WAR for First Year Sox Players: (First Year with Significant Playing Time) +1.0 Walden (76 IP) +1.0 Taylor (46 IP) +0.7 Chavis (382 PAs) +0.6 DHern (30 IP) +0.4 Weber (36 IP) +0.2 Lakins (20 IP) -0.1 Shawaryn (19 IP) -0.2 Marco (133 PAs) -0.5 Travis (140 PAs)
-
No love for Chavis?
-
How about the Brewers: 15 games over .500 with 3 less runs scored than allowed. Must be the great pen they have,right jacko? (They are 4 slots below the Sox pen in WAR and have a 4.31 ERA & 1.30 WHIP.)
-
Pretty amazing to win a ring in 2013, bring up all these guys and flop.
-
Lot's of crappy calls. Lots of dumb penalties by ND. Bad play calling by ND. We shoulda won.

9/21 SOX @ Tampa

How many of these pen games have we had this year? This is ridiculous. -

If only we had Kimbrel, err... (He let up 2 Hrs in the 9th vs the Cards, tonight.) -
Look at the year 2014. It was the year all these players had their first season with 200+ PAs or 75+ IP: Betts Bogey JBJ Vaz Workman We won't be seeing that again under this system and with this current farm.
-
I thought you gave up on him.
-
One could argue Henry is greedier than Mookie.
-
They haven't had a real high draft in a while. Like I said, they seem to do best with getting average Joes having career years with them. The Astros are also good at finding a way to get players to do better when on their team.
-
Nick, your point wasn't about the trades being good or bad. You asked about what players we traded would be wanted now, and it seemed like you were implying none.
-
Let's assume it's 3 impact players- maybe not all stars but also not 0 to 0.5 WAR guys either. Let's say they stay for their full team control years, including their arbs, which may become expensive but won't reach FA value, unless you're JBJ. Let's say that's 5 years. That means those 3 are "cycled out every 5 years with the new 3 coming in. That's just 15 players at any given time giving meaningful value to the 25 and soon to be 26 man roster. The rest would have to be free agents. 3 is actually too low a number. 4 would mean we'd have around 20, at all times, and would only need 5-6 free agents- maybe some at a low cost. While Chavis, DHern, Taylor, Shawaryn, Kelley & Lakins might total 6, but let's not kid ourselves. How many of these guys from this years "crop" will become meaningful players over the 5 years fo their team control? Maybe 2? That might be generous.
-
3 that make a significant impact is- for us. Also, I took the 3 number as the minimum significant players needed per year to sustain competitiveness.
-
I doubt it was Cora, but do you think he stopped throwing it earlier, on his own?
-
LOL. Fire the guy who convinced him to not throw it.
-
Their best area seems to be two-fold: 1) They trade away very good talent just before they decline. 2) They pick up journeymen, scrubs or decent players via trade or free agency who then go on to have a career year or two. They don't seem to draft all that well, but do find pitchers way better than we do. My question was more about who are the people behind this or what is their system that we can copy or hire?
-
To me, the Astros & Dodgers are better, on paper.
-
I'm not saying I'd like to reverse all these deals, but here's my take: I'd love to have Kopech and Logan Allen for next year and beyond. We could trade JBJ and have Margot in CF. Moncada could be our 2Bman or DH(1B?). Dubon could play 2B or utility. If we go farther back beyond DD, we could have Montas, Rizzo, Shaw (DD) & others.
-
Their back-up to their back-ups blew us away.

Connie Mack and Pitching

Maybe it's more important, now. -
They sucked, at first.
-
The Rays have changed GMs and coaches through these years. What has been the common denominator?
-
It helps to have your team score over 9 runs 10 times in your starts (17 times at 7 or more and 20 at 6 or more.) He should really could have been a 20 game winner, if he could just have had an ERA or 4.77 and a little luck.
-
I'm thinking the Nats or the Stros- maybe the Phillies.
