    Aside from 2021, Eovaldi was not an ace.

    You just like teams that LOSE in the World Series. You prefer LOSERS?!?!?!?

    Tampa wants younger and cheaper arms. Kluber is neither of those. Charlie Morton has had 2 good seasons since leaving the Rays. Why didn't they keep him?

    When '04 happened, nearly everyone said "now I can die happy." A few moments later....

    If we're only going on the 40 man: Sale is the blueberry muffin guy. Kutter Crawford from Okeechobee, FL is the obvious python injury guy. The gator question is a trick question as they very rarely bite and are just scaly feral cats.

    We're still haunted by 2011-12 and the Sox have won 2 WS since then.

    I think they've given opt outs to lots of guys they weren't really serious about. At the very least, it's competition for Wong and McGuire and forces them to come in and earn their spot. Sox are very weak at the upper levels at C.

    Everyone always wants to be right. As long as the Sox win, it shouldn't matter which argument was right. None of us actually make the decisions.

    I guess it would depend on if there is a deep discount on their contracts or not. Are they going to go with the 14 pitchers/12 hitters again early on or was that just due to the lockout last season? Diaz might make sense if they think they only want a SS for a really short time and then will pass him through waivers. Goodrum can actually hit, so is more likely to get claimed. I believe Diaz is a good fielder but it would be an upgrade if he was given a noodle bat. Honestly, I don't want them to call up Edwin at all, because there are far too many Edwin Diazes that have played professionally and it's a real pain to pull up his FanGraphs page.

    It's our specialization.
  11. mvp 78
    He's NOT a lock for sure. It's between one of the OF guys (Tapia, Allen or some other guy), Alfaro and Goodrum. That's what I said yesterday.
  12. mvp 78
    Agreed. Unfortunately, he's going to be getting most of his at bats in the WBC it seems like.
  13. mvp 78
    It's 2/10 and they haven't even put Story on the 60 day IL. A lot can change in the next 45 days.
  14. mvp 78
    Some people really preferred those injury risks to Sale, Paxton and Kluber. Out of those 6 names, Kluber is probably the most certain to be healthy.
  15. mvp 78
    They will say "the starting rotation is worse and the offense is worse."
  16. mvp 78
    He has a nice swing for sure. He has a good approach. We'll have to see if he can hold his own against more advanced pitching. https://twitter.com/ObstructView/status/1623720198191648768

    Niko Goodrum is an actual SS. Arroyo has barely played SS since 2017.
  18. mvp 78
    @SmittyOnMLB Red Sox projected for last in AL East, according to ZiPS Projected Standings
  19. mvp 78
    If the season started today and the 40 man was full, yes.
  20. mvp 78
    Nobody expects him to be an ace. There is no "ace" on this staff. This isn't a team built for a deep postseason run.
  21. mvp 78
    If healthy, they should be pretty good. They've always been decent starting pitchers when healthy.
  22. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats FanGraphs' initial power rankings have the Red Sox 14th overall. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fangraphs-power-rankings-spring-training-edition/ No team’s roster feels as volatile as Boston’s. If everything works out right, the Red Sox could give the Rays and Blue Jays a serious fight behind the Yankees. Maybe all their health question marks turn out to be fine, Masataka Yoshida makes a seamless transition stateside, their veterans fight off decline for another year, and their youngsters take a major step forward. But there are so many ways that things could fall apart, and too many of those scenarios would have disastrous cascading effects across their roster. Threading the needle should be compelling to watch for outsiders and completely heartrending for fans in Boston. Compares Sox to Angels and Rangers. Projected record 82-80.
  23. mvp 78
    For Dalbec to be on the roster, I think there would have to be an injury to Casas, Turner or Devers. He's better suited to working on Corner OF defense in AAA IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    That's not really saying much. The Sox rotation is on the older side this season.

    "It's going to be awesome."
