Now that prolonged case does say it is a very strong possibility, but the author does come up short of saying he can prove anything. I have no idea if Bauer is cheating or not. All we really know about the guy is his feverish addiction to sabermetrics and advanced stats. I'm just not one to label someone as a cheater without actual proof. Unless it's the Yankees...
-
Not to take anything away from Hazen, who has shown himself to be a pretty good GM himself...
-
I could argue that Munoz and Arroyo are question marks at best, but trending positive. And I think Potts is probably closer to MLB than Downs. But the fact remains the farm is getting stronger which should, in turn. have the same effect on the parent club...
-
With Odor, it can go in either direction or simply maintain the status quo as a high K/high power guy who cannot field. He probably moves to the outfield at some point in the future...
-
Odor is basically Chavis. He hits home runs. He strikes out a lot. He plays below average defense at 2B. His most redeeming quality is that he is still only 26, so he is a little over a year older than Dalbec and Chavis...

I do like Bauer as a pitcher, and he is potentially the Cy Young winner in the NL this year. But he did not go year to year through arbitration so he could undervalue himself. I would expect him to star the bidding at David Price dollars. He might end up getting less, but he will certainly be overpriced. Which I would be ok with if it was only for 3 or 4 years, but if he is looking for 6 or 7, it starts to become a legitimate concern for the Sox....
-
Now if only MLB would comply and make every season 60 games long...
-
I'd be all for that...
-
You have to train them to time their injuries first. I guess Walker is the most predictable of the three. It seems like if he can get out of April, he is free and clear for the rest of the season....
-
I go Stroman there...
-
A rotation with Walker and Eovaldi? Maybe we can get Brett Anderson, too...
-
THe big problem with that deal is having to replace Eovaldi with the savings. It's a deal that made more sense prior to 2020, when the savings at least made it easier to get under the tax limits. The sox are at a point where they not only need to keep Eovaldi, they probably cannot even realistically consider switching him to the bullpen. At least not if they hope to compete in 2021, which, per Tom Werner, they do. That said, now watch something like that deal happen this off-season. After all, this might be a "sell high" opportunity on a pitcher whose problem has never really been the talent...
-
My only thought would be that Bloom was not real high on him and figured trading him to open up the roster spot was the best way to help the pipeline...
-
But our new GM did build the number one farm system on that list...
-
That's pretty much what I have been saying, just more succinctly...
-
They must not have likd him much. I would think if the Sox had a chance of sneaking any pitcher through waivers, Weber would be the guy...
-
True, but Fernandez certainly had the talent to become an all time great. Of all the pitchers ever labeled "The Next Pedro", he was probably the most deserving...
-
In his one championship season there, he built the team with a spending spree of high priced free agents and veterans, and then immediately dismantled it a year later. Typically not what one refers to as a "builder:...
-
Lakins was DFA'd, which really just removes him from the 40 man roster. He was traded before a decision had to be made to reassign him or release him...
-
All of the pitcher we had who were DFA'd were younger than Weber, and at least had the possibility of improving. Weber was 29 and pretty much established himself as what he is.
-
In the "What If" department, would we be calling Trout that if Jose Fernandez had not had his tragic boating accident?
-
They also have Brandon Marsh, who was BA #43 before the 2020 season...
-
His control is so bad sometimes, he creates the distinct possibility of reaching his pitch count limit before the second inning is over...
-
I think nothing Bloom did surprised me more than how every time he needed to DFA a player, he found someone other than Ryan Weber. Granted, we probably won't miss anyone he DFA'd, but I don't think we would have missed Weber either..
-
I like the idea of Devers at 1st and Dalbec at 3rd. Even if Dalbec struggles immensely with the bat - which is very possible - at least he can earn a minimum wage paycheck with his glove at 3rd...
