Agreed. I will add that we were missing our best starter, Chris Sale for more than two thirds of the season. Perhaps our best replacement starter, Houck, missed some time during Sale's injury, too, but yes, overall our rotation held up pretty well, health wise.
-
Not far off. -
Frank was the best character by far.

You have a notin subscription?

Man crush. Ewwww!

No, but my guess is it is ballpark. (like that one?)

The Sox had 1434 hits, last year and scored 829 runs. If you apply the same ratio to 30 hits, it comes to 17.3 runs, or 1.73 WAR- rounded up to 2.

We got nothing for Fisk. We mailed his contract a day late. We did get back good talent in many of the trades we made, but that winning team was dismantled and replaced by teams that did not really compete from 10980 to 1985. Sure, we sucked for a year after trading Betts, but the future looks bright. It did not back then.
-
Bringing back ex-Sox players seems to be popular. If we traded Arroyo or Duran, I could see bring Brock back.
-
He can play OF, but he bats lefty.
-
Fingers crossed.

To develop such a great core of young players and add a classy guy like Tiant was such a great thing to do, then the GM (and owner) destroyed it all.

The Sporting News gives the Sox the 4th best odds in the division: +170 TOR +221 NYY +253 TBR +491 BOS +17300 BAL It's not even close!

My fearless predictions will be coming out soon. (spoiler alert: JD will be over .825)
-
I remember softlaw wanting him demoted, then he blasted me for suggesting we move him down to the 6 or 7 slot, until he worked through his issues.
-
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
