    Rich Hill was bad? FIP and fWAR say he outpitched Wacha!!
  2. notin
    Well, that’s kind of a circular logic. Most bargain basement players are signed to one year deals…

    The D could have a trickle-down effect if they’d just do something about SS. Internal options (Reyes? Hamilton?) won’t give them a Gold Glove candidate, but would be an improvement. Moving Kike to 2b would be a step up over Valdez. When (if?) Story returns, he could take over 2b and push Kike to CF. That won’t happen, especially with Duvall looming. But even Story at SS is better than Kike…

    Sure that strategy looks bad when you solely focus on the disasters. Did Wacha, Hill and Paxton make the Bargain Bin strategy look bad? And do you really think Kluber’s contract is on par with Sale’s regarding impact to the team? Sale’s deal was signed almost 5 years ago and Kluber’s still ends first…

    And that’s been good for San Diego. But Wacha pitching like this was hardly an easily anticipated outcome. I’d say most people were surprised by his success last year…

    And that’s probably why the Sox have limited spending on the rotation to short deals. The only other major pitching expenditure was Sale, and so far he’s been costing the Sox roughly $2mill per IP…

    He wouldn’t be able to do that in Boston with Hernandez and Valdez up the middle…

    Thought you were down on John Wayne…

    Even if he did, Cohen had an outer Cohen that can outbid him…

    Are Charlotte and San Antonio watching with their fingers crossed?
  12. notin
    Does Wacha meet that? His 2022 was a bit of an outlier for his past 6 seasons…
  13. notin
    It’s less team friendly than I like. If Wacha is ineffective, you get him for the full 4 years…

    The Sox had a similar clause in John Lackeys contract…

    Do knuckleballers still exist?
  16. notin
    Actually most guys when going to the pen can add 3-4 mph to a fastball since they don’t have to pace themselves. You see this happen every All Star game when pitcher normally a starter just goes one inning. Not to mention facing a hitter one time per game.

    Well they got more out of him than the Yankees have from Rodon…

    If you get a college pitcher in the first round, he can beat that timeline…

    Contending team? No white flags here…

    Finally. Jansen gets them 1-2-3. In his last 8 games before tonight: 8G 7IP 7ER 5H 9BB 9.00ERA .965OPSA Hopefully he’s now turned that corner…

    Cora has been so formulaic with his bullpen management. It’s like role is more important than performance…

    11 years ago!!!!

    Joe Kelly wasn’t homegrown. He was acquired via trade with Allen Craig for John Lackey
  25. notin
    I meant to say starting pitcher. I don’t like it, but Houck does qualify. In fact, with Houck, Bello and Crawford all in the rotation right now, this might be the first time in a while the Sox have had 3 starting pitchers that came up through the system…
