    Yeah that’s a fairly nonsensical comment...

    The 90’s were the Suppan-Rose-Pavano years....

    Betts!!! Elite trade value there!

    Oh I think the cranky thing was not a secret I brought it up just to show Eovaldi was in an expected range, not that MLBTR writers are known for their predictions. Look, if I’m defending Dombrowski, it’s probably because he didn’t make a mistake...

    You do realize MLBTR makes those predictions before players declare and GMs ignore them, right? They also predict teams free agents sign with, but HMs don’t treat that like its an assigned task...

    Well, the primary “not a repeatable skill” stat is RBIs. And the main reason is, outside of HRs, it’s 100% dependeant on other players being on base. If. Hitter comes up with 400 runners on base one year and 300 the next, his RBI totals will obviously drop regardless of performance. The things you say are not repeatable skills are things I would argue are, depending on the level of precision. But the repeatability of those skills is what gets many to the majors. I can get (very) lucky and hit a Nathan Eovaldi fastball once. But once that happens, it ain’t repeating...

    I’m not one to defend DD for no reason, and certainly not one to justify the outrageous Eovaldi contract, but what little I heard had other bidder(s) in that range. Even MLBTR had a 4 year $60mill prediction for his contract. He was expected to do well...

    The bottom line is, dgalehouse was questioning why the high fives after a ninth inning out. I think the answer is simple: they’re having fun. It’s a game. If you played baseball for a career, win or lose, wouldn’t you be ecstatic about your job? And be thrilled to play every day?

    You’ve gotten especially cranky this week. I do think this team needs to explore Betts trades now. I know they won’t. Dombrowski is always up for trading a bunch of prospects and younger platers for an established star, but has very little experience doing the reverse...

    An MVP and multiple 7-8 fWAR seasons by age 28 should work out for him. Someone will pay. Don’t tell me a year you pegged the Padres as Machado’s new team...

    Sarcasm? That’s the literal bottom of the sports journalism barrel...

    Actually there were reportedly several teams in on Eovaldi. Pearce? Probably against themselves. But Eovaldi was supposedly a hot commodity for a while this past offseason...

    Oh Sleepy Dave..,
  15. notin
    I think DD’s voicemail message says “Sorry Dave is not making moves at this time. Please check back in November.”

    Better than having Adrian Beltre come back and cripple all our left fielders...

    Well if you love Vazquez, maybe Slasher needs his own thread...

    Hey Sandoval is having a better season at the plate than Mookie Betts...
  19. notin
    No love for Vazquez with a performance thread?

    The Sox aren’t going to be in play for Stroman or Wheeler or Bumgarner or any of the other highly sought after starters unless they do something drastic like trade Benintendi or Chavis...
  21. notin
    I think it’s easy to estimate. Betts will bring back more from a contending team. But Benintendi, due to his salary and years of control, will appeal to every team. They may not give up what the Sox want, but the salary won’t scare them away either...

    The biggest difference between this year’s Porcello and last year’s is the fewer K/9 and the higher percentage of contact on pitches out of the zone. Hitters are swinging at only a slightly higher percentage of pitches out of the zone, but hitting more. And his BABIPA is actually higher despite this, meaning his “chase” offerings are missing his spots and are slightly more hittable. The likely cause is slightly less action on the 2-seamer away to RHH. Perfecting the release and velocity of a 2-seamer to get the right break is tricky. So it’s possible he was not given adequate opportunities or he simply cannot repeat his motions properly...

    Well, one year ago today his ERA was 3.57...
  24. notin
    Think Benintendi brings back more than Betts?
  25. notin
    I fell for that kind of thing again. Where’s my dunce cap?
