    With Suarez it's probably below average at every position, well below. Except maybe 1B???
  2. Hugh2
    Elite? he had a .824 OPS last year, which is good but not great. .228/.298 AVG/OBP. He literally hits some bombs here and there and nothing else.
  3. Hugh2
    Ok, but that's not happening. I don't think Contreras plays more than 5-6 games at catcher. He's emergency C. You still need a 3b/2b. And I disagree on there being room for 1B/DH type. Between the two we have Yoshida/Contreras/(one of the 4 outfielders)/ Casas. That's 4 guys.
  4. Hugh2
    One trend I've been noticing is the Sox almost NEVER sign the guy that there is reported interest on, and they usually make a signing or a trade for a guy with seemingly little to no smoke. The most smoke I saw around an acquisition this year was Wilson Contreras. Kind of gives you hope that they're not done and a move is in the works to fix the infield.
  5. Hugh2
    Given that the Sox have invested so heavily into pitchers, particularly pitchers who induce ground balls at an average to above average rate. Suarez 52% Oviedo 44% Gray 49.7% The Sox will get more bang for their buck if they invest in a 3B who isn't in the 8th percentile for range at 3B. If Contreras wasn't already signed and they wanted him for a DH/1B role I can see the bat playing, but I'm not sold on him anymore. Bo or a trade will round out the roster nicely.
  6. Hugh2
    I'd still rather take a chance with him playing better at 3B/2B than I would with Arenado who is in serious decline.
  7. Hugh2
    Abrams sub par defense is seemingly his poor range, his arm is about as strong as Bregman/Mayers/Storys is and he has decent hands. I think he would be fine at 3B. I know people don't like to assume but I don't know why people are so reluctant to acknowledge that SS often see their defense take a few ticks up when they move off of the demanding SS position.

    Yeah last year was insane. Lets looks at the last two years. Yamamoto 325/12 Shohei Ohtani 700/10 Will Smith 10/140 Blake Snell 5/137 Tanner Scott 72/4 Tanner Scott 66/3 Honorable mentions: Tommy Edman and Blake Treinen Roki Sasaki That's insane

    Prepared to be a hermit, AI is booming and will soon be impossible to not be in our everyday lives. I'm still stuck on stopping all these damn spam calls.
  10. Hugh2
    Why is everyone so upset? the Sox are coming in second place for literally every good free agent? How many teams can say that?
  11. Hugh2
    That the Sox wouldn't give him one.
  12. Hugh2
    he might do better than 30 AAV too.
  13. Hugh2
    Seems silly to me, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because it does, and perhaps my perception is wrong here but I feel like the vast majority of the time players do not waive their no trade clause.
  14. Hugh2
    That would be a wise bet
  15. Hugh2
    I thought my earlier off season projection of Bo for 240/8 might have been a little too high, now I'm thinking it might even be a little too light. I don't think he's getting anything out of the 200's but he's going to push high into the 200 million mark. If Bregman can get 175, Bo will command more.
  16. Hugh2
    If that was the hang up....IF it was the hang up, that's a little strange to me. It feels more often than not guys are willing to waive their no trade clause.
  17. Hugh2
    In a vacuum, I can't blame the Sox for not wanting to pay that amount for Bregman. In a vaccum I see merit in setting a value on guys and not getting desperate to overpay for them. But in the aggregate, looking back year over year and missing out on pretty much every higher mid tier to high tier free agent that fits there needs is unforgivable. Maybe Bregman isn't the guy, but at some point you have to move out of your comfort zone a little. Having Bregman for one year was fine, but giving up a high draft pick for a guy is not good business and now they're pretty much in a position of Bo or bust. I get they can still trade for a guy, but you can't build your entire team trading for guys, at some point you're going to run out of ammunition.
  18. Hugh2
    For that contract they can have him. but I don’t buy the pivot to BO. Who is certain to get much more than that
  19. Hugh2
    And how many of those guys have higher upside AND options? I get your concern, but I’m assuming he’s starting the year in AAA. if he hits it works itself out, if he doesn’t you’re in the same position you’re in now.
  20. Hugh2
    I don’t disagree with that at all, but we’d still be selling him at a low, I wouldn’t expect much in return. I think the chance he gets right with Boston has much more value.
  21. Hugh2
    I’m not sure why your trade Casas. If he recovers his value is very high, and right now it’s close to nothing. he won’t hurt you playing in AAA. If he fights his way back he can become your DH or net more trade value. Very little to lose, and an effton to gain by giving him 6-8 weeks in woo
  22. Hugh2
    Or maybe dud to Dude, adding a vowel seems more efficient
  23. Hugh2
    A dud? despite that he still has a career OPS of .800, I thought last year was a slow start, then he got injured and never got a chance to get going. maybe he’ll never be good again, and maybe he’ll never get here but he’s one healthy season from going from Dud to Stud.
  24. Hugh2
    Did anyone actually like the Yoshida signing? besides Bloom that is
