    It feels likely. We shall see but I think they will to move on while dealing him for something useful…

    Not if fWAR stands for Weight Above Replacement…

    Casas is frustrating but he can hit. I’m hoping he isnt first option at 1b, but he’s ahead of Campbell. If Campbell isn’t traded, he likely heads to Worcester, plays LF, and waits for the right injury. Not sure what this whole “wrinkle” in the plans is…

    Actually the Brewers are paying Woodruff $32mill tjis year. Prior to accepting a QO, Woodruff declined a mutual option and accepted a $10mill buyout. All the more reason they would prefer moving him over Peralta…

    Oscar. A bit of a hot dog, but every kid wants to be like him…

    So… Alonso and Realmuto?
  7. notin
    I think Bregman moves on. Alonso will be cheaper than Bregman and a better fit than Schwarber. The Sox will then get another INF for 2b or 3b and add another SO, most likely through trades involving Duran and Bello…

    I didn’t know it was moon that made that call. I say it isn’t their last pitcher. And if we both worked in the Sox FO, I would outrank moon. For the record, it’s still November. Lots and lots of things can happen between now and March…

    So you’re not high on Sandoval?
  10. notin
    So the “complimentary piece” is the most expensive one? Also the Sox were right to walk away from Ryan last year. I’d rather have Tolle…

    I didn’t comment about Framber’s pitching; I said he’s an *******. Because he is. Tell me where the Sox said Gray was their #2.
  12. notin
    Ok what’s wrong with Bregman? There are definite pros to signing Bregman, since the second tier 1b options are better than the second tier options at other INF positions. He will also very likely cost more than Alonso or Schwarber, which should make all those fans who demand Henry soend more as happy…

    1. Where did the Sox say “this is our #2”? 2. You’re avoiding why you thought Cease was a much better option. 3. By naming options, you’ve set yourself up to complain about any other pitcher the Sox acquired, save two. 4. Framber Valdez is an a-hole and needs to be avoided at all costs…
  14. notin
    Ooh!! Ooh!! I know! I know! Cease is a #2 because he was signed by a team other than the Red Sox. Gray is not a #2 because he was acquired by the Red Sox…

    Not what those numbers really mean. ERA is per 9 IP, not game. But more important, it depends on defense and ballpark and more than just pitcher ability. With FIP (fielding independent pitching) Gray was 11th in MLB with a 3.39 and 7th in xFIP with a 3.07…

    Gray was 7th in MLB in xFIP last year and 11th in FIP. Up there with all the big boys. He’s an upgrade over Giolito…

    Technically they haven’t lost Bassett yet. He still could re-sign…
  18. notin
    That’s about as vague a definition as can be. I mean, I do at least give you credit for answering. Gray was 7th in MLB in xFIP last year, trailing only Crochet, Skubal, Cristopher Sánchez, Logan Webb, Skenes, and Yamamoto. That’s not “fairly good” very consistently? Are only the top 6 considered #2 or better? The more I look at Gray, the better I realize he is…

    I’ve seen worse, including one with a similar name. And one back on another site with Bigfoot in his name who ranted incessantly about how Theo “Guitar Boy” Epstein had ruined the Sox, and he kept this going through the 2007 World Series. I’m hoping he was a casual fan with a satirical alter ego…

    So you didn’t question the hyperbolic implication that Dylan Cease was a mediocre pitcher? I can’t decide if you have either unrealistic standards or just complain about every Sox move that doesn’t involve a perennial All Star. So let’s start with the basics - what exactly is a “#2 starter”? I ask this a lot; very few answer…
  21. notin
    Doubtful Seager is either…
  22. notin
    Well at least they didn’t saddle us with a mediocre SP for 7 years like Toronto did with Dylan Cease and his 4.55 ERA…

    The Sox have 12 starting pitchers on the 40 man roster, not counting Houck or Criswell. They have the depth to handle question marks. Im willing to bet Crawford is an option
  24. notin
    Errors are overrated. Just given out based on some guy’s opinion. The argument for keeping Duran is he has most definitely proved his effectiveness as a leadoff hitter in a way Abreu cannot duplicate…
  25. notin
    The Betts trade was just payback for sticking them with Crawford and Beckett. Also Dave Roberts was certainly more useful than Henry Stanley…
