I’ve touted this banner a few times. It is easy for me, since I bear no responsibility if he flops. If Bloom just isn’t looking, not good. If he passed on Bradley due to medical issues or injury history, that at least makes sense to me. I get that Sale’s replacement is probably Houck or Whitlock. But at some point that does mean you need to backfill Houck or Whitlock…
-
Yeah yeah yeah. And there was a time when no one cared about Ol’ Hoss Radbourne’s ERA, either…
-
As opposed to the number of NFL fans who watch every week because they love QBR?
-
They were at one point. Not like Abner Doubleday drew up the original diamond and then devised formulas for ERA and batting average later that afternoon
-
The gang at Clancy’s doesn’t know of or care about analytics. The NBA is actually more analytical than MLB. Has it hurt the game? The NFL has always used them, too. They’re just most well-known in baseball because it’s always been more stats-driven even among casual fans…
-
Trending in the wrong direction? Or trending in the wrong direction relative to the NBA and the NFL? MLB was a record-setting $10billion industry in 2019. That does indicate it has some popularity…
-
Bigger factors have the massive changes in NBA television deals and the rise of fantasy football…

From the free agent pile, the Sox could sign Archie Bradley, and he could fill the bullpen slot that will eventually be vacated by Whitlock or Houck. Also there has been literally no buzz on Michael Conforto. He’s better than the vastly overrated Nick Castellanos. Greater he hits lefty, but the Sox can stop pretending they don’t have any right handed bats. Also extend Bogaerts. This was the off-season to replace him. It didn’t happen and probably wrong with The last two options. So just sign him…
-
He’s off to LA. They can’t grab him anymore…
-
What about Conforto? Hits as well as Castellanos but is a much, much better outfielder…
-
OPS+ over last 3 seasons Castellanos - 124 Conforto - 123 Soler - 117
-
Fill the bullpen. Archie Bradley and Oliver Drake would be nice adds…
-
Maybe?
-
He really needs to add another OF or a 2b…
-
And that’s why your personal rankings would differ…
-
He did request a full NTC, and received it…
-
Plus he’s from Nevada, so he’s reasonably close (by MLB standards)…
-
I’d rather leave both in the pen but I think we’re one injury away from both in the rotation…
-
I’d rather extend Bogaerts than sign Bryant or Freeman
-
Oh so now you listen to interests and rumors?
-
Right, because it negates pitch counts. Notice I called it an “added benefit,” meaning not the primary reason…
-
The “third time through the order” business has the added benefit of reducing injuries. This is especially important for younger pitchers like Houck where the ability to pitch 150 to 180 IP against MLB hitters is in question…
-
Maybe
-
Most publications actually rate Duran pretty high. It’s the fans who say “he didn’t set the world on fire in 107 plate appearances!!” who are down on him…
-
Maybe everything went right in 2018? Not like the preseason expectations for that team were all that lofty…
