@redsoxstats we had a guy who was getting ~40% whiff on his changeup with an insane GB rate yet this “pitching lab” decided to completely change him (after extending him pre-arb)
@redsoxstats Devers, Abreu, Duran (if we include him), with the number 1 farm in baseball, arguably best manager in the game, and basically no long term payroll commitments
Now: Devers gone, Cora gone, farm is depleted, over the second luxury tax, last place
@redsoxstats Makes sense. Probably too much to ask but any chance we get a substack with your thoughts on some of the rumored targets, or maybe things that haven’t been mentioned that you would like?
@redsoxstats Stats I was wondering with a guy like Tucker if he were to get 400 million is it better to go like 12-13 years or 10 or fewer? how do you value AAV vs late-30s/early-40s seasons? I feel like I’d rather get the AAV down and just eat the money in the future if we have to
@redsoxstats Stats what’s your take on Mayer coming up to play 2B at some point? Wouldnt it just be better to have Story shift over and keep Mayer at SS(ik that might be a defensive downgrade but would at least keep Mayer at his position of the future)
@redsoxstats Isn’t it a little concerning that it took people on twitter for Red Sox coaches to notice this difference? Or perhaps is it just coincidental timing that they noticed it the same time everyone else did
