    Ooh!! Ooh!! I know! I know! Cease is a #2 because he was signed by a team other than the Red Sox. Gray is not a #2 because he was acquired by the Red Sox…

    Not what those numbers really mean. ERA is per 9 IP, not game. But more important, it depends on defense and ballpark and more than just pitcher ability. With FIP (fielding independent pitching) Gray was 11th in MLB with a 3.39 and 7th in xFIP with a 3.07…

    Gray was 7th in MLB in xFIP last year and 11th in FIP. Up there with all the big boys. He’s an upgrade over Giolito…

    Technically they haven’t lost Bassett yet. He still could re-sign…

    That’s about as vague a definition as can be. I mean, I do at least give you credit for answering. Gray was 7th in MLB in xFIP last year, trailing only Crochet, Skubal, Cristopher Sánchez, Logan Webb, Skenes, and Yamamoto. That’s not “fairly good” very consistently? Are only the top 6 considered #2 or better? The more I look at Gray, the better I realize he is…

    I’ve seen worse, including one with a similar name. And one back on another site with Bigfoot in his name who ranted incessantly about how Theo “Guitar Boy” Epstein had ruined the Sox, and he kept this going through the 2007 World Series. I’m hoping he was a casual fan with a satirical alter ego…

    So you didn’t question the hyperbolic implication that Dylan Cease was a mediocre pitcher? I can’t decide if you have either unrealistic standards or just complain about every Sox move that doesn’t involve a perennial All Star. So let’s start with the basics - what exactly is a “#2 starter”? I ask this a lot; very few answer…

    Doubtful Seager is either…
  9. notin
    Well at least they didn’t saddle us with a mediocre SP for 7 years like Toronto did with Dylan Cease and his 4.55 ERA…

    The Sox have 12 starting pitchers on the 40 man roster, not counting Houck or Criswell. They have the depth to handle question marks. Im willing to bet Crawford is an option

    Errors are overrated. Just given out based on some guy’s opinion. The argument for keeping Duran is he has most definitely proved his effectiveness as a leadoff hitter in a way Abreu cannot duplicate…

    The Betts trade was just payback for sticking them with Crawford and Beckett. Also Dave Roberts was certainly more useful than Henry Stanley…

    Reportedly they’re looking into Ketel Marte. Slide defensive whiz Andres Gimenez back to short where he belongs and they’re good…

    Crawford and Dobbins…

    And Roman would have been an addition, but Devers chose the Path of Entitlement. Barring any huge deals, the Sox are likely to add two players, most likely infielders. These “We’ve Got To Replace” lists have gotten out of hand and it seems like too many have forgotten this was never a stacked offense. “We’ve got to replace Bregman. And Duran. And Devers. And Casas. But starting Casas replace Casas!”8 It’s like Anthony and Mayer and a few others were never seriously considered teammates. The Sox need two infielders. They may make improvements beyond that, but the NEED is too infielders, including one first baseman.”

    He should probably stop pinching himself. It’s clearly affecting his game. The sad part for the Padres is that contract is the fault of Trea Turner’s wife…

    San Diego is reportedly looking to shed contracts, but more likely the ones attached to Cronenworth, Musgrove, Darvish, and quite possibly Bogaerts.

    And Houck comes back! Like sands in the hourglass, so go the days of our lives…

    Anyone saying Breslow is done or isn’t done at this point in the off-season is looking for ratings or hits. I have no idea what Breslow’s offseason plan is, but I do know he’s going to be flexible based on what other teams do, what offers they make, what players they make available, and what trade offers he receives, if any. Not to mention, what happens if his own players get hurt. He might focus on offense for a while. But that does mean he’s all done with pitching and will not be reactive
  20. notin
    Because he gave up a guy that can hit AA pitching?

    The Mets desperately need SP and are making Sengai available? Buyer beware!

    The reality is 2020 was the outlier. 2021 was largely still the 2018-19 team. The Sox had a good run from 2016 to 2021, and then a bad 3 year stretch of mediocrity…

    Anything to back that up? Before trading Devers, their biggest move Sox scored 355 run in 73 games, an average of 4.86 RPG. After trading Devers, their biggest move Sox scored 431 runs in 89 games, or 4.84 RPG. That difference of 1 run every 50 games is inconsequential. Sure, Roman Anthony was a huge factor, but that means they’ve already replaced Devers and not that they still need to…

    I did take out 2025. I looked at 2020-2024, the 5 years before 2025. But 2020 was an abbreviated season with no real effort. It doesn’t reveal much…

    353-355 with an ALCS appearance. Take out 2020 and they were 329-319 with an ALCS appearance in the previous four…
