@jcmccaffrey Red Sox announce 10 non-roster invitees to big league camp: RHPs Dan Altavilla, Taylor Broadway, Durbin Feltman, Victor Santos and Chase Shugart INFs Christian Koss and Matthew Lugo INF/OFs Ryan Fitzgerald and Nick Sogard C Stephen Scott Aside from Scott and Lugo, doesn't seem like anyone else interesting in this group. I believe other NRI's have already been announced.

Well, the return on the Beni deal could have been worse. @NBCSEdgeBB Report: Khalil Lee accused of domestic abuse
-
No, we have standards here...
-
I think his defense is good at SS, but I think his defense is elite in CF. I'm not sure he has GG SS defense.
-
I don't think the Sox see him as an everyday player.
-
I love this comment especially: "all the rookies transition into good big leaguers without painful adjustments." There are 3 rookies listed with one being a backup catcher and another being a 29 year old from overseas that the Sox have scouted for and drooled over for years.

That damn CRACK medical staff.
-
It's more about knowing where the public will put their money, not where the Sox will end up.
-
The count is talking about something else entirely.
-
Not even close. Just because you don't like a poster doesn't mean you have to defame them.

Vegas Over/Under: 76.5 I kind of feel good about the over.

And and OFers glove.

With Sox > 10 Innings in 2022: 4th worst Hard Hit % 10th worst in HR/9 11th worst in Exit Velo There were a lot of hard hit balls, but he kept them in the park. However you feel about Winckowski is how you should feel about Crawford. They probably have the same feeling. Fringy rotation arm. Maybe can stick long term in the pen?
-
I'd probably call up Tapia for LF and have Yoshida DH at that point.
-
I think we'd see Ort before Mills. I think they want to tinker a bit with Mills before he shows up. They may even just keep Crawford and Winckowski down in AAA as starters and bring Ort up as a reliever.
-
No, that's what Turner was signed for?
-
Yes, but a 40th slip has to say Devers. That's the devil's bargain.
-
Oh. My. God...
-
Maybe all these little moves won't matter all that much.
-
I thought bigfoot was just a robot André the Giant?
-
I think the trade for Bleier makes the addition of Chafin highly unlikely.
-
Put all the names in a hat, close your eyes and pull the name out.
-
And I guess that's how little they thought of Thaddeus Ward. Still one of the weirdest decisions they have made. At least trade the guy...
-
He is DFA material if they are replacing him with OF depth. Greg Allen? Tapia? Not for a pitcher IMO. I think Dalbec has a bench role possibly, but also could be traded. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Yes, Ort and Brasier get a lot of hate as they seemingly should have been the first out of the door. I would have DFA'd Ort a long time ago. I just don't think moving on from German is a big deal. With Brasier, I at least understand why they believe his low bb% and late season uptick could show future value for this season. I don't really believe it, but I understand their reasoning. Other pitchers I could see DFA'd or traded for minimal return: Murphy Mills

Why are you using Houck's 2021 AAA numbers? They seem irrelevant. He had a 3.24 ERA in 2019 in AAA. The issue there was that it was mostly out of the pen. Do you remember why he had previous struggles and why he "suddenly" improved in MLB? When he first got into the organization, they messed with his delivery multiple times instead of just letting him throw the way he always had. Through 2019, he still struggled get LHB out. As an RP, it's not a big deal, but they still hoped he could at least be a spot starter. Thanks to COVID, they left Houck at the Alternate Training Site and intentionally stacked LHB lineups against him to get him to work through it and learn to be a better pitcher. Because of that, he had to learn a splitter. Without that experience, he may not be the MLB pitcher he is today.
