    JD's $22M will be gone too.
  2. Nick
    He has absolutely no plate discipline.
  3. Nick
    He's the guy we should go after....
  4. Nick
    Nothing better than Winckowski? Sad....

    Big issue for Bloom is how many of these young guys will develop into above average major league ball player. We've see some hope but not sure where they'll rank ultimately. DFA'd or traded or become a starter. Bello Winckowski Cutter Dalbec Duran Just to name a few. I suppose you can put both Houck and Whitlock in the winning column for now. Recent struggles for Nick Pivetta has put him on not sure category for me. No doubt, we got Nick on the cheap. He's had outstanding games. But ultimately, is he a keeper? I'm still on the fence on Verdugo. He's cheap for sure, but is he improving as much as we'd like? Question for me is can I envision a player on a world series championship team? Whitlock is yes for sure, others? Most are TBD.

    Bloom will get one more year.....if the team is unsettled year from today, he'll be gone. There has to be marked improvement at the major league level. Quit trying to build a team looking for diamond in the rough at every position.
  7. Nick
    So they are saying Sale is making $54M per year next two years.

    I've been too optimistic and you've been the grown up here. We have collection of mediocre talent. We think one of worst defensive shortstop with less than 10HR deserves a $30M contract just based on sentimentality. From 30,000 ft above, I don't really care if he leaves. He's peaked out. His best days are behind him. Use the money wisely, Mr. Bloom. Acquire starting pitchers to start........

    But they are all NOT going to go 2-12. They can lose 3 to us but win 3 against another team. It's hard to jump over 4 teams. Period. Not happening.

    We need high ceiling guys, not bunch of Brasiers. ERA's for relievers is the worst stat. Bases loaded two outs, a double clears the bases but all runs are charged to previous pitcher. Real test is Brasier can not hold a runner on second in extra inning games. That runner is going to score. The formula I would love to see is to bring up all the potential starters, Mata as an example and start them in the bullpen. That will limit their pitch count and maybe in year three they can be groomed as a starter. I too don't want to see bunch of guys from the beer league.

    Not sure why but I'm in a bad mood. HR-RBI PA 11-36 300 11-54 449 10-49 426 08-29 228 One guy makes $22M, another $20M, other two earn minimum wage in MLB. Do they really have a bargaining chip to play?
  12. Nick
    Me and Story. I'm ready to go. I guess he needs another day off. Do the players request for 'scheduled' day off? Do the players get the schedule on Sunday nights for next week so they can go play golf?
  13. Nick
    Pivetta's ERA is now up to 4.40. It just feels like our talent is mediocre. Hill is hit and miss. You never know what you're going to get. He can be inning eater. Cheap option as a #5 starter. Wacha probably is our top pitcher when healthy. He's a free agent. Eovaldi is back to breaking down. Who knows what bone Chris will break next. We don't have a season without legit starting pitchers in 2023. We need a bona fide top of the rotation guy.
  14. Nick
    Well, my back hurts every time he swings.
  15. Nick
    Will Devers be at risk for injuries as he gets older with his violent swing approach at the plate?
  16. Nick
    Any concern that Casas at 6-25, 250 does not hit for power? And he plays 1B. They keep talking that it will come. When?
  17. Nick
    Bloom missed on Jake Dieckman (I'm sure he was hoping for better control) but he erased it by trading him away without having to pay his contract for 2023.
  18. Nick
    Boston Red Sox’s Frank German has 98-99 mph fastball ‘with really good life’ and 2.30 ERA at Worcester We paid Ottavino's entire salary to get this guy. Looks like he'll be in the pen for the Sox in 2023.
  19. Nick
    Baseball is still about pitching and we don't have it, injuries, whatever. 4th in AL runs scored, 546, despite low home run total. 2nd most runs allowed, 582 runs. Never count on Sale as people said. They were right. He's become Elijah Freakin' Price.
  20. Nick
    Xander .807 OPS, third among SS, there are 45 major leaguers with OPS of .800 or higher 9 HR 13th among SS in HR 49 RBI 10th among SS in RBI Xander should be leading off, not hitting 3rd or 4th. How much is he worth? Is it more than $20M? yes Is he worth $30M? I would say to Bloom, NO On what planet do we pay $30M for 9 HR and 49 RBI with at best average defense? Just move Story over to SS until our #1 prospect comes up in 3 or 4 years. Use the $30M you want to spend elsewhere.
  21. Nick
    He's becoming another Matt Barnes to me.
  22. Nick
    Why Boston Red Sox might promote Triston Casas soon, perhaps as early as Tuesday; ‘He’s a phenomenal first baseman’ Why the hell not?
  23. Nick
    I think you would be a fool to give Xander $27M x 6. We loved David Ortiz because of his production and his pay. Not sure if Xander is in David Ortiz territory.
  24. Nick
    Only stat that will matter at the end Losses 43 Astros (W) 45 Yankees (E) 55 Guardians © ------------------- 54 Seattle (W) 54 Rays (E) 54 Blue Jays (E) ------------------- 55 Twins © 56 Orioles (E) 57 White Sox © 59 SOX (E) We just need to keep winning.
