Last year, it was .773...kinda like Sam Travis or Chavis.

I'd hate to lose Betts, and I'm on record with suggesting higher offers than just about anyone else is willing to give, but if we lose him, it's not like we won't spend that money elsewhere. We'll end up with something special, but I'd sure hate to see him go.

Yes, we will be a playoff team this year

I guess I could have said our closer has been a louse. -
True, and we may try and cut our losses by trading one of our 3 costly starters (paying part of their deals) to help with the reset and allow us budget flexibility to sign more under the radar players. Houston got this good by getting really bad for a few years. I'm hopeful we can get back to the top without using that model.
-
I agree, and although Holt has had injury issues, I'd try to keep him at a low cost. I'd play Chavis, Marco and Travis just about every game from now on. Bring up Dalbec, Chatham and Lin in September- maybe even Ockimey.
-
Barnes was actually on a long stretch of improving every year until 2019. Hembree was looking as good as ever, until his 2019 injury. Both should not be traded when their stock is low. Keep them for 2020, and maybe we trade them at the deadline, assuming we are resetting or out of contention.

I didn't want to call you a louse! -
The great defensive JBJ in the spacious Seattle CF would instantly turn you into a contender!

Point taken. I'd add him to the list.

Nice! How's this: Mal be da man That ain't no scam He in the Sox corner Since way before Werner So let's set this team a burnin' No -
That's why I use ERA- or ERA+.
-
Not really. He could be DFA'd again. His return cost in trade should be between very little and extremely little. If you want to debate whether it might be Brian Johnson vs Hector Velazquez, then I'll stay out of that discussion. You never answered my question. Last year, you wanted JBJ. Would you trade Broxton for JBJ?
-
The discussion was about FA CF'ers AND player felt to be available or could be available at a low return cost. Clearly a guy who was DFA'd twice may be easy to trade for.
-
The Yankee pen is way better than ours. I'm not sure why you keep arguing against straw men. Was the Yankee pen way better than ours last year? (Hint, their top 3 guys were way better last year.) The Yankee starters got worse by much more than their pen, but that doesn't mean our pen is the only, let alone the main reason we are where we are.
-
Nobody has ever said the Sox pen is as good as the Yanks. The point was about what area is mostly to blame for the massive shift in the standing from 2018 to 2019. Most feel it is a combination of things, but you only blame the pen, despite oddles of evidence that shows our starters got worse by more than our pen from 2018 to 2019. You choose to blame only the pen, because the Yankee pen is way better than ours, despite the fact that the disparity between the two pens was greater last year- the year we won the whole thing. You choose to ignore the game by game analysis I did that clearly showed the starters lost more games for us than the pen and the pen won more games for us that the starters. Amen and good night.

Okay, it's 529 in 2019 over 200 or so PAs. JBJ's was .520 after 174 PAs this year. One will make $10.5M next year: the other maybe $600K. We are just talking about possible options for replacing JBJ in CF without losing anything on defense. It's a way to save $10M. Yes, we may have to give you Brian Johnson or some other guy we are thinking of DFA'ing, but so what?
-
It ain't happening, and the Sox will make sure it doesn't, even if it could, which it can't, so it won't, so there.

Workman cam into the game in 28 save situations and has 15 holds, 8 saves and 5 BS's. I'd say that's pretty decent. Chapman has had 40 save situations and has 35 saves, 0 holds and 5 BS's.
