    Its possible that every team in the playoffs besides us has their top 3 pitchers on the IL. Dodgers did last year, Yankees do already this year. If Crochet is still standing (knock on wood) , I honestly believe that Crochet + nobody else may be the best pitching staff in the playoffs. One way to get better is to have all the competition get hurt.

    It will depend a lot on the days-off schedule. But playoffs are less about pitching depth, its about your best pitcher. Crochet will start 3/7 games and come out of the pen in a fourth.

    I use to not know where anybody went to college. Now-a-days dudes are graduating from universities already well-knowns
  4. drewski6
    That list is growing though. College baseball is better than its ever been. Because you make more in college these days then in the minor legues. Dudes are going to and staying in college longer. Still impressive but pre-NIL history doesnt matter in this case anymore cuz so much has changed with NIL.

    How dare you
  6. drewski6
    Didnt you literally just propose trading for Spencer Steer
  7. drewski6
    From Devers? Yes. From Eddie Guerrero? No (I wore a "Latino Heat" shirt to Raw in Providence on Monday)

    The sox may be contenders in 25 on the back of Crochet.

    I like this Gio talk, I think myself (dont want to speak for others but dont think Im alone) werent interested enough in Pivetta. Something about hes been here and we've seen his ups/downs and the fact that the team didnt go particularly far when he was here, so we wanted an infusion of new talent. ANd those sentiments are natural, but I think it caused me personally to underrate his value. The past is the past. Gios lost year is behind us, like Pivettas pre-breakout mediocrity (forgive me for using the term breakout, which might not be 100% deserved, but I do feel like pivetta went from mediocre (average #4) to solid (good #3) at some point within last 2-3 years.

    Very small percentage chance , he takes it. What he might do is a sign a fresh 19m/yr contract with incentives w a player only option the following year. Mutual options are pointless (w rare exception)

    advising his client to do what is in his clients best interest is not nonsense.

    I do appreciate your mentality. I dont jump for joy when a player gets trapped into such a team friendly deal that hes just trapped for life (get scottie pippen'd). But I guess I do lvoe me a contract that works for both sides (even if its slightly more favorable to the team than the player, but key word is slightly) Hey look Kimmi, looks like you dont exclusively root for "the laundry" (which you shouldnt and you dont).
  13. drewski6
    Agreed, but mutual options are so rarely executed. Hes not coming back next year on 1 yrs at 19. Well he might but it wont be because the mutual option was triggered, it will be fresh contract.

    Thats bad agent letting that happen. Id go scorched earth.
  15. drewski6
    Ill take it though. It was well south of 33.6 10 games ago.

    I almost fought that dude once (lead singer of the flavor of the week song, American Hi-Fi I think the band was called) Her boyfriend He dont know Anything, about her
  17. drewski6
    Hes just the flavor of the weeeeeeek

    Like when you didnt like the meal you paid for at the restaurant and took most of it home and now its the next night and you really want to scrap it but you cant bring yourself to be that wasteful so you joylessly force it down?
  19. drewski6
    I might even forgive him soon for shaving the mustache (Im not there yet)

    Ellsbury vs JBJ is a one-sided, never-a-doubt beatdown. Completely lopsided. The obvious clear winner is......Cocoa Crisp
  21. drewski6
    Well, Eaton does lead to poopin

    Lets say we traded Yoshida for Soto today. Just hypothetically. You guys would rush to trade an OF so Soto can play the field? Why? It doesnt seem worth it to me.
  23. drewski6
    Soto was paid 700m for his bat. Now if you want him to play OF, the advantage in that is it allows you to also play a DH. So sure, some value in that. But its not very much. Soto gets 700M. Lets move him into the OF. The value in that is the savings from the cost differential in a hitter who can play the field and one who cannot. So lets say you can sign JDM for 8M but he would cost 12M if he could play a passable OF. The value from forcing Soto to play OF is 4M. Because now you can save 4m by getting JDM because hes 4 mil cheaper because he can only DH. Its not even worth the increased injury risk. Especially in Devers case (body type).
  24. drewski6
    That just doesnt make sense to me. Lets make moves that make us worse defensively. Or maybe not, but lets make moves to clear an OF vacancy for Soto for the sole reason that we cant sleep at night knowing that BTV says we massively overpaid for Soto because we made him a DH. So we NEED to trade someone so we can put an OF next to Sotos name, and get worse defensively in the process. All this just so a lousy defensive player can play a lousy OF Or just keep your solid defensive of intact and put Soto at DH. Bad defensive players who can hit really well, dont go from overpaid at 280m to good value at 700m just because you forced them to take the field. Id rather have my best bat DH, assuming they have a prototypical HR hitters body-type. Less chance for injury and most of them with that body type are bad defensive players anyways.

    I guess my main point is - are the sox better without devers? were we wise to trade him? who was at fault for the relationship deteriorating? how will they spend the money going forward? All of these are very good questions - and lets park them off to the side because my point boils down to: I disagree with how much value most subtract (include BTV, fangraphs, Moonslav, maybe you as well but Ill let you speak for yourself) - but I disagree with how much value sources tend to subtract from DHs for being a DH If we signed Soto to that 700M+ contract we all wanted to sign him to, he would be our DH right now. Because we have 3 better defensive outfielders.
