    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    It looks like they use a different base running stat, but similar overall. Separate batting and base running stats, but offensive WAR value includes both.

    Stolen/caught stealing doesn't factor into OPS, or wOBA or wRC. That is why separate base running stats exist, like wSB and UBR. But offensive WAR should include both. At least this is the fangraphs way, I don't know if baseball reference calculates anything differently.

    Sox to trade for Garrett Cooper, Pablo Reyes DFA’d

    T-ball stats convert poorly to the MLB level. But he dominated.

    Sox to trade for Garrett Cooper, Pablo Reyes DFA’d

    How often do you pinch run for a guy in the regular season? Not nearly enough to keep a guy around just for that.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Yeah, this is why you keep no longer prospects who have options. He's a break glass in case of emergency guy, and we had an emergency.

    Petriello: Did Ted's 'red seat' HR really go 502 feet? No, It went farther!

    Based on the wind data, I now am very skeptical, but think it is somewhat plausible. Maybe.

    If we change it to a Cure reference, will you go back to crying?

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    It seemed like you had talked yourself out of the idea by the end of your second or third sentence anyway. ;)

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    So you'd bench either O'neill or Abreu who are both better fielders and currently hitting better than Yoshida? Refsnyder playing first is fine, but doesn't have to impact Yoshida. Yoshida is on the roster and will stay there because while he's not a great hitter, he is miles better as a hitter...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    No, but there are several reasons why Cooper could not end up on the Sox, and it wouldn't be able to be boiled down to a fake narrative of the Sox being cheap. Which is what "it's just money" suggests.

    It's not money. It's working out a trade or hoping he falls to you if you put in a claim. So yeah, you have to pay him, but first you have to get him in a process that does not involve money.

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    This has his college stats. He wasn't exactly lights out. He put up a good ERA his senior year, but still walked a lot of people. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=kirwin000dan

    There definitely is. A world where Abreu continues hitting and you have him, Refsnyder, O'neill, and Duran as your outfielder is pretty nice. Yoshida has been coming on the last few weeks after a rough start, and an infield with Devers, Grissom, and Casas eventually returning could be pretty...

    I can. And it is a bleak, bleak world. Let's think of happier things.

    Cam Booser called up and added to 40 man. Joe Jacques optioned

    I was thinking more of that pitcher from Woody Allen's Radio Day's who kept losing body parts and then went blind.
