Too Italian…

I have no idea what financial constraints Henry has put on Bloom, but we do know Henry is not very patient with teams that simply don't win. If he was, Cherington might still be the GM. These "tricky times" still have the Sox, amidst a "rebuild/reload" reaching the ALCS. It's extremely doubtful the team is going to double back and decide that because they are in the same division as Wander Franco and Bo Bichette, that the team needs to build the farm and wait this out. Now, I have no idea of Bloom will be handed the corporate credit card and given free reign, but I do have serious doubts he will do anything except try to improve on reaching the ALCS...

So the former Blue Jay scout is prioritizing the former Blue Jay pitcher? To be fair, I doubt that means anything. Stroman is certainly not a bad choice, but I just like ERod better, and I think ERod will be easier to sign (assuming he gets a QO). But I will give Stroman credit because at least he knows how to cover first base...

It's probably my second most frequent typo. My most frequent is "becasue", but that one at least gets caught by spell check software...
-
Do large market teams really ever decide that they won't try to be competitive because another team in their division might be good? That seems like a foolish strategy, since it's not like you know they are going to be a lesser squad 2-3 years down the road...
-
It is. But I will give MLB umps credit for being faster than NFL refs. I do think the whole baserunning thing is just going too far, although I have my doubts it will ever be addressed...
-
Well, actually, yes. I mean, as long as we are suing unsupported counterarguments...
-
He's not much different of a hitter than Schwarber and JD, at least over the last 3 years...
-
At this point, you're spanning 5 seasons. Not many pitchers are the same pitcher they were 5 years ago. Frankly. I felt using 3 seasons and 4 years was pushing it...
-
But it is still a reason to avoid him. Stroman is a lesser pitcher than ERod. Offer ERod the QO and, if possible, extend him. Once ERod gets the QO, his value is less to other teams as they lose a drat pick, unlike the Sox. Stroman does have the advantage of no QO attached, so his appeal will already be universal among teams that can afford him...

Nick Castellanos has opted out of his deal with the Reds. does this put him in the DH argument if JD does opt out? Last 3 seasons: Castellanos: (30 on opening day): OPS+ 124 Martinez (34 on opening day): OPS+ 125 Schwarber (29 on opening day): OPS+ 126
-
Stroman is not better at all. For their last 3 seasons (both pitchers missed 2020). Stroman: 8.1 bWAR/8.8fWAR Rodriguez: 10.9 bWAR/9.6 fWAR I'll take ERod over Stroman...

This is entering a slippery slope argument. The bottom line is we all want the games to be called correctly and fairly. And just because this cannot necessarily be done for every type of call doesn't mean it shouldn't be done for any type of call. It doesn't have to be 100% or nothing. The fact that baseball limited implemented instant replay to correct egregious calls and did so without implementing automated balls and strikes should dispel these types of arguments...

I don't think the NL was underrated by AL fans. This board is largely populated by AL fans who mostly assumed the Dodgers were going to take the title almost unchallenged...
-
Or because he receives other offers in the 6 year range...
-
I'm not so sure I like the idea of moving Renfroe to accommodate Marte. Marte's 5.4 fWAR season looks like an aberration and he will most definitely be looking for multiyear deal...
-
He's the best value out there, but tht operates on the assumption that he will do something he has always struggled to do - namely stay on the field...
-
But will it be the longest offer he gets?
-
I'm leaning towards poorly, with potential for disastrously...
-
Better than Rodon?
-
So the Marlins are expected to dole out a $340mill/10 year deal? Let me guess on the backloading. $5mill per for the first 8 years and then the final 2 years at $150mill each…
-
And that call can still be reviewable. It's not even remotely the same call as the runner stealing second and breaking contact for a fraction of a second...

For those who still love Scherzer

Unless they were referring to the noise level emitted by the pen during the process...
