    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    Regarding whether the Braves were trying to pull something over in us, when DD traded for Sale with the White Sox, he gave up a young, legitimate MLB starter prospect in Moncada (plus Michael Kopech, Luis Alexander Basabe and Victor Diaz because Sale was much better then than recently). The...

    The Newest Vaughn

    Thanks. I've only seen him a couple times, but he seems okay so far, Bellhornian, indeed! Hope he hits a couple key dingers against the Yankees.

    This is why I come here. Thank you RR!

    Anyone have a sense of how Grissom has played 2B? Not the D metrics (way too soon), eyeball test.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Well, I was trying to get TomRicardo to stop being so negative, but we'll both cheer for you to lose, meaning one of Crawford or Houck pitch well enough to get at least one Cy Young vote. And if they both get a vote, I'll also donate $50 to the Jimmy Fund. You'll probably have to remind me of...

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Sniff: a trace, hint, or small amount. Sounds as though we are working off different definitions. Bet offer retracted. Enjoy your day.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Bingo! We have the leader in the clubhouse for most negative take of the season! Grissom is a "trending down and non-top prospect"?!? Holy WEEI, Batman!

    Won't even sniff the Cy Young Award? I'll bet you $50 Jimmy Fund that they at least get one CYA vote between them, thus enjoying a "sniff".

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    Similar to Story's first season but without the benefit of career maturity. Let's give him a couple months and 250 ABs at least.

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    I think it's a very good trade and I hope Sale shines for the Braves. I want teams to believe trading with Breslow yields excellent results. But we got someone who probability stays as a Major League starter with an upside of occasional All Star, good hit, okay glove, who plays 120+ games a...

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    Very cool. He was a catcher himself, no?

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Thank you, nvalvo, for that excellent explanation. Because of the vagaries of ERA for relief pitchers, I've always kept and eye on WHIP as a better indicator of their performance. Sounds like FIP does that quite well, and I especially like the future value of it. Thanks again.

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    That play should be shown during GG voting! Are there even 5 MLB catchers with the speed to make that play?

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Nicely done. Although I know FIP = Fielding Independent Pitching, I don't know the details. Is it typically greater than a pitcher's ERA, as shown in your table?

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I know we've all seen it multiple times, but any mention of the BrockStar prompts me to resurrect this scrappy play: View: https://youtu.be/UhuQo_tFwjc?si=XRFwJ9KTlhjt0Paj

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

    I love the start to the season, but it's a little sobering to realize the Sox are 11-13 in games in which they don't toss a shutout. C'mon bats! Here's hoping everyone gets as hot as Abreau.

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

    True, but I sure wish he would shorten his stroke a little. He's quite the free swinger.

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

    I think the defense will get better with C-Note at SS and Grissom at 2B, the hitting will improve a little (Grissom is a ++, more players likely to improve than degrade), the relief pitching will improve a little, and a successful season will be weighing on how much or little the starting...

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

    And when Romy's back (soon), he can replace Hamilton or Dalbec.
