Alfaro will be back in ST soon. Colombia just lost in the WBC and they were relegated for the next WBC tournament because they came in last in Pool C.

What a horrible way to live!
-
With a metric f***-ton of expiring contracts after October. Sometimes you don't hold out hope and just punt for the betterment of the team.

@jcmccaffrey The season starts two weeks from today and it’s crunch time for non-roster invitees. Rob Refsnyder and John Schreiber were NRIs last spring and made the most of their opportunities. Raimel Tapia - with a 1.244 OPS - is trying to do the same this spring. “We talk about disruptors and guys that can make an impact on the bases and going first-to-third, dirtball reads, great reads out of the box. He plays with his hair on fire.” Tapia’s aggressiveness on the bases is another element the Red Sox like

LOL. I just Lou Gorman'd myself. I get the Reese's candy bar. If you read it, there's an apostrophe. The candy bar is his. I didn't know that. Next time your eating a Reese's and some guy named Reese comes up to you and says let me have that. You better give it to him. I'm sorry Reese, I didn't think I would ever run into you.

"Well, we're only 5 games out of the Wild Card. Maybe we'll just stand pat and see where the season takes us!" And we'd still get some posters that would say "it made sense at the time."

Wong is catching bullpens and doing agility training already. He's probably ready for Opening Day.
-
If they carry a 5th OF, it's Alfaro.
-
Bloom should be selling the Mets on Brasier and Ort right now.

If he's on the MLB roster, it's as a bench bat or due to an injury. I just think if they really want to maximize Dalbec's "utility" that there are other ways to do it. And yes, we are talking about it because half of the players are at the WBC and it's ST. Not much else to talk about right now. There's still a chance Dalbec isn't on the 40 man roster at the end of March.

Anyway, Kluber threw 5 innings today. Whitlock threw 2. Martin and Joely each threw 1. Rays lineup wasn't great, but can't complain.
-
I just think it's something that should probably go away now that it will be harder to truly shift on batters.
-
Literally 3x worse. Tapia: -4 DRS in 935 innings Refsnyder: -5 DRS in 303 innings (would be ghastly if pushed to 900 innings)
-
What do you mean? He got Refsnyder!
-
Yoshida LF Duvall CF Verdugo RF Seems like the emphasis on defense in the OF will be "get the ball back in to the IF."
-
Is it THAT much of a better choice when Refsnyder's defense is 3x as bad as Tapia's?
-
@jcmccaffrey Kluber strikes out the side (all swinging) on 12 pitches to start the first against the Rays.
-
Maybe some days? I'd be more inclined to sit Verdugo vs LHP.

https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/1636023656965980160 Bello is throwing his slider, changeup and sinker today. No issues noted.
-
It means to me that you can't read much into his ST numbers.
-
@BeyondtheMnstr Chris Sale on not getting the ball for Opening Day: “I definitely understood why he (Cora) did that and I really appreciate it. It takes the pressure off me a little bit, whoever starts that day, it’s going to be fine.”
-
Is Sale being sent to the pen?
-
Ortiz didn't have a 34% career k rate before coming here.
