Like the one Jeter used to carry to 1B with him? http://www.mrdestructo.com/2009/02/barry-bonds-alex-rodriguez-and.html -
The whole idea that 98% of playable hits are turned into outs is hilarious.
-
This is sooooo 2023 Soxish.
-
A perfect example, and no error charged! Yet, the gloss overs continue.
-
Damn! I was hoping 5 more years of Cash & Boone.
-
Some SSs make over 100 more plays than others in the same amount of innings. Maybe some is due to playing behind more GB pitchers. Maybe some is superior range- making outs where most allow hits.
-
I get it and admitted it. I amended the list and acknowledged yours. What more do I need to do?
-
Where do I gloss over what you day I do. OAA shows some of our closest competitors made 45-65 more outs on D than we did. Again, that is no where near the influence pitching and hitting has on wins and losses, and I guess I need to repeat that 100 more times, so you’ll stop accusing me of glossing over what we agree on. 60 outs not made is like 60 more hits allowed by our pitching or 60 less hits by our batters. That is clearly enough to make a significant difference, yet you keep choosing to gloss over that effect. Take away 60 hits from our offense and our BA goes from.264 to .251. that’s going from 3rd to 15th! Who is glossing over things, here?
-
The list looks worse that I thought.
-
fWAR also includes baserunning and positional adjustments based on the value each position has. I don’t see and of the right side numbers out of whack, comparatively speaking.
-
It was not the cosmos: it was a butterfly in Michoacan.
-
BAL benefited from tanking for so many years. The Astros did, too, but they figured out a way to keep the window open, longer.
-
Looking at our top prospects list from 2015-2019, I'm not sure exactly who was called up after Devers in summer 2017, maybe.... Chavis STravis Shawaryn Beeks DHern Lakins maybe more...
-
Good point. Some came up and fizzled and Beeks & Buttrey were traded. Did I miss any more?
-
Here are some fWAR numbers of Sox players and JD FWAR Player (Off/Def) 2.6 Dugo (+6.0/+1.8) 2.6 Devers (+11.9/-5.1) 2.4 Duvall (+15.9/-1.6) 2.3 Duran (+13.3/-3.1) 1.8 Turner (+15.4/-14.1, some at 1B & 3B) 1.6 Casas (+15.4/-14.8) 1.4 JD Mart (+10.1/-9.7, almost all at DH) 1.0 Yoshida (+7.8/-14.8)

Certainly several teams have way more homegrown stars than we do. It's one of the key reasons I don't blame Bloom for our record from 2020-2022. It's really hard to consistently win with next to nobody being called up for 4 straight years. When you see teams like TBR, ATL, LAD and BAL calling up 2-3 some years, it really puts our situation in context. I do see a change beginning, and a lot of hopes that it will be steady, going forward. 2017: Devers 2018: none 2019: none 2020: none 2021: Houck & Whitlock 2022: Bello, Duran, Wong, Crawford & Wink 2023: Casas, Abreu, Rafaela, Murphy, Walter, EValdez, DHam & Bernardino, if you count old prospects. Of course, these guys aren't Arozerena or McClanahan, but change usually comes slowly, and I see an uptick in quality and quantity over the past 2 summers.
-
It's a bit confusing.
-
The Sox need more teams like the Angels to improve on our playoff odds.
-
Maybe this is payback for us facing PIT when they were on fire.
-
So is him gaining 1.0 dWAR in 3 games: -1.8 ad DH full time -0.8 at DH for all but 3 games.
-
So, if this is about bWAR, Yoshida at DH (-1.8) will have a lower bWAR than if he stays in LF (-1.4 in 2023?)
-
When people agree, not much communication is needed.
-
Correct!
-
We have been "lousy,"for the stretch from Devers in 2017 to this season, but that might be turning around BTW, from 2017 to today, we were developing Casas, Bello, Devers, Rafaela and others.
-
Indeed. His legacy is a great one. Almost all the prospects he traded away underperformed expectation. Only a small few of the players he traded for underperformed. He was not the one that put the brakes on spending and trading prospects, so he should not be "blamed" for 2019.
