  1. Wong's CERA with Crawford? YUCK!
  2. Not sure how they’ll split it, but 60/40 sounds about right.
  3. Yes, also not a very good pitcher though.
  4. I’m down in God’s Country and could see it on MLB.tv. Unfortunately, Youk and DO couldn’t see it from the pressbox. Sad!
  5. @jcmccaffrey Adam Duvall won AL player of the week, his first player of the week award in his 10-year career. In three games, he hit three doubles, a triple, two homers, had eight RBI and six runs scored.
  6. The starters were 18th in fWAR in 2022. They were not a good rotation. The plan was bad. It relied on older, injury prone guys. We'll see how the rotation holds up for 2023. At some point, I don't think you can keep making excuses about the budget for Bloom. He has had a few years to clear out the old contracts. The only real weight on there now is Sale. The rest of the contracts are all on Bloom. If he can't create a competent rotation because of one bad contract, he needs to go.
  7. Huh? There have been increased steals across the league. Sox were really caught with their pants down though. No teams in 2022 averages a steal per game. In 2023, there are 11 teams averaging at least a steal a game.
  8. He doesn't know how to acquire starting rotation arms under the qualifications he's currently set up.
  9. You weren't impressed with the big jets that flew over Fenway on Opening Day?!??! Sir, you need to hand over your Sox Nation papers for shredding! @TimBritton The Brewers' home opener included a flyover of the stadium. The roof was closed.
  10. And the guys the Orioles had running all over the place were already on the roster last season.
  11. Oh, you're referring to before he even graduated? I don't know anything about that. I thought you were talking about flight school.
  12. My biggest concern with Bloom is the title of the post. 2020 Rotation - s***. One of the two worst rotations in the league. 2021 Rotation - Low key not great aside from Nate! ERod, Richards, Perez all had ERA+ under 100. Success was just health luck. 2022 Rotation - Parade of Injured Pitchers and Ineffectiveness. If the rotation struggles this season, there's question on if Bloom knows how to build a rotation. W
  13. If he left early, he would have to pay back all his financial obligations. That's why he was filing for the the exemption.
  14. Dalbec has started at 3B, SS and 1B in WOO. WOO Manager: “For right now, he’ll play mostly in the infield, but I told him, for the time being, when you’re done in the infield and you’re feeling good, get out and shag some fly balls at the corner outfield spots,” Tracy said. “We’re trying to maximize his ability so he’s able to play different spots. For now we’ll toy with him getting reps and getting balls off the bat and getting used to reads in the corner, and we’ll see where it’s at as far as games there.” He's also wearing prescription glasses while hitting now.
  15. To me, he's lower on the pecking order. If I'm managing the Sox, I'm not sure he's a setup guy going forward.
  16. How aside from repaying for his schooling? He asked for multiple exemptions. He was denied each time until this time.
  17. Ferguson hit 181 in Greenville last year... Getting 51 SB's in Low A isn't a big deal in the least. He is unranked in the SoxProspects top 60. Abreu and Hamilton aren't projected to have an impact on this season's roster.
  18. And that % is even higher if you go to Navy. Sad! Since 1979, Navy has had 3 seasons where the football program has had a .750 winning % or better.
  19. Management was basically drunk 75% of the time back then and stealing from the team the other 25% of the time.
  20. I'm going to disagree that Schreiber is too good. His velo has ticked back down to pre-2022 levels. There's a good chance that he was a one year wonder. Ort, Kelly and Crawford are the easiest to move down right now.
  21. He has NOT looked good so far. He can come back up later if he turns it around.
  22. Cardona? He got an EXEMPTION on basically day 1.
  23. Wrong! It goes back to 1892. The various rules around it have slightly changed over the years. Cecil Cooper was taken in the 1970 Rule 5 draft by the Cardinals but was sent back to the Sox.
  24. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Rowley
  25. The Navy let Joe Cardona skip his assignment right out of college to just be a long snapper for the Patriots. They did the same for Keenan Reynolds in the same NFL Draft.
