True, and Davis had an even better OBP in the minors (.374). It's been .291 since 2016, which does not help much. (28 HRs per 650 since 2016)....

We could be in for a very wild rollercoaster of a ride for this season with Dalbec. Dude could mash and be on the All Star team. A more extreme...

LOL! Surely, if he were a Yankee, Jacko would be projecting him over .900. I really like Dalbec and always have. I think he could end up over...

Fangraphs projects: IP Pitcher ERA 160 Perez 5.09 (seems about right- was at 4.50 in 2020) 151 ERod 4.31 (hasn't been over 4.20 since 2016) 150...

This is a guy who OPS'd well over 900 last season at age 25. We can only expect him to be at or better than that as he enters his prime 27-31. I...

.700>.850 (I'd bet on .790-.840ish)

Dalbec?

Here might be a reasonable low to high projection for the 2021 Sox players: SP IP/ERA Low to High ERod 100/4.50> 180/3.70 Eoval 80/5.80>...

I realize the major factor in our rotation improving more than anyone else's is the fact that we were rock bottom, last year, but the fact remains,...

Last year Red Sox starters posted 0.5 fWAR in 246 innings. That's a low hurdle to clear. ...

Your scalp is flaky.

You didn't get the memo guy? We're the best team since the 98 Yankees. The Jays will be renamed the Hens by end of season, and the Rays will trade...

Paxton, at 20.1 IP in 2020, still placed 6th in starter IP in 2020, so don't pretend he didn't pitch. He was also a big part of the 2019 rotation,...

@PeteAbe Nick Yorke, the first-round pick in June, is in camp. Was in HS at this time last year.

Yeah, I typically don't believe in the term "low risk/high reward" but this might be one of the rare cases.

Agreed, and even if he gives only 80 IP, $2.5M might be a bargain.

Could have the best starting rotation sitting on the IL in league history!

Paxton was hurt all last year. Tanaka was good. Happ was lucky (FIP>1 run higher than ERA). Here’s the deal. Taillon has FAR more upside than...

Is that because of all the strong talk about teammates having German's back, but that "he's on thin ice"?

He could either be a big bargain or just a guy who never makes it out of Spring Training. He's averaged 15 starts the past 6 years and only 84...

Yeah, German's head and Kluber's shoulder. :cool:

They don't even get their own baseball cards!

When you're a Red Sox fan, you can't even get too attached to the head of baseball ops! :cool:

Their offer of $2.5 million might have been the highest too.

The Yanks finished 7 games behind the Rays, who look to be significantly worse than last year- losing Snell, Morton and others and replacing them...

@redsoxstats Red Sox games on tv next week: Mon March 1, Braves, 1p NESN Tue March 2, Rays, 1p ESPN Sat March 6, Twins, 1p NESN Sun March 7,...

I think it was the opening in their rotation that did the trick.

Jim Rice Mo Vaughn Pedro Devers There were substantial gaps between all 4 players where I didn't have a favorite active player. Really, when...

This Until the season gets going, we are a question mark I will say this, I think we have enough players to make us a very good offensive team....

Ooh this is a fun thread idea. My favorite player transition has been ... Wade Boggs Mo Vaughn Nomar Garciaparra David Ortiz Xander Bogaerts...
