    Then why poo poo a Gold Glove 5 bWAR second baseman on the basis of home runs?
  2. notin
    If all you’re worried about is home runs, Bregman only hit 18 last year. Sign Eugenio Suarez since he hit twice as many and in bigger ballparks…
  3. notin
    I had no idea the only 3 players in MLB that fit the Sox needs were Bregman, Alonso and Ketel Marte…
  4. notin
    Well, either Nico Hoerner or Matt Shaw are now available…
  5. notin
    Only a $5mill drop in AAV for Bregman.
  6. notin
    Yeah!! Stupid conspiracy theories!!

    See, all I needed was wRC. I had no idea what you had then ranked..
  8. notin
    #36 at what? How are you ranking them?
  9. notin
    It’s slow and occasionally frustrating, but wrapping up free agency sooner isnt going to get the season here faster. If everyone signed deals and rosters were in place by November 30, what would we talk about until April?

    Oh Thsts plenty
  11. notin
    No but it puts a damper on Skubal’s chances of getting $32mill…
  12. notin
    So… no pitchers? Is Price’s $19.75mill still thr record for pitchers?

    How many injuries has Cole Ragans had?
  16. notin
    A lot of those pundits have no more insight than we do…
  17. notin
    I’m ok with the pitching. But I do think a 2b/3b upgrade over current likely starter David Hamilton would be nice…
  18. notin
    Getting lefty reliever is outdated anyway. Just get a good reliever. The 3 batter minimum rule obsoleted LOOGYs and killed the lefty vs lefty strategies…

    It could just be posturing, but they seem to be talking up Jovani Moran. Now Moran is seriously talented , but is one of those guys who can never put it all together as well as stay healthy…

    Exactly. I don’t expect Hicks to bounce back like Melancon did, but I think he could still be a useful pen arm….
  21. notin
    Really? Couldn’t pitch worse. Hicks has had a decent career as a RP. Last year he began as a starter, so maybe that affected his performance. But bear in mind he only made 21 appearances for Boston, and gave up 1 ER or less in 17 of them. His sample size is relatively small and we’ve seen relievers bounce back before. No one thought we’d miss Brad Keller either. I didn’t say Duran was easier to trade. I said trade Duran was more likely to fill a need. What need can be better filled by trading Hicks?
  22. notin
    1. Trading Duran is far more likely to fill a need. 2. Trading Hicks figures to be far more difficult 3. Trading Hicks could lead to a situation where they need to spend additional money to replace Hicks, cutting even further into any savings from his deal.

    Averages? Is it really true the average team has made 2 postseason appearances in that timeframe? Or does using averages ignore uneven distributions of data? Myself, you and Bill Gates have an average net worth of $37billion USD. Does that properly represent your financial picture? I will fess up it’s not an accurate portrayal of mine…
  24. notin
    The Watson the Sox acquired was the one from the Giants organization that was an Auburn teammate of Richard Fitts. In defense of the author, the two like-named right-handed pitchers are both from southern states, attended division one schools in the south in their home states, and are only 17 months apart in age…

    What exactly is wrong with Gallen and Giolito? Biggest drawback is Gallen (I believe) has a QO attached. I wouldn’t go long term with either, but MLBTR predicted 2 yes $32mill for Giolito. Why wouldn’t Boston do that?
