    I’d go over just Rafaela. Not sure any of our younger pitching is much of an enticement right now..

    The problem with the old schedule is it rewarded teams in weak divisions…

    Devers has an OPS of .697 over his last 26 games…
  4. notin
    Right. So you’re saying that Houck’s issues with facing the lineup a second and third time can be mitigated if he would just let himself get obliterated in the first…

    Just win 6 of every 10…

    And clearly not pitching

    He’s was comparing tattoo volume…

    BTV accepts Ceddane Rafaela to Miami for Jesus Luzardo. This deal makes a lot of sense for both sides. Miami, even after dealing Lopez, has excellent starting pitcher depth (Alcantara, Garrett, Rogers, Cabrera, and Perez) . Luzardo is certainly good, but also arbitration-eligible after this season. Their outfield situation is horrific. They do have some struggling young players who might break through, but even then, Rafaela is versatile enough to take over SS. Will it happen? Oh hell no. Should it? It does make a good amount sense for both teams…

    While I understand option 1, I still take #2 since the bad contract is only one year…
  10. notin
    Certainly. Although in like the idea of keeping Crawford in the bullpen as relievers can impact more games, and, let’s face it, the game is down my passing out starting pitching. Of course since I’ve always advocated for having Crawford in the pen along with Houck, Whitlock, Winckowski, and Schreiber, at some point, the Sox do need someone to actually start games. Bello can’t start them all…

    Pivetta hasn’t lost speed on his fastball and isn’t at the point in his career where slumps turn into retirement. I have more faith in him bouncing back…
  12. notin
    I would imagine he’s behind Pivetta on the depth chart…
  13. notin
    I agree mostly, but that wasn’t my who created that list…

    And will people overreact to one start from Kluber? Like they did for one start at shortstop from Dalbec? Even if the Sox win Kluber’s start?
  15. notin
    Maybe they start, but both of them have started and neither exactly dazzled in the rotation either. Kluber was a very low risk gamble that didn’t work out. I don’t mind that they signed him. They needed rotation help and he certainly has a long history of being a successful starter. But I’m also glad it was only for one year and glad they removed him from the rotation…

    Not necessarily given the way Walter, Murphy and Mata have been going so far this year…

    You do understand this team is winning right now, right?
  18. notin
    You have a better chance at being struck by lightening immediately after winning the lottery…

    I’ve repeatedly expressed that willingness to sign a one year deal was also a likely factor…
  20. notin
    And you’re sure that’s what happened?
  21. notin
    That and Kluber was likely the only one of the three to take a one year deal. Plus Eovaldi and Wacha quite often don’t have a healthy arm between them…
  22. notin
    Wacha: 127 IP, 1.5 fWAR Eovaldi: 109 IP, 1.0 fWAR Kluber: 164 IP, 3.0 fWAR Kluber was older, but that doesn’t mean you ignore the obvious and omnipresent injury problems from the other two pitchers…
  23. notin
    He’s been a K machine lately. You can’t run strike three…
  24. notin
    That home run traveled an estimated 260 feet and would not have been out of any park in MLB history accept the Polo Grounds…
  25. notin
    There can be no other reason…
