  1. Niko Goodrum and Edwin Diaz, come on down! You're the next contestants on Bloom wasn't Right!
  2. It's going to be awesome.
  3. Running through potential trade options for Barnes: 1. Mets for Carasco, adds to the 2017 feel of the rotation with Sale, Paxton and Kluber! 2. Phillies for Kingery, provides additional injury insurance for Arroyo and Mondesi. 3. Rangers for Brad Miller? Yuck. 4. Rockies for Blackmon? Yuck x2.
  4. I'm mashing the Mondesi/Arroyo timeshare button.
  5. If we're really forecasting a homegrown 2026 rotation: Bello Whitlock Perales E Rodriguez Cruz Paez German, Fernandez, Wikelman and Mata in the pen.
  6. Too many holes to fill and not enough guys at the upper levels to fill them, yet.
  7. @redsoxpayroll With Hosmer signing in Chicago, Barnes' $9.38MM AAV is now Boston's only dead $ for `23. 2022 ~$20MM (Price, JBJ) 2021 ~$30.3MM (Price, Pedey, 2020 ~$2.5MM (Worman/Hembree, Lucroy) 2019 ~$24.5MM (Pablo, Thornburg, Nunez) 2018 ~$33.6MM (Hanley, Pablo) 2017 ~$18.5MM (Pablo)
  8. If he starts in the rotation, he's only moved off if he hits the IL.
  9. They legit glorified Perry back in the 80's for cheating, but what these guys did is a bridge to far? I wasn't around for Perry's heyday, but I know that Bonds was truly one of the all time greats. Yeah, I'd rather go to a museum that had Bonds, Manny, Clemens and ARod than one that has Gaylord Perry, Jim Bottomley, Chick Hafey and Harold Baines.
  10. I think his defense played up at 2B. I'd personally keep him there.
  11. Nobody wants him for 8M. I bet they could trade him and eat 6M. That's probably what they'll end up doing.
  12. If Mondesi goes down: Kiké SS Arroyo 2B
  13. It's the dirt worst. Better say nothing at all.
  14. If Paxton is ready, is he in the pen or the rotation?
  15. Beltran's known issues are being associated with the Astros cheating scandal.
  16. Known cheater Gaylord Perry is in the HOF and nobody bats an eye. Everyone who played from 1987 - 2004 and beyond is a good suspect for using some sort of PED's. Impossible to parse them all out so why bother.
  17. I still remain positive on Barnes this season. I think he'll be a valuable arm somewhere. He won't be a late inning guy.
  18. It seems to me that they don't have a trade partner yet. They just feel that Brasier has the better upside.
  19. With Mondesi, they are just looking to find a stop gap for the year. I think they need Story to just get healthy again and play out the remainder of the contract AT 2B.
  20. Motter did have a 1262 OPS with the Sox.
  21. Hall of Fame results are announced tonight. The only guys above 75% so far on public ballots are Rolen and Helton. We'll see if they can sneak in or if the remaining ballots get them under 75% again. Wagner has 71.6% and all others are below 70. My ballot would have been: Abreu Beltran Buerhle Helton Jones Manny ARod Rolen Sheffield Wagner Red Sox legends Mike Napoli, Jacoby Ellsbury, John Lackey and Bronson Arroyo have received zero votes so far. RA Dickey and Huston Street each received 1 vote so far.
  22. "Cough Syrup" guy.
  23. If there's a light down the end of the train tracks, it's probably a train, not mojo with a headlamp.
  24. Mondesi career wRC+: 79 Andrus career wRC+: 86 Mondesi zips projection: 320 PAs, .240/.277/.383, 79 OPS+, 1.5 WAR Andrus zips projection: 529 PAs, .238/.290/.363, 80 OPS+, 0.9 WAR
  25. Health, he's a post-TJS guy. You can manage his innings better in the pen. His stuff can play up out there. His last fully healthy season was 2017.
