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.

Wander Franco Offered Record Extension... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/11/rays-rumors-wander-franco-extension-offer-record-150-200-million.html

One article on Rule 5 by Ben Kairalla says ... It’s a certainty that Downs will be protected. It’s also very likely Jimenez and Bello are protected as well. Beyond those three, the right-handed pitching trio of Ward, Crawford, and Winckowski all rank among the Top-30 Red Sox prospects, and could provide depth to a team looking to add fresh arms and new faces to their pitching staffs without having to trade for a pitcher or look to the free agent market for pitching. Players currently on the 40-man roster who my find themselves in danger of being removed to prevent the Rule 5 eligible prospects from being drafted include: Eduardo Bazardo (RHP), Phillips Valdez (RHP), Ronaldo Hernandez ©, Hudson Potts (1B/3B), Jeisson Rosario (OF). Another player who could be at least temporarily jettisoned from the 40-man roster is infielder Jonathan Arauz. n all, the Red Sox have nearly 50 players in their minor league system that are Rule 5 draft eligible. Beyond the top organizational prospects mentioned above, other recognizable names to keep an eye on include outfielder Franchy Cordero and relief pitcher Durbin Feltman.

There was a time nobody really looked at K rates and OBP.
-
I read that time in some article, this morning, but I can't find it, now. I think it said Noon ET.
-
You have many who share that opinion. I respect analytics but realize no one metric or data source can ever tell the whole story or definitively solve most debates.
-
I would expect many to say Lynn. Younger fans: JBJ. I also think many look at longevity when saying who was "the best." I would agree, those two should be in the top 3-5 and would be 1-2, if you count most innings played well.
-
Ok, but you said "you guys..."
