"Great?" One might argue, you and Old Red are one in the same posters. (Yes, I was and still am high on Seabold. My comment made before was in response to you saying he was horrible in AAA, last year, when he seemed okay to good, to me.)

-19.4 UZR/150 (actually more meaningful)

One areathe Sox have really slipped in is the IFA market. 2004: Doubront 2006: Dice-K & Okajima 2008: Tazawa 2009: Bogey, Montas, Iggy 2010: Aro 2011: Margot 2012: Bautista, Guerra & the Basabes 2013: Devers & DHern 2014: Moncada, Rusney, Bazardo 2015: Mata 2016: Hector Velazquez 2017: Bello 2018> basically crickets

My IRA is booming. My bank account is booming. My Sox are booming. What's not to love about America?
-
Brutal
-
And Duran +Arroyo for Manaea + Trivino
-
Ahhh, yes. Then Shaw and Davis are in and add DHern and Arauz. Could Fitzy make it?
-
At the end of the year, yes. Houck.
-
The new DFA list looks harder... 1. Arauz (now that we have Story as the back-up SS) 2. Plawecki (if we deem Wong or R Hernandez ready for the bigs) 3. Davis (out of options) 4. Bazardo or Tyler
-
There were more between him and Scott, too- many more.
-
Me, too, that's why I said "ask" like Correa did, too. -
I think Duran's offense will come around. His tinkering with his swing may have slowed the progress, some. I'm most worried about his defense. He reminds me of Ellsbury, who started out being average, at best on D, but he turned into a plus fielder after a few years.
-
Free agency is never about true worth, but then again, Story was a FA, too. I think the Home-Away splits kept Story from getting more, and maybe his elbow injury kept his defensive value down. Maybey Bogey gets $190M/8 or $170M/7. I doubt his highest offer will be as low as $150M/6.
-
Man, the Dodger player budget looks sick! 16 players over $7M lux tax dollars. 10 are over $12M. 8 over $17M. 5 over $21M. 4 over $27M. 3 over $30M.
-
George Scott, too. (Wow, both happened to be black.)
-
Close, but I'd guess no. I think he'll take $200M/8 minimum. (He'll likely ask for $280M/10.)
-
Good points. You know me: I was the one saying offer Betts $400M/12 and am currently the leader of the "Dever Forevers Fan Club," but you are right. $30M a year is a lot for any one player. In theory, spending $10M on 3 is much less risky and allows for shorter term deals. However, that feeds into the revolving door concept and the lack of long term attachments to to favorite players on our team. It's like a lose-lose scenario. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
-
It should have happened. My point was it seems like there is some sort of hint of nostalgia about keeping our best players longer, like we used to do a better job, "back in the day." I was just pointing out that there were periods where it was much worse than the last 2 decades, but of course, before Curt Flood, there was a long period where more players often spent their entire careers with one team.
-
Wow, I nailed two in a row! I had Potts #1 on my DFA list and Rosario #2. They just DFA'd Rosario for Story. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/red-sox-dfa-jeisson-rosario.html
-
Our 5 starters will get a day off after their first start- Eovaldi, after his first 2 starts, then it's 18 games in 18 days. Maybe we throw in a pen game or two in that stretch. Apparently, we are stretching our Whitlock and others for multiple inning roles, so it's doable.
-
We may not cut anyone, except maybe Davis, who is out of options, but I doubt it. I think the 26 is pretty well set, except for who the 13th pitcher might be. C: Vaz 1B: Dalbec 2B: Story 3B: Devers SS: Bogey LF: Verdugo CF: Kike RF: JBJ DH: JD Bench: Plawecki, Arroyo, Duran, Shaw SP: Eovaldi, Pivetta, Houck, Wacha, Hill RP: Whitlock, Barnes, Brasier, Diekman, Strahm, Sawamura, Davis #26: DHern, Robles, Valdez, Holland IL: Paxton (60 day), Sale, Taylor Maybe someone beats out Shaw.
-
It might be the right time, but I think we'll make him a fair offer, before he gets too worried.
-
Opening games, this year... 16 of first 22 games are on the road, and after 2 days off in the first 8 days, we play 18 straight days, barring rain/snow outs. Th 4/7 @NYY Fr 4/8 OFF Sa 4/9 @NYY Su 10 @NYY Mo 11 @DET Tu 12 @DET We 13 @DET Th 14 OFF Fr 15 MIN Sa 16 MIN Su 17 MIN Mo 18 MIN Tu 19 TOR We 20 TOR Th 21 TOR Fr 22 @TBR Sa 23 @TBR Su 24 @TBR Mo 25 @TOR Tu 26 @TOR We 27 @TOR Th 28 @TOR Fr 29 @BAL Sa 30 @BAL Su M1 @BAL Mo May 2 OFF (then 6 game home stand vs LAA & CWS)
-
It's "only spring training," but it's better to look real good than bad. We are just 2 weeks and 2 days away from opening up at NYY! Play ball!
-
Wish we could go back to the good ole days when players like Tiant, Lee, Lynn, Burleson and Fisk we allowed to retire on the team that brought them up...err... wait a minute...
