GM Slasher9 must think Justin Verlander cannot handle the bright lights either, given his performance in 5 World Series games spread out over 12 years. -
Unless he can offer some tips on recovery or knows some really good doctors...

We are definitely not going to agree. The data is not biased just because someone made a determination on what data to collect. There is no cognitive bias involved in the actual data itself, but there may be one in the determination of what data is useful, but that is not the same thing at all. ur evaluations as humans can be subject to cognitive biases that make observations in question due to systematic errors in our thought processes and errors, but that comes into play afterwards. If, for example, we determine BA to be significant, that poses no actual bias on the data itself, but only on the importance of it. This is a form of what is known as Selection Bias...

So what games do? Only important games where players don't do well?
-
Yes, Rich Hill is the perfect solution for the Sox injury-plagued rotation...
-
Maybe the AL West hitters feasted on those weaker AL West pitchers....
-
I’m not sure how many 40 man roster spots, but the ones I’d protect over Ockimey include Dalbec, Wilson, Chatham, Bazardo, Hart and De La Guerra. Maybe Raudes. And just possibly and very oddly, Tate Matheny. The Sox do need outfielders...
-
Today’s World Series Observation: Asdrubal Cabrera looks like Gollum. That is all...
-
Non-tendering doesn’t mean “cutting.” The Sox could non-tender Hembree and then bring him back, possibly even on a MiLB contract if he has no other offers...
-
Think they will protect Ockimey this year?
-
I just think he never worked out at 1b because the Sox already had 2 first baseman.
-
You said "but i believe if JDM does not opt-out this will directly lead to JBj being non-tendered. " Basically, JBJ's fate might hang in the balance of JDM's decision to opt out or not. Probably true...

Or it could make him Jarrod Parker or Nathn Eovaldi.Historically, a TJ surgery has a shelf life of about 600 innings, and that's when nothing goes wrong. The Yankees might get 3 years out of Montgomery, but his value is in eating innings, not in being an outstanding pitcher. He's mediocre at best, and not likely to replace Happ in the rotation...
-
So you owned the Rays outside of the games you lost?
-
Worse than Hanley? And maybe some of the older folks can tell us about Dick Stuart aka Dr. Strangeglove, Actually Offerman was not so much a bad 1b as he was a player who did not fit the mold of what fans wanted from a 1b - a prototypical slugging bulwark who can at third thru fifth in any lineup...
-
And Correa wasn't the most obvious number one overall pick. He was in the discussion, but so were Kevin Gausman, Kevin Zimmer and Mark Appel (who Houston later drafted #1 overall and was one of those whiffs you alluded to). But Correa was considered the easiest to sign of the three, and the Astros used that savings to afford Lance McCullers with their next pick. It also helped that Correa actually worked out better than anyone else taken early in that draft...
-
You might be understiating the Rays. That they could take Houston to 5 games alone should indicate that they re no pushover. They won as many games against the Astros in a 5 game series as the Yankees did in a 7 game series. Also, the Astros ans National (and Dodgers tht you omitted) might lose a lot when those pitchers leave, but the Yankees also might lose a lot if Chapman leaves. And the Astros do get a full season of Greinke next year...
-
I ripped the Offerman signing when DD made it, but the guy did have a .391 OBP his first year in Boston, and he had a .364 OBP and .757 OPS in his first 3 seasons in Boston. He actually was not that bad at the plate. Defensively, he could only play 1b, however...
-
The only issue might be a physical one. He had some back issues that might be exacerbated by playing 1b. Maybe that was the issue? If the Sox play him at 1b, that's fine with me. There is still time to implement that if he doesn't opt out. And while 1b might be the easiest defensive position to field and therefore to fill, that's only true if you don't count DH...
-
That's the exact scenario the Sox should be aiming for. If they're the biggest spender whose reset the luxury taxes, they are in a great position to sign Mookie after 2020. The only thing that might work against them is if Mookie just wants to play in another city for some reason. Maybe he likes change. But even if that happens, you should at least get more for him by trading him one year early than you are likely to get from a single compensatory draft pick...
-
Unless you think Henry should put out a hit on Price, I don't think it's going to matter. Price isn't getting traded. Unless the Sox give up something else with him that we prefer to keep, like Devers...
-
Mostly because that is more likely to kill Dalbec's value than inflate it. Dalbec may or may not hit, but we can both agree not hitting is easier. But he can field. If you want to maximize his value, you showcase him as a 3b. At 1b, it only work out if he hits. But if he comes out of the gate at .182/.282/.410, what's next, besides looking for another 1b? I call the Guardians today and offer Dalbec (surplus value of $18.8mill per baseballtradevalues.com) for Aaron Civale (surplus value $18.2mill). 1b can be filled a multitude of other ways...
-
No one is suggesting trading thr next Devers. Just the first Dalbec, When Devers was Dalbec's age... wait, he hasn't gotten there yet. I'll finish this post in 15 months...

Many have given up on JBJ but what about Benny ?
notin replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I somehow interpreted your proposal to be a trade of Bradley for Mancini. Chalk up my mistake to a temporary bout of complete illiteracy. But the Sox shouldn't trade Benintendi. Especially if Betts and Bradley are not coming back. Even if they get back one OF like Mancini for Benintendi (which is a lopsided deal in favor of Baltimore - NOT an overwhelming offer for Boston), it's not like the Sox have an abundance of outfielders in the minors. The idea of a outfield with Mancini, Cole Sturgeon, and Rusney Castillo is tantamount to screaming "We surrender" loud enough to be heard at both poles simultaneously. And Jarren Duran doesn't change this. And I wouldn't trade Benintendi for Mancini at gunpoint... -
Price was coming off a season with a career high 6.7 fWAR and his average fastball velocity was up a full mph over the previous season when the Sox signed him. Not sure where you get your stuff, but you're not going to shake your reputation for denigrating all things Red Sox while praising all things Yankee with statements like this...
