Luckily teams aren’t awarded bonus runs for “best outfield” any more…
-
8 pitchers…
-
The Sox have added 2 free agents on deals longer than two years since 2018. The team didn’t qualify for usage of the word “most” in that regard…
-
And with that, the Sox have been mathematically eliminated…
-
Not cheering, just questioning differences in our criteria and theirs…
-
The Sox could go with Duran-Rafaela-O’Neill or O’Neill-Duran-Abreu or maybe even O’Neill-Rafaela-Abreu. Not like they need another outfielder. All of these combinations are defensively superior to any arrangement that includes Jorge Soler…
-
They have open MLB jobs, some of which are available for starters with significant playing time…
-
Much rather bring back Duvall…
-
They did well drafting Garrett and Rogers (both high schoolers taken in the first round), and signing Cabrera and Perez. But Luzardo was acquired in a trade for Starling Marte, and Alcantara was acquired in a trade of JT Realmuto (a deal that also netted Miami the mega-talented but oft-injured Sixto Sanchez)…
-
Duran should be the first asset traded. Especially if the plan is to acquire a right fielder. But even if they don’t, Duran is an offensive weapon with no real position in Boston…
-
In have a feeling the notion about a player being available “for money only” is not viewed by ownership with the same enthusiasm as it is by fans. I might even go so far as to say they might bite it as a negative thing. But as long as they are not afraid to make a few trades, it can work out…
-
Who would that be? Mata? Slaten? Bernardino?
-
Something that’s been done by me, you, and a lot of other people who don’t have to pay for their replacements…
-
I think there is a lot of “let’s wait and see what X gets and base our demands on that.” The problem is we have Montgomery’s camp saying “let’s see what Snell gets” and Snell’s camp plotting by waiting to see what Montgomery gets. This issue gets compounded even more once you realize Montgomery and Snell both have the same agent. Conclusion: I don’t blame much of anything on Scott Boras. But slow offseasons are clearly his fault… -
It was a good bullpen that would be improved by making Houck and Whitlock full time members.
-
We all want the team to be better, with the exception of one guy, who only wants the team to be more expensive. I don’t care if they do out via some sort of Tampa model or what. I do think going crazy spending on pitching is a double edged sword that can create short term success, but definitely will create a long term detriment to the team. As I’d like them in the running every year, I don’t mind when this gets avoided. I do think this team is already improved, but could use some rotation help. And probably some depth…
-
Yeah, why burden yourself with pitching depth?
-
Last time? When we stuck them with Kike Hernandez for two non-descript minor league pitchers? Yeah they’re fuming about that deal…
-
Or put Arroyo in RF. Kike at SS should have never happened. Bloom should have simply signed Andrus…
-
He also contributed in other ways that offset his defensive shortcomings. Schwarber at 1b was a net gain, at least in the short term. Maybe a full season of Schwarber at 1b would not be so enjoyable…
-
And sometimes, players playing out of position is on the manager, not the GM/CBO. I’m reasonably sure Dombrowski never told Cora to use Christian Vazquez as a backup 2b…
-
Yes and no. Playing Franchy Cordero out of position at 1b? Bad. Playing Kyle Schwarber out of position at 1b? Not bad at all…
-
In Chicago, some Cubs fans are growing impatient. The Cubs have not added a single player via trade or MLB contract. (And only 4 players to minor league deals.) Not one. It has been so bad, my Diehard Cubbie Blue daughter got elated when the team signed Colten Brewer to a minor league deal last week. Colten Brewer! This is a team that didn’t get eliminated until game 161!!
-
I do agree Baseball is more and more about the bullpen. Fujinami needs to be higher on the Sox radar…
-
I like last 3 seasons an evaluation. But it makes using bWAR tough. But if you like bWAR, Nola has been worth 0.018 bWAR/IP over the last 3 years. Stroman has been worth 0.017 bWAR/IP over the last 3 years. Surprisingly close. Of course, Nola has pitched 125 more IP over that stretch…
