    I guess it depends on your definition of "just South." In the grand scheme of things, it is "just south" of Boston latitude wise.
  2. mvp 78
    Yes it is further south than Boston. Is Worcester "just south of Boston?" Nah. I think there's a more apt description of it.

    He wasn't last season.
  4. mvp 78
    He has taken to it much better than a guy like Kavadas. I didn't have Hickey on my list to be strapped to a rocket, but I'm glad to see it. He's had a big bat since the beginning of last season.

    Go get it Lycos!

    Duvall is only 3ish weeks away?
  8. mvp 78
    His whiff percentile is better than the previous 3 years. He's fine.
  9. mvp 78
    Uh, Sox are currently ABOVE .500...
  10. mvp 78
    STL was a good team with a bad record. Because these Sox are a WC "competitive" team, they will have lots of series where they look a little outmatched. They aren't the buzzsaw they once were.
  11. mvp 78
    Late into Spring Training, even. Every team was passing on him.
  12. mvp 78
    Pivetta maybe? I don't see it for Kluber. If Kluber gets his control back, he can get back into a rotation somewhere.
  13. mvp 78
    I'm not going to fret over Devers' numbers when he currently sports a 252 BABIP. Hey, wasn't banning the shift supposed to fix that? He still has his best UZR/150 and a positive OAA. xWOBA 366 - 84th percentile AvEV - 94th percentile Hard Hit % - 93rd percentile xSLG - 93rd percentile I'd like him to increase that BB rate a little, but I think he'll be fine over the long haul.

    Reportedly, he was professional about the move to the bullpen. At least there's that.
  15. mvp 78
    He waited out the FA class and whiffed bad.
  16. mvp 78
    Yup, he's going to need to learn to pitch to more advanced hitters. This may be the impact of getting rid of short season ball. Low A is now the talent level of short season. High A is now the talent level of Low A. AA is closer to High A than what it used to be. AAA is a much bigger jump than ever.
  17. mvp 78
    It's to keep him as a depth option in case of injury to Whitlock/Paxton/Sale. I don't think he has any value in a trade. It's either bullpen, phantom IL or DFA.
  18. mvp 78
    I'd rather acquire him early and extend than compete for him in FA. IF THAT'S THE GUY THEY REALLY WANT.
  19. mvp 78
    The Red Sox are moving struggling veteran Corey Kluber from the starting rotation to the bullpen, manager Alex Cora told hosts Andy Gresh and Christian Fauria in a radio appearance on WEEI this afternoon (Twitter link). They’ll move back to a five-man rotation consisting of Chris Sale, James Paxton, Garrett Whitlock, Tanner Houck and Brayan Bello for the time being.
  20. mvp 78
    For one year or to include an extension?
  21. mvp 78
    You just have to believe that the Sox know which prospects to give up and which ones to hold on to.
  22. mvp 78
    He asked for the Sox' original offer. The Sox said no.
  23. mvp 78
    Prior to this season, he was great at limiting hard contact and had a low bb rate. May not have a high k rate, but that's the reason his xFIP is typically higher than his ERA. He's a good pitcher. I would feel more comfortable signing him to a deal than RODON. Urias' velo is down a little this year which is *interesting*. Ohtani's TJS is also in my notes. Ohtani will most likely be overpaid. Both are likely to be injured. Urias is probably a little more budget friendly, but we'll see.
  24. mvp 78
    This is only true if every rotation is equally distributed in those 5 segments of the 150 pitchers. We know that isn't the case.
  25. mvp 78
    Why aim for a "#5" when it could be a guy with upside like Whitlock or Houck instead?
