Promise? (LOL)
-
I love seeing the Yanks overpay on aging free agents. Most backfire!
-
There are other options- better ones, and they can afford an upgrade.
-
Yes, get it done on Jon Gray. (I wanted us to trade for him at the deadline, too.)
-
They have so many that fit our needs that they could keep 80% and we could still get 2 helpful players. I'd focus on Montas & Trivino. Bassit & Manaea are one year guys. Less costly but less useful.
-
I think Kershaw will not sign with the Dodgers. I agree on the rest.
-
Here are the 6 I think the Sox will be looking at: Matz Taylor (Villar/ C Hernandez) Jon Gray DeSclafani A Cobb H Neris Here are the 6 I hope they look more closely at: Baez Scherzer J Gray Graveman Iggy Y Giomes (trade Vaz)

I just read 6 pm ET. (mlb.com)

Exactly. Had they got him through waivers, they would not have had to keep him on the 26 all year long. This is a rare 0% issue.
-
3 play the wrong positions. Rodon is the closest, but I'm thinking his price tag and years will be too much.
-
Cordero passed through waivers.
-
Yes, look at them all sign with other teams.
-
Look, I agree Semien will be too costly, but you know what I meant by projected WAR - the stat you always use to make a player look better or worse. Finding the worst comp is also a favorite trick of yours, I hope the Ms sign him, and we can watch your tune change in mid note.
-
Why not use projected WAR?
-
Watching all these old highlights are bringing back some fond memories. Maybe the years have dulled the memories.
-
Even the greatest possible break, route and speed can still lead to the necessity of a dive to make the play.
-
The savings they are getting from reducing the minors should help the union's side.
-
Fair enough. JBJ did make some diving plays, too. He mastered the triangle and other weird angles. He got a great jump on balls, almost always took the exact correct route and positioned himself correctly. Lynn was fantastic- even to the point of being recklessly great. He was all about making the catch- screw his own body! No argument on any of these guys. Beniquez, Miller, Crisp and a couple others were all close, but didn't play very long. Maybe saying Kike's last 3 months in 2021 were the best 3 months in Sox CF defense history. (The dropped ball in the playoffs would not count.)
-
His arm was so bad, I can't place him in the top 5. Remember, Manny once cut off one of his throws!!!!
-
It does seem like a "stock" statement many GMs use.
-
It may be "moot," but it's a long winter, so spending a day or so on discussing the best Sox defensive CF'er can be an interesting topic.
-
If you had to name the best defensive CF'er you have seen on the Sox, who would it be?
-
Indeed, unless they are in North Carolina by then.
-
I've heard that about Piersall, too. I started watching the Sox in the very early 70's.
-
I was a huge JBJ fan and supporter, when people bashed him. I loved his defense. He made hard plays look easy, and maybe that hurt his image, a little. At his peak, I'd have no issues saying he was as good or better than Kike, and it might not seem fair to penalize him for longevity and decline, but that's my own personal perspective. Lyn was unbelievable. That 1975 season was fantastic- both on O and D. He was great on defense for a few years with the Sox. He went all out and got hurt playing 110% all the time. Again, with him, I'd have no beef with anyone calling him the best. I just think what I saw of Kike, this year, we the best I have ever seen in a Sox CF'er. The metrics don't back me up, but it's what I think, right now.
