Lost among all the complaints about the Sox' inability to hit home runs is that the tram is 1 game out of first with the third best record in the AL..
-
So have you felt this way about every Sox manager and front office personnel since you started watching the Sox? Do you feel this way about front office types and managers on other teams?
-
If best of Rutledge is about the same as the worst of Sandoval, then they aren't really equal. ..
-
Ko o I think of looking at UZR like looking at home runs (or any counting stat). If Bogaerts hit 25 one year and 30 the next, that's measurable improvement. Using DRS is like comparing home run ranking. If Bogaerts was 5th in the AL one year seventh in the AL the next, did he get worse or better?
-
In correct. If the Sox had better options than Rutledge or Marrero, Sandoval would be gone or benched. Like last year with Shaw. Unless you really think he was injured. So until the Sox have a better option - and Devers is no guarantee to be better, especially this season - Sandoval is the likely starter starter..

f***ing auto correct. Although I should give it some credit for the self-irony, in that when I type "f***ing", the predictive text suggests my next words will be "auto correct. "

I'm not so sure. Moustakas is one of the best all around 3b in MLB. If not for the occasional health issues, his track record might be more impressive. Moustakas is probably a good guess for the ceiling of Devers.
-
UZR is better if you want to judge Bogaerts year to year. It's not necessarily accurate, but at least it's inclusive to his play alone. DRS is ranked against average play at his position, so if Bogaerts drops it might have nothing to do with him and largely be a function of the other shortstops in the league. ..
-
Agreed, especially since it's not like Smith has an extensive track record as a successful MLB reliever. ..
-
The only Sox players I am not big fans of are Sandoval and Pomeranz. And I probably wouldn't mind either if they had come for lesser asking prices...
-
The price for Mistakes will depend heavily on how many other teams want a 3b. But at a minimum you have to give up more than the sandwich pick he will inevitably be worth to KC. I suspect the Sox won't be able to meet that price and will have to look for alternatives. Trevor Plouffe is one name I have bandied about. And Jhonny Peralta, whom Dombrowski has acquired before, is currently a free agent.
-
To be fair, Cherington did hedge his bets by loading up on groundball pitchers...
-
At this point, any player dealt shouldn't be written off. It's not about their future in MLB so much as it is about their value as a trade chip. I guess the counterargument is that we don't need to make any deals for pitching since any arm Dombrowski acquires is probably going to get injured almost immediately anyway.... -
Not only missed ot, but apparently accepted it even after it was revealed. ...

Who is the worst pitcher in Red Sox history?
notin replied to Northern Star's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I still like the inclusion of Ramiro Mendoza, who killed the Sox for years, and then when we finally acquired him, was once described on Sports Center by Keith Olbermann as "still secretly pitching for the Yankees." Is there any lower praise? -
I'd consider it, assuming it's not someone with very few at bats. I'd also give the label to someone who outperforms in High Leverage, with the same sample size caveat. Know of any such hitter?

True. But the same generally goes for any pitcher over forty. I think some sort of minimum innings qualifier is needed. Otherwise, why go so far back? Why not Kyle Kendrick? -
Who is the worst pitcher in Red Sox history?

I think we can find someone less impressive than a 40+ pitcher who barely spent one year on the team... -
Price has had 3 starts this year. Does that sample size really indicate regression? If he came out of the gate and allowed 1ER in 20 innings, would you think he was clearDr and good to 2...
-
You know, there was a really long stretch during which the 2016 David Price didn't look like a bad option. ...
-
Even with the emergence of Devers, I wouldn't mind seeing Swihart moved to third base. Vazquez can handle the catching duties and Swihart is athletic enough to likely handle the change. He has been injury prone a lot the last couple years and 3b is less taxing. While the current team and contracts do allow for Swihart, Devers and Travis to all play their current positions, that would assume the Sox can unload or give up on Sandoval,which I wowould also like. But I have my doubts all three work out and, if and when the Sox need to make atrade, pprobably for a SP, Devers will be the first name other teams want. Swihart is probably the least attractive chip of the three due to his spotty heath track record.
-
While very true, too many fans hate that type of manager. It was the msin criticism of Francona. ..
-
It I I don't like this comp. Napoli takes lots of pitches and draws more walks (and has more power).. Josh Roddick might be a better comparison
-
Not my words. Dannycater's words about me. Although he later admitted that wasn't really the case.
-
Me either.
