I'm pretty sure the guys they bring in to replace "the worst" will not be all that much better, if at all.
-
Okay, but you also said the Sox won't be "shelling that out," so I assumed you thought they'd get it.
-
Yes, and he will be alone as the best SS next market year.
-
So, Jimenez might be out of baseball at 24/25?
-
When is the last time we saw 5 top flight free agents all at the same position in the same year? Story Correa Semien Baez Seager (Bogey, next year, and maybe on the trade market, this year.)
-
I did say I doubt he gets $25M but "might get close," so who is saying $25-30M, besides Teddy?
-
I'll take double those K's if the guy can field, hit 30 Hrs and drive in 100. Plus, it's better than GIDPs.
-
I'd give ERod his QO, and no, I would not pay Stroman, Glausman or R Ray large and long. If we can get one on a shorter deal, okay. I'm thinking get an older pitcher, since they won't demand and get a long term deal. Scherzer's dead arm scares me, but there are others. We need 3-4 pitchers and may only have $30-40M to spend after signing Iggy. If we spend $18.5M on ERod, then the rest will be spent on $4-8M pitchers.

The winning argument.
-
Exactly. Players known to "have a great eye" are often given the benefit of doubt- not to mention friendly-to-umps players.
-
Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I don't think there will be a major labor dispute that shuts down ST'ing or any part of the season. FA signings may be delayed, but I think both side know the golden goose is pretty fragile, right now. (I know that was said the last time, too.)
-
True, but I won't miss them. They'll still be standing there, as always- making the calls from an earpiece, and making calls at the plate. Some will remain clowns- some not so much- some respectable.
-
I'm not hoping we sign any of these guys. I want us to sign Iggy and spend every other penny of our spending budget on pitching, pitching, pitching.
-
I doubt Biaz makes $25M a year, but he may get close. I doubt they sign a SS, too. We have bigger priorities. The only things in favor of a signing is the Bogey can opt out in a year, this season is loaded with top SSs, and the last one to sign might not make all that much, AND we could use a FT 2Bman. I'd rather we spend on pitching, but if we do spend big on an everyday player, I'd prefer Baez to Schwarber or an OF'er.
-
Even a program that misses eephus pitches is vastly greater than the clown brigade calling balls and strikes, now.
-
He had a better year in 2019, but I agree. I keep mentioning him, because I know Bloom was interested in him, last winter. I think out best target, other than pitching, is Baez. He may be the cheapest of all the "top" SSs and has a nice glove. The GG winning SS can play 2B and 3B, too. From 2018-2021, he put up these numbers on offense: .270/.311/.508/.819 Per 650 PAs .270 33 100 (82 XBH/ 17 SB) As a comp: Bogey .299 28 104 (74 XBH/ 7 SB) Correa .266 27 98 (60 XBH/2 SB) T Story .281 32 91 (77 XBH/ 25 SB) Semien .264 27 80 (68 XBH/ 11 SB) Seager .224 29 92 (61 XBH/ 4 SB)
-
Depends what you get back. Trading away 6 years of Downs and Duran for someone like Mountcastle with 5 years makes sense. For someone like Montas (2 years), I'd still do it, but I get your point.
-
And, although Renfroe is not very good on D, despite his arm, he seems better than Duran on D and O, at this time.
-
If Schwarber returns, he and JD are the 4th oFers
-
Agreed, unless they deal Bogey. I just said who I preferred. I’d also prefer Biaz to Schwarber, even at a higher cost.
-
I’m not aggravated. I’m amused.
-
It won’t be easy to improve the defense without trading or shuffling positions. I do think we may see improvement from Dalbec and Devers, and if Kike can play FT CF, that will be a plus there. 2B is the easiest position to bring in outside help without messing with other positions. I like Arroyo, but his health is always in question. Bringing back aight makes a lot of sense, even if he hits under .700. I’m thinking next year might be the best time to upgrade defense. Well know more about Devers, Dalbec, Casas and where Bogey will be. We may lose Kike, but maybe not.
-
Clearly no clue. Obviously you care enough to keep reading and responding.
-
Ask your grand kids. They can probably figure it out for you.
-
Semien or Baez is a better idea.
