AAA relief pitcher who was taken in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft. He's fine. I don't think he's a long term 40 man roster guy.
-
I'm not surprised, but for a "pure hitter" like Yorke, I'm surprised he's had to resort to switching up his swing already. My other concern with Yorke is the persistent health concerns.
-
This is they poster they've always been.
-
I'm not sure he's going to hit 53 HR's, but he should be pretty good. His defense needs a little work.
-
Yes, we know. I'm not sure anyone on here has actually seen what Bloom has done that has added value to what was already part of the Sox organization. BOH was already here. The scouts were already here.
-
I thought you were an xwOBAcon guy?
-
A reason for Henry to keep Bloom around until he's ready to spend again.
-
He's not the guy doing all the scouting. He's the guy listening to the scouting and picking from a hat. The rankings are based on the top tier talent (Rafaela, Bleis, Mayer). Rafaela is a DD guy. Bleis is a highly ranked IFA guy that Bloom didn't scout. Mayer fell into his lap. Bloom would have a higher ranked farm if he half assed his way into getting some pitching talent.

@redsoxstats Since the start of May, Casas ranks 24th/195 in xwOBA among hitters with 100+ plate appearances. Here's his closest match: Matt Olson. xwOBA combines BB%, K%, and quality of contact.
-
Actually, there's a good chance Durrmody passes through waivers and is sent to WOO again.
-
If they fire Bloom, it will have zero to do with Durrmody.
-
That was inevitable by simply hoarding prospects for a few years. I don't think Bloom really invented the wheel.
-
At some point, Column B is just a really stupid decision that makes McGuire just look ridiculous but really didn't outwardly hurt anyone but his own reputation.
-
Depends on how well his new swing adjusts to the higher levels of pitching. It's got a very unique timing device that could get thrown off kilter at higher levels.
-
Bauer was sent down to Japan's minor leagues. Couldn't hack it at their big league level.
-
They already have a GM (Brian O'Halloran) in place. Going without Chaim (Chief Baseball Officer) for the remainder of the year shouldn't be a big deal in theory.
-
1. Devers is not a 300M man. 2. Devers only has one skill: hitting. 3. Devers doesn't have a good IQ. 4. Devers is possibly immature and needs a binky. 5. Not hating on Devers though!
-
Just push him lower in the order. Casas has hit well over the past month though.
-
Joe Jacques (pronounced Jakes) being called up today. Needs to be added to the 40 man somehow. Duvall is also supposed to be added back onto the roster today as well coming of the 60 day IL.
-
I always listen to internet psychologists.
-
They are going to keep him around until they get a determination on Sale's health. If Sale is done for the year, Kluber is the 5th starter.
-
His swing is completely different now though?
-
Embarrassing is a word for it. Thanks, John.
-
They could have just called Walter up and sent him back down. I know this was in part due to the double header, but there were other ways to manage this if they only needed 3 innings. Just throw Kluber out there since that's what they ended up doing anyway? IDK. Sometimes Chaim just does the dumbest s*** and doesn't anticipate the obvious blowback.
-
They could have signed him, they didn't want to.
