Good thing Reyes can play the OF. Seems like they don't need Refsnyder then.
-
I just don't see them signing a big dollar guy to play the field.
-
1. Rafaela CF 2. Devers 3B 3. Turner DH 4. Casas 1B 5. Abreu LF 6. Duvall RF 7. Story SS 8. Urías 2B 9. Wong C Game is now Houck vs King.
-
Let's just run out a 4 man rotation.
-
Why don't pitchers go back to throwing 300 innings?
-
Ok. It's just that I think I've seen at least one or two other posts mentioning a look towards 2025.
-
Rob Refsnyder is a replacement level player. If he left, the team wouldn't notice. His numbers from 2022 were fool's gold.
-
Duvall could also backup 1B if necessary.
-
They won't replace them offensively, but they'd improve the team defensively.
-
I don't see them spending big on a positional player. If they did: UTIL: Merrifield Maybe bring back JT at 1/8M for 1B/DH.
-
Roman Anthony is already in AA. I think the org is planning on him being in RF at some point by late in 2025.
-
OPS in 2022 vs LHP was 775. OPS in 2021 vs LHP was 840. I'm going to have to disagree with the splits issue assessment for now.
-
It's easy to say "just add a 3rd SP." However, the market for SP is always tight. You're competing with 1/2 - 2/3's of the other teams for those players. Henry spent all last season talking down to Steven Cohen so I don't see him just opening his checkbook and unloading this offseason.
-
2 guys that don't like to pitch over 130 innings? Pass...
-
What kind of extension would you give him?
-
No, he's not. He's just a guy without options, unlike others.
-
Somehow it's the same people that think Andrew Benintendi taking a few steps and falling over was the greatest catch in Red Sox history...
-
Shouldn't signing a #1 SP, a #3 SP and simply having Story SS/Rafaela CF/ Abreu LF provide much better defense make them much closer to being contenders??? Did I take my crazy pills today? Yamamoto Bello Montgomery Crawford Sale That should be a good enough rotation. Wong C Casas 1B Reyes 2B Story SS Devers 3B Abreu LF Rafaela CF Verdugo RF Yoshida DH That's a much stronger defensive unit, especially up the middle. How long is this f***ing bridge? With a good rotation and a defensive SS, they should have been able to compete this year. Why can't they be better after tweaking the roster this offseason? Are people just assuming Bloom can't do it? Or are people assuming the Sox won't do it?
-
If you want a bigger sample: Career LHP OPS 757 I think the 2022 split is the abberration, honestly.
-
Are people already punting on 2024?
-
Cora is a decent manager and I don't know what kind of miracles we expected out of him when that's the rotation he was given. The bullpen was 3rd in innings pitched and overall compares favorably to Tampa Bay's.
-
Abreu didn't have a dramatic platoon split in AAA this year: LHP 788 OPS RHP 968 OPS That's a guy you roll out everyday. Refsnyder only had an 835 OPS vs LHP with worse D than Abreu.
-
You're not going to get much back, just salary and 40 man relief.
-
835 OPS, but his 459 vs RHP makes him useless otherwise and his glove leaves him solely in LF. That split is the same as Duran's overall OPS for 2023. Why not just go with Duran fulltime then (749 OPS vs LHP)? If he was hitting 1000 vs LHP, you keep him like in 2022, but that's not the case anymore.
-
He's fine in LF. He's about the same in LF as Refsnyder.
