    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    I think if anything we learned over the past few months is that it’s easier to project talent over innings. Now I still might rather have Montgomery for the QQ aspect and not giving up a pick. But I just disagree with the innings premise

    Offseason rumors

    And now he is trying to get paid like that which is the problem. We will see what his contract comes in at. But personally I think Sox are better off seeing what they have in Houck and Crawford. This is assuming he gets more than say 5/115

    Offseason rumors

    Ya a lot can change in a year and the FA crop can be evaluated then. But one thing that won’t change is Montgomery being an inning eater 3 and without an ace ceiling. Something that I don’t think this staff needs this year at his projected cost.

    Offseason rumors

    As of now that does not seem true at all. Wheeler, Burnes and Fried are all legit #1s. If Montgomery is your game 1 starter you are not looking great. I am not even sure I would want 5 playoff innings of Montgomery over Pivetta. I am also very pro signing Pivetta to some 3/45ish extension right...

    Offseason rumors

    I do think that yes. Maybe at end of year he won’t be. But tomorrow he is. edit: I did almost say he has to be better hitter than Yoshida. But still I think that only fits Soler of what’s available

    Offseason rumors

    If Red Sox are signing anyone to get the majority of their bats at DH they better be the 2nd best hitter on the team. Only guy who fits that is Soler. I’m still holding out hope they bring him on for 1-2 years

    Moves I'd Make

    I am 100% out on signing Montgomery to whatever deal he is going to get. I am not convinced he is even going to be better than Pivetta this year. The Red Sox need an ace and at this point I would wait until next year to sign one. I would use the money this year to extend Pivetta, Casas and...

    Offseason rumors

    Or it could just be Lugo does not profile as a better starter than Houck or Crawford or Pivetta. Which seems pretty reasonable

    2023 Starting Rotation

    I was there for his no hitter September 1st IIRC because it was moving day for everyone in Boston. Took 3 friends and one left early. Then a few weeks later I saw Carlos Zambrano throw a no hitter for the Cubs at a home game in Milwaukee. Was two pretty insane experiences edit: broken brain. It...

    ALCS 2018 - Houston Astros

    I personally don't want the Sox to ride their 5th best SP for 2 starts just because he had a very good start against a team he was beating 10-0 after only pitching 3 innings. I concede I am fine with Eovaldi pitching over Erod just because of the lineup construction of the Astros. But Erod is...

    ALCS 2018 - Houston Astros

    So based on this logic the Sox should prolly move Betts down in the order and have Holt In the top 3. Maybe put Vazquez in the 5 or 6 hole also

    Red Sox Post Season roster-ALDS- 2018 edition

    Ok I did not articulate that well. Point is the noise in platoon splits is insane. Ichiro is a very good counter point. It is possible he had small lifetime reverse splits. The split for him also got more pronounced towards the end of his career. Elite hitters can certainly have very close to...

    Red Sox Post Season roster-ALDS- 2018 edition

    It’s almost like there is no such thing as a reverse splits hitter. It infuriates me that people ever think that’s not true

    The Starting Rotation's Start

    So I assume if Sale struggles in the playoffs again this year you will be out there booing and arguing for the Sox not to back up the brinks truck for him? I also assume you think Bumgarner has always been better than Kershaw. Price gets legit hate because Chris Sale came in and dominated his...
