No referring to myself in third person?
-
Berti also knows how to get on base. I’m still on that fad…
-
Second one yesterday. But would Miami?
-
There is also some understandable doubt about him replicating last year. But he could ALDS so just go to middle relief. Last year, Schreiber pitched in 22 games that were high pressure outings per aLI. Compared to Barnes, who had 9, and none after May 17. Schreiber was the Sox “relief ace” who kept getting brought in to face Bichette and Vlad. Even if he struggles, he can probably thrive in a reduced pressure role just facing, say, whoever is due up in the 7th. A rebuilding team might move him. But are the Sox rebuilding? If they were, they wouldn’t be looking to sign Bogaerts; they’d be looking to move Story…
-
Notin wouldn’t be opposed to Berti in the right deal…
-
My point.
-
Maybe. Five years of Duran (OPS+ 69, Surplus value $5.9mill) is valued roughly the same as five years of Mariners OF Jarred Kelenic (OPS+ 66, surplus value $5.6mill) Change of scenery for both?
-
McGuire didn’t?
-
Sox fans also have a weird definition of “dumpster diving.” Apparently it applies to any player not an All Star in his prime. Schreiber and Springs were dumpster dives. And, as it turns out, good ones. Diekman and Strahm were legitimate MLB pitchers the Sox acquired by signing them to market-rate contracts. That’s not “dumpster diving” in my book…
-
We’re talking about Tom Murphy, not Sean Murphy. Tom Murphy is a backup catcher whose no better than anything the Sox have now. Reese McGuire’s defensive metrics make him a much better option to be a starter than Tom Murphy…
-
Obviously fans have zero input. I didn’t get what they saw in Springs, either. But apparently he did have some skills. My assumption was “well, that’s what you get when you’re trading away Sam Travis. Garbage gets you garbage.” At the very least, this whole scenario has given me at least some optimism for Easton McGee…
-
The important thing is hopefully they learned not to give up so early on guys they liked for some reason, which could be why they didn’t give up on Schreiber after 2021…
-
Because he knew he could pull Pivetta and Schreiber out of his ass? He gave up early on a couple guys who gave him no reason not to…
-
He did like something, but he also didn’t exactly go o ask in on either one. You also have to wonder if what he saw in Springs was what he saw in Garrett Richards (a high and in this case substance-aided spin rate). With Perez it was his cutter that Bloom liked, much like how he also saw something in Pivetta (curveball, I think)…
-
Perez did have a 4.72 ERA across two organizations and 173 games before ever setting foot in Fenway. He wasn’t some big developmental miss; he’s just a guy who has his career year somewhere else. Springs only pitched 20 IP in Boston. We really had no time to make an opinion one way or the other…
-
Well, the Sox can afford to deplete it a little. For example, BTV also accepts a deal of Jarren Duran for Paul Sewald, in a move that makes sense for both teams. Except Seattle. The thing is, should Boston really be trying to bolster their backup catcher corps. McGuire is already in Boston, is even cheaper than Murphy, is controlled longer, and was worth 0.9 bWAR in 36 games…
-
BTV values Murphy similar to RHP Connor Seabold. Deal?
-
Zero chance Miami trades 3 MLB players for one prospect in A ball…
-
Devlin Granberg! Come on down!!
-
Not Sean Murphy?
-
I don’t follow this logic at all. Lopez is a lesser pitcher than Cabrera, with a greater salary and fewer tears of control, but will be costlier? I have to think the Marlins know their own pitchers better than that…
-
To be fair to Lopez, he never gets to pitch against the Marlins…
-
They had internal options for a 4th OF, including Refsnyder and Cordero…
-
It was the perfect compliment to their bullpen of LHPs. Except that Arroyo guy, who insists on batting right-handed for some reason…
-
So no Kimbrel nor Chapman…
