    But then fans are getting worked up over Chatham to the point of switching his position based on his insanely unsustainable .435 BABIP and crazy low FB rate that is carried by a high amount of infield pop ups. Chatham’s best skill is his glove, which would be best utilized at more a difficult position like SS. It’s not uncommon to see glove-first and glove-only shortstops. How often do you see a glove-only second baseman?

    The question with Porcello isn’t “does he merit an extension?” The Sox have thrown around enough of those and have two big looming questions ahead of him. The question is - does he merit a qualifying offer? While the QO skill very likely represent more a higher AAV than Porcello will get as a free agent, it’s only a one year deal. And as Porcello will still be only 30 this off-season, his chances of landing a multi year deal decrease rapidly with each passing season...

    Hanley Ramirez is a free agent. Sure his 65 OPS+ doesn’t look enticing, but it’s double Steve Pearce’s...

    Bradley’sow defensive metrics aren’t a result of ability, but more likely a result of opportunity. Currently he ranks 19th (out of 23 qualifying CFs) in total plays. And only one CF with fewer opportunities has a slightly better defensive rank, probably due to a higher percentage of his plays being out of zone. If a player is simply not as involved defensively, then he isn’t going to rank as highly as players who are more involved. But even those Rick solid believable offensive stats work this way...

    Well, you had to switch positions on a few guys there...

    Are you aware who the Sox GM/President is?

    His future is looking like the next Jarrod Parker...

    In his defense, no one named A-Rod is helping this team one bit...

    Duran is in A ball. Let’s not hand him starting roles yet. The Sox will still have Vazquez in 2020. I do think that unless massive changes occur in how this team is playing, Bradley is definitely trade bait come July. The bigger question will be finding a partner to make a worthwhile deal. And that also leaves the question - who else is trade bait? Certainly Porcello, and Holt and Nunez, assuming either is healthy. Should the Sox consider moving Martinez and hope he opts out do they can re-sign him? What about Price? I’m sure the bullpen is available, except maybe Barnes. ERod? Anyone else?

    Eh. Do they even need to? We’re getting throttled by tanking teams...

    No doubt DD’s complacency this off-season was an issue. But then, his past has always been building bullpens closer-down with a lot of experimentation, guesswork, and frugality. He’s had successes that way, but also a fair amount of failures, notably with Detroit...

    He’s also going to have to do better than a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in AAA ball if he wants to avoid pitching for cheap money...

    Well ok then. Just message me your credit card info and I’ll get those tickets out to you...

    Given that Shane Greene has saved all 10 of Detroit’s prior wins, does that mean this 4-run lead is Detroit’s largest in the ninth inning this season?

    And officially the Legend of Rudy Pemberton is erased from our minds...

    They only have two non-duds. And even one of them might be a dud in disguise...

    The Sox might need him once they decide to cut bait with Colten Brewer...

    Not sure why Dombrowski kept trying to acquire Colten Brewer...

    Strip Go Fish? Bear in mind that the original question asked about “two guys”...
  20. notin
    I can’t believe we pay to watch them. Would you shell out hard-earned cash to watch two guys play checkers? Or Go Fish?

    And in many cases, their earned runs score on hits given up by the next guy...

    It ERA isn’t runs. It’s “earned runs,” which can be vastly different if your defense sucks...

    Ouija board. Duh!
  24. notin
    But ERA was created to be used on relief pitchers
  25. notin
    Maybe. Or 1b if Moreland doesn’t come back. Or 2b if he isn’t a complete disaster defensively. Or DD will flat out trade him for a CF to replace Bradley...
