    Pen still struggling. Tanaka leaves with a runner on 1st and 1 out and Green allows 3 more to score

    I could see a Bradley for a player like Trevor Williams from the Pirates. 4-ish ERA, ate some innings, etc. You wont get the production Pomeranz gave, but maybe you could get some length out of him. I am not advocating for Williams, I am just saying a deal for a guy like him

    He did. He was really, really good today. Jones got a hanger and banged it. 6.1IP 2ER is a really solid start vs anyone, let alone B-More. Cashner is just handling us right now
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Damn, down 2-1. Jones tags Tanaka after a bloop single

    Judge has hit all 3 balls to RF. If he keeps that stroke, he will have an even better season. He started to suck last yr when he got pull happy

    I do anticipate this is the last year for Bradley in Boston. He is about to get very expensive through the arb process and they have built in redundancy with JD Martinez capable of playing LF and Beni capable of playing CF. I think they will deal him for a mid rotation pitcher to replace Pomeranz

    Great AB by Andujar there. 0 outs, runner on 2nd, he grounds out to 2b and gives a sac fly opp to Gardy. The kid can handle the bat, he just needs the chance

    Your staff will be tested going through the AL East outside of TB. Interestingly, when the Rays had Dickerson, Longo, and Morrison, their offense was actually pretty tough.
  9. jacksonianmarch
    Your offense needs to break out. Your starters cannot be given no room for error forever. That can work vs the Floridian teams. Doing that vs NYY, BAL and TOR isn't gonna work

    Tanaka really has reinvented himself. The backwards approach is certainly helping him. Sliders for strikes, 2 seamers for strikeouts, splitters when behind in the count. Hitters have no clue what is coming

    It is due to opening day at Fenway. If the game is cancelled, the fans can still go to opening day. They are doing this for all outside park home teams

    As is the case with lots of good players, if you deal them when theyre slumping, you will get 50 cents on the dollar. When they are streaking, you don't want to deal them
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Soooo, you do know the sox have the highest payroll in baseball, and it isn't close
  14. jacksonianmarch
    2018 sox so far. Great pitching, weaker offense but timely hitting late, terrible baserunning, solid defense.
  15. jacksonianmarch
    And he is gone to the A's. I am surprised they didn't activate him onto the 25 man to be totally honest. Oh well

    Analytics are playing a huge part now. Back in the day, scouts showed up, gushed or poo pooed someone and that was it. Now, theyre grading every pitch on the 20-80 scale. They have velocity, spin rates, exit velocity, launch angle, bat speed, etc. There are far more psychological aspects taken into account as well. The Yanks have been doing this for 3-4 years or so and it has borne serious fruit. I anticipate it will be copied. Also, great organizations scout their own guys more than they scout others, which is the new wave as well. It helps to know who is overhyped and primed for trade and also to identify guys who will be stars who you refuse to deal

    The other issue is that Frazier is accruing service time. I think in an ideal world, the yanks will keep him down long enough to save a year of service time

    Chavis is also starting on the DL with an oblique. The report on Groome seems to really downplay the issue, but it’s the same injury flaring up again. Those flexor strains have a nasty correlation with something else...
  19. jacksonianmarch
    The cold never bothered me pitching. I’d just wear long sleeves and the exercise would keep me warm enough. I hated it as a hitter. In 30 degree weather, even solid contact hurts
  20. jacksonianmarch
    It’s just strange that two in-division teams will play each other 10 times in a month (well, 33 days). And it just so happens to be a playoff contender and a rebuilding team with no lineup
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Weird scheduling sees the sox play the Rays 10 times before May 1. You also get to mix in 3 vs the A's, 2 vs the Marlins, and 1 vs KC before May 1. Front loaded schedule du jour. You should have a sizable lead after this month
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Hicks won the job and its his to keep. Unfortunately, Hicks goes to the Jacoby Ellsbury school of fragility, so Frazier will get his shot
  23. jacksonianmarch
    Glue factory
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Yeah, we haven't had our full complement of guys and I doubt Sanchez and Stanton hit under .200 collectively. This team will rake
  25. jacksonianmarch
    Rest them earlier as they are getting their legs under them. Then you rest them again during the dog days then full throttle through September
