    Gallen isn’t horrible. I wouldn’t put him in the same class as Richard, Kluber, etc. Hes not coming off injury and he was worth over 12 fWAR from 2022-2024. He just had a rough 2025. He’s also somehow still only 30 and he looks like a high school chemistry teacher. His 1.1 fWAR in 2025 wasn’t that much worse than Bello (1.9 fWAR). Of course it’s also equal to what Early gave Boston in a microscopic 14 IP. I get why he rejected the QO. But the combination makes him much less desirable…

    And I’m predicting you won’t abide by this prediction…

    I’m not worried. I don’t think Gallen is on their radar, if only because of the QO…
  4. notin
    Gallen might not be worth giving up a draft pick for, unless he has a Chris Sale-esque comeback…

    Of course. Problem is, I can name one person who wouldn’t…

    I’m 99% certain Sox fans lump all the GMs/CBOs into two categories - Dombrowski and Not Dombrowski. Turns out Bloom and Breslow fall into the same category…
  8. notin
    So you think Breslow didn’t ask any questions?

    They unloaded like 10 players on 2 days and were one season removed from just missing the playoffs and they’re in a very weak division. That fire sale wasn’t about rebuilding or reloading…

    That might have been the biggest sell off in MLB history, and they held on to one of their most sought-after trade assets…

    Seranthony Dominguez is right-handed. But I agree that he’s still a better add than Danny Coulombe or Tim Mayza…

    It does make me wonder if it’s a common thing where players/agents report better offers than thy have to improve actual ones. We all know Boras uses “mystery team” to up the bidding…

    B-R would be better if they had adjustable leader boards…

    I said he was capable. But projecting a career year is optimistic, right? Seems like that’s how optimism works..

    I get the basic philosophy, but they take other factors into account. For example, when the Sox traded Betts, his surplus value was around $60mill. At the time, he was making $25 mill or so. Was someone really projecting a 10.5 fWAR season? He was certainly capable, but that still borders on optimistic…

    Well, in the last 2 seasons, Duran has been worth about 11 fWAR and Paredes closer to 6. At $8million per fWAR, thats a $40mill difference right there. The “units” BTV uses are worth about $1mill and called “surplus value”. So basically they are saying Duran’s fWAR converted into cash is worth about $49 million more than he will be paid in that time…

    That’s another issue. I prefer fWAR, but unfortunately B-R is more phone friendly so it’s easier to look up. Yes sometimes my criteria is that simple…

    Hayes has never been much of a hitter and never had an OPS over .659 in a season where he has had 100 PA. He is an excellent defender at 3b, however.

    I like WAR, but at what point does it become noticeable? Is 0.5 WAR a good improvement? Half a win is kind of an abstract concept.
  20. notin
    I am really not excited about Suarez. Granted he has been a very underrated player throughout his career. In the absence of power options, focus on OBP?
  21. notin
    The A’s are trying. They left a market they shared with another team. Vegas should be huge, and Big Amish could be a marketable player for them. I cut the Pirates some slack. They seem to be the poster child for a disinterested fanbase. Marlins are pathetic. Ditto the Rockies…
  22. notin
    I think Matt McLain can improve since last year was more about coming back from extended injuries. But the rest of that lineup beyond those two is weak…

    I think teams like the Reds are ruining baseball. I hate the Dodgers, but they’re not the team keeping payroll low start can pocket revenue sharing money that they don’t re-invest…
  24. notin
    Why?!? You keep citing the Sox had only one hitter in the top 60, but you prefer a roster that had none?
  25. notin
    Most likely someone is projecting Paredes to have a low WAR or a high salary. With Casas, it’s probably the opposite. And it’s probably the projected salary driving both cases…
