How long do you think until Andersen is buried in the AHL?
-
I really have no idea why that front-office decided to move a 1st and 2nd for a mediocre goalie then extend him for 5/25, but I'm pretty happy about what moves like that and Matt Martin says about their process.
-
Freddy Andersen working out really well so far.
-
Anybody with poor CF depth want Ender Inciarte? Slashed 341/386/440 in the 2nd half.
-
Lawrie, JPA, Cecil, Romero, Jansen, Thames. The future. Those were some dark times.

Mods, ban plz. -
I don't see the Sox trading Eaton for a pitcher. They already have Sale, Quintana, and Rodon anchoring the rotation. Their lineup depth is trash.
-
He certainly didn't. It was a shortsighted panic move that I thought would fail miserably.
-
I don't really see why pagan would get more than Aoki did in his last two deals (1/4 and 1/5.5). Maybe he goes to 1/6 or 1/7 or something?
-
I could see him signing for like 1/5 + an option or something and providing close to 2 wins from LF. Would love that signing.
-
Yeah, this team really needs to invest in a high-end 3B.

Two years ago Osuna was entering his age-20 season and had never pitched in AA. He was a fringy top-100 type. Him throwing 143 MLB innings in his first two seasons with a 2.63 ERA, 3.1 fWAR, 3.4 WPA, and 4.3 RA-9 WAR while probably sitting top-5 in reliever trade value is him turning into a very big success IMO. This is a prospect who panned out beautifully, and as low as my opinion is of AA, I think this actually turned out well.
-
Really happy about four of the things he said: - hasn't decided on QO for Saunders (hopefully this is a polite way of saying Saunders) - Osuna is a permanent reliever (I think this is for the best) - wants a good backup catcher who can have productive ABs (no more Thole, and they probably won't start the season with a Jimenez or McGuire) - referenced the strong market for OF/1B in free agency (intends to make use of the free agent market) No red flags at all in that interview. Except saying Bautista is a competent OF. Really hoping he doesn't return.
-
Yeah, it's over. Osuna will never start here.
-
Not a whole lot there really. Biggest takeaways: - QO will be offered to Bautista and Edwin - still not sure on QO for Saunders - Osuna is a reliever permanently - They'd like to bring Biagini to camp as a starter - would be willing to go 3+ years on a contract for a reliever - "Looking for back-up catcher who can handle our pitching staff, be a leader, give a productive at-bat." I like what he said about Osuna and the backup catcher position. I bet we see the team in on Suzuki, Hundley, and Castro
-
that's bait
-
Yeah, that would be a steal. I think he gets closer to 8/240.
-
Tellez is interesting. There are no red flags in his numbers, and yet scouty types (like Eric Longenhagen) keep saying they think the swing won't work against MLB pitching.
-
Mike Trout.
-
If I'm putting money on Osuna best days being either ahead of him or behind, I'm taking behind. Would anyone be surprised if his arm explodes?
-
Recent comps are the Kimbrel and Giles trades. So lots.
-
Not sure either of those are clearly better right now. Probably Diaz, but I'd like to see more than 50 innings from him.
-
We're really debating whether Osuna is a top-20 reliever? I think the list of guys who are clearly better is Britton, Miller, Chapman, Betances, and Jansen.
-
I don't think he's written anyone off. He's pointed out that his bat has declined, and that his defense probably will too as he gets to his mid 30s.
-
It's a terrible way to evaluate a relief pitcher.
