    But he is going to make Fenway look like T-Ball!! I certainly hope the OP was not referring to his defense with that comment...
  2. notin
    And the Rays. It's not like replacing Snell with Archer kept them atop the division...

    We probably should be fair and point out that the reason for German's lower IP is in a very different class than that of the reduced totals for Kluber, Taillon, Montogomery, and Severino. Unless you think German is incorrigible and will be a repeat offender, which is certainly possible. Not like we know the guy...

    .. which is why a DFA of Brice is unlikely. They'll try to keep the depth by demoting someone with options and then to clear a spot, probably DFA the pitcher they feel is most likely to clear waivers, like they did with Hall and Weber...

    Valdez has options. And Springs isn’t needed...

    The only thing is Walker’s favor over the others is age. But for a team already missing Sale and hoping to count on Eovaldi and Richards, Walker is not a good idea. Now Porcello might be a good idea. And as it looks now, can probably be had for next to nothing. Oh and had his best season in Boston...

    Not sure why Bloom is looking to import a Japanese pitcher. I guess this Sawamura is a potential closer/reliever, as he has closed in Japan. His B-R page is incomplete...

    Teheran’s velocity is down “senior on a highway” levels
  9. notin
    Yes. Too many found memories of Scott Downs...

    The thing is, if the Sox are really building for 2022, why wait? Their window is primarily built on Sale. So waiting too long is a bad, bad thing...

    But that’s his best selling point!!
  12. notin
    So? Your responses are no longer making sense and one gets the impression you’re just trying to aggravate people. Last year, Ryan Weber started the third game of the season. His status has changed. This was painfully clear in the response. It’s like someone asking “are the Mariners ok in CF?” And you’re response “yes, they have the reigning rookie of the year in Kyle Lewis.” And then the person comes back with “but they kept Braden Bishop for a reason”...

    With the Mets’ signing of Albert Almora, are they still contenders for Bradley? If not, who are his remaining suitors?
  14. notin
    Big deal. Until he crosses it, it might as well be a firm mandate. And what does “not a firm mandate” mean anyway? That it was a polite request? As in John Henry saying “Chaim, I’m not telling you how to do your job, but I want you to know that I specifically will NOT be telling you to stay under the limit, whether you think it’s good for your career or not.”

    Not sure why Casas, Downs and Duran are the three players the Sox should be tanking seasons to wait for the arrival of. Chances are they’re average at best, and it’s always possible some or all 3 just don’t pan out...
  16. notin
    Added ERod, Richards, Sale (partial), Pivetta. Subtracted Godley, Weber, Mazza, Brewer (yes he was 6th on the Sox in starts last year), Hart, etc...

    I don’t see the Sox taking a chance on Bryant, who 1) makes $18mill 2) has ONE YEAR until free agency 3) is repped by Scott Boras 4) isn’t signing an extension because this is a player/agent combination that tried to sue the Cubs over service time manipulation and 5) cannot pitch...
  18. notin
    Does that include some Sale and how much?
  19. notin
    Globe Life Park in Arlington (as well as Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago) is actually more home run friendly than Fenway. And a pull-hitting Mazara (28.1% the other way does not make him much of an opposite field hitter) would probably lose home runs in the cavernous RF at Fenway, especially since he is not a power hitter. He’s a league average hitter and league average fielder. He was not non-tendered by one team and traded away for a minor leaguer by another all by the age of 25 because he is loaded with talent and potential. But he is 25 and might turn it around. And the Sox could do worse...
  20. notin
    What about for both Trevor Rosenthal and Keone Kela?
  21. notin
    The Yanks are tops at everything? Must be Spring Training again...
  22. notin
    While technically Mazara’s .589 OPS is an upgrade over Benintendi’s .442 from last year, it’s not something worth getting excited about...
  23. notin
    League average hitter and league average fielder. Not the most exciting choice, but the Sox could do worse. His .781 OPS vs RHP is not ideal platoon material....
  24. notin
    Is it that different between going over for Price as opposed to going over for Odorizzi?
  25. notin
    Maybe the Sox should deal for Price and have LA pay a portion of what is left on the deal. Already for committed for half, so he does represent a cheap upgrade at this point...
