How will the regular season end for the 2021 Boston Red Sox
notin replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
As George Will famously said, "the beauty of being a pessimist is you're constantly either proven right or pleasantly surprised." -
Buston Posey has averaged over 5 fWAR for the past 10 years (or, 9 years, as he sat out 2020). Of course, Posey has not actually had a 5 fWAR season since 2016. And of course, the Giants have still been paying him to be a 5 fWAR catcher that entire time. Those long term contracts do have a built in back end of potentially extremely subpar performance. And everyone is willing to live with them until they get here...
-
It's one thing to have a great roster. But only the manager has to juggle the day-to-day impact of various injuries...
-
4 fWAR for $30mill? Nicky Lopez was worth 4.4 fWAR this year, Should he get $30mill, too?
-
Not if the guy behind him can put up 3 fWAR and playing through the injury hampers him next season...
-
In a more interesting question, Nathan Eovaldi leads all AL pitcher in fWAR. But at 11-9 with a 3.75 ERA, does he get even a single Cy Young vote?
-
If Cora doesn't get MOY - and I can certainly see Cash getting it - it won't bother me one bit...
-
And we didn't respect their opinions either...
-
I was going to say something to that exact effect, but I felt it was a bit harsh...
-
As many feel the same about Barnes and Richards, the best be that the Sox play an awful lot of meaningless innings late in games from here on out…
-
He said something similar before 2018 as well. When it comes to prognostication, he’s far, far short of the foretelling abilities of the Magic 8 Ball…
-
Vaz' option will be picked up. Book it...
-
With an off-day tomorrow, he will be ready for Tuesday..
-
And Bogaerts ends anther inning. 4 for 30 since the Mets’ series…
-
Me…
-
The choice of refusing the option and signing him for less probably means signing him for longer. Net $8.5 mill for one more year might be safer than 3 years $21 mill. It might be the worse choice as well, but that can only be determined over time…
-
Then it comes down to what can you replace him with for $8.5 mill. The premier closer on the free agent market might be Rasiel Iglesias (unless you prefer older, aging and oft-injured pitchers like Kenley Jansen and Dellin Betances). Think Iglesias signs for less? Kimbrel got 3 years $43mill at Iglesias’ age. That might be a bit of a lofty goal for Rasiel, but I do think he gets more than $8.5 mill and certainly more than one year…
-
Some guy named Jose Rojas homered for the Angels to tie that game at 1-1 in the fifth…
-
Yeah it was terrible how Ottavino let Renfroe completely misplay that flyball…
-
Maybe for 4 innings, 5 max….
-
Toronto pounding on Baltimore in the fashion the Sox should have…
-
At least he FINALLY abandoned his pretense of being a Sox fan in his last post…
-
And it might be best to not use him the next two games. But it certainly makes sense, whereas an undisclosed injury or malady would make Cora look stupid for using him…
-
It’s also possible he is just worn out after having throwing 134 innings this year, the most he’s thrown since 2015 and about as many as the last 3 seasons combined…
-
And is one win short of the 2016 and 2017 seasons…
