See, this is how Cordero hits when facing pitchers who can’t afford sticky stuff…
-
I used Baseball Reference. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mieses000joh&type=bgl&year=2021 And I see the issue. It counted his Portland games…
-
After mild reflection, if I’m the Sox GM, dealing Dalbec and Mata for Mancini is a deal I would make. If I’m the Baltimore GM, Mata’s health issues and recent surgery would give me pause. Now if I’m the Baltimore GM, I would be all for a Downs/Mancini swap…
-
Mvp is proposing a trade for Trey Mancini, who would replace Dalbec…
-
What if Bloom countered with Dalbec and Bello? Doesn’t work well on BTV, but Bello is the hot name right now. Or if they countered with Mancini for Downs?
-
With Kimbrel, we’ve gone past the phase of his career where it’s just about talent. He is on right now, but he hasn’t really been on since the first half off 2018. I get why the Sox let him go and I can’t call it a mistake because he returned to form 3 years later…
-
Plus they have to pay Marwin more if they DFA him…
-
The health status should be a big deal for Baltimore. I do think that any team can be one year from competing if they make the right moves. Every year, some team or teams just manage to markedly improve despite what we all think of them in March. After all, Boston is doing just that right now. As is San Francisco and the Cubs. The Orioles probably have a similar mindset all winter…
-
As much as I like Mata, no team is giving up a young future star for him….
-
So if you’re the GM of the Orioles, do you pull the trigger, knowing what you know about Mata?
-
Absolutely. I’m still of the mindset that the Sox desperately need pitching prospects. And while true, it doesn’t mean any or all of the ones they have will ever amount to much…
-
At first glance, this trade does look very fair. BTV loves it, giving Mancini a surplus value of 20.7 and the Dalbec/Mata package a value of 21.5. It’s a good trade short term. Giving up Mata would be tough here, however. It’s certainly one that would make me hesitate, but not decline outright. And really, that should be the case with every fair trade. Well done…
-
Can the Sox really afford less pitching depth?
-
Does this case involve showing no love for Carlos Quintana?
-
Or until August 1, after we re-acquire Mitchie Two-Bags….
-
I am not sure that was the intention...
-
Fair enough. Of the two, I actually have more faith in Cordero long term But neither of these guys looks like a guy any team should anchor themselves to...
-
Vaughn only played 2+ seasons in the minors. Now Hall of Famer Wade Boggs was a player truly stuck in the minors, and even he only got called up not because he was crushing MiLB pitching for the previous 6 years, but rather because the extremely bland Dave Stapleton got injured...
-
Yes, an injury was the worst, although that becomes independent of how the team is doing and will always be a risk. The bottom line is, if he flopped, there was no real pressure. Unless you like the argument that he did ruin their 2021 draft by winning 3 games and therefore giving the Sox a better record than both the Tigers and Rangers
-
Another Polar Product? Home: .333/.420/.850/1.270 Road: .246/.324/.508/.832 .832 is certainly not a bad road OPS, but so far he looks like too many other Worcester guys who are stat-padding at home...
-
Houck was also helped by the fact that the team was going nowhere when they called him up. What was the worst that could happen? We sink further into last place?
-
Which leaves the question - does Dalbec deserve more leeway than Cordero? Cordero is only 9 months older, but is already considered washed up by many Sox fans...
-
I don't think Bob Feller is the benchmark for player development. Duran will get a shot at some point this year, but so far he has yet to do anything franchy Cordero has not done in the minors either, And Cordero did not dazzle. Not to mention, Duran's minor league career prior to 2021 was not exactly a stellar one. He wasn't Vlad Guerrero or Mike Trout down there shredding every level. He has had a good stretch of 40 or so games, and one that is heavily supported by excelling in the same stadium that make Danny Santana look like Babe Ruth...
-
Me neither. If players cannot handle better competition, then MLB was never a big part of their future...
-
Plus the double standard of counting seats when we like the player. Santana had a 1.372 OPS in Worcester. DFA him!! Cordero has a 1.172 OPS in Worcester. He was no good in Boston!! Duran has a 1.006 OPS in Worcester. Future star!!!
