Kind of amazing that 3 of his top 4 GS seasons were at ages 41, 42 & 43.
-
He will likely get a 1 year deal, which could be something enticing to Sox brass.
-
I think only one poster mentioned Moore to fill our LH'd pen need.
-
Bauer does seem like a hot potato, but we are getting to the point, where we have to shoot in the dark and hope for someone to "regain" or "retool." I'm sick of doing that. Richards, Kluber and now, to some extent, even Giolito. I realize bauer is sort of the same thing, but at least it's not about his arm or abilities as a pitcher. If we don't get Monty or even Clevinger, Bauer would be my 2nd or 3rd pick out of what is left.
-
He also had better numbers than most others after 18 batters.
-
That 26 starts by Hill was the 4th most in his 19 year career. (I'm not defending the piggyback idea. I hated it.)
-
He did start 26 games- second to Pivetta and more than Nate & Wacha. (26 GS was as much as Crawford & Wink, combined.)
-
He'll be 37 in a couple months and hasn't has a good, full season since 2019.
-
Matt Moore gets $9M with Angels. WOW! Hoskins to get $34M/2 with Brewers.
-
Both he and Wood look like perfect Sox signings. Maybe sign 'em both!
-
A trade need not be for a 1-2 year pitcher.
-
He's had more good years than bad (by over 2 to 1,) but last year was not good. Seems like just the guy for us.
-
Top FA SP'ers remaining, as ranked by MLBTR: 4. Snell 6. Montgomery 30. Clevinger 34. Lorenzen 47. Junis Non top 50 Ryu Wood Lauer Kershaw (Not listed: Bauer & Urias)
-
No. He does pretty well until the 19th batter.
-
Partly because they wouldn't yank starters getting drilled early.
-
I'd say Bello & Giolito should go 4+ innings nearly every start. The others are huge Q's.
-
I'm thinking with the uncertainty of 3 of our SP'ers, they may get yanked after 1-2 IP, more than we want to imagine.
-
While spending more on Gio than anything Bloom did, year one, Bloom lost more from the previous season (Betts, Price & Porcello.) so it seems eerily similar, to me.
-
This is almost as bad as Bloom's first winter before 2020, in terms of little new spending. The loss of Betts, Price and Porcello vs JT, Duvall, Paxton, Sale and others is not the same, however, but barely replacing them is, so far.
-
I did add some Brez trades, and also grading his IFA signings, so far. While I do think there has been little change in the top FO philosophy since the start of 2019, I am hopeful Brez can and will do better than Bloom under the same circumstances. It's scary to think he has not been given Bloom's winter budgets of '21, '22 or '23.
-
Seems fair. Now, grade the IFA signings, each year. How about the trades for prospects and the Rulle 5 additions and subtractions? Grissom Campbell, Weissert & Fitts Abreu & EValdez Wink and Gambrell DHam & Binelas Whitlock (Rule 5) I won't ask about Wong.
-
Don't be surprised, if some of these guys get less than projected. Some may end up taking a one year deal, in hopes they get more next winter. There has been so little talk about some of these guys.
-
This will really go beyond absurd, if we fail to land a decent SP, and I'm just talking James Paxton level at the minimum, and now he's gone..
-
I saw a guy like Paxton as a possibility, and we can't even get him. I would prefer an innings eater over Paxton, but I figured a guy like him is maybe the best we could hope for. NOPE!
-
A Chapman to Pirates. McHugh retires.
