The bigger yikes was stopping there. The problem wasn’t getting Kluber; the problem was getting only Kluber…
-
I can pass on Eflin due to the uncertainty and the situation. And I don’t mind Kluber, because I don’t judge moves on hindsight, and Kluber certainly have reasons in 2022 to indicate he’d at least be a competent signing. But ignoring the pitching at the trade deadline for the second year in a row was beyond my comprehension.

Not on 100 groundballs he won’t…

Shortstop B gets 90 outs. That works too. If you need to know runs and runner placement, I’d use the basic Runs Created formula (hits+walks)*total bases/PA. If you treat the two base errors like doubles, you still wind up with half as many runs created (2 to 4). Shortstop B might make errors, but he’s far better than Shortstop A…

The one you can’t blame him for is Eflin. The guy wanted to go to Tampa. Reportedly he never gave Bloom a chance to counter…

Don’t choke Bryce Harper. His reputation is undeserved. But feel free to choke Papelbon and let the student become the master…
-
The poster using him doesn’t have his own opinions so he likes to cite players and (for some reason) journalists so he can tell you you’re wrong. Of course he doesn’t listen when those same types of sources counter whatever point he is trying to make…
-
Ok All hits go for one base. All errors got for two. I would argue you didn’t really “need” more info…
-
Let me see. What happens if someone looks at one scenario at the most positive extreme, looks at the other scenario at the most negative extreme, and then blames a completely irrelevant metric? Is that the question? If so, I guess my answer is I blame the schools…
-
“Clutch” and hit streaks are very different. Very, very different… -
Duvall has 10 HRs and a .999 OPS since August 1. I can cut him one bad night. If not for his recent hot streak, this game might not even matter…
-
Joe Jacques will be right next to Mauricio Llovera on the Players I Will Never Miss List…
-
Sure it is. Unless you think the Yakuza put a gun to his head when the offer was made…
-
Hypothetical scenario - 100 identical groundballs are hit to two different shortstops. Shortstop A gets to 80 of them but makes every play he gets to. Shortstop B gets to all 100 but makes 10 errors. Who is the better defender?
-
Defense isn’t about errors or having tough plays scored as hits. It’s about making outs…
-
Some folks like their players well done and not raw…
-
Renfroe is becoming an easy guess on Immaculate Grid…
-
Or… Just seeing what they have in Rafaela…
-
True, and that might be the case with my possession suggestion of Chapman. But one Glove-First or Glove-Only player batting ninth rarely derails a team…
-
Sure, but pitching alone can’t. Good defense makes pitching better. And it’s often much cheaper to upgrade defense over pitching…
-
I admit I’m hesitant with the Sox few pitching prospects, but I think BTV is going to require more than just Duran and Romero…
-
Dalbec was just bad defensively. He couldn’t catch a cold if he was naked in Norway. (Alternate punchline: I heard he caught COVID, but he booted it.) Yoshida to DH is more likely, since they have the outfielders already even if they don’t bring back Duvall. Duran (Refsnyder)-Rafaela-Verdugo is a step up. But fixing those corner infield spots could, should and even would have a bigger impact. I have heard the “Sox won’t re-arrange” arguments, but they’re really not valid. When the Sox signed Kike the first time, how many people thought it was to play CF? I’m not even sure it was, even though it certainly looked like it would make sense (which it certainly did)…
-
Abreu is in MLB. Ditto Valdez. Drohan, Gambrell, German, Van Belle, Hamilton and Kavadas are in AAA. AA has plenty of them, including Denlinger, Dobbins, Yorke, Guerrero, Binelas, Rosier, Meidroth, Jordan and a few others…
-
I do like a Garrett-Duran framework. I think it makes sense for both teams, especially given Duran having another year of low money and Miami having a weak OF, deep rotation, and shallow pockets…

Did you know the Sox are 56-3 when leading after 6 innings? f*** Nola!! Sign Hader and Dylan Floro!
