If the Sox can get Castillo and hold on to those 3, they should do it today. I struggle to imagine how they would be able to do that, however. Unless they are dealing Houck...
-
He got off to a slow start. His ERA at the end of May was 7.22. For the last 135 IP of the season, his ERA was 2.73...
-
Heaney is another one where the question was never really about talent. He just can't stay on the field...
-
$8.5mill should translate to about $500K per IP…
-
Did mvp recommend Escobar? If so, I’m off Escobar now…
-
You ever try catching anything with one of those cold, solid, heavy and completely inflexible Gold Gloves on your hand?
-
Your name now makes you look like a Cardinals’ fan…
-
1 year / $8.5 mill. Free agency has officially begun!!!
-
But my point is Knebel is always hurt. Let him go to the Yankees, who like to sign oft-injured players and then gripe about how unlucky they are when these players get hurt. Knebel has 38 IP in the past 3 seasons. He does get hurt a lot. Sox might as well avoid..
-
And did so without Yadier Molina getting one…
-
Why Knebel? He’s just another repeated arm problem. I do think Graveman is a good target. Most pundits seem to think Semien is the 2b target. Both you and Soxprosoects.com think Iglesias is. No one seems to like Eduardo Escobar. But the guy has a 108 OPS+ and positive (although probably useless) defensive metrics at 2b, and has seriou switch/hitting power. And his last contract was only 3 years / $21mill, the total value here is probably less than the AAV for a contract that lands Semien…
-
Exactly. I don’t think he belongs much back, and even at $7mill, his home runs and outfield assists are worth it
-
I really don’t think the Sox are going to get rid of Renfroe just because he has a bad week against the Astros. Especially since hitting better in the postseason isn’t necessarily an actual skill you can count on. Even David Ortiz had bad postseason series sometimes…
-
So you want the Yankees to sign Rodon? Sure, keep up the recent strategy of signing pitchers who get hurt all the time. Is there a big fear that Taillon and Kluber got lonely on the IL?
-
.. which will make him one of the best offseason additions any defending champion ever made...
-
He's been in the organization for 5 years and has 126 career IP in the minors. Yes, he is a relief pitcher, but that is still not s lot of pitching to evaluate anybody. Plenty of MLB relievers start in the minors and rack up actual IP so people have a clue how good or bad they are...

Will the Sox give Eduardo Rodriguez a Qualifying Offer?

I think his very low IP total was also a factor. It's hard to be as good as a replacement player when you're the guy getting replaced... -
They already spent a ton on Freeman, who just completed an 8 year $135mill deal for them. He's 31 years old, and while he probably has a few good years left, it also will matter heavily how many years he demands...

I think those relievers have 0 value because they are not projected to rack up fWAR at a greater pace than their salary increase. Especially Braiser, who is not exactly 25 anymore and could experience some decline in his 30s on some projection models... -
Three to five, with those guys as my choices. Of course, Bloom will probably protect a player or two I never considered...
-
What about Ronald Acuna? Senor Atlanta?
-
Actually, he might wind up in New York. The Yankees need lefty bats and have the off/on/injured Luke Voit at 1B. If they cannot add Seager at SS, they just lost Rizzo to free agency and are not exactly strangers to grabbing former NL MVPs at high prices...
-
I think I'd keep Santos over Feltman, who's barely pitched in the minors and would be a real project for a claiming team and who has simply not lived up to his pre-draft hype....
-
I see you demoted Crawford. I had him as a "no way" but you made a decent argument for him. Sp "Probable" is fine with me. Now maybe they protect Ward. Myself, I put him in the "No f***ing Way" category. But we'll see how Bloom feels. I think I would feel much, much differently if he was going to pitch before August this season, assuming he pitches at all...

Exactly. If a player has 4 years left, and is projected to be worth 12 fWAR over that timeframe, and each fWAR is valued at $8mill. And his projected salary is, say, $1mill for the first year, $6mill in the second, $9mill in the third, and $12mill in the 4th of those 4 years. Then his surplus trade value is (12 * $8mill) - ($1mill + $6mill + $9mill + $12 mill) or $96mill - $28mill, giving him a final surplus value of $68mill. Their system is a little more complicated, but those are the basics of it... And as those performance projections change, and those salary projections change, and as those years pass, they need to be updated accordingly.
