I'd pay $35M x 6 for... Chris Freakin' Sale Wait until after the season begins to make it official.

I found "$35M plus"... https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikedowling/2019/03/14/sale-red-sox-on-verge-of-contract-extension/#7a50a4d63991

Where's the link?

$41M a year?

MLBTR... Nathan Eovaldi re-signed with the Red Sox on a four-year, $68MM contract in December, but only after the right-hander drew serious interest from elsewhere. The Angels and Phillies “really wanted” Eovaldi, per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, though the feeling wasn’t mutual. During the free-agent process, Eovaldi informed his agency, ACES, he only wanted to sign with the Red Sox or his hometown Astros, according to Bradford. But the Astros, despite the questions in their rotation, didn’t pursue the 29-year-old. “Houston is home for me,” Eovaldi told Bradford. “I would have had more talks with the Astros but they just didn’t want any part of it so they were out of the question. While Eovaldi added that he was “a little surprised” the Astros ignored him, he’s happy to be back in Boston after helping the club to a championship in 2018.

True, so maybe they should have changed "all time" to last 50 years or so...

Let's compare their numbers at the same ages and when the reach prime. Pablo from age 23-27: .292 BA (Maybe Devers ends up under this.) 103 HR in 3070 ABs (Maybe Devers ends up much higher here.) .345 OBP .464 SLG .809 OPS Maybe .809 is his floor over the next 6 years. Counting all his seasons after age 22, Pablo hit .775. Maybe that's "the floor" going forward.
-
I think they were thinking all around with a heavy influence on defense.
-
Devers was younger, when he started out in the bigs. I guess one could view Pablo as the floor for Devers.
-
Thanks! Topped out at 93. Pretty good.
-
Anybody know what Sale hit on the radar gun today? His numbers look great ... 4 IP 7 Ks 0 BB 2 H
-
I think it is a reasonable comp. Devers might do better, but he might do worse. He may never catch him of defense but may pass him on offense.
-
After the Sox win it all again- back-to-back- every team will copy us, and FA pen salaries will nose-dive.
-
He's already been a net plus on offense, despite the low OBP. At worst, IMO, he becomes a very good DH or 1Bman. Maybe I'm wrong to expect someone to improve from ages 22-26, but it is what I am doing with Devers. I see his floor (not 2019 but career) as maybe .260 30 90. I see his ceiling (not 2019) as maybe .285 45 130.

Best OF Ever? How 2019 Red Sox outfield can be best ever WWW.MLB.COM The Red Sox outfield in 2018 was -- and this should really go without saying -- just fantastic. Mookie Betts had an all-time season on his way to winning the Most Valuable Player Award. Andrew Benintendi improved in almost every way from the 2017 that placed him second in the

Last spring's IP by our starters: 22 ERod 21 Sale 14 Porcello 13 Wright 12 Pom 11 Velazquez 7 Johnson (33 K Kendrick, 7 H Owens, 3 RElias & 5 SHaviland)
-
He K's a lot and dipped in OBP last year. He's shown very good power and seems to rise to the occasion, when a hit is needed. His overall numbers are very good for someone playing 2-3 years younger than most rookies.
-
I was including March, and I'm sticking to my .600+ projection. Sweeping the M's will be a nice start.
-
I could see adding CWS and LAA to the miracle column- making it 10 teams with pretty much zero chance going into 2019.
-
I don't think Oakland was ranked in the bottom 12 before last year started. MN was kind of a shocker in 2017, but they might have been ranked above the bottom 12.
-
I totally agree. If just about every team had a chance, interest in MLB would improve a lot.
-
What would a Betts extension be?
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I don't disagree, but from the Sox perspective, lowering the AVV is more important. Yes, if JD does well and stays healthy before he opts out, the Sox would likely feel more comfortable offering an extra year or two, if the AVV is lower. -
Well, we improved the team a lot from last April with the mid season Eovaldi and Pearce moves and re-signings. (We also did not have Brasier on the ML roster in the first half of 2018.) True, one could argue losing Kimbrel, Kelly & Pom cancel out the above points. We may be able to count Pedey and Thornburg as additions.
-
My guess is 10 teams having a good to great shot and 3-5 having an outside shot is better than most MLB pre-season outlooks.

It's been this way for decades and decades. My opinion: Best chances: BOS LAD NYY HOU Good chances: Cubs WSH CLE PHI STL MIL Slight chances: ATL OAK NYM TBR MN Miracle: COL CIN SDP No chance: 12 others One could argue half the teams have virtually zero chance. That's sad but consistent with MLB history. 1998: only 1 teams finished within 8 games of first place in their division. (16 under .500) 1978: 7 of 12 NL teams finished 11+ games out. 7 of 14 AL teams finished 13.5+ games out (6 of 12 19+ out). 1958: The NL 2nd place team finished 8 GB (84-70). 5 of 8 were under .500. The AL 2nd place team finished 10 GB (82-72). The 3rd place Sox were 79-75. 5 of 8 teams were below .503.
