    I just don’t like Ort…
  2. notin
    If he values Ort at all, it’s differently than I do. I think Ort is far, far likelier to clear waivers here
  3. notin
    His point was very specific about messing up by signing Story over Bogaerts. You can’t discredit that decision based on stuff that happened after it, like all of 2022…
  4. notin
    You defer to Yankee fans far too often. I’d say they were dead wrong about Ottavino. In fact, I believe they also don’t like IKF, which means he’s gotta be awesome. He should be about Boston’s new shortstop…
  5. notin
    Absolutely. Again, why is he going over Ort, who would clear waivers?
  6. notin
    1. It didn’t figure into the decision to sign Story. 2. Story was injured and not a shortstop, making comparisons more difficult.

    If you go by fWAR, from 2018-2021: Bogaerts 16.3 Story 15.8 Not much difference over a 4 year stretch…
  8. notin
    It’s certainly a more important question when deciding who to sign long term…

    Xander was ages 28-30. Devers was 23-25. Which one will better over the next decade?
  10. notin
    Left one at closer and the other at set up. It worked great in 2021. Get someone else to start…
  11. notin
    Actually you should get the complaint right. Bloom’s mistake was not getting someone to start in place of Sale. The end of the 2021 season showed us all a Whitlock/Houck combination was excellent at closing out games. That should have been left in place rather than bouncing one or both in and out of the rotation…
  12. notin
    Yes. He ended 2021 struggling through a bad 10 IP stretch…
  13. notin
    So now you’re changing your complaint. And to something else completely unverified…
  14. notin
    Barnes was an All Star closer the year before, and early on they did use Diekman in that role a lot…
  15. notin
    They had several, but they all struggled…
  16. notin
    Did he ever specifically say he wanted a RHH outfielder to platoon with JBJ? I recall it being much more open-ended than that, mentioning an outfielder, which certainly could have meant as a starter. But the point is, eventually Story filled the need. In March…
  17. notin
    It’s certainly possible. When Kike was first brought in, many assumed it was to play 2b. And maybe it was until Story signed…
  18. notin
    But we can count Story…
  19. notin
    But NESN isn’t necessarily Red Sox personnel…
  20. notin
    Given that they were linked to Suzuki at the time, he may also have envisioned JBJ as a full time center fielder at one point, too…
  21. notin
    Only if you don’t count Story. And Refsnyder…
  22. notin
    By who?
  23. notin
    Great, so you’re saying teams got high octane output from notorious cocaine abusers…
  24. notin
    If we ever see a week where Paxton, Sale, Kluber, Whitlock, Pivetta and Bello are all healthy, do we (1) send Bello to Worcester or (2) go with a 6 man rotation?
  25. notin
    Or it means Sale and Paxton spent too much time on the IL…
