Thanks boggs. Sometimes, I need a boost of confidence about our farm. At least there is hope on the distant horizon.

It is subjective to a large degree, but I trust a subjective analysis by a group of unbiased, trained and calibrated people who watch every play of every game vs myself, who only watches Sox games and the players we face on those particular game days. I'm not saying I will always agree with their numbers 100%, but I'll believe them over any single person, including myself. If they have JBJ ranked 24th on defense this year, I may scratch my head, but I can't say I am certain they are wrong, because I don't know how good the other 23 guys are. I know enough to think 10-12 might be better in any given year, but some of the others I don't know jack about and may never have seen them make one play- let alone enough plays to make a definitive judgement. I'm satisfied with their 3 year ranking, which is what they recommend we use for comparative judgments.

Brings back great memories! Rhanks. -
No "probably."
-
A 2 inning "rebound" may be all we can expect.
-
Actually, ...
-
Bogey has been "the man" all year, but does anyone else fell like I do, that Devers will pass him in OPS by year's end? (Not a slight on Bogey, here.)
-
Actually, my position was to give him more time at 3B, but I felt he'd eventually be moved to 1B.
-
I was the clown I was talking about. I'd trade him tonight for the right return.
-
It's one per year, no matter how much you are yo-yo'd. He has 1 left.
-
He's a new man! BTW, who was the clown who wanted Devers moved to 1B?
-
Chavis will move to 2B, when Moreland returns. Travis will be sent down. Pearce will likely be DFA'd, or we'll send Marco down.

I'm assuming, yes. Plus, since most positions have negative WAR players among the bottom 5 or 6 players at each position, one could argue there are several MLB players playing below the level of replacement. We were just talking about dWAR and defense, though, and I'm assuming there are a ton of minor league players that are excellent fielders but never make it to the bigs, because they can't hit. It's hard to know what a "replacement level defender" is, because it doesn't really make sense. Are we talking about the average defensive skill level of AAAA players? The worst players are below replacement level, if their WAR is below zero, and there are many starting players below zero right now. It takes 180 PAs to get to 270 "qualifying" players (30 teams x 9 starters), and out of the 270 players on the list, 64 have a negative WAR and 70 are at 0 or below. According to fangraphs, 148 player have a negative dWAR, so maybe they set dWAR with zero as average not replacement level.

Who was the clown that wanted Beni traded? Oops...

That was just to get to the 51% win probability.

7/14 Dodgers in Beantown

Assuming the bunt works. -
With Nunez gone, there is one less out-of-options player on the 25 man roster. Future choices: Eovaldi up- Weber down Johnson up- Walden down Moreland up- Travis down These all look simple. If we trade for a pen arm, a tougher choice may need to be made, unless we include Johnson in the deal.

Price is doing fine. Sale & Porcello NOT.
-
HR/9 1.87 Straily 1.83 Bundy 1.76 Harvey 19th Porcdello 1.46
-
HRs 2017-2019: 88 Bundy 81 Verlander (no wonder he is complaining about juiced balls) 80 Porcello (before tonight's blast & counting...) 5. Tanaka 78 10. Lester 67 17. Happ 65
-
Maybe 12.
-
Another thing we know is that Porcello sucks.

The Starting Rotation Performance Thread
moonslav59 replied to YastrzemskI's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yes. If a starter goes 6 innings and then lets up 3 runs in the 7th (2 unearned), we still say, "Nice start." Our pen went 6 scoreless innings last night before Velazquez and Bogey's meltdown, but nobody thinks, "nice game, pen." -
If we'd only have signed Cody Allen instead of Pearce!
-
Nunez and Holt's fragility is the reason we traded Buttrey for Kinsler.
