He has never been slotted number 1. 40 times at #4 35 #2 16 #3 16 #5 12 #6

Okay, but you are basing your opinion on him based on June 1>> Not April 1>>> (okay, maybe a little) or August 28th>>> I just don't see why June 1 to now is any better indicator of what we can expect going forward as any other significant sample size chosen. I could be wrong, but you seem to seek the worst numbers you can find on him, and that is what you cite.
-
I understand, but the time frame you chose didn't just happen to be the worst by accident.
-
I'm with you on this.
-
Eventually, maybe not, but we can wait until we know we have a bottleneck or to make room on the roster in case we may lose a promising player to Rule 5. We don't have to wait, but we can.
-
Why is June 1st so important? Because it maximizes the point you want to make? Why not choose day one? Or since 8/28? .842 OPS (.342 OBP)

I said, after the Sox, and 7 years is a significant time period. I did not ignore anything. 510 PAs at .753 would be fine with me for Romero. I was very specific about my claim, yet you twist and turn and try everything and anything to dispute or move the goalposts. If you don't like my cherry-picked time frame, which was basically his entire career, after Boston, except his last 2, then move on. I never said he was a beacon of health. I just said I'd take 510 PAs at .753 from Romero for a 7 year stretch, but you won't even answer, if you would or not. You just obfuscate- something you excel at.

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

I stopped reading Tomase. -
Yes, 510 PAs from Romero for 7 years would be more than fine with me.
-
4 seasons w Sox 256 gams/920 PAs Next 7 years w OAK & HOU 853 gms/3572 PAs or 510 PAs per year at a .753 OPS I'll take that from Romero. You won't. OK.

Ooops

To me, he's done worse in this "fringy" area than I expected. For every Wacha, Hill, Duvall and Strahm, there are 2 Richards, Perez (twice), Kluber, Kike II and Diekmans. He's big on a few low cost guys like Schreiber, Refsnyder, Bernardino, Arroyo, Reyes, McGuire and others, but the long list of failures on those types of deals is scary, too, especially with RP'ers. His biggest signings look to be his worst, so that makes the lesser ones look better, I guess. Story Yoshida Richards Kluber Although Jansen at $8M x 2 looks good, if you call that "big."
-
I clearly was comparing him to the BOS Story. I like Story. I'd prefer him to Lowrie, but Lowrie was pretty good and not so injury prone, after he left BOS.
-
Yes, it can be done, for sure. Even they are not 100%, but they have added several that have done well or had mixed results. Ryu started 56 games during his 4 year contract (3.91 was not bad, though.) Kikuchi was at 5.19, last year in 20 GS and 12 RP games. His TOR ERA is 4.76- hardly a resounding success story. They gave up 2 prospects for Berrios, then extended him. He had a 5.23 ERA, last year in the first year of his extension. He has a 4.29 ERA with TOR- 4.43 on this contract. Bassitt and Gausman have been clear hits, so far.
-
With the record of big FA pitcher signing successes so poor, asking any GM to go 2 for 2 is significantly against the odds. Not impossible, though. One can flip heads two times in a row.
-
I don't think we have to trade prospects, like Mayer, to add two top pitchers, this winter, but it will have to mean JH is willing to outbid all others on 2 of the top 4-5 pitchers or 3 of the top 7-8. I'm not sure which is the longer shot: Big trade + big signing or Two big signings The odds are likely neither.
-
6.3 bWAR from 2021-2022 in just 269 games and 1042 PAs.
-
It's not a player option for $6M/1 it's $18.5/3 or about $6.1M x 3. Cots... 4 years/$26M (2023-26) signed by San Diego as a free agent 2/16/23 $3.5M signing bonus 23:$4M, 24-25: club option at $16M annually if club declines its 2024-25 option, Wacha has the right to exercise a player option for 3 years/$18.5M (24:$6.5M, 25:$6M, 26:$6M) performance bonuses for 2023 and any player option seasons: $500,000 each for 20, 25 games started. $1M for 30 GS But, yes, it seems like a good team contract and one I wish the Sox would have gotten Wacha for.
-
Really, we need 3, but I'd settle for 2 solid SP'er, most likely at a cost of $25M+, each or a major prospect trade and one $30M+ signing.
-
Could be, but having Jansen, Martin, Dugo and Sale in their last years, might be considered a good time to consider it year 1 of the "window." Devers, Story and others won't be any younger in 2025, either. I hope we try hard to win in 2024, too.
-
Not bad, but if it takes away from the quality of pitching, I'm fine with filling all our everyday slots from within the system.
-
Those two sure look like gold.
-
I didn't know that. Thanks.

It sure does look like you guys need to do something to appease the God of Health.
