Correa should be called out there. Not that it matters -

So …. Houck and Brasier to try to close it out? -
I did say that. It’s also NOT the statement you boldfaced…
-
I have my doubts the Mets have much interest in Bogaerts given they recently spent their allowance on Lindor…
-
A big part of it might be the 4 years of control remaining...
-
YEs, Pedro is needed to take back some casah. He's a salary dump for Houston here. I'm not so high on Framber, either, given that he has only topped 71 IP in the majors one time. But when you're trading one year of a $20mill shortstop, it is possible that expectations need to be tempered a bit...
-
He might. But it might be for the Chunichi Dragons..
-
No. Yorke has the worst chance, since his ceiling is to equal one of the greatest offensive second baseman in MLB history, whih is mighty high for a 19yo A baller...
-
Sandoval had an OPS+ of 116 for the three seasons prior to signing with Boston. But yes, his OPS+ had been going down slowly over the previous 4 years. Still, he did figure to be an offensive upgrade over Middlebrooks, whose career OPS+ was 88 at the time...
-
BTV accepted a trade of Bogaerts and Dalbec for Framber Valdez and Pedro Baez...
-
A lot of serious "best case scenario" there. In reality, how many of those ceilings will be reached? Or even approached?
-
It really just shows how much of a dice roll those type of moves can be. Except that unless you roll a 6, you probably don't win...
-
He's thinking ahead. This way he can delay his next surgery by two more months...
-
He might lose a few million assuming his career goes as expected and he does not get injured. I would think it made enough sense for him to have a boatload of money guaranteed and still reach free agency by age 27...
-
The Cardinals didn't make the post-season this year? Someone alert baseball-reference and tell them this page never happened https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2021_NLWC.shtml
-
They were always so optimistic. Bottom line is, saying a player has a ceiling of MVP clearly counts as hype...
-
A 6yr/$48mill deal might make sense for both sides...

Morneau's career was derailed by a concussion he received while sliding into second base and colliding with an infielder. And much like with Jason Bay, he was never the same player after one. And Sizemore had microfractures in his knee, much like a former Boston 2B, and was just never able to recover properly, despite trying for multiple seasons. Just because it isn't the NFL doesn't mean it's not a physical game. You're largely highlighting players derailed by injury and labeling it PED usage. Hafner (who only layed 4 full seasons) and Hidalgo had a lot of injury problems as well. By this logic, Tony Congiliaro was clearly using PED's as well..
-
And who said the Sox were smarter to sign Hanley and Pablo over Scherzer?
-
We will be having this same argument about Jose Urena?
-
Not really. When Anderson was 21, he was ranked #17 by both BA and MLB.com. At the same age, Casas was ranked #44 by BA and #47 by MLB.com. I'd say there was Anderson hype, especially among the prospect evaluating community. (Remember when soxprospects.com used to have the MLB Comparison for prosepcts? They listed Anderson's comp as former AL MVP Justin Morneau.)
-
Heck they extended Matt Moore after 2 starts. And Longoria signed his first extension with the Rays after one week in MLB...
-
Well, right now the only other candidates are Jayce Tingler and Mike Shildt. And frankly, I think Shildt would be a more sought-after candidate. At least his team made the post-season....
-
Corey Seager and his left-handed bat might be a better fit...
-
I have heard a few talking heads talk about how pitchers also threw less pitches been as recently as 20 years ago, so it's also probably true for Drysdale and his era. We do now a lot fewer of them threw 95 mph back then. Bob Feller reportedly threw 98mph as his average fastball. That was considered freakish. Today, it makes him Nathan Eovaldi. Or Gerrit Cole. Or Jake deGrom. Or Tyler Glasnow. (Point being, while elite, it is no longer freakish.) If a pitcher like Drysdale played today, would he be capable of throwing 25 complete games (ignoring obvious strategy changes that would prohibit it)?
