    Naw, both would have some trade value in the offseason still. As long as they're under the tax there's no reason to dump salary for no return

    What do you think the BoSox feel like tonight against Francis?
  3. John_Havok
    Even if Bo has that risk profile, he's on the books for 1 more year at 17 million. Why on earth would we trade that away to replace with someone worse, and more expensive, for longer. Makes zero sense I know you're not advocating it. The entire conversation about it is lunacy

    First hit was a triple. Bet that doesnt happen very often
  5. John_Havok
    Giants putting Ray (hamstring) and Hicks (shoulder) on the IL.
  6. John_Havok
    It's not obvious?
  7. John_Havok
    Also true

    Right now, just looking at the numbers...who's gonna sign to be a 4/5, for less than Yariel.makes and pitch as well as he has? Right now Yariel is pretty much on par with Bassitt as far as fip xfip xERA etc all go. Sure Bassitt is having a down year for him, but...the point stands. I think pushing either Francis or Yariel to a pen role just doesn't make sense unless the numbers of the new guy are demonstrably better. Otherwise you're just shuffling chairs on the Titanic.

    I think we generally agree that adding to the bottom of the rotation doesn't move the needle. If anything they need to add to the top.
  10. John_Havok
    Right now, if you make the assumption that Yariel and Francis are the 4/5 starters, they have the back end of the rotation covered for just over 7 million. Both are proving (so far) to be capable back end starters. Why sign another guy, for more money to pitch like a 4/5 when there's already two options in house for cheaper? They don't need improvement at the back end, they need improvement at the the top and middle

    Focus on Soto, but keep Santander as the pivot fallbacknplan. Alonso would be fine too, but I shudder to think of the IF defense with Vlad at 3rd, Bo at SS, Horwitz atv2b and Alonso at 1st. That might be Greek tragedy level s*****
  12. John_Havok
    A guy like him has to believe he's the best, even if he demonstrably isn't. He's not taking a discount, never was. The Jays can afford to pay him market value, the trick is getting him to realize his market value isn't higher than Judge, or whatever Soto gets, or even really comparable to them from an AAV standpoint. If he isn't willing to accept that, then they have to part ways. If Vlad thinks he's worth 40 million per season, he has to hit like Judge for more than 2 months.

    And if the Jays kick Boston in the nuts this series grant will be Masterbathing for a month
  14. John_Havok
    Kinda makes ya think the Jays better not completely turf defense next season, or this could be them next August
  15. John_Havok
    I know right... he checks every box they want to check in a position player, it's just that he'll have so many teams in on him. Way more teams will be on him than there were on Ohtani. Washington, San Fran, both NY teams, of course the Dodgers, Seattle should be, Toronto. And of course Team X will be Biggest kick in the dick would be Baltimore finally paying for a real FA.

    5th. The 1st game technically counts as a June game.
  17. John_Havok
    We don't need back of the rotation piece, need top end to push other guys down.
  18. John_Havok
    Checked the rulebook to clarify: When a batter leaves the game with two strikes against him, and the substitute batter completes a strikeout, the Official Scorer shall charge the strikeout and the time at bat to the first batter. If the substitute batter completes the turn at bat in any other manner, including a base on balls, the Official Scorer shall score the action as having been that of the substitute batter. So basically of its a 2 strike count and the su stature batter strikes out...it's charged to the original hitter. If anything else happens, it goes to the sub. Rule 9.15( I take the L
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah, according to tye rules, if a hitter is replaced mid PA and a the substitute gets on base...it counts for the first guy. But if the sub hitter gets out, it counts against the sub
  20. John_Havok
    If that's the case then there's no rush at all on him. Did the Covid thing grant an extra year of control for all those kids?
  21. John_Havok
    Roden must be Rule 5 eligible this offseason right?
  22. John_Havok
    Well, tyhe fun thing about it, since the Sox put in Jansen to catch, he was behind the plate for his own pinch-hit PA. Had Varsho hit a HR, it still would have been credited to Jansen, who then would have been behind the plate for his own HR.
  23. John_Havok
    What's weirder is that the King of everyone's steroid butthurt, Bonds, only topped 50 once when he hit 73
  24. John_Havok
    Weird...
  25. John_Havok
    He's also not on the 40 man, so they'd have to DFA someone. Not that they couldn't find a reliever to turf easily enough, just sayin.
