Pederson’s last great year came in 2019, but he had some big moments during the Braves’ World Series run and brings plenty of postseason experience.

I think Robin might have hit off him...either way they said he had a tough 1991, signed a minor league deal for the Astros that winter and made the All-Star game. Sad to hear this.

fathom Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Can’t link it but Heyman (on tv) said the Sox are looking at top of the rotation pitching, relievers, 2B and RF with a focus on lefty hitting. Mentioned Conforto, Schwarber and Joc as possible fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 That's a lot for Loup but coming off a very solid year. Still don't like buying high on the secondary relief market when the variability in performance is so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Tepera has posted 2 straight years with strikeout rates above 30%. That'll get you paid. It doesn't take much for ~6M AAV to become 8.5 if the right teams are interested anyways.

Sad news, he was a solid pitcher, and closed out his career in his 40s stronger than most relievers in their peak (3.0, 2.4 and 1.3 bWAR ages 40, 42, 43). He pwned the Sox (61 1/3 IP, 3 HRs, 2.79 ERA, 5-4, 21 Saves). 10 minutes ago, maxjusttyped said: 2 years 17M with a club option for year 3 feels like it'll be right around what it takes to sign Tepera.

I can see Conforto for the OF and I love Schwarber's bat now that he's a bit more selective but he would add to our collection at DH. Pederson , no. I like Gavin Sheets. Steamer has a nice projection on him. Decent walk rate, not terribly high K rate. Plus power and can go the other way. He did extremely well in his 191PA appearance sample size, 12 HR ,9 doubles and 21 of his 44 hits were extra bases. That's a nice percentage resulting in a high ISO.

Schwarber was a beast versus RHP, with an OPS of .990, 200 points higher than versus LH pitching. However, as we all know, the problem with Schwarber is that he's not suitable for the OF and the Sox have too many first base, DH types. I've already stated my preference for Conforto, to fill the void in RF, while adding LH power. Edited November 22, 2021 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
