We have had this discussion before . But to me , UZR is not science , it is just some anonymous guy watching the games and giving his opinion . Which , allegedly , is better than ours. I just don't put much stock in it .

Closing ain't easy.

If you draw the line at 4 mil , you will surely not sign JBJ.
-
All I can say is , I'd like to do that in roulette .
-
Maybe , but I do think it can get in the player's minds a bit. It is hard to be at your best when doubt creeps in .
-
That is incredible . Hard to explain or chalk up to crap shoot randomness.
-
Baseball is a funny game . Calvin gave up three straight two out singles . Any one of them could have been hit a little harder and been caught . His whole legacy would be different. Sometimes you can catch a break , sometimes you can't.
-
I hope that is true. Bloom should have the authority to choose his own manager .
-
I think the best way to make sure centerfield is taken care of is to re-sign JBJ . But I'm not sure he wants to come back. From what I can see , his defense has not regressed all that much. I do think people put too much faith in some of these advanced metrics.
-
Thanks. Scratch him.
-
Does anyone know the status of Kevin Cash in Tampa Bay ? He seems like a good one and Bloom is obviously familiar with him .
-
Roenicke's firing seemed inevitable . He was in a tough situation and , quite frankly , did not impress . I would say that Cora is the morning line favorite to get his old job back.
-
Okay . To me , the thing is ; on any tough play , the scorer has the discretion whether to charge an error. But on a double play attempt, it is automatic that you can't assume it will be made . End of story.
-
Off topic , but here is a question for the official scorers. Why can't you " assume the double play " ? The outs are made separately. Once the first out is recorded, you should be able to assume that , if correctly played , the second out should be made as well.
-
In an abbreviated, crazy season like this one , the stats are going to be skewed , both pro and con . They may or may not be an indication of anything.
-
Bauer is going to generate a lot of interest as a free agent. It is hard to picture the Sox as the high bidder for his services.

Red Sox have fired GM Dave Dombrowski
dgalehouse replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
That is is little disingenuous. In addition to what we have on the field today , D.D. also left Mookie , Price , Workman , Porcello , Moreland , a healthy E-Rod and a healthy Benintendi. -
The Yankees simply don't look like the heavy favorites they seemed to be a while back. They are having much trouble putting it all together.
-
To me , that is too many teams . Anyway, I think the Dodgers will be awfully tough to beat . The Yankees don't look like the powerhouse they seemed to be not too long ago . Personally, I am glad and surprised that the season made it this far. I will be pulling for the Cubbies.
-
If you can get a good one cheap , that is wonderful. That also applies to every other position in baseball . As well as many things in life . But , like closing , it's not easy to do.

I think a lot of folks are not aware of that. They still regard Castillo as a " young prospect."

Red Sox have fired GM Dave Dombrowski
dgalehouse replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It seems kind of redundant to have two positions with basically the same duties. Obviously , owners are not concerned with overhead costs. -

It's not just who he traded , but who he kept. He kept Devers , who has turned out to be better than any of those traded . ( Maybe the jury is still out on Moncada ) -
The Sox are a much , much , much better team than the Orioles . It is kind of crazy that we are battling them to escape the cellar . But the whole season has been crazy in general.
