At the very least, all of them move up one rung on the depth ladder. And there will be injuries…
-
Kluber is in uncharted territory. He simply cannot throw as hard as he did even last year. At least Pivetta hasn’t lost any velocity on his fastball. In fact, he’s up 0.4mph from last year…
-
They want him to last all year?
-
If Atlanta didn’t trust him, they had an odd way of showing it. He lead the NL in saves and games finished last year. And they did have other closing options…
-
Pivetta. Crawford looks very solid in the bullpen and Pivetta has some hope left…
-
If Kluber goes again, it will certainly be the Wong decision. (I had to beat 5Gold to the punch there.)
-
I hope the Sox don’t get overreliant on Paxton just yet. Good so far, but 11IP is 11IP…
-
Yeah, but your post lead to another conclusion. I have no how good or bad Casas will be, like all of us. But I do know that his sub-.200 batting average will mean absolutely nothing in 3 years…
-
I want Houck in the pen and Kluber DFAd…
-
Seriously? The guy is 23 years old with 240 career PA. A year ago, older players like Duran and Winckowski were labeled on this board as “not Major League material.” And yet now both have suddenly become major contributors…
-
Mostly Bleier and Pivetta…
-
They did sign Alex Gonzalez twice…
-
I’d say he looks good at the plate. But in the field I’ve seen him sometimes look like Scott Bakula does in the opening sequence of every episode of Quantum Leap…
-
They use the UZR system to determine degree of difficulty. As for specific game circumstances, not sure. Should they? I mean, Benintendi made probably the most important play by a Sox left fielder in franchise history. Does that make him a better defensive player than Yaz?
-
Is a player with 10 infield singles in 10 plate appearances a better hitter or a worse hitter than a player who is 1 for 10 but with a home run?
-
Exactly my point. And I would want my shortstop to have a bigger impact on my defense…
-
Not at all. One great play doesn’t make up for 10 routine ones in any defensive metric. That’s why I said it’s not a measure of ability…
-
Probably happens all the time. But you also have different defensive baselines for each positions. So the negative RAR in your case is relative to a different set of players than the positive one. There is some positional adjustment for this reason.
-
WAR measures accomplishment, not ability. Which player will have a greater defensive accomplishment - the one with 45 chances or the one with 159?
-
And Schwarber has -0.2 fWAR. Bogaerts has 1.9, but comparing the WAR of a shortstop and a left fielder is not really equal…
-
Again, both Mondesi and Chang are injured. Kike isn’t playing because he’s friends with Cora; he’s literally the last man standing and best current option the Sox have…
-
You don’t platoon Hornsby!!
-
2023 YTD Schwarber -.693 OPS Bogaerts - .787 OPS Yoshida - .871 OPS
-
But who on the Sox is better?
-
Nothing against Valdez, but Reyes gets the night off!?!! He’s been our 2023 Rogers Hornsby!!
