The Red Sox have posted a fellowship opening in the front office: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/job-posting-boston-red-sox-david-ortiz-fellowship/

That's why I posted it ... to provide more detail. Here is a link to Alex Speier's analysis on J.D. Martinez: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2017/12/14/risk-worth-reward-with-martinez/5EheQkpAY26ExNa8xAstaK/story.html?et_rid=1739401789&s_campaign=108stitches:newsletter

Likewise, cheers and Happy Holidays, Emp.

When someone offers an opinion on a proposed signing or trade, that person at least implicitly is making a projection on player performance. By using projected WAR I am being transparent on what I base my projection. Many posters are not that transparent.

It was a day trip when my older daughter was studying abroad in Chile. I joke that I limit my alcohol consumption to the Southern Hemisphere. My younger daughter hopes to study abroad this summer in South Africa and Zambia (but I doubt I can afford another trip).

BTW, a longtime friend and co-worker of mine shared these spectacular videos of the chapels of Notre Dame: http://chapelsof.nd.edu/?utm_campaign=NDAA+Advent+Program+2017+-+Launch&utm_medium=email&utm_source=EOACLK My agnostic friend's son is a freshman at the University of Notre Dame.

Look at the party I ignited on another thread: http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18499-Martinez-vs-Hosmer-vs-Santana/page19 :D:D:D

LOL I'd go out to socialize but I'm afraid I would decline the offer of a doobie and a beer. I don't drink (with the brief exception of two glasses of wine last holiday season on a bicycle tour of vineyards in Chile). I refuse to smoke anything since kicking a two-pack-a-day cigarette habit 28 years ago. However, living in a state that has legalized recreational marijuana, I've become edible curious. Nevertheless, I have resisted the temptation to patronize my neighborhood cannabis dispensary.

911 calls are recorded (even though some calls are cut short). I suspect law enforcement responded to something, whether it was a 911 call, a neighbor complaining about noise, suspicious activity while on patrol, or another circumstance. I hope the investigation arrives at the truth.

Baseball columnist Jon Heyman reports that J.D. Martinez is on his way to Orlando to meet with representatives of the Red Sox and other teams: https://www.fanragsports.com/heyman-jd-martinez-to-meet-with-red-sox-and-others/

The difference in value between the No. 1 and No. 10 free agents in any year's class is not as great as many fans believe. The winners in the sweepstakes for the top free agent are often the clubs that finish second, third and below because the team that lands that player typically overpays. With advanced metrics many teams can nearly agree on a free agent's value. The top free agent signs with the team that is willing to overpay.
-
Reminds me of the Red Sox pursuit of David Price, who two years ago was the precise age J.D. Martinez is today. Hanley Ramirez was a few months older when the Red Sox signed him in November 2014.

Then perhaps you should refrain from spreading misinformation. I looked and found nothing.

Do you have a link to the police suggesting that "the police have started that there was no physical violence"? The Tennessee assault law apparently does not require physical violence: https://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2010/title-39/chapter-13/part-1/39-13-101

At least that's Steven Wright's version, according to his attorney. Has anyone seen a police report on the incident? I trust the system will strive to uncover the truth.

The Cleveland offer to Carlos Santana reportedly came before free agency but the Guardians are expected to go higher:

FanGraphs columnist Dave Cameron writes about the Giancarlo Stanton trade: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-the-marlins-did-and-didnt-mess-up/
-
My point is that from media accounts the public cannot be certain that Steven Wright did or did not hit his wife. Police reportedly had probable cause to arrest Wright for domestic assault, which in many jurisdictions requires physical contact. The accused occasionally denies the allegations, sometimes with good reason and sometimes without good reason. The system should sort out the facts ... or not.

To be precise, Steamer projects Kyle Schwarber with 1.6 WAR while FanGraphs Depth Charts project Schwarber with 2.0 WAR. Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Charts project Eduardo Rodriguez with 0.7 WAR in 11 starts. I suspect the Cubs would pass. Easily.
-
At this point, how can the public be certain that Steven Wright did not hit anyone?

Boston Herald columnist Michael Silverman suggests the Red Sox sign J.D. Martinez and Eric Hosmer: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2017/12/silverman_red_sox_need_to_sign_both_eric_hosmer_jd_martinez

The Cubs would likely balk at that trade because of injury concerns surrounding Eduardo Rodriguez. Otherwise, Kyle Schwarber and Rodriguez, who were born a month apart, each remain under team control for four seasons. Steamer projects Rodriguez with a 2018 WAR of 0.7 in 11 starts and Schwarber with a 2018 WAR of 1.6 in 446 plate appearances. FanGraphs Depth Charts has Rodriguez at 0.7 WAR in 11 starts and Schwarber at 2.0 WAR in 455 plate appearances. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13164&position=P http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=16478&position=OF

One blogger writes that Danny Valencia would be a "better fit" for the Red Sox than Eric Hosmer: https://www.offthebenchbaseball.com/2017/12/06/danny-valencia-better-fit-red-sox-eric-hosmer/
