No. Tony LaRussa gave a massive backhanded compliment to Edgar Renteria as he left, saying he wouldn’t be able to handle Boston because he was too sweet. LaRussa very possibly meant “he’ll fail without me,” but when Renteria had a bad season (possibly due to injury), the myth about MLB players not being able to handle Boston was born…
-
More mysterious than the NFL’s QBR, a stat that baffles both mathematicians and treasure hunters alike as they search for its meaning and (very well ) hidden value…
-
The list of players who “couldn’t handle Boston” overlaps in a big way with the list of free agents who went and got injured. I mean, Price? His first season in Boston, he threw 230 innings and won 17 games. I’m pretty sure his downward trend after that was more due to aging, worn out ligaments and tendons than it was to anything Gerry Callahan had to say…
-
Groome should make his debut at some point this year…
-
If only Sale would just adopt Eovaldi’s healthy lifestyle…
-
So you’re fully on board with the “he’s never getting injured again!!” bandwagon based on one season. And he’s clearly worth the $100 (or likely more) risk?
-
I’ve theorized all along that the Sox would get a RHH outfielder to platoon with Bradley and to, well, just be an actual fourth outfielder on the bench. Pham signed with the Reds. The better remaining outfielders on the market (Conforto, Goodwin, Eaton) are all left-handed hitters. Certainly (with the exception of Conforto) they could be good backups, but not platoon partners. It looks like Bradley will start more than even I realized…
-
He didn’t commit 4 years to Paxton. He gave him one of those “2 years but we know you’re hurt for the first year” contracts…
-
There’s still a massive difference in people “wasting money” by commuting to work and spending it on baseball games. Was your point that people who didn’t like baseball games were wasting money going to them anyway? MLB made a record $10billion in 2019. They still have interested fans…
-
Eovaldi goes one season without getting hurt for the first time in eight years and now people think he’s immune?? And got 8 years left?
-
No he didn’t. He posted a -6.2 UZR.
-
Donaldson has only one time had a negative UZR. Decline or just a bad season? Too early to tell. But if UZR is a good judge, LeMahieu is average to below at 3b. Not at all a Gold Glove Pedigree. His career UZR at 3b is actually worse than Bogaerts’ is at shortstop…
-
The money baseball makes is directly tied to fan interest. The price of gas is not based on the volume of traffic (although if it was, more traffic would mean more expensive gas)…
-
No good. Jonah Hill has moved on from the A’s to become the White House Chief of Staff…
-
Ranger Suarez last year?
-
But the one in Anaheim doesn’t… -
The shortened spring are clearly the reasons for not only the expanded roster, but also the “ghost runner.” Now does the use of a ghost runner up the appeal of Duran or Billy Hamilton? Bearing in mind that using them that way means removing the player who made the last out the previous inning from the game…
-
Not to mention a left fielder who can barely handle the defensive requirements to play DH…
-
So after all the posts about the Sox starting the “inferior defender” Bogaerts at SS over Story, you then think the Yankees should start LeMahieu at 3b over Donaldson?!?!
-
Why do a “pen game” when there are 2 extra roster spots early in the season? Call up Crawford or Groome or someone to pitch…
-
DFA candidates to me are, in whatever order Arauz, Davis, Tyler, Valdez, Bazardo and maybe R Hernandez
-
Think Strahm is that high on the list just weeks after signing an MLB deal for $3mill?
-
His problem is Correa might re-enter the market next year. Lindor and Seager are still the benchmarks every agent will want…
-
Dustin Pedroia also has 3 World Series rings. That’s also the number of games he played in 2018…
-
It’s 28 for the first month.
