Nice post. Things might have been different had we just kept our core together. The Fisk fiasco was totally uncalled for and insane. Trading Lynn, Burly, Carbo, Smith, Scott, Cooper, Lee and others and letting guys like Tiant walk really ruined the whole decade.
-
The thing about "on paper" is that injuries are not usually part of the equation. The Yanks are still loaded with injury prone players. We have our share, but the Yanks always have double their share.
-
.780 is better than most 3 and 4 hitters.
-
How is it so "clear?" Can you see the slowed bat speed? How did he hit so well at the end of the season, the playoffs and the season as a whole, with such a reduced bat speed? Are you assuming his bat speed with keep slowing down?
-
Here's what the best 3 teams in MLB had for their 3-5 slot hitters' OPS: SFG 3. 817 4. 813 5. 879 TBR 3. 645 4. 833 5. 722 LAD 3. 905 4. 765 5. 746 JD .867 (.883 3rd and .945 5th. He was .352 4th in just 35 PAs) .815 from June 2nd. .815 since July 6th. .838 from Aug 3rd. .899 from Aug 28th. (not counting the 1.135 playoff OPS in 32 ABs)
-
He might see some normal age decline, but are you thinking he'll be under .800 for the season?
-
LOL. Distracted. I think JD will do fine, and the Jays win the AL East. (Sox 2nd)
-
So, if you add that to his May-OCT numbers, he'd be pretty damn good!
-
Impressive list. Career Leaders: .690 Ruth .634 Williams .632 Gehrig -
That was hell, as was '78, but losing the season by a half game was unprecedented and extremely heartbreaking.
-
I loved the .372 OBP after June 19th. (not directed at you, MVP)
-
I agree. I'd probably predict this: 94 TOR 92 BOS 91 NYY 86 TBR 60 BAL
-
Sometimes, it's hard to know. They should be the faves to win the east, IMO.
-
If Diekman is worth $8M/2, McHugh should be worth $12-14M/2 or $17M/3.
-
The first of many to come, unfortunately. 2004 was so overdue!
-
The two players, yes, but the Pyth has nothing to do with off season moves.
-
The 5 slot is actually a highly valued slot- more so than #3 or #4.
-
Greatly appreciated!
-
That 72 season was my first, as a Sox fan. I remember it well. 40 years!
-
Then, we could have afforded McHugh at $10M/2 vs $8M/2 for Diekman-- or better yet, BOTH!.
-
YES! My bad. So it's about 800 good PAs lost and 650 bad PAs lost, and maybe about 400 iffy players still on the roster but may get more or less PAs in 2022- Arroyo, Duran & Arauz.
-
Yes, the comment was that his OPS was .740 the year he hit .225, so I came up with .200 (BA) and .700 (OPS) being more than fine, for me.
-
I guess $4M is not a terrible gamble, and those numbers are encouraging.
-
He was a great fielder- back before metrics.
-
I didn't either. I was more surprised about the elusive 2 year deal than the $4M, and the fact that we added nobody much better. He'd have been fine as the 7th or 8th guy, but he might be more like 4th or 5th, to start.
