    Maybe but he certainly does have power. I saw him hit the longest home run to center field Ive ever seen at Wrigley. Hes not much of a 3b. If he was, a Casas/Vientos swap might make more sense…

    It is? Who does that? I keep hearing year after year teams are getting away from having full time DHs. Yet Ohtani, Schwarber, Yordan Alvarez, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Brent Rooker, Seiya Suzuki, Hunter Goodman, Ivan Herrera, and Chritian Yelich all exist…

    I don’t think he is unique among owners that way, either …

    Actually not true. Most actual trades fit their model. Probably because teams all use something similar. It’s a simple model of projections (I’m guessing in fWAR) vs salary. You don’t think teams use that stuff or something similar when making trades? And I’ve thrown a few out there that have actually happened in real life. I’m sure I’m not alone among their users able to make that claim. But more important, it’s just a forum where people comment on the posted proposals, much like this. Are forums only supposed to exist that have real world impact? Exactly what have you said on this forum that’s altered the course of the Red Sox? Or me? Or any of us?

    No. They plan to clone Corbin Carroll this off-season. The newly fertilized embryos should be ready to join the original in the Arizona outfield by opening day. Opening Day, 2048, that is…

    Duran started every game but he was worse vs LHP than Abreu, only hit .233 in September, and doesn’t contribute defensively as well. It was a bad call by Cora…
  7. notin
    Abreu hit LHP better than Duran and close to Eaton. Your brief summary of his at-bats more proves my point - that he needed more at bats, especially in that stadium
  8. notin
    You can’t go start lower than the CBO. Why did Abreu only get 5 ABs? Sogard, Refsnyder and Romy. GG outfielder, second on the team in home runs and Hes in the lineup less than the bench bats. And I don’t want to hear the “Yankees started two lefties.” Duran started against them and was worse than Abreu vs LHP. Eaton’s OPS vs LHP didn’t justify a platoon with Abreu either. It was a bad decision made multiple times…

    Especially since Cole quit on the Yankees before the season even started…

    Unless he was too busy whining to the press. The Sox had a few injuries that postseason, and we all know how much Raffy hates being asked to pitch in and help his own team..
  11. notin
    Point?
  12. notin
    Some starters struggle I every postseason series. But you can’t get 1/3 of your PT from bench players and assume that was full strength…
  13. notin
    I think a lot of people upset about the postseason seem to have forgotten that 32 the Sox 96 postseason at bats went to Eaton, Romy, Refsnyder, Lowe and Sogard, who combined to produce only 6 hits…
  14. notin
    Oh he was trying to trash Refsnyder until we all said good things so he jumped on that bandwagon instead…
  15. notin
    Doesn’t matter who said it. Eaton’s splits are nothing impressive and he lacks the same skillset as Refsnyder. Now Eaton does possess some skills Refsnyder is sorely lacking, like fielding, throwing, running. If Cora prefers Eaton’s over Refsnyder, I can understand it if it’s for those skills. But not it it’s about splits…

    Because the weather never changes. ”It’s going to be unbearably hot and unbearably humid, but on the bright side at 4pm there will be a torrential downpour that makes you think it’s time to gather two of every animal, but you will only get cats ready by the time it ends at 4:05. “Also, as we go thru this everyday, do I have to keep telling you to stop gathering cats that have been fixed?”
  17. notin
    Ummm yes it is. All those would do is make a fatter Papi. The only cure for aging is death…
  18. notin
    The splits that gave Eaton a .673 OPS vs LHP? I mean, he did come within .300 points of Refsnyder, so there is that…
  19. notin
    So you’re saying the 2026 Sox DH candidates should do better than Bog Papi? I can agree with that since he’s like 50 years old…
  20. notin
    Because I f***ing wanted to. I said they are an upgrade over the DHs the Sox had for the last 90 games. I didn’t know I had to supply a reason WHY I made that statement as well…
  21. notin
    You eliminated the part about the last 90 games, which I assumed most would interpret to mean “after Devers”, and not “hey let’s include Devers anyway” After Devers was traded, Boston.’s DHs put up a wRC+ of 96 with 9 HRs and 44 RBI. So yes, I stand by that…
  22. notin
    I was saying that just the other day to my local weather man…

    I think the goal is one big trade. The focus has been for Duran, but they haven’t apparently had any worthy offers. And really, I haven’t heard any bad offers, just team interested and the occasional clickbait from a clueless writer. Now watch them go and deal Rafaela instead…
  24. notin
    Straining? It’s easy. I have several reasons to think the Sox stay on a budget. They include 2021, 2022, 2023. I also don’t buy into “replace Player X” when looked at in a vacuum. 2025 vs 2026 to date C: Narvaez vs Narvaez. I could see getting a better catcher. Sox have been rumored to be in on a few. But for now - status quo 1b - Abraham Toro v Willson Contreras. Toro lead the team in PAs from 1b. The Sox have upgraded. SS - Story vs Story. We will leave him at SS for now and call it status quo. OF - Duran/Rafaela/Abreu vs, hmmm let’s say Anthony/Rafaela/Abreu. It’s close. 2026 probably gets a slight edge DH: Devers vs Yoshida. Devers is better but Yoshida is a good hitter. Plus at some point I expect Casas and Romy in the mix. While no Devers, that trio is probably an upgrade over the last 90 games from the Sox. 2b or 3b is a mystery for 2026. If they get Marte, the lineup is pribably better. A lot does depend on a Duran trade…

    Pitching depth can disappear rapidly….
