    You literally said “the jays just signed a real #2 starting pitcher”
  2. Hugh2
    I think that is more realistic, I was going to say something similar. If they spend big on Bregman or Bichette they’re probably going cheaper with Okamoto instead of Alonso at first. that is still going to put them somewhere around the second LT line give or take.
  3. Hugh2
    I’ve generally been in favor of moving guys around and exposing them to other roles and developing versatility. but I think you’re right, that’s just not for everyone. Some guys need more continuity, I’m rooting for the kid, but I kind of wish the Sox realized that about him before dishing out the money
  4. Hugh2
    However, I still think the Sox could do that and be below the third threshold, where the penalties are the harshest. AND we have to remember the Red Sox have said time and time again they would spend when they thought the time was right. you have to consider that their actual CASH payroll is about $40 -$50 million less than the LT payroll. so while that hypothetical might be excessive i think people should accept that the team could spend more in LT dollars than they have in years. if you don’t believe that, then sitting at $220-$223 you have to pretty much believe this team is done adding.

    They’re at 220, but going off of Moons hypothetical. Subtracting Harris/Hicks/Duran and adding Marte/Lodolo increases payroll by 3.4 million Bregman/Brochette/Alonso projected contracts all apps $30 AAV so that’s adding -+ $63 million and that increases payroll to……oh yeah about 280 I guess you guys are right.

    I’m not in the slightest was suggesting Yoshida is a DFA candidate but that’s. 1.143 OPS in 7 plate appearances 7….with 0 XBH
  7. Hugh2
    These facts don’t happen to be….undisputed by any chance do they???
  8. Hugh2
    For someone who has been dying on the hill of the stats are what they are, he seems weirdly in favor of a guy who had worse stats last year.….…. …… …… and cost $210 million instead of $20
  9. Hugh2
    Not saying that this is realistic, but I think you might be overshooting it by 20 million. they would certainly be below the 3rd threshold where they start to lose draft picks. One I don’t think Henry’s too ever go over. But he’s gone over the second threshold before

    I’m truly thankful, to have such horrible takes to laugh my arse off. good luck making sense of Duran not in CF at Fenway next year.
  11. Hugh2
    I mean, isn’t 18 or predicting he will hit less than he has recently (besides one half injury season) kind of a maybe issue in of itself?
  12. Hugh2
    Nothing, absolutely nothing is basic.
  13. Hugh2
    As in…..almost a #1?
  14. Hugh2
    Gray is an upgrade over Gio in pretty much every sense. Unless Gray completely falls off a cliff he’s likely better than Gio. Gray doesn’t rely on velocity to get guys out, he has the profile that ages. I still don’t like it at 37, and he can still fall off a cliff but it’s guys with his profile that last a little longer
  15. Hugh2
    I don’t know what they will do. I’m not going to complain about one move that does in fact make us better when I have zero ideal how the rest of the season will play out.
  16. Hugh2
    Gary is an upgrade over Gio too. And if he’s “replacing Gio” then that means they’re adding another pitcher
  17. Hugh2
    I could say that about his FWAR. His xFIP his k/9 his bb/9. All suggest a big upgrade. the numbers are the numbers
  18. Hugh2
    So, it’s not just about spending the money, it’s about making the really good signing first? that’s like my children yelling at me because I didn’t give them the nice present to open up first on Christmas morning. we are not even a month removed from the World Series. Relax and see what they do
  19. Hugh2
    St Louis is in a full rebuild, why keep a $35 million dollar man on the roster for one year? Trading him made sense. The cap hit would be $40 million, they had to kick in half the money to move him and get something.
  20. Hugh2
    Everyone isn’t me, you read any scouting report or analysis from anyone talking about pitchers and they always use their Bwar. it’s not my opinion its a lot of people’s opinions
  21. Hugh2
    This is precisely how I looked at it. I didn’t love it at first, but the more I dug, the more I liked.
  22. Hugh2
    Power peaks in late 20’s. Maybe he adds a lot more? Maybe it’s 25-30
  23. Hugh2
    I don’t love the Gray trade, but he definitely makes the rotation better next year. its also super early in the offseason. Like really early. Why can’t we ever wait to see how an offseason transpires before getting all upset???
  24. Hugh2
    Who do we even know is definitively on the trade market who was better than Gray last year???? Ryan maybe. That’s it
  25. Hugh2
    No one uses Bwar for pitchers.
