  1. I think I speak for everyone - something I’m normally hesitant to do but feel confident here - when I say we’d prefer to see the initial tries…
  2. But even if he accepts, the Sox can renegotiate a multi year deal at a lower AAV - maybe 2 years at $35mill or 3 years $46.5mill…
  3. Hey Porcello took one. It just takes one year where everything falls together. That said, if we set the over/under of Cy Young awards for Pivetta at 1, I still take the under…
  4. A $21 mill salary for Nick Pivetta is a de facto No Trade Clause…
  5. No. I was correct in saying Pivetta getting a QO would shock me. I was most definitely shocked. Also I said repeatedly O’Neill was 50/50 to receive one…
  6. Manaea and Severino were equally questionable QO recipients. I wouldn’t be surprised if this meant a multi year deal was in store for Pivetta and the QO was just to keep other teams at bay…
  7. Is 52 pitchers over a two year stretch really a small number to be trailing?
  8. MLBTR has released their Top 50 with predictions from 4 members of their staff. The following names were linked to Boston (and by how many writers) Corbin Burnes (2) Blake Snell (2) Tanner Scott (2) Jeff Hoffman (1) Clay Holmes (1) Nick Pivetta (4) And maybe I missed a couple. Working from memory here…
  9. No QO for O’Neill. But yes for Pivetta…
  10. I wouldn’t decline the chance to offer O’Neil a QO based on his elevated K rates . Nor would I pass due to his declining defense. Now his .693 OPS vs RHP? Thats more of a cause for alarm…
  11. Most sites have him on their candidates list, including MLB.com, NESN, Fangraphs and this site. If MLBTR says definitely not getting one, they’re alone along with you and Hugh
  12. So he’d be at the same price as last year? To me, it’s a weak plan to fit him in, but I still think the QO for him is in play…
  13. I’m sticking with 50/50, which is nice since I can’t be wrong ;) I believe QOs come out this week. Nearly the entire baseball journalism industry says TON gets a QO. Can they ALL be wrong at once?
  14. And is none of that possible? And why are you pretending those are the only players on the Sox who make money? No mention of Whitlock or Bello? Is Duran in his first arb year, for example? Whether or not you support trading Duran, it certainly is a possibility so much so that this very site ran an article about it…
  15. Or … extend Houck and Crawford and maybe stop prioritizing other team’s prospects that might or might not work out over the ones we already have that are working out…
  16. The pro to the QO is he’s in and out in one year. The con is it eats up a big chunk of a budget. But anyone arguing it eats up 1/3 of the budget is using straw man logic. We don’t know what the budget actually is, and even if we did, why are we pretending the Sox can’t make deals to dump other salaries, etc? Here is one thing I can guarantee - the Sox will spend less on pitching than many fans think is necessary, and will NOT dedicate 100% of their spending on pitching…
  17. I’d take that bet, but I need some details on this son first. If he’s a teenager, I’m out but get what you’re doing. Refsnyder really isn’t the answer to the Sox struggles vs LHP…
  18. Pivetta would shock me. O’Neill. Nearly every media outlet - including the ones that are usually right - is predicting Boston gives him one. Breslow has talked about an extension as well, and if so, a QO might make sense as a way of keeping other teams out of the talks…
  19. I would imagine that if O’Neill accepts his QO, that not all of Duran, Rafaela and Abreu would return next season. Also, I certainly could see O’Neill accepting, but it might not be a given. He is only 29 and coming off his second best season of his career. He might view this as his best chance to land multiple years…
  20. Both? Who is the other player allegedly getting a QO?
  21. Everyone says that every year. This team needs pitching, pitching, pitching and should only spend on pitching. And it never happens that way. i think O’Neill is 50/50 to get a QO. The Sox have reportedly talked extension. And free agency isn’t the only way to get pitching…
  22. Where are you looking or what am I doing wrong? I see different values, particularly Arm Strength… https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/tyler-o-neill-641933?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb
