    Guest Please help me to believe that the Red Sox did enough to improve on last year’s Wild Card club. Mark P The pitching is way better, Willson Contereras is a good hitter, and you get a full season of Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. The Red Sox should be in good shape to contend again. From a recent MLBTR chat…

    That was never part of the question..,

    It’s not a question of whether or not you’re satisfied or holding the Sox to a different standard. 89-90 wins is all but a guarantee of postseason play and youre not punishing the Sox by saying they’re going to win that many games and miss the postseason. Because someone is going and it’s solely based on wins. MLB isnt going to tell the Red Sox “Sorry, yes, you won enough games but you neeed a better DH.” Does the AL features 6 offenses guaranteed to win more games with their prolific scoring? If so, who?

    No team since the current postseason was implemented has won as many as 89 games and failed to get into playoffs. One team won 88 games and missed. 89 wins puts their playoff likelihood well over 95%. At that point, your actually attributing more wins to other teams who have more flaws than Boston…

    In the pre-wild card era, eight 100 win teams missed the postseason, most recently the 1993 Giants. With 3 wild cards in each league, never…

    And historic. That would mean three non-division winning teams have 91 wins or more. That would be an MLB first…

    Or Cheng. It’s not like IKF can’t handle Romy’s duties early on…

    They’re just guessing. Do they even talk to the Sox FO about that roster stuff?
  9. notin
    You think they win 90 and miss the playoffs? I want that wager. Now!

    While I’m sure Breslow knew it, I doubt the timing was anything. It’s not like Milwaukee was going to suddenly overcharge for Monasterio and demand Anthony in return for him if they knew Romy was out…

    Nats signed him. Still lots of mediocrity-wannabe’s left on the free agent market. Maybe then Sox could try something crazy and sign Tony Gonsolin for the bullpen. (Zero chance. They might sign him, but it would be to an MiLB contract and he’d be a starter.)…

    OBP is probably more paramount, but ideally batting average. Get a hit and score the guy. Nothing more frustrating than watching the ghost runner not advance after a strikeout and grounder to shortstop…

    Cionel Perez? He didn’t pitch much last year coming off an injury, but wasn’t it an oblique injury?

    You can call .722/.717 as “even splits”. In fact, you should. A difference that small is more than accounted for by one single over 400 at bats. Narvaez’ .723/.732 are pretty even as well…

    The Sox are likely neither. But I do think it’s time they paid attention to the bulllpen. The biggest name added to it so far this off-season is Ryan Watson…
  16. notin
    Right. Let teams ruin more player’ careers by forcing them to play through injuries. That sounds fun…

    He was early AI…
  18. notin
    It does mean he’s not playing 2b and they want his legs in the lineup, at least until Jett Williams is ready..
  19. notin
    So the Sox should fire Cora?
  20. notin
    The guy they have playing 2b defense now is a former Platinum Glove winner…

    Not surprising. Now if he lasts all year I might be surprised…

    Castellanos had the huge advantage of being available at minimum wage wuth Philly on the hook for the rest of his money. Because of this, someone might give him a shot. But he was part of a deep lineup lineup in a hitters’ park on a perennial contender and still his 88% in sweet spot only translated to a 18% in exit velocity. Given his complete lack of defensive ability, the only beneficial change of scenery Nick Castellanos might benefit from is to a Men’s Beer League Softball team. And, yes, his average exit velocity last year was lower than Yoshida’s..

    Monasterio lack’s Romy’s thump vs LHP, but his career .352 OBP against them will be an acceptable substitution…

    The swingman from St John’s?
  25. notin
    Sure Knight was aggressive, but having him round third and try to score on a groundball Buckner caught in this hypothetical scenario isn’t “aggressive” baserunning. It’s flat out stupid baserunning. I agree with anyone who says the Sox lost it when the Mets tied it. But Youre handing out some pretty unlikely scenarios…
