But if Mookie held a press conference TODAY stating he is giving up baseball immediately and forever in order to dedicate more time to his bowling, does he get into Cooperstown once eligible?
-
Scherzer’s next start?
-
Also wrth noting, Betts 40.2 fWAR through age 27 is less than the career fWAR at age 27 of non-Hall of Famers Andruw Jones and Sherry Magee and just ahead of non-Hall of Famers Cesar Cedeno, Jim Fregosi, and Vada Pinson, and in the neighborhood of Goose Goslin and Ron Santo, both of whom took forever to get into the Hall...

THe bottom line i - if Betts rtired today, would he gt into Cooperstown? I tend to agree with redsoxrules that he wouldn't. No player has gotten into the Hall of Fame at that age except Ross Youngs, and that was because he died at 27. Now if you believe Betts is on track for Cooperstown, a strong argument to support it exists. But then he would not be the first to be on track for Cooperstown and still not make it...

And my grandmother is closer to Baines in fWAR than Baines is to Mike Trout. Baines might not be the best reference point...

Chavis can be demoted. Marwin cannot and would have to be DFAd. I’ve never been big on Marwin Gonzalez, but Danny Santana is not necessarily an improvement. In fact, history suggests he’s a step backwards...

We Hill went 3 no hit innings before Trey Mancini ruined the bid...

Little hard to say when we don't know who is on the list. Obviously he did want Winckowski as well. It's not so unbelievable that the reason Lee was flipped for a PTBNL is that the Sox wanted some extra time to evaluate a few prospects since there was no minor league season in 2020 for a lot of players. I've predicted the prospect he targeted from former second round pick JT Ginn, but as this is Bloom, it's probably someone I have never heard of that Bloom has his own fascination with for some reason.

True. This year on a Dodgers’ schedule, an OPS of .824 translates to an OPS+ of 131. Two years ago, Justin Turner posted an OPS+ of 131 with an OPS of .881...
-
Expecting a .750 OPS from Santana might be a tad optimistic, since he has only topped that number twice in his career - once in his rookie season in 2014 and again in the Juiced Ball 2019 season....
-
It’s Kaleb Ort time!! -
One story is he heard that Mets GM Zack Scott was really high on Lee, so he acquired him for the sole purpose of flipping him to the Mets, presumably for something they had that he liked...
-
I’m sure they saw him play. He’s been scouted to death, like most prospects. He’s struggling now. He was a BA top 100 prospect in 2019, and then didn’t play in 2020 and hasn’t been ranked since. He may never crack anyone’s list again, but that’s the Mets’ problem now. The bottom line for Boston is the Mets wanted him badly enough to give up a PTBNL that Bloom wanted. And this winter, the two teams agreed on a list of candidates. And that list isn’t going to change if Lee flops completely and strikes out in his next 100 at bats. The Sox sold high on a guy they controlled for mere seconds.
-
I would imagine that happens soon. It seems odd for a 1st place team to be counting on Danny Santana to be a savior...
-
And he was/is by every scouting bureau that rates prospects for MLB...
-
Part of the new metrics does involve separating things you can teach a player from things you can't. It doesn't always work, and no method ever will. But some teams prefer the raw tools, knowing it is easier to teach a kid to recognize pitches than it is to teach him to run faster...
-
His stock might fall, but it doesn't impact Boston. The list of potential PTBNLs has been agreed upon for months now...
-
He struggled in ST, too, but let's not forget he didn't play much at all in 2020. Thy're also rushing him due to a rash of OF injuries and very little depth below MLB. I doubt the Sox miss him, but others have struggled early on as well. Yoan Moncada struck out 12 times in his first 19 AB's for Boston. (And yeah, supposedly Lee is a very good defensive player.)
-
It might be possible that the Sox pitching is propped up by playing 10 games against the Orioles, which represents nearly one quarter of their schedule. The Jays have not played any team 10 times yet, with their most frequent opponents being the Braves and the Yankees at 6 games each. Those games represent about 1/3 of their schedule to date. The Braves curretnly rank 10th in MLB in runs scored. The Yankees are a disappointing 17th. But both are scoring more frequently than the Orioles (23rd)...
-
Yes we all knew all of that. Some of us didn’t feel like typing the minute exceptions...
-
As opposed to the controversial dropped third strike rule?
-
So who throws today’s no hitter? I’m thinking Rich Hill...
-
Pitchers gets the K, too. Just no putout for the catcher. If you’re going to challenge any rule about strikeouts, maybe it should be catcher getting the putout. The pitcher is the guy who made it happen...
-
I made a post somewhere we are well on track to seeing a record number of no hitters this year. And then Wade Miley threw one a couple days later. Five and counting in 2021. The record in a single season is seven (1990, 1991, 2015)...

Is there any kind of timetable on Houck?
