  1. Bogey could probably use 7-10 days off, but with no Arroyo or Marwin it’s not easy.
  2. I’d say much better. He was our 1-2 starter for a big chunk of the season.
  3. But WAR, OPS against and xFIP show he’s much better than average.
  4. Of course he may hit better or much better than .600. I expect him to. I only said Jeter will not be called up if he keeps hitting .600. He will be added to the 40 man, this winter.
  5. Exactly, but ERA + and ERA- don’t really make Porcello look much better. One would think over a long career many things like inherited runners allowed to score or not would all even out, but really there are probably significant variances from pitcher to pitcher. To me, the biggest flaws in ERA is with the E. earned runs are often the result of poor fielding that is not called an error. Whether a ball hit is determined to be a hit or an error is also often arbitrary calls made by the scorer. Park difference can make huge differences. That is one reason I look at stats like OPS against which to me is a stat that is a “run prevention indicator.” It’s been shown to have a high correlation to how many runs are scored. Using multiple categories to definitively value a player makes the most sense. Using just ERA, SIERA and ERA+ will not tell the whole story.
  6. His OPS against is pretty bad 7 or 8 games back.
  7. Yes, I know his grip on a slot is tenuous. His last start was not bad, so he'll get one or two more, unless we trade him. I'm okay with moving Houck into the rotation, when needed. I'm not sure now is the time, unless weplace ERod on the IL. Richards and Perez will get 1-2 more starts, minimum.
  8. This looks like a steal for the Sox, but the BTV value is 32.4 to LAA and 28.4to BOS. Downs, Dalbec & Groome for Walsh(1B) & R Iglesias (RP) Jared Walsh .832 OPS (22 HRs & 66 RBI) 4+ yrs of control Raisel Iglesias 3.43 ERA/ 0.918 WHIP (13.5 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9) rental
  9. I'd rather have Dalbec + Cordero/Kike/Marwin
  10. Barlow was a joke. I'd give Dalbec & Potts for Santana & Staumont (Maybe Dalbec & Groome)
  11. I wasn't aware. Thanks. That is not a bad contract.
  12. BTV accepted Ro Hernandez, Groome, Potts & Rosario for Aguilar (1B), Thompson (SP) & Bleier (RP) Jesus Aguilar .791OPS (17 HRs & 71 RBI) Zach Thompson 2.45 ERA/ 1.061 WHIP Richard Bleier 2.82 ERA/o.861 WHIP
  13. My last line was we trade for a RP'er. That's 2 for 2 plus Sale (maybe minus ERod). Gray > Richards
  14. Dalbec has way more value than Santana. I know it sounds whacked, but 2 month rentals don't have much value. Yes, Barlow has a lot of value. I was just being sarcastic. BTV accepts this trade: Dalbec for Santana & Staumont
  15. "Well" to us is mediocre to him. This argument is NOT about Porcello. It's about what some consider "good" and "mediocre."
  16. Downs will not be called up, if he remains near .600.
  17. Maybe Dalbec for Santana & Barlow.
  18. BTV Trade: To BOS: Gibson (SP), Kennedy (RP), N Lowe (1B) To TEX: Downs, Dalbec, Groome, Ro Hernandez
  19. I'd say yes. If Downs keeps struggling, he may never make the bigs.
  20. BTV accepted this trade, and all values came out exactly even: To BOS: Jon Gray & CJ Cron To OAK: Richards, Sawamura & $4M cash (out of $6.4M owed) To COL: Groome, Potts & Guldberg (from OAK) We could then trade for another RP'er.
  21. No, and my idea is to not have him in the rotation unless there is another injury.
  22. Upcoming roster moves (beyond any trades): It looks like Arroyo, Marwin & Santana might be out a while, so there's not much on the farm to bring up. Our 3 man bench is Plawecki, Chavis & Cordero. Theonly position players on the 40 man on the farm are: Arauz Wilson Wong (AA: Ro Hernandez, Potts, Rosario) (We could add Munoz or Ockimey, but I doubt we do.) It is likely we trade for a 1Bman or bench piece. Pitching: IL Sawamura, Andriese, Bazardo & Brasier Rehab: Sale (Seabold) Replace: Workman Rios Valdez (ERod to IL?) I think Sawamura for Workman is easy, as is Sale for Rios. I think we'll DFA Andriese (out of options), unless someone goes on the IL(ERod?). If we trade for a pitcher without trading away a pitcher, who do we demote or DFA?

  24. We could give them Chavis in return... LOL!
