Sounds like the Sox excuses when our starters were doing great. but we were still losing.
-
Nobody said he was a great runner. We compared him to the even slower runners on this team you thought would have been better. You also changed the subject on Vaz being the last catcher available. Just admit you were an idiot on that one, and stop moving the goalposts.
-
.288 and a .779 OPS since the trade- hardly Boggsish.
-
You'd rather we kept Workman and Hembree, instead of getting Pivetta and Seabold? BTW, you do know, with the money saved on the Beni trade, we signed Renfroe to play OF, right?
-
Yes, we should have kept Nomar, Ellsbury and Workman.
-
We also avoided paying Betts $40m X 10+ and half of Price's contract for several years. That money saved helped us sign Renfroe, Kike, Wacha, Hill and Starhm plus many more to come. It was not just about one year of Betts for a "grab bag."
-
If we lose Devers it will be with henry's blessing. Should his head roll, too? Bloom did not extend Sale. He did sign Story and extend Barnes, but I doubt those contracts are keeping us from extending Devers to a market rate contract.
-
I did not say by May 24th. Look at the May 6th numbers, as in "early May." I never said he might heat up on the exact same dates. BTW, he's at a whopping .613 in his last 9 games! Signs of starting to heat up? Who knows?
-
I'm not predicting a Dalbec heat-up, but he looked just as awful last April and early May. On May 6th, 2021: 1 HR 6 rbi and .507 OPS May 26, 2021: 5 HR 21 rbi .640 OPS On May 4, 2022: 1 HR 3 rbi and .441 OPS May 24, 2022: 1 HR 6 rbi and .486 OPS
-
You never know. If Dalbec heats up, like he did last summer, and our OF'er continue to all hit under .600, maybe we'll see him in LF more and more, especially vs LHPs.
-
One of the very few.
-
It's easier to ignore his defense in LF.
-
You knew a bad stretch was bound to happen, at some point. Now, how long will it last?
-
Yes, the bid 3 beyond pitching are (in no order) 2B, C, CF/RF. In 4th place might be RF/CF. Depending on where we decide to play Whitlock and Houck, we'll need at least 3 solid pitchers. That's 6-7 major slots to fill with perhaps $110M to spend (per year). That's not chump change. In the past 2 seasons, Bloom had about $40M to fill 10 slots before '21 and about $60M to fill 8 slots, this past winter.
-
If we have the same budget, next year, we should have about $100-110M to spend on... SP SP/RP RP 2B CF C RF That's 7 major slots and assuming 1B/DH will be covered by Casas/Dalbec/Cordero. I'm not counting on... Arroyo/Downs/Fitzy to cover 2B Duran/Cordero/Verdugo/JBJ/Fitzy to cover the whole OF Wong/RHern/Cottam to cover C and back-up C Bello/Winckowski/Seabold/Walter/Groome/Mata/German to cover a major pitching slot But out of all of these, I dislike the catching choices the most.
-
I think Rafaela has a chance to reach the top 100, but Walter might have the best chance of all.
-
I might count on him as the back-up, but we need a real catcher in '23.
-
Keep righting themselves, yes.
-
No doubt, Judge is worth more than Bogey, even if we didn't have Story, already. Maybe Devers takes $27.5M x 10.
-
Yes, but I've still lost hope. The guy hit close to .800 from '19-'20, but he seems to have lost that groove. I wish we had gotten Stallings.
-
Replace Bogey with Judge and all the nay-sayers will shut up. (Probably not. There's Devers to sign, too, and there's always Sale to bitch about.)
-
I've not given up on Dalbec, Verdugo or Kike's bats. Any one could fill in with a hot streak, if Cordero's is not sustained. I've all but given up on Vaz. JBJ is always tough to project.
-
I knew Mayer would pass Casas. Glad to see Bello moving up. Who is next? Walter?
-
The guy dislikes every Sox player, coach, manager and GM, except Devers. I find it hard to think of a fan that dislikes so much about "his team."
-
He also added Paxton, this winter, as well as the questionable Danish. The expectation, faulty or otherwise, was that Sale would be back, too. (Not really an "addition" but in a sense, he was supposed to be.
