  1. You sure "hear" things funny.
  2. All last year, they said they were stretching our Whitlock. He looks like Gumby, now.
  3. No crickets, here. I'd prefer Whitlock, but both are good enough to start, and both will likely do well as starters. The 2 pitch issue is real. The 3rd time through the line-up is real, but so many starters, these days, are yanked after 2 times through, so it's not such a big deal anymore, to me. If we had a stronger pen, I'd like Houck & Whitlock starting. Also, when we give our opinions, we don't claim Cora & Co. will go with out ideas.
  4. Potential, yes, but he ain't past the big two, yet.
  5. Small career sample size, but DHern has one of the best K/9 rates in MLB history. Too bad he walks so many, too.
  6. Worry about Sale, now Taylor, Bogey's hand, Story's elbow, JD's age regression, Vaz's overuse, and on and on...
  7. remember how Manny missed teh start of ST'ing by using "My grandmother died" like 7 times?
  8. ...and he's wrong. He picked and chose one or two statements from my view on the Story signing and often misses the whole picture and context.
  9. DHern has not really been improving in the role he's been given. Maybe changing it up might work.
  10. I hear you, especially on Sale. Some possible deals yet to be made for 2022 might have some of those blanks spots on the '23 matrix in mind.
  11. MLBTR has these pitchers still on the market: Jose Alvarez RP Brett Anderson SP Chris Archer SP Jake Arrieta SP Dellin Betances RP Brad Brach RP Trevor Cahill SP Tyler Clippard RP Johnny Cueto SP John Curtiss RP Zach Davies SP Ross Detwiler RP Chris Devenski RP Rafael Dolis RP Oliver Drake RP Thomas Eshelman SP Luke Farrell RP Mike Fiers SP Mike Foltynewicz SP Jesse Hahn RP J.A. Happ SP Ryne Harper RP Matt Harvey SP Tommy Hunter RP Brandon Kintzler RP Wade LeBlanc SP Evan Marshall RP Andrew Miller RP Blake Parker RP Yusmeiro Petit RP Nick Ramirez RP Richard Rodriguez RP Sergio Romo RP Trevor Rosenthal RP Edgar Santana RP Hunter Strickland RP Wander Suero RP Josh Tomlin RP Jose Urena SP Tony Watson RP Brandon Workman RP
  12. Winter of '22-'23 C _______ 1B Dalbec/Casas 2B ______/Arroyo/Downs 3B Devers SS Story LF Duran/Verdugo CF ______/ JBJ RF JBJ/Verdugo DH Dalbec/Casas SP1 _____ SP2 Sale SP3 Houck SP4 Whitlock SP5 Pivetta Closer _____ RP2 Barnes RP3 _____ RP4 Taylor RP5 Diekman RP6 Brasier RP7 Davis RP8 Sawamura/Valdez/Bazardo/Feltman
  13. So... 1. Eovaldi 2. Houck 3. Pivetta 4. Hill 5. Wacha (IL: Sale & Paxton) Depth: Whitlock, Seabold, Crawford, Winckowski, Bello
  14. I hope not. Maybe it was some unknown injury that slowed him down, and he's over it now. Very concerning info.
  15. Fenway's RF is like CF in many parks.
  16. He waited even longer for Iggy.
  17. We have no clear closer, so adding him to the mix can't hurt. Many of us have seemed to pump him up way beyond his BTV value.
  18. I'm concerned, too, and a .752 away OPS is not usually someone you pay $23M/yr for, but Story is a very good defender and may hit well enough in Fenway to keep his overall OPS high enough to be more than acceptable. The more I look at his defensive numbers, the more I like him. I had originally really wanted Baez, but I see Story being about equal to him. Maybe my "makes little sense" statement was a bit premature and or hyperbolic. There are some issues with the signing, but it does make sense.
  19. They can likely top Duran, too. According to BTV, two Durans are needed to get Montas.
  20. Montas has 2 years remaining. They may wait to trade him. If we do trade, I hope we get Trivino added to the deal.
  21. I think it's good he made the choice somewhat early. The closer by committee idea may be ripe for this era, but I'm having a hard time thinking it will work. I sure hope the Barnes we see is the first half 2021 Barnes and not the last couple months Barnes.
  22. OMG! It's completely pointless talking to you. How do you get that out of what I said. Where did I say you don't respond to posters or that someone said you don't? Again, you missed my point. I'm fine with anyone disagree with my point, but dealing with someone who can't understand simple points is too frustrating. I had to put Swi back on ignore. I think I'll have to do the same with you, again. (I think I did for a while, last year, too.) Good bye, for now, anyway.
