    Hey feel free to do better without going over the Sox budget…

    True. And I actually chose it without checking his IP. He does throw fairly hard, and that will get him a job. No idea where. And why do you think Winckowski didn’t throw hard? He brought gas from that pen plenty of times. (Of course comparing the velocity of a SP to a reliever often benefits the reliever.)

    I’m not reporting rumors. Just pitchers I find statistically interesting. These deep dives are the reality right now. Assuming we even go that far…
  4. notin
    That may be as well. But it doesn’t help the team this year…
  5. notin
    There is that possibility. But unless something chances, there are the target levels we appear to be aiming for..,
  6. notin
    It is possible our “Houck to the bullpen” fantasy is just that…

    Over the last 3 years, Keller ranks 31 in fastball velocity in all of MLB per Fangraphs. (300 IP min). https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&type=10&month=0&ind=0&startdate=&enddate=&season1=2021&season=2023&sortcol=3&sortdir=default&pageitems=30&qual=300&pagenum=2 Not the highest among FA pitchers - Snell and Montas are both higher, for two. But certainly higher than I thought Keller would be…

    From July 29 until the end of the year, 2.61 ERA/3.84 FIP with .596 OPSA. It’s easy to do worse…

    I think most of the retirees are moving to Florida and those not of retirement age and still work in NYC move to NJ/CT…
  10. notin
    Decidedly so. But a possible accurate assessment…

    What advantage would have been had by dealing him in December?
  12. notin
    And transposing it into what the Sox got for Betts. The Sox had TWO offers for Betts. One had Graterol. One had Quantrill and Joey Lucchesi. No one offered anything else…

    Not of retirement age…

    Hindsight? I was making this complaint the second after the deal was returned!! And hindsight is a better judge than alternates universes where Jeter Downs panned out…
  15. notin
    Ok. But he was still the right choice over Wong/Downs. And the Sox actually had him, unlike whatever trade you’re imagining that was never offered…
  16. notin
    He could have at least helped more than a Jeter Downs…
  17. notin
    All of that was true even when they were drafting pitchers high…
  18. notin
    I think the WAR stats are both worth looking at. More so than wins…

    Drafting pitchers is like high risk investments in the ol’ 401k. Bloom played it safe with low risks and just wanted guaranteed growth. There’s no safer draft pick than the best shortstop available…
  20. notin
    Steele threw 7 fewer innings than Snell. Steele had a better fWAR, but Snell had a better bWAR. Wheeler lead MLB in fWAR..
  21. notin
    I figured Bloom was avoiding pitchers because position players are safer picks and he was looking to bolster the value of the system. You can always trade those California shortstops for pitching…
  22. notin
    Verdugo and Graterol…
  23. notin
    Snell was also helped immensely by a league-best defense behind him…
  24. notin
    Gallen and Snell over Wheeler and Steele?
  25. notin
    I don’t think that one was a Bloom mistake…
