  1. Strahm has been terrific, but much like Whitlock/Greg Maddux comparisons, time will change your mind here…
  2. Robles is a guy whose numbers don’t tell the story about how bad he is actually pitching. And his numbers aren’t even that good…
  3. What notable player was given up for Rizzo? And of Bloom swung a deal for a player like Schwarber without giving up anything, why do you think that’s a bad thing?
  4. Kyle Schwarber doesn’t count? The guy has a .910 OPS and 25 HRs when the Sox acquired him. I’d count that as a notable acquisition…
  5. The thing is, they don’t have to prove themselves in Boston to help. They just have to prove themselves enough in the minors to make other GMs notice…
  6. I believe as this was a 2023 depth chart, Strahm has not yet been determined to return…
  7. If anyone in the Sox pen is fooling fans, it’s Robles, whose hard hit% and barrel % and exit velocity are right up there with Brasier’s…
  8. Why sign an RP7/RP8 when we have a perfectly (in)capable one already in Barnes? (Pretend this is green)
  9. Yes, the plan is to replace them with worse players. You found the flaw…
  10. Well done. He does need to do that more often…
  11. Hardly unique behavior…
  12. Even your input that I feel is motivated by your fandom of the Evil Empire is welcome. I’ve never seen a Sox forum that didn’t have serious, non-trolling Yankee fans. And frankly I think that if there is such thing as a Yankee-free Sox forum, it isn’t any good..,
  13. I don’t think no he’s a troll, but I do think most of his proposals for what the Sox should do are quite often more beneficial to the Yankees than the Sox…
  14. Bradley is an excellent bunter but limits doing so to sacrifice situations. I can’t recall ever seeing him try to bunt his way on to first..
  15. 1. You talked about swinging the bat in your definition of BA. A batter does not need to swing to be credited with an at bat. 3. ISO (Isolated Power) is the stat you’re looking for. It’s SLG minus BA, and removes the dependency on singles from a hitters profile. Fangraphs has it on their tables. B-R (I believe) does not…
  16. 1. That’s not what batting average measures. It measures the percentage of time a batter gets a hit in a plate appearance in which he does not walk, get hit by a pitch, voluntarily give himself up by bunting to move a runner over, or hit a reasonably deep fly ball with a runner on third and less than two out. 2. 49 + .306 does not equal .355. It equals 49.306. 3. If you want XBH to be incorporated with BA, that’s exactly what SLG does…
  17. Possibly. But is his career high in IP all that different than Whitlock’s? And babying him would fit right in with a few other SP, including Whitlock and (for some odd reason) Hill. I do think he’s behind Seabold and Winckowski on the SP depth chart, but I don’t think he’s completely off the radar…
  18. It’s very possible that the Sox get back into the WC mix and we never see Sale and Paxton. Bello is already on the 40 man roster…
  19. Or OF. If he gets 8-10 years he might play multiple positions over that time frame…
  20. And to live in a world where Bogaerts’ offer is a factor in Devers’ decision…
  21. Nobody should give Bogaerts an 8-10 year deal. I’d be very surprised if he gets one. The one thing working for him is his carrying skill is hit bat, which is capable of moving to 1b or DH at some point. But even then, if he is asking for 8-10 years, the Sox are wise to let him test the market..,
  22. He might e in the August rotation this year…
  23. Would you give Bogaerts a Correa offer?
