    So what is a #2 starter?
  2. notin
    A reasonable way to look at #2 or #3 pitchers!! Are there even 30 better than Gray?
  3. notin
    Some numbers going the wrong way, some not. But the only one that scares me of the one mentioned earlier - age.
  4. notin
    By what metric? If you’re using fWAR, the drop from 3.8 to 3.6 really doesn’t indicate decline…
  5. notin
    He is 36. The 2 year downward trend is arguable in many cases…
  6. notin
    Of course teams see different from fans. Do people think teams use undefined terms like #2 starter?
  7. notin
    On many metrics, Gray is closer to Crochet than Bello…

    What I meant is, FIP didnt neutralize ballparks abd has nothing in it for ballpark factors. But I do disagree that ballparks make pitchers better or worse. If you’re a good pitcher because of Petco, youre probably not a good pitcher. ERA+ or ERA- are both better than ERA, as both are park-adjusted to neutralize effects of the ballpark…

    Or in old Memorial Stadium if Cal Ripken was on an errorless streak…
  10. notin
    It does not. xFIP normalizes the HR rate to neutralize ballpark effects…

    On Fitts, he was the talk of ST but he got hurt before he could prove anything…
  12. notin
    Actually, they’re opinions…
  13. notin
    It feels likely. We shall see but I think they will to move on while dealing him for something useful…
  14. notin
    Not if fWAR stands for Weight Above Replacement…

    Casas is frustrating but he can hit. I’m hoping he isnt first option at 1b, but he’s ahead of Campbell. If Campbell isn’t traded, he likely heads to Worcester, plays LF, and waits for the right injury. Not sure what this whole “wrinkle” in the plans is…

    Actually the Brewers are paying Woodruff $32mill tjis year. Prior to accepting a QO, Woodruff declined a mutual option and accepted a $10mill buyout. All the more reason they would prefer moving him over Peralta…

    Oscar. A bit of a hot dog, but every kid wants to be like him…

    So… Alonso and Realmuto?
  19. notin
    I think Bregman moves on. Alonso will be cheaper than Bregman and a better fit than Schwarber. The Sox will then get another INF for 2b or 3b and add another SO, most likely through trades involving Duran and Bello…

    I didn’t know it was moon that made that call. I say it isn’t their last pitcher. And if we both worked in the Sox FO, I would outrank moon. For the record, it’s still November. Lots and lots of things can happen between now and March…

    So you’re not high on Sandoval?
  22. notin
    So the “complimentary piece” is the most expensive one? Also the Sox were right to walk away from Ryan last year. I’d rather have Tolle…
  23. notin
    I didn’t comment about Framber’s pitching; I said he’s an *******. Because he is. Tell me where the Sox said Gray was their #2.
  24. notin
    Ok what’s wrong with Bregman? There are definite pros to signing Bregman, since the second tier 1b options are better than the second tier options at other INF positions. He will also very likely cost more than Alonso or Schwarber, which should make all those fans who demand Henry soend more as happy…
  25. notin
    1. Where did the Sox say “this is our #2”? 2. You’re avoiding why you thought Cease was a much better option. 3. By naming options, you’ve set yourself up to complain about any other pitcher the Sox acquired, save two. 4. Framber Valdez is an a-hole and needs to be avoided at all costs…
