Yankees should target IKF. He’s a very good player with no place to play in Texas. (He also absolutely crushed Sox pitching last year with a 1.314 OPS.) Yankees have several options viewed as equal on BTV, and Texas might bite at any one of them…

Bloom asleep at the wheel again…

Kimbrel won’t help the bullpen if he pitches like he did for the White Sox…

BN I’m not so sure. The QB/WR relationship only results in maybe 10-15 plays in a game at its biggest. And sometimes less than 5 plays. Pitchers throw to catchers upwards of 100 times very frequently. The real difference is in the ensuing action. A QB/WR relationship is viewed as successful with every completion, as these ultimately drive the ball down enter field. But the pitcher-catcher relationship actually works best when the ball isn’t put in play, or is put in play weakly. The lack of ensuing action often makes the relationship look rather bland and uneventful and therefore inconsequential. But, unlike wide receivers, catchers are far more involved in the action, frequently calling pitch sequences for both type of pitch and location. Wide receivers have no such equivalent input…

Wasn’t RHP Rick Reed also a strikebreaker? In Sox lore, I believe then-Met Reed was the first pitcher to launch Carl Everett into an on-field tantrum in a Sox uniform and thus starting his meteoric descent with the team. Am I remembering anything wrong here?

Nomar Mazara would make Fenway look like T ball

Whoops. Those were Rusney’s stats… -
Guilty. Overall, who was the better left fielder? Yaz or Williams? (I left Williams out because I wasn’t using anyone mvp picked, which was my choice.)

The only rule was one player per decade. Not re-using names was my own unofficial addition…

Surprised no other entries 40s Birdie Tebbetts C 50s Jimmy Piersall CF 60s Frank Malzone 3b 70s Jim Rice LF 80s Don Baylor DH 90s Trot Nixon RF 00s Mark Loretta 2b 10s Mike Napoli 1b 20s Xander Bogaerts SS I challenge any of you to make a better one…

It was a sequel to the first slasher movie “1904”…

Well, back in 1994 they made a different version of the movie…

He also projects for 24 DRS in 1200 innings in the field. Bradley never topped 16 DRS in any season. Can you live with a .600 OPS with that type of defense? -
40s DiMaggio CF 50s Jensen RF 60s Yastrzemski LF 70s Burleson SS 80s Boggs 3b 90s Pedroia 2b 00s Varitek C 10s Martinez DH 20s Casas 1b I didn’t want to repeat any of your players. The 20s is a bit of a projection, I assume, given that the team has only played 220 games so far…

I imagine the fact that JBJ couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat back then also figured into it. It was also about that time the Sox moved Betts to the outfield, originally in center. So was it about “not losing out”? Or about finding a CF? Or maybe both?
-
Either the other team wanted the Sox to pay a huge chunk or take a bad (possibly worse) contract back…

Nearly 20 years later, and we still call it “closer by committee” and not the more accurate and less exciting name “closer by Chad Fox.”…

I was down in St. Pete a couple months ago and saw that Stadium for the first time. The way it gets talked about, I thought it was out in the middle of nowhere Florida. It’s right the highway!! I’m not saying that makes it ideal, but I do wonder what gives it the bad reputation…
-
They kept him down because they had an elite outfield with Benintendi, Bradley and Betts and did not want to pay that much for a fourth outfielder for tax reasons. It probably didn’t help that Dombrowski was never a fan of Castillo. His salary was a huge factor in keeping him down, but he was good enough to play in MLB…

Is that true? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-2019-ken-phelps-all-star-team-position-players-part-1/

Rusney did turn out to be a bust, but it really would have been nice to see him stay healthy and play an actual season. The guy was credited with 17 DRS in just 793 innings. For some perspective, last year’s MLB leaders (Michael Taylor and Adam Duvall) were credited with 19 DRS in over 1100 innings. A healthy Rusney could easily have been one of the best defensive outfielders in MLB…

Succeeding in a small market with a little budget is very often a stepping stone to getting a large market/large budget job. Friedman is one example. Closer to home, it was why the Sox hired Dan Duquette and almost hired Billy Beane…
-
Of course the Tampa Style blueprint does often involve extending players ridiculously early in their careers, something they did with not only Franco, but also Evan Longoria and Matt Moore…
-
To be fair, Bloom really didn’t have a chance this possession yet. The Sox - and really, most of the top tier payroll teams - didn’t spend much, probably because they wanted to wait and see what the implications were…
-
Yes. Hence the “stand alone” question…

Is it still around as a stand-alone entity? How does its success compare to the NFL?
