It’s not a question of what he can afford. It’s a question of what he will pay for...
-
I do, but I also understand the difference between Bogaerts and Chatham and the difference between Sale and Sharwyn. And the extremely relevant difference between Kimbrel / Britton / Robertson / Ottavino and Colten Brewer...

Hey those flags fly forever...
-
The BABIP is high, but the point of BABIP is that it’s not completely in control of the pitcher...
-
It’s a small sample size, but in his role the majority were in tight games and the results are not indicative of someone who s*** himself.

Aren’t you supposed to be in school?

Bergman signed a 5 year $100 mill extension, not, per your original estimate, a 4 year $60mill extension...
-
A more reasonable extension for Judge. Figure in 3 arbitration years, Judge easily gets $50mill. Maybe more, but probably not over $60mill. In free agency, if he goes 2 years earlier without the extension, he hits for his age 31 season. He’s probably looking at a JD Martinez contract (5 years $110 mill). So that gives him about $160-170 over the next 8 years. If he accepts it and hits the market at 33, he might be only looking at 4 years $70, giving $170mill over the next 8 years. Roughly even and absolutely worth it for Judge. If I was his agent, I’d tell him to take it...

Not Betts. Pearce. Your original projection for Pearce was it would take a 4yr/$36mill contract to sign him at $9mill AAV. And you thought Judge would be worth a 4yr / $60mill extension at $15mill AAV. Or that Judge is worth $6mill per year more than a weak side platoon 1b. Just picking on your (slightly biased) projections...
-
I don’t know. According to Jacko, Judge is only worth $6mill per year more than Pearce.
-
No one cares about Henry’s checking account. But some fans do care how these mega contracts do impact the roster especially since the Sox clearly refuse to spend without limits. Not sure why that is a tough concept for so many to grasp. Don’t you think maybe if the Sox still didn’t have Sandoval on the books, they might have made a push for Kimbrel or Ottavino or Robertson?
-
He does have a 0.87 career ERA and 1.16 career WHIP in postseason games. Hitters had a .673 OPSA off Barnes in high leverage situations, carried by a crazy high .349 BABIP...
-
I have my doubts that JD Martinez will have a .516 OPS for very long...
-
The Blue Hays have a reliever named Jacob Waguespack, who immediately deserves mention on this list...

Mike Trout and Angels agrees to 12 year / 430 MIL

He’ll be somewhere between Machado and Trout for total value... -
Being in the NL doesn’t make a big difference with closers like it does with starters. If the game is close enough for the closer to be in there, the pitcher is NOT going to be batting...
-
Backup 1b was apparently a bigger need...
-
I think we’ll have 2 or 3 closers, but Mejia will be the saves leader by season’s end...

Mike Trout and Angels agrees to 12 year / 430 MIL

Now all they need is a team around him... -
Next year.

I think the 13 pitchers is only until Pedroia comes back. There are good reasons to start with that many relievers, as starters might not be going as many innings early on. But I expect a 7 man bullpen shortly. But that will probably be when Holt or Nunez move to the bench to accommodate Pedroia, so there still won’t be an opening on the roster for Swihart/Leon...
-
That’s what I figured. I am not sure they even see him as a reliever...
-
Then the question is - moved where? What’s the greater chance - that Swihart or Leon clears waivers and can be sent to Pawtucket or that any player that can be acquired for either one becomes even a semi-useful MLB player?
-
I think Feltman makes his MLB debut before July 1...
-
Or .. I think he should at least wait one more year to opt out since he still makes $23.4mill in 2020 before his salary drops (to a food stamp level $19mill). If so, the Sox might have an opening in the OF if Bradley walks. Martinez-Benintendi-Betts might be the OF in 2020...
