2022 Spring Training

[moonslav59]

Bold bullpen prediction - despite very limited appearances in spring training, this year’s breakout star in the pen will be Jay Groome…

 

That is rather bold. There are so many pitchers who may end up getting a look-see.

 

Eovaldi

Sale (IL)

Pivetta

Paxton (IL)

Wacha

Hill

Houck

Whitlock

Crawford

Seabold

Winckowski

Groome

Bello

 

Barnes

Brasier

Taylor (IL)

Diekman

Robles

Strahm

Davis

DHern

Sawamura

Valdez

Holland

Bazardo

R Garza

 

Not on 40:

Keller

Schreiber

Hart

C Murphy

B Walter

V Santos

 

Kelly

Feliz

Danish

Cole

Bracho

Ort

Gillies

Hartlieb

Feltman

German

Shugart

Wallace

[Larry Cook]

Guessing a minimum of 11 pitchers to open the season in the bullpen. So Barnes, Brasier, Whitlock, Diekman, Strahm, Davis, D Hernandez, Sawamura, Robles, Valdez and maybe Crawford…

 

In this scenario you have houck in the starting rotation?

No Holland?

Cora announced Houck is starting.

Good choice, if he makes the 28 over some of the other iffy lefties. I'm going to go with Matt Strahm, who batters haven't seen much in these parts. Plus, his moss will undoubtedly be a target by those who live to blame others for all the ills of the world (and take the heat off JBJ's swing, Bogie's range and Cora's beard).

Yes. I should have just used by “Houcklock” moniker that indicates either one interchangeably…

No Holland?

 

Derek Holland does deserve a chance to start in Worcester or purchase quality tickets to watch games at Fenway…

Holland has shown a lot in his 0.0 innings pitched during ST.

[mvp 78]

Holland has had a negative fWAR season 4 out of the past 5 seasons and is now mainly a reliever. Not sure I'd pencil him in for starting anywhere, including WOO.

He has shown that I’m right in his best chances at making it to Fenway involve a paid admission…

[Bellhorn04]

Who will pitch more ML innings this year?

 

-Derek Holland

-Shelby Miller

He’ll fix that dreadful infield that only has two shortstops currently….

Maybe that will be the matchup for a one game playoff?

Holland has the inside track because he's a lefty.

[mvp 78]

Arroyo is starting in RF today.

This is happening.

[mvp 78]

This is happening.

 

LF - Christin Stewart (LHB)

CF - Rob Refsnyder (RHB)

 

I don't want either of those guys in BOS.

I don’t mind if they’re in Boston. Just as long as they’re not playing for the Red Sox.

 

But if they want to visit the aquarium or grab a bowl of clam chowder at Legal Seafood, I’m fine with it…

I’d much rather see Franchy get another shot than either of these guys…

I kinda agree.

@ChrisCotillo

Hansel Robles is still not in Red Sox camp due to visa issues. His minor league deal became official on 3/19.

[mvp 78]

@PeteAbe

If Travis Shaw makes the team, he's the backup first baseman.

 

If not?

 

Cora said Christian Vazquez and Christian Arroyo could handle it.

 

Uh?

[mvp 78]

@PeteAbe

Jonathan Arauz and Bobby Dalbec will start work with bench coach Will Venable tomorrow on learning the outfield.

 

Alex Cora: “We have to prepare ourselves for anything. You never know what can happen in a game."

 

Now I've heard everything.

@stephenethom

Joe Castiglione: The Pirates actually lead the Grapefruit league in home runs.

Will Flemming: And what does that tell you?

Castiglione: That it's been a very windy spring.

 

Castig needs one run as a tv broadcaster.

[Old Red]

Diekman. Another bad outing today.

[mvp 78]

@redsoxstats

No troubles in the outfield for Arroyo

Arroyo is already better than JD in the OF.
