  1. On a positive note: so far the Red Sox have outperformed their Pythagorean record by two wins: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2022.shtml
  2. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lopezpe01.shtml More likely 26-year-old righthander Pablo Lopez, whom the Seattle Mariners traded to the Marlins with three others in 2017 for reliever David Phelps. Yikes.
  3. The Seattle Mariners needed the Red Sox to take one or two of three games from the Blue Jays. ;-(
  4. At the trade deadline, the Cubs, Phillies and Mariners reportedly discussed a three-way trade that would have sent Marco Gonzales to the Phillies, Ian Happ to the Mariners and prospects to the Cubs.
  5. Some folks have a long history of pulling for the underdog ... in sports and outside sports.
  6. That's a description of 25-year-old switch-hitting Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh, who is the same age Jason Varitek was when the Mariners traded the switch-hitting catcher to the Red Sox.
  7. Top 2022 Complex League prospects each organization WWW.MLB.COM The lowest levels of the Minor Leagues began play this week, with the Rookie-level Arizona Complex, Florida Complex and Dominican Summer leagues all kicking off Monday.

  8. My personal rules should not be imposed on other posters but ... 1. Emphasize ideas by avoiding use of "I" and "you" in a post. 2. Make an exception to pay another poster a compliment. 3. Avoid sarcasm 4. Be kind.
  9. FWIW this year Trea Turner has twice as many home runs as Xander Bogaerts. ZiPS projects Turner with 5.5 WAR with 28 home runs in 2023 and 5.1 WAR with 28 home runs in 2024 while projecting Bogaerts with 4.5 WAR with 26 home runs in 2023 and 4.4 WAR with 26 home runs in 2024: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/trea-turner/16252/stats?position=SS#zips-3-year-projections https://www.fangraphs.com/players/xander-bogaerts/12161/stats?position=SS#zips-3-year-projections
  10. Thank you for the book recommendation.
  11. FWIW at the trade deadline the Seattle Mariners prioritized catcher defense with a trade for veteran Curt Casali (who as a Cincinnati backup had caught 27 starts of newly acquired Seattle righthander Luis Castillo). When Casali came off the IL Thursday, the Mariners designated for assignment reserve catcher Luis Torrens, who two days earlier had delivered the game-winning hit in a 13-inning 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees: Torrens was out of options. Seattle's starting catcher, 25-year-old Cal Raleigh, is highly ranked defensively while carrying a wRC+ of 109: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=20&type=1&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31
  12. Let's not forget that righthander Hansel Robles made 57 relief appearances for the 2015 New York Mets: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robleha01.shtml
  13. Veteran reliever Jeurys Familia to the rescue:
  14. The Red Sox postseason odds are 16.9 percent at FanGraphs, 14 percent at FiveThirtyEight and 3.2 percent at Baseball Prospectus. It's an uphill climb. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-mlb-predictions/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2022.shtml
  15. Harmon Killebrew had a career OPS+ of 143 and 573 home runs in 2,435 games while David Ortiz had a career OPS+ of 141 and 541 home runs in 2,408 games. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/killeha01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/ortizda01.shtml Killebrew and Ortiz played in different eras.
  16. The same day this poster witnessed Aaron Judge homer in another Yankee loss. Exciting game.
  17. Despite production and projections, Baseball Trade Values still gives Jarred Duran ($13.5 million) far more surplus trade value than Seattle outfielder Taylor Trammell ($4.1 million) in a comp of lefthanded 6-foot-2, 212-pound center fielders who may be better suited for a corner. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jarren-duran/24617/stats?position=OF https://www.fangraphs.com/players/taylor-trammell/19960/stats?position=OF This year Duran, who is a year older than Trammell, may pass Trammell in MLB service time.
  18. Rafael Devers will likely continue to bat from the left side.
  19. Last year as a 22-year-old MJ Melendez led all minor leaguers with 41 home runs between Double A and Triple A: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=melend000mj- Melendez has a bright future.
  20. Is this it?
  21. Which Valdéz? Philips Valdez is now in the Seattle Mariner organization.
  22. Chaim Bloom was a solid hire who was given the benefit of the doubt until this trade deadline rolled around. The trade deadline may have been the tipping point that imperils Bloom's Red Sox tenure. Or not.
  23. The prospects who came in the Jackie Bradley Jr. trade were Alex Binelas, a 22-year-old corner infielder who this year has posted a wRC+ of 66 at Double A and 125 at High A, and David Hamilton, a 24-year-old infielder who this year has posted a wRC+ of 89 at Double A: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/alexander-binelas/sa3017044/stats?position=1B/3B https://www.fangraphs.com/players/david-hamilton/sa3014434/stats?position=2B/SS
