    I’ve been on the “Deal Mookie” bandwagon for some time now...
  2. notin
    Porcello would be good for an NL team, since he’s actually a pretty good hitter...

    Although if this rule happens, KC is going to feel pretty stupid for DFAing Billy Hamilton. His one weakness was his inability to steal first base...
  4. notin
    Except that this one is stupid. A defensive mistake on a batted ball in play is one thing. But to give that same importance to each pitch?

    I’ll cut Cashner some slack as it was still just one start...
  6. notin
    Exactly. He wasn’t some great unheralded discovery. There was a reason other teams avoided him. Some of that was his injury issues, but a big chunk was probably that he just wasn’t anything special. It’s like when career tweener Aaron Small had that great run for the Yankees. Despite his success, it’s not like Cashman plugged him into the front of the rotation the next year. Small made a few more starts and then just disappeared...

    Which is how rebuilding works. You trade veterans for farm help and work back up by either developing that farm help or flipping the pieces for other major leaguers with more control.

    Anything that can be had for Moreland and Holt isn’t worth the phone call. Not at first. Sell the other names first. Cashner can be a lower priority as well...
  9. notin
    Shut him down!!
  10. notin
    Trade him!!
  11. notin
    Mookie is absolutely for sale, The Sox should try to move as many of Betts, Porcello, Cashner, Hembree, and maybe Barnes as possible. Pearce, Moreland and Holt are probably not worth trying to move.

    For the record, Eovaldi is not the closer yet So other than give promises, Dombrowski has done nothing for the Sox bullpen all year other than add Colten Brewer...
  13. notin
    Agreed. Dombrowski should sell and resign..,
  14. notin
    No, The Sox do have a run.
  15. notin
    Probably won’t make the decision after 1 IP
  16. notin
    There are too many obvious questions that I’m going to avoid...

    He waguespanked that one!!
  18. notin
    Next time, borrow one of your kid’s diapers...

    Not to mention, if JBJ is middle of the road this year, it’s because his offense was so abysmal the first 6 weeks of the season, the only comparable player (Chris Owings) in MLB was released. And Jackie’s salary and defense probably kept him from a similar fate...
  20. notin
    While I agree he is a borderline major leaguer, I think this move was just to get fresher arms for the long run of games ahead. Brasier will be and Weber and/or Hernandez demoted at some point in the near future...
  21. notin
    Yes and probably not..,
  22. notin
    Different baseline, but same idea. WAR is to WAA like Kelvin is to Celsius...
  23. notin
    And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Rock the Cashner is an awesome nickname..,

    Bradley is the only one playing CF in Boston, but the other teams have not had that luxury. Bradley has played 737 innings in CF. TB’s Kiermeier is the only other AL East CF with as many as 600 innings in centerfield, and he still has fewer innings than Bradley by about 48. But he is crushing Bradley in OOZ plays - 61 to 40. Being flanked by players like Austin Meadows and Avisail Garcia is certainly a factor. More OOZ plays in fewer innings should at the very least contribute to a better rating, right? Now if Bradley was in Tampa and Kiermeier was in Boston, it’s very likely those numbers would be reversed...

    I think fans think a player’s defense doesn’t fluctuate from year to year, but since for most our baseball-watching lives no one measured it, it was really just an assumption. Overall, his bad years listed above were also the years he made the fewest plays. Now they are not all distinctly different from the good ones, but they might be on a per inning basis relative to the rest of the league...
