Baseball No 1 Prospect Vladdy Guerrero Called Up !
notin replied to Larry33's topic in Other Baseball
Might still be a bit early to compare him to his Hall of Fame dad. Not every legacy is Ken Griffey Jr. Just ask Dale Berra... -
I don’t know if Stuart could start anymore, but I do think he could still outhit some people on the Sox bench...
-
My issue with Devers was never offense. That said, this is a Launch Angle League now. And with this emphasis on hitting fly balls and nothing but fly balls has lead not only to strikeout records for the league, but also a reduced need for infield defense...
-
The Sox have 5 players with an OPS lower than Bradley. It might be difficult to determine who goes when Chavis stats, but NOT for a lack of candidates...
-
No one ever said they didn’t exist for situations. The debate was whether or not it was a repeatable skill for a player...

When Thornburg misses, he’s either well off the plate or right down the middle. I was surprised they tendered him a contract, but I think on the long run, it might be worth it. And DFAing a pitcher because he turned a 15-1 game into a 15-2 game really shouldn’t warrant a DFA...
-
Go where? Pawtucket, I hope. It’s a bit early to revamp the organization depth. But I wouldn’t mind seeing Brewer to Pawtucket and Mejia to Boston. Brewer has options and the Sox have room on the 40 man for Mejia. No reason this couldn’t happen today...

Didn’t you hear? The Sox DFAd you today. You’re free to become a fan of another team...

Vegas has to take into consideration the action on each betting option. Fangraphs doesn’t...
-
Actually Francina said Miller would be used against tougher hitters. And if those tougher hitters came up in the ninth, Miller and not Allen got the call. It had nothing to do with Miller being the “new guy.” Hader was being used similarly in Milwaukee last year, but their pen has had too many injuries this year and he’s been everywhere...
-
That all depends on the pitcher himself. Some pitchers get nervous facing the 7-8-9 hitters in the bottom of the fifth and some get amped up for those high pressure moments. And some, like Cliff Lee, just act like nothing fazes them at all...
-
The Sox didn’t need Swihart’s versatility. They needed a catcher. And the idea that by playing more positions makes Swihart better is laughable. By that logic, Brock Holt is better than Mike Trout...

What are the chances of Porcello being offered a contract extension?
notin replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I would argue his current age is one of the better reasons TO sign him. He’s only 30... -
Brasier didn’t have trouble with the alleged closing pressure in any other outings. Apparently Nicky Delmonico is his Kryptonite?
-
What makes you think closing has more pressure than high leverage situations? Are you saying if the bases are loaded in the 8th with the Sox up by 3 and the 4-5-6 hitters coming up, the Sox should NOT use their best reliever and save him for the 7-8-9 hitters in the ninth because THAT is where the pressure is? Any “special” pressure a pitcher faces when closing is probably created by the pitcher himself.
-
Yonder Alonso has a .301 OBP, which means if Devers makes that play, there is a 70% chance the Sox won...
-
You can be forgiven because you clearly suffered for the team...
-
I’ve given up on him. Last I checked, his average exit velocity was among the lowest in LB, behind many pitchers. If he can come back, it is a huge bonus. But I’m not even sure what his ceiling was...
-
Agreed. But those Fangraphs folks are really good at providing data. I can’t complain about what they do...
-
Station’s fault. He lied to us. NOBODY watches On Deadly Ground on purpose. Nobody...
-
That’s 4 seam only. My numbers included 2 seamers, so they’re a bit lower but more encompassing. Look 2 sections above. In Pitch Type. Both sections agree his velocity is returning. Bear in mind his career as a reliever is short as well. He came up as a starter...
-
That’s probably the short term plan. At least Thornburg is showing signs of returning to the pitcher DD acquired. Players without the injury/recovery excuse like Colten Brewe should be of bigger concern. Maybe we’re seeing why SD refused to add him to their 40 man roster. (And Esteban Quiroz has an .860 OPS in AAA right now. Granted, that’s a PCL OPS, so dial it back a bit.)...
-
It’s down from 94.1 to 93.8. If that drop is too much, Price should have been released 3 years ago...
-
You need to work on your argument skills if you think you can merge two situations into one and then later call them separate issues. Try making two different posts, for example. The bottom line is, Thornburg is actually showing signs of returning to the pitcher he once was. Cutting bait now would be reactionary...
-
I’m all for calling up Mejia. But DFAing Thornburg while keeping Josh Smith would be stupid. There is enough room in the Sox pen for both...
