  1. One could also argue that logic applies to every team in history…
  2. But the Sox never DFAd the rally monkey…
  3. He was referring to first 2 innings only…
  4. I think it’s a team option that automatically vests if he meets the terms…
  5. Only is odd numbered years apparently
  6. The David Eckstein Era…
  7. He was very injury prone in 2020…
  8. BTV rejects it. Torres alone for Verdugo and Urias is a minor overpay. Schmidt is the most valuable player of the four on their site. Verdugo and Drohan for Torres works…
  9. Semien has only missed 11 games in the past 6 seasons!
  10. Sort of like David Price…
  11. I’d think the only reason the Angels move Trout is to clear salary to re-sign Ohtani. Injuries or not, Trout is a big name player who sells tickets. I’d have to think the Angels top priority would be unloading what’s left of Anthony Rendon plus as much as possible of what’s left of his contract…
  12. Actually my biggest concern is the plantar fasciitis. I don’t think he’s a bad player. But I doubt whoever the Sox hire has him on the radar. The Luis Urias Status Quo is far more likely…
  13. Maybe we could put Martinez in LF, move Yoshida to RF, bring back Turner to DH. And at that point let’s just plug Duran in T second and not worry about it. Because outside of CF and SS, no one else kid going to be able to field a batted ball anyway. We also need some pitching capable of 27 K/9
  14. Obviously not happening. Jonathan India is more likely. Not a bopper, but at least he’s a good hitter who also knows how to take a walk. And buried in the middle infield depth of the Reds…
  15. Also position. Not to mention last time he was playing for Boston, he didn’t approach those numbers for some reason…
  16. So.. Alex Verdugo for Gleyber Torres?
  17. Father Time is not undefeated. He was soundly trounced by Jamie Moyer…
  18. Every Whit Everywhere All At Once?
  19. But WAFL is a much better acronym than WAAA. One is reminiscent of a tasty breakfast treat, while the other looks like a literary representation of a whiny sound…
  20. But more important, he’s Felipe Lopez. Not like that pan-dimensional jackass freak Whit Merrifield…
  21. I think there is a clear issue with the interpretation of the baseline for both WAR (Wins Above Replacement) and WAA (Wins Above Average). This makes is abundantly clear that we need to bring back the best measurement ever developed - WAFL (Wins Above Felipe Lopez). You can argue about what a replacement player is or what an average player is. But we all know what Felipe Lopez is…
  22. How about that? So according to WAA, Whit Merrifield isn’t even as good as himself. This could get deeply philosophical…
  23. Average based on what? I think that’s the way they say it works, but is it really mathematically true for an average starter (which is not at all the same as an average player) to be 2 fWAR?
  24. I don’t know what sort of offer Boston made. Reportedly it was more guaranteed money than Texas offered, but the Rangers’ contract can be with up to $63mill over 3 with the incentives and options. And I suppose, like Eflin, it is possible Texas native Eovaldi liked the speak of just going home. Maybe it’s time the Sox negotiated with some New England natives for once…
  25. Not worth anything…
