No. Taking those winning percentages tells you what would have happened last year, when they mattered. The Sox will benefit somewhat from free games vs the AL East simply because they played so poorly in those games and they played a huge chunk of them when the entire rotation was on the IL.
-
Toronto went 16-3 against the Red Sox. Next year, they play the Sox 13 times. At the same winning pct, they would be 11-2 against Boston. Think they go 5-1 in those other 6 games? Especially when you remember they were only 76-67 (.531) in games against teams other than the Red Sox…

The other teams in the Sox division didn’t have a .342 winning percentage in the division…

Maybe he needs to go to Hollywood, where it is enough…

Actually, his career OPS vs the Yankees is only .769. Recently, it was .858 in 2022 and .816 in 2021. They’re not his whipping post. His best opponent (100 PA min) is the Cleveland Guardians/Guardians with a career 1.086 OPS…

For Benintendi?

Experts in their craft. Both of them. Just ask them..

You undersell it. This forum is a free-for-all mishmash of Dunning-Kruger, Recency Effect and Backfire Effect, coated lightly with the Bias Blind Spot. I’d admit I’m just as guilty as the rest of you, but that would violate the Bias Blind Spot. So clearly, this applies to everyone else…

Lee has done nothing in MLB so far, but we’re talking about a whipping 20 plate appearances. I imagine his recent domestic issues were a factor in his passing through waivers unclaimed. Still I’d rather have the pitcher, even if he’s probably just a RP…
-
If Sale and Paxton are both healthy, the Sox could and should be in the postseason hunt. However, as conditional statements go, I think that might be on par with “if I just flap my arms hard enough”…
-
Are career numbers really relevant here? Career numbers treat Devers’ 2017 (age 20) and 2018 (age 21) as equal to his 2022 season. Is he really the same player as he was in 2017?
-
Shoring up the middle infield could also be done with a Duran trade. Either a SS (Mateo?) or a 2b (Nick Madrigal?) works for both teams. Then use Story’s vacated 40 man spot for RHRP Alex Reyes, who can be a huge difference maker in healthy. Andrew Chafin would be the second choice if Reyes isn’t healthy (which is very possible, as St.Louis non-tendered him for a reason)…

Wait. Are Elvis’ kids teenagers? If so, a one year league min deal might work. Maybe not today, but in time…

From where the Gator bit it!! I knew it!!
-
Maybe the OF defense wasn’t the motivation to move Renfroe. Maybe they just decided to sell high as part of a rebuild? If you’re trying to make a sustainable farm system, maybe you have to make the occasional questionable (to others) trade…

Mike Greenwell appreciates being remembered…

But I’m saying that Gatorsaurus Rex probably only needs one bite to eat a golfer whole…

The leash went from around his neck back inside the gator’s mouth. So I assume the owner stopped looking

1. Scaly Feral Cats was actually the name of my band in high school. 2. Gators bite. Remember that kid at Disney? Not to mention I have to believe this fellow was able to get that big by snacking on far too many who didn’t get the true meaning to “water hazard”.

So which player is most likely to miss Spring Training after eating a tainted blueberry muffin at a restaurant with the name “Sally” in its name? And which player will miss time after leading the team in alligator bites? How about python bites?
-
Honestly I think Alfaro has the edge. He has the opt out clauses, which you usually don’t give to a player unless you’re serious about him. And the Sox don’t exactly have Pudge Fisk and Pudge Rodriguez behind the plate. With just a decent spring, Alfaro can put himself into the catching picture. With a great spring, he might find himself starting…
-
I didn’t include Allen, but I said the same a week or two ago. I also included Edwin Diaz, but he’s probably the least likely of the bunch. Although if the Sox used that spot to grab Fulmer or Reyes, it might be better use…
-
That’s a bizarrely specific question…
-
Is MI depth a bigger need than pitching depth? I actually think OF might be that bigger need. And frankly, I could see Alfaro flat out impressing enough to grab that spot. Especially since, unlike Goodrum, he has opt outs… I don’t think Goodrum is close to a lock for that role…

Kelly was great in the postseason, but there was a debate on this board about whether or not he should even be on the postseason roster…
