Red Sox and Porcello signed extension

4/$82.5 million for Porcello is not a gamble I'd make on a pitcher with 5.5 K/9 career.

 

WTF? I could maybe see 15M per, but ... yikes.

Considering what Kluber and Yordano Ventura just got, that's very expensive.

I'm calling it: Dallas Keuchel has the best facial hair in baseball. It was good last year, but it's on another level right now.

 

I've been thinking the same thing all game long.

Keuchel's beard is majestic... and so is Colby's hair!

Oh yeah lol. Isn't he in AAA? Or did he make the team this year?

 

He made the team I believe. But yeah, Ashby too!

That seems like too much for sure. The Red Sox are just flat out sold on him I guess, trading for him and now going all out extending him before he even pitches. In a year or two we could look back and say they got a good deal, but I really doubt it.

The "Wobble Wag Giggle Ball" ???? That has to be the most ridiculous commercial I've seen in a LONG time, and that's saying something since it seems to be an actual product.

The 5-hour energy commercial is the worst for me at the moment.

Meh. Boston is betting on a 27-year old with no history of arm trouble and a ~3.5 xFIP over the last three years. Their analytics guys obviously believe he's a 3.5 ERA guy they can count on for 30 starts a year. If he pitches to his peripherals again this year there's no way you get him for 4/80.

I realize I am late to the party, but WTF on giving Porcello 82.5 million over 4?

 

They could have offered that at the end of this season, and short of him winning the CY he would have accepted that, no?

 

JESUS. Good news for us I guess. I think that while they are paying him to be elite, he'll be far from it for Boston.

 

I'm pretty sure Kluber is getting less, even if he hits all his performance incentives in his contract, and Kluber actually won the CY Young award.

 

With the partial no trade, who ever the agent is for him should be commended lol

 

On another note, man Colby in CF always looked really good... only if he gave a s*** about Baseball. His eye improved at the plate too, walked a bunch in ST IIRC and walked today

Porcello gave up his age-27-30 free agent years. Kluber gave up four years of team control. The two situations aren't comparable.

That is true. Regardless Porcello wouldn't have gotten that much money in his FA years I don't think

Keuchel made two plays on grounders to get out of a jam! Would be a good start for the Stros if they can hold on to this lead

 

Keuchel's GB rate for the game is like 85% lol.

 

Probably Neshek then Gregerson for the win?

I think they're going Sipp then Gregerson. Sipp was up earlier

And according to some dog owners, the ball is a POS. It breaks when a dog wrecks it and risks injuring them.

Yes he would have. He is easily projectable for 10 WAR over the course of this contract. The Red Sox don't care about his past ERA, nor should they.

 

Perception of Porcello is going to change a lot this year.

The worry for me easily is his K/9. I don't trust starters who don't strike guys out a lot with a big contract. That's just me though

Drabek's line:

 

1.1IP, 6H, 2ER, 1K, 1 HR(Rios). Expect him to be DFAd once the White Sox get Sale and/or Petricka back. Drabek shouldn't be pitching on any MLB club, and I think AA knew it when Hynes, Castro and Osuna made the team over him.
