    I wouldn’t say here sucks; he’s a decent pitcher whose attendance is unreliable…
  2. notin
    And while that price is far from prohibitive, it could also be an issue for 3 more years. It’s not much less than Kluber, but 4 times the length…

    Maybe he thinks he’s the greatest boneheaded manager in Sox history?
  4. notin
    If his option is worth exercising, his AAV doubles this year…

    No CB Bucknor?
  6. notin
    But he’s not as cheap as you keep saying. His $6.5mill AAV only lasts if the Padres decline his 2 yr $30mill team option and Wacha exercises his player option for the next 3 years. So his $6.5mill AAV only lasts if he isn’t worth it…

    Does a .260 BABIPA? A couple days ago I assumed alike had more throwing errors than Tampa, but didn’t verify it. I went and verified it. Kike had 12 at the time; Tampa had 11. Oh and San Diego had 14. Think Wacha’s 31% GB plays the same with the Sox infield?

    Except game 2, where the Sox battled back from a 4-0 lead to fail to finish off the game by not sliding…

    Plan C is Dalbec, at least for this year…

    How many backup plans should a team have?
  11. notin
    I’m glad someone is keeping score. Out of curiosity, what post did it knock off the top of the list? (Presumably not this one.)
  12. notin
    Being counted on by who? They could just as easily be traded. I doubt the Sox themselves are banking on them; anyone with any experience in MLB has certainly seen even the highest ranked prospects flounder, wash out, or settle in at mediocrity…

    Do we really know when Dermody embraced Christianity? Not uncommon for adults to convert. Of course, he is from Iowa, where it’s also very common. Still, brainwashed or not, he’s young enough to have grown up around social media and old enough to have seen these scandals before. He gets no free pass from me…

    They’re excited about the potential. No harm in that…
  15. notin
    He’s a bigot. Racism and homophobia are just subsets of bigotry

    The only thing they can be counted on is to make minimum wage for a few years, which keeps the overall payroll in check. Hopefully they can do more, and we certainly want them to. But we can count on them to make league minimum, which isn’t a nothing attribute…

    He wasn’t a young kid; he was 30. Josh Hader was a young kid when he did similar things. Dermody was an adult…

    Well, right-handed hitters…
  19. notin
    Either that or just keep him around for the next decade and hope it works out…

    Yamamoto is 5’10”. Top shelf is out of his reach, too..,
  21. notin
    Devers has 1.2fWAR. Extension justified?
  22. notin
    His OPS sway from Coors was apparently the same as Bogaets’ OPS away from Fenway. And Story crushed him in defensive metrics…
  23. notin
    Even now, if the Sox played: C - Wong 1b - Turner 2b - Hernandez SS - Reyes (and Chang when healthy) 3b - Devers LF - Verdugo CF - Duran RF - Duvall DH - Yoshida That’s not a terrible defense. It’s not elite but it would be a MASSIVE improvement over any alignment the Sox currently use. (Rafaela would upgrade SS, but that ain’t happening.) Id like to keep Casas in there and would even demote Duran, but that leaves Turner at 2b. Ten years ago, I could see putting him there. But not today…
  24. notin
    That was mitigated by playing him at 2b, which worked out to perfection defensively. But once he went down in December, Bloom had plenty of time to get a replacement. And while Mondesi is a terrific talent that got displaced in KC, if your problem is SS injuries, he’s not the ideal solution. Iglesias was out there. Ditto the much better Elvis Andrus. Not sure why either was ignored. Maybe they knew what they had in Chang? I don’t dungs it likely considering how long they stick with Kike at SS before giving Chang a chance. I like Duvall as a player, but through some re-arranging, it turns out he was the replacement for Story. Andrus at SS, Kike in CF is a good defensive start. As much as the Bradley acquisition was trashed, was there really anything wrong defensively with the Verdugo-Hernandez-Bradley OF? So much better than Yoshida-Duvall-Verdugo.

    Unlike Sale, Story had virtually no IL time in his career before signing in Boston…
