Red Sox vs. Off-day: 3/27

[Brandon Glick]

Hard to ask for a better start than that, right? Crochet looked dominant, the Roman Empire looks even stronger in Year 2, and Mayer looked really good off the bench.

Going to be a busy week — five games vs Reds & Astros before the next day off.

It is WOO's Opening Day. 4pm for anyone that has NESN or mlb.tv.

If Mayer can stay healthy, he will be a perennial all star for us. Hit, defense and some power. He is built for success at Fenway!!!! 

 I know everybody is going to focus on the previous proliferation of injuries, and that is why I say “if Mayer can stay healthy”

It's very fair to hedge all conversations about Mayer with his health status.

I think that's excessive, but I like that you said it.

Being in better shape can help.

Fingers crossed!

I’m hoping his surgery last year keeps him healthy for once…

Well, he's had a string of injuries, not all connected to his wrist.

His wrist is completely separate from his body?!?

That’s a much bigger problem!

Today was Opening Day for Bobby Dalbec too! 

Yomiuri Giants newcomer Bobby Dalbec is the first non-Japanese player in club history to hit in the 4th spot for the Giants in his 1st year in NPB, and hit a HR on Opening Day. He's the 12th Giants player to hit a HR in his 1st game in the 4th spot

Cubs & Hoerner agree to $115M/6 extension.

Let's see what they do with Matt Shaw.

Needs to stay on the field and then I can see this happening. Red Sox depth will allow AC to ease him in against lefties.

Cora is going to want to try to keep IKF fresh and playing enough to not get too rusty.

Rightfield until Suzuki returns.  That why I question signing guys like Bregman.  You get a good player to replace a pretty decent player, when the $31M could've been spent elsewhere.

They coulda traded an infielder to BOS.
