    The reality is that his ego would not fit this bullpen, because he would want to close. I am not sure what 2019 had to do with the 2016 bullpen. I am pretty sure that Koji will not be a major piece of any bullpen in 2019 and neither will Papelbon.

    Travis looks like the real deal. The ball explodes off his bat. He tracks and identifies pitches very well. He can handle pitches on the outside edge with authority and turn on the inside pitch. As far as Craig is concerned, there is no place for him in this organization. If neither Travis or Shaw come North, they will be the everyday first baseman at AAA and AA. That would leave Craig nowhere. They should just cut him loose.

    I would rather have Papelbon than Carson Smith. I think Papelbon is as good as Koji or Tazawa, but Papelbon would want to close and he would not close ahead of Kimbrel.

    I was at the last 2 games. Pablo is not going to be making any big turnaround. He looks awful in the field. In addition to his two errors today, on Sunday he made a misplay on a steal of third base. Hanigan made a very accurate throw that had the base runner beat. Pablo arrived at the base in time to take the throw, but he could not stop the momentum of his massive body and over ran the base and had to reach back for the throw and couldn't apply the tag. He looked ridiculous I think DD should convince JH to eat Pablo's contract and move Hanley to third base. Hanley just cannot pick balls out of the dirt. I like Travis Shaw and Sam Travis. I think both can handle first base and hit well.

    This may be the beginning of the Red Sox setting up Farrell for his exit. They need to dirty him up if they want to move on from him after the cancer.

    By Yep, unless you live on a very large parcel of land in a very rural area, intentionally discharging a firearm within (usually 200 yards) of another residence is a criminal offense. Guns are legal in Florida and carry licenses are easy to obtain, but you can't discharge your weapons in your home in a residential neighborhood. This is pretty standard as it is extremely dangerous. I know a guy who about 20 years ago took his kid into his yard and set up a target in his garage and had his kid take target practice with a high powered rifle. Bullets were ending up all over the neighborhood in people's homes etc. He got arrested and it made the local broadcast news. I remember it well, because the kid was in my son's Scout troop. Yankee $ made this go away. You or me get charged and convicted. We might not get jail time, but we would get charged and convicted unless we had connections.

    It is still a very hypocritical puritanical town.
  8. a700hitter
    Not necessarily as to the first part.
  9. a700hitter
    Registered or not. I am pretty sure that willingly discharging a firearm within a certain distance from residences is illegal.
  10. a700hitter
    Intentionally discharging a firearm on one's premises isn't illegal? I find that hard to believe.

    Foulke gets my vote, but Uehara was a strike throwing machine who was nearly perfect.

    Visiting major league teams only bring 3 starting players to Spring Training games, so you are usually watching a lot of no name guys. there isn't a lot of high level competition at Spring Training.

    It looks like his belly got in the way of bending down.

    It was a doubleheader -- two 7 inning games.
  15. a700hitter
    You read that on Fangraphs?
  16. a700hitter
    What about discharging the firearm?
  17. a700hitter
    No. Not tday.
  18. a700hitter
    Severino looks like garbage today -- a bunch of walks and a grand slam and 5 runs in 1 2/3 innings.

    I don't think anyone understands the reason behind this change, a the FO has never articulated any reason. The rumor is that they were afraid of losing O'Brien. Castiglione on the radio is up there in years. He must be nearing an end of his career. OB could have stepped in as the primary radio guy. That is a pretty good gig.

    7:17pm: The signing has been announced by the Red Sox. Murphy will have an opt-out at the end of the spring, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald tweets. 10:35am: Murphy’s minor league deal contains a $2MM base salary, should he make the big league roster, according to the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier (Twitter link).

    You didn't lose much after that.
  24. a700hitter
    I forgot that they have Boesch too. DD likes to have a safety net.

    The competition will be tough. Thunder in his first season went wire to wire in the regular season. UN is always tough. SFOC is rejoining the league and he usually has one of the top teams and has won the league multiple time. iortiz is always very tough for me to beat even in the years when I win the Championship. My crown is in peril.
