value in '22 and +$4.3 value in '23.)
-
1. Mike Lowell scored 6 runs- one more than the starting 4 pitchers let up. 2. Mike Lowell 3. Mike Lowell
-
If it's $50M, we can sign one major SP'er and have "the rest" for Duvall and Wacha.
-
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.)
-
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.
-
I saw later that JD led in '18.
-
Sox decline Joely's $4.5M option and pay the $500K buyout. Sox outright Justin Garza. Turner declines player option.
-
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.)
-
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.)
-
Without looking... '04 Manny (or Damon) '07 Papi '13 Pedey '18 Betts
-
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
-
I'd rather do that than sign just one and spend the rest on Duvall and a 2Bman or Wacha.
