This shows 34th out of 104 with his .873 OPS.
-
Thanks to Rod Carew's hits, he had a nice BA.
-
BTV still lists Dalbec as a 3Bman.
-
Missing a whole season would likely affect some players more thaan others, but it's hard to know if that was a major reason for his early and mid season struggles. I think it has to be a possibility, right?
-
No, I meant it is rare to add your own Rule 5 eligible player to your 40 man roster, then DFA him shortly afterwards.
-
I think he was a little better before 2021, and he plays so many positions, it might be hard using such small sample sizes to judge his level of defense at any one position. I checked out his fangraphs page: UZR/150 2B: -12.4 career (never really a plus) SS: -4.2 career (was plus 2020 & 2021) most innings of any position 3B: -7.0 career (was plus every year until 2021- not many innings) CF: -8.3 career (big minus last 4 years) 2nd most innings played LF: +11.0 career (plus every year) 3rd most innings, career RF: +9.3 career (not many innings here) DRS -4 SS (1992 innings) -2 CF (1285 innings) +13 LF (1144 innings) +2 2B (773 innings) -3 3B (189) +1 RF (86) I'd pass on Taylor. Maybe spend the money on extending Kike.
-
That's how I see it, and if reports are true, we are looking at Baez or Taylor, it's hard to imagine us missing out on the two and not signing someone else to play 2B/SS (Iggy?) I think Arauz may be DFA'd, soon.
-
If reports of Baez or Taylor are true, we must really not trust Arroyo. I admit I don't know much about Taylor's defense, but if he's good, I'd think about him as a lesser costing middle infielder than Baez. I don't like losing a draft pick on Taylor, unless he's way cheaper than Baez. All of this aside, if we are spending so much on 2B and possibly a SS solution beyond 2022, then we better have enough budget space left for pitching- or some trades line up. We need 3 pitchers before we need a 2Bman, IMO.
-
Trade him while his stock is high! LOL
-
Rule 5 Players to be protected will be announce by tomorrow. Here is a breakdown of Sox eligible players: Certains: Bello Downs Near Certains: Winckowski Santos Borderlines: Feltman Crawford Cottam Jimenez Ward Long Shots: Fitzgerald German Kelly Rafaela Ort T Reed Granberg
-
Yes, the "P" is essential.
-
I think Wong has trade value, but who is looking to add borderline roster players, right now? Nobody!
-
I'm often wrong on who I think the first to be DFA'd will be, but I'm pretty certain it will be one or two from thse 3: Plawecki Potts Rosario I'd put Arauz next, but including him in a pool of 4 makes sense, too. I could be wrong, but isn't it pretty rare to protect a Rule 5 kid, then DFA him for a FA signing or Waiver/Rule 5 draftee?
-
True. I'm really not sure how highly Bloom or other GMs value Feltman.
-
They should just rename the award: MWGMOC "Manager Who Gets the Most Out of Crap"
-
Yes, but is it more riskier giving Correa $320M/10 or Baez $110M/5?
-
It's not easy finding players that can maximize this "one year window" while also helping longer term. The very best players want deals that take them beyond prime- some by a lot. Trading for cost-effective and younger players means giving up good prospects, so that is not going to help the longer term outlook. It's not easy. The 2 year deal given to Kike might be what Bloom tries to repeat.
-
There will be players DFA'd in the next 24 hours that have very similar profiles. 5.4 BB/9 1.5 HR/9 1.453 WHIP .768 OPS Against Only Richards and Perez pitched more innings and had a worse OPS Against on the Sox than Hirokazu. Can he do better? Sure. Did he have some nice stretches? Yes. Is he easily replaceable? Indeed.
-
I don't think we protect Ward. I could see flipping Fitzy for Arauz. I think Kelly for Valdez is a longer stretch.
-
He's not that good.
-
My list of 8 was not intended to imply we might DFA (or trade) 8 of our borderline roster players. The list was meant to show we have 8 players that might be discussed, if we need to open up a roster slot or two. I'm not very good at predicting who gets DFA'd first. For months I had Marcus Wilson #1, but he ended up being like #5 or 6. No way we DFA all 8. I do think Bloom might value a player another team DFA's more than he values some of the players on this list, and could, essentially, flip one for another.
-
Are these guys you think another team might select? I can't see us protecting any of these promising prospects. They may not even protect the 7 we've talked mostly about.
-
He was pretty far down on my list, but do you really think he is clearly better than Valdez or Davis? I doubt we get below #3 or #4 on my list, anyway.
-
Yes, but to varying degrees. I'd say more teams are looking to make 2 or 3 for 1 deals and close to none are thinking the reverse, but might be talked into it with a quality offer.
-
If we want to claim a player or two off waivers, we do.
