We get that back of Giolito is any good…

Montgomery is a better pitcher than you give him credit for. Was Texas a pretender last year when they picked him up? Their rotation was Eovaldi, Gray, Dunning, Heaney and Perez? Who’s the ace carrying that team? Eovaldi? With 144 IP and a 3.63 ERA? If he’s an ace, why isn’t Bello? Before collapsing in his last 3 starts, Bello had a 3.68 ERA in 142 IP…

Snell would be more preferable, but he is so unreliable…

How do we know that baby didn’t deserve it?

Now there still are 25 unsigned starting pitchers per MLBTR (and including Bauer). Several will already miss some or all of 2024 (Woodruff, Kershaw, Boyd, Odorizzi, Keller) A couple (Urias, Bauer) are PR nightmares. Some (Greinke? Hill? Cueto? Kluber?) might be forced into retirement. Taking out those 11, there are 14 left. Some of whom will fall into the previously mentioned categories…

Way to deflect!! “Talk to the guy I won’t let do anything!”

Aroldis Chapman was also ridden pretty hard by Joe Maddon in 2016, giving him 97 pitches in the final 3 games after pitching in 2 of the first 4 games. And yet here we are 8 years later and Chapman is still out there getting $10mill contracts. Chapman, despite all his post-season series, simply never shouldered the in-season workload Foulke did for all those other years. Chapman rarely pitched 60 IP in a season, only doing so 3 times in his career, and not at all since 2015. His career high in IP for the regualr eason was 71 with the 2012 Reds. Foulke never threw less than 77 IP between 1999 and 2004, and topped out at 105 IP in 1999. THAT is a big part of the the difference. Not throwing 3 fewer pitches in 3 games...

Where did those goal posts go? No one is even asking for indisputable proof. But I do think the standard should be higher than Ironclad Innuendo. Right now the debate is "Francona ruined Foulke in one week" vs "Francona probably added the final straw to an increasingly fragile arm". Sound about right?
-
But that was over multiple seasons, not one week. Foulke was overused, too. Just that it was being done by Chicago and Oakland before he even came to Boston. We know overuse can be an issue. That's why pitch counts started getting used in the first place...
-
Is there? Kluber pitched 164 IP the following season. He also had a pretty significant injury history beforehand, including pitching a total of 36 IP in 2019 and 2020 combined...

Created? Probably not. Exacerbated? I could see that...

How many of those no-hitters ended careers?

King is one guy that makes for a BTV-acceptable trade for Duran that makes sense for both teams. Trade values on that site are almost identical. Duran, a SoCal native, easily fits into the San Diego outfield that, per Roster Resource, will be starting Jesus Azocar and non-roster invitee Cal Mitchell. And adds a let-handed bat to a lineup that really only has Cronenworth. (Mitchell is technically left-handed, but has almost no MLB track record.) Rhode Island native and BC alum King easily slips into the Sox rotation ahead of Houck, Whitlock and Winckowski. The big issue in my eyes is Duran has 5 years of control left while King has only two...

It does seem like they are not taking into account that Baltimore, for example, will also continue to pump out the prospects, even without Hall and Ortiz...

Well, sometimes the cause of the injury is obvious. See Pedroia, Dustin...

Weird. I named my dog after Bob Stanley. I called him “Choker”..
-
Those might be the two shortest players in MLB…
-
Hey, you can argue with me. But you can’t argue with Pedro. Actually, you probably could. His Twitter/X handle is @45PedroMartinez. Go get ‘im!
-
Also, maybe you never used the words “wasn’t good”, but his fWAR hovering around 1.0 didn’t escape your attention…
-
I think he can be the OBP guy they need atop the lineup. And he’s a pretty good base runner for a tortoise…
-
I am going to assume this is related to the 1986 World Series and nothing else…
-
Pedro said 10-15…
-
Wait. Did you compliment Yoshida? Call him “good”? I mean, you spearheaded the early labeling of him as a bust. Are you … reconsidering and giving him a chance? Or did his name just get caught up in a typing frenzy?
-
You know what they call the only neighbor without an AR15? A target
-
They wanted him to be a Bob Stanley
