    Mine was an intentional misspelling.

    I don't necessarily believe in his defense, but he's on the 40 man. Why not use him? Bloom just makes some weird ass decisions.

    "Off field issues"

    I just don't understand why they haven't left Reyes in there and just used Kiké in a UTIL role. Kiké is killing this team.

    @SoxProspects Marvin Alcantara went 3-for-5 with a double (2), home run (1), and three RBI (4) in today's 7-4 FCL Red Sox victory.

    Durrmody vs Civale Sox will need the bats to come alive tonight.

    @SoxProspects Nick Yorke went 3-for-5 with a home run (7) and five RBI (26) in today's 13-7 Portland Sea Dog win. The 21-year-old second baseman is slashing .294/.402/.489 over 214 PA at Double-A.

    @SoxProspects Elvis Soto did well in his first FCL start pitching to a line of 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. The 19-year-old righty had a 3.42 ERA over 23.2 innings in the Dominican Summer League in 2022. Through three starts (13 innings) no Red Sox FCL starting pitcher has allowed a run.

    Let Roger go to TOR.

    Left Jeff Suppan eligible to be selected in the expansion draft.
  12. mvp 78
    Traded Aaron Sele plus for Damon Buford and Jim Leyritz
  13. mvp 78
    Traded Jamie Moyer for Darren Bragg.
  14. mvp 78
    Traded Canseco and Wasdin and $$$.

    Early on, Wong's defense was looking pretty strong, but it has taken as step back. His framing is bottom 5 of all catchers above 100 innings.

    On TalkSox, hyperbole is the main course.

    Mayer hit his first AA tater yesterday, but is sitting today. https://twitter.com/RedSoxPlayerDev/status/1666616322447364096

    And Cora was a decent defensive MIFer too. It just doesn't make much sense to me. Career 10 DRS at 2b, 20 DRS at SS.

    @redsoxstats Yoeilin Cespedes just hit his first home run in the Dominican. The reports on him are extremely exciting. Guessing he is in Florida soon. @SoxProspects Yoeilin Cespedes gives the DSL Red Sox Blue a 5-2 lead with a two-run homer (1) in the bottom of the fifth inning. The 17-year-old infielder is #41 on the #SP60. He was signed for $1,400,000 back in January.

    Also, saying "if we use 160 innings as a full season" is a little silly as he's only pitched over 160 innings TWICE in his 12 years pitching professionally (even including MiLB innings).
  21. mvp 78
    That's because it's heavily weighted towards his 1.7 fWAR over the previous 68 innings. 40% of all his fWAR since 4/1/21 has come just the past two months!
  22. mvp 78
    JD typically starts off the year hot. I expect him to fall back to earth at some point. I'm not sure what effect Petco will have on Wacha if any. Wacha's currently on pace for 187 innings which would be a career high. Seems unlikely? He'll probably hit the IL at some point and we'll see reduced effectiveness afterwards. IDK.
  23. mvp 78
    WOO's 4th or 5th starter. Garbage arm.
  24. mvp 78
    And defense should be relatively cheap to acquire. I don't understand why he just ignored it for SS/CF/2B and seemingly elsewhere. It's clear that he's trying to get to a future season to add Rafaela/Mayer and some other missing pieces from the minors. That doesn't help us out now. He also said that the team would be competitive now and that it would be awesome. I just don't have faith that he can create a team that can really be consistent year to year. In 2021, it was still largely DD's team. Not every young player has a smooth transition to MLB either (see Casas). What is Bloom's fall back plan? Does he have one? Doesn't seem like he does. He adds to the bottom of the 40 man roster so that the Sox can be an 81 win team rather than a 71 win team, but why not take the 81 win team and make it a 91 win team with better talent at the top of the roster?

    Valdez is just horrible at 2B. I get that he can hit RHP, but he is just terrible out there.
