Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But you’re not listening to him… -
The longest of long shots, but also probably the best one the Sox have. After all, if he wants to play with Yoshida (which he probably does but won’t let it be a factor in his decision), the Sox are the only team that can accommodate him. Of course, Ohtani didn’t hire an agent to get him a play date. He’ll go for the money…
-
How is Senga a reasonable comp to Yoshida?
-
Back then $160mill would buy you the AL West…
-
I think he’s talking about overreactions to two games…
-
I think that applies to everyone in last year’s free agent class. How many of these people who expected Yoshida to go for less had Brandon Nimmo pegged for 8 years $162mill? (What a difference 20 years makes. In 2001, that kind of deal gets you a 27yo Manny Ramirez. In 2022, it only gets you a 30yo Brandon Nimmo.)

So it’s all 5Gold’s fault!!!

Maybe they were the same guys who wrote these? https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2019/3/25/18281381/ichiro-suzuki-scouting-report-99-do-not-acquire
-
I’m ok if he turns in a count-working slap hitter, as long as he improves…
-
Maybe those 6.5 runs are influenced by the Seabold/Winckowski/early Bello starting rotation from last September that was then relieved by a bullpen that created more runs than Applebee’s chili and ExLax combined…
-
Hopefully Crawford pushed both down a notch after yesterday. If so, maybe Ort is next man down? Or Bello. Either way, if Houck returns to the bullpen, we’re talking about the 7th and 8th options at reliever. I’m not going to sweat the mop up guys when the starting 2b and SS are a bit of a mess…
-
I don’t get why he isn’t leading off…
-
But while the early returns on Yoshida (.662OPS) look weak, he isn’t paid much more than Benintendi (.650). We may have reached the point where the 5 year $15-18mill contracts just don’t but what they used to…
-
It’s nice that he’s been doing that down in Worcester, but against MLB pitching his career is 8%. I’d be more interested in Duran if he at least could defend CF. Has shown any improvement in that area this year?

4/17 Angels @ SOX 11:10AM ET
notin replied to SPLENDIDSPLINTER's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Sox called up Jake Faria likely to give IP today prior to an immediate demotion. I mean, they guy had an ERA over 10 in Worcester. They likely figured he could be called up, pitch, get DFAd and clear waivers all within 72-96 hours… -
If he continues to strike out over 30% of the time, this is a non-issue..
-
No. But the Sox weren’t out of range to begin with and did improve. I think they are more likely to insist fifth than first, but I also think the most likely outcome is neither place…
-
We also know by now it’s not permanent. And last season, the last place finish said more about the other teams in the AL East than it did the Sox…
-
Oh you’re just saying that because they’ve finished either first or fifth 10 times the past 12 seasons…
-
He should use baseballs…
-
Not really. Mostly there’s been some weird overreactions on this board that make it seem that way…
-
A week ago, Whitlock was too homer-prone. Today he’s our best starter. To be honest, I don’t agree with either sentence. But he will be in the rotation until he proves he doesn’t belong…
-
I actually think Whitlock and Houck to the pan, but that’s just me. And seriously, probably just me. But if Sale, Kluber, Paxton, Pivetta and Bello can get going, the bullpen anchored Jansen, Martin, Schreiber, Houck, Whitlock, Winckowski, Bleier could shorten a lot of games. Of course that rotation should always have an injury or two
-
Whitlock is a good pitcher that had a bad game last time. If the Sox can get Paxton, Whitlock and Bello going, this team might not be so bad…
-
Kutter will be sent to Worcester when Paxton returns…
