    Yes among other numbers ” It’ll be a costly move for the Yankees, with Hicks still owed $19.57MM by way of $9.8MM salaries in 2024-25, and a $1MM buyout on a $12.5MM club option for 2026. He’ll also be owed the remainder of his $10.8MM salary in 2023.” Source: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/05/yankees-designate-aaron-hicks-for-assignment.html

    More like $27.8mill. Hicks has maybe $7.3mill remaining on his $10.785 mill for this year. Then it’s $9.785 mill each for 2024 and 2025. Then a $1mill buyout of his option for 2026…

    You don’t think it’s 1. That the 3 shortstops ahead of him are injured and 2. That Kike is actually a good defensive player and, forum opinions aside, the best defensive option the Sox have at the position…

    Are we winning now or not? I would prefer Giolito next year over Bassitt today. Giolito in August (and extended) is even better…

    Gausman certainly looked questionable at the time and Bassitt gave mixed emotions, at least with me. But if Bloom was holding out for off-season with Ohtani, Urias, Giolito, Montgomery, Snell, and Nola along with some potential reclamation projects like Flaherty, Marquez, Clevinger, Montas and Severino (please not the last two). Some of them will certainly be extended (Nola? Montgomery?). But certainly not all…

    Arguing over that aspect is a tad questionable given it’s still just two pitchers on the past 75 years…

    Two examples, one three quarters of a century ago and the second only one quarter of a century ago. Not really much better…

    It’s a size that works for Braves’ pitchers. They don’t have anyone that small now. Spencer Strider is listed at 6’0”, but also at 215lbs. Radial Iglesias is probably their thinnest frame, but he’s also 6’2”…

    Not sure why we don’t just use the word “abilities”. It’s funny how the baseball community likes to over-explain some things and still misses out on how complicated they really are…
  10. notin
    Also citing examples from over 70 years ago really emphasizes the point about how rare it is…

    6’0” 170lb Warren Spahn was 218-247 3.20 from age 33 on…
  12. notin
    From BTV Yorke (9.8), Anthony (6.5) and Mata (3.8) for Lucas Giolito (20.8) Or Romero (8.7) and Walter (7.8) for Jordan Montgomery (16.1)…

    Sure it can. Coach little league. You have 10 year olds who run under the ball and then try to follow it(which NEVER works). By the time they’re 12, some of them can actual do the high lever calculus involved in determining where the ball is (approximately) going to land and run directly to that spot. It’s straight up learning…

    Paxton has 5 IP. Not ready to put him atop any lists yet…

    You can’t teach instincts. That’s the definition of instincts…
  16. notin
    For the record, you can teach speed. You just can’t learn it…

    Right. Trade Mayer now…
  18. notin
    He’s becoming a Pedro Ciriaco-esque cult hero…

    And not related to the fact that any pitcher who doesn’t have a signature ungodly breaking pitch and can’t top 96mph repeatedly is stuck in AAA purgatory?

    He crossed it for Devers. Three years later…

    Time travel is real!! You just have to understand it only works in one direction. And isn’t very fast…

    Folks say that during the year they win the ring. But afterwards? It’s a weak defense of the contract at best. Was Price worth it? It’s arguable that deal was part of the reason for dealing Betts…
  23. notin
    Maybe. But he was also a Cuban star and the Sox needed OF help (Bradley still had a career OPS under .600 and Betts had just started learning center field - not right field, center field)…
  24. notin
    Two similar age players with similar backgrounds as of now yielding similar results…

    Definitely early Yoshida after 155 PA - .888OPS Fukudome after 155 PA - .889OPS
