    I would never.
  2. mvp 78
    It's a game where you get out 6 to 7 times out of 10 when you step to the plate, so yeah...

    BTV accepted: Devers Xander Machado Cronenworth Snell

    Dice-K was good for 2 years. His arm was gone after then. There have been lots of good players to come from over there. The talent level doesn't have the disparity that there once was especially when we are talking about velo.

    Good thing his 2 HR's yesterday still counted and aren't imaginary as some posters are seemingly suggesting today.

    Devers is having his best defensive season since 2019 when he had 17 OAA. 1 DRS 7.7 UZR/150 2 OAA https://twitter.com/tylermilliken_/status/1650506438664417288

    They sucked last year. Bloom had a weird offseason. They started off bad this season. I can't fault anyone who was has been frustrated so far.

    Yikes... Well, my rule has always been not to get too worked up until Memorial Day. Even if I'm saying DFArroyo, I think a guy like him has another month to pull out of it. Overall, I want to see what the Sox look like at the end of May before I freak out either way. Two months should also be a good trial period for Masa to work out a new approach and get over some of the bumps and bruises he'll have early on. The numbers may not be great this first year, but I think there should be some really solid stretches. And if you have to rain on the parade after 2 HR's in one inning, I don't know what to say.

    To me, it depends on who is playing in the other positions. Verdugo has had a STRONG season in RF (1 DRS, 2 OAA, 9 UZR/150). If Verdugo is sitting, you are almost forced to play Duran in CF because of how bad his arm is.

    His hard contact is about MLB average per Statcast. His groundball rate was just too high. Maybe there are more artificial surfaces where he played before? Maybe he is being pitched to differently? He is showing in a small sample that his approach has changed. We have to see how this plays out over a whole season rather than a few weeks.
  11. mvp 78
    I seem to remember this too!
  12. mvp 78
    With Duran, I am still wary of a 32% K rate and his 563 BABIP. He's going to come back down to earth at some point. Does he end up hitting 275 or 225? Will the BB rate still be about 10%?
  13. mvp 78
    Magnetic personality.
  14. mvp 78
    Chang plays defense and hits bombs. They also don't have ANYONE ELSE that can play SS. They are stuck with him. I think they can fake it at 2B for a while with the some of the people they have in the org.
  15. mvp 78
    Ok, ignoring his 6 RBI yesterday he was still on pace for an 85 RBI season over 150 Games. Our biggest complaints last year were that Xander and JD weren't getting RBI. Both of those guys were under 80 RBI last season.

    That's why I use OBPts+. You get a boost for leadoff BB's.
  18. mvp 78
    Stick it out with Casas. DFArroyo.
  19. mvp 78
    "Cupcake schedule." The cupcakes were made by a psychopath.
  20. mvp 78
    I'm not sure it matters who catches Kluber. I'd have Wong catch Sale again.
  21. mvp 78
    Yes, sorry I meant Ferguson. You don't think Rosier is off to a good start in AA? He's the same age as Ferguson and has a 846 in POR. He was also projected as a bench bat. I didn't even recognize his name prior to this season. He's really a speed guy, 8 SB, 12 H, 3 2B. Ceiling of a bench/5th OFer.
  22. mvp 78
    He doesn't look overwhelmed. He just needed a different approach. That's on the coaching staff to work with him and show him what will work in MLB.
  23. mvp 78
    Every stat is sacred. Every stat is great.
  24. mvp 78
    IDK. If the pitch is inside, pull the ball. If the pitch is outside, hit the ball to LF. The issue before was he was rolling over the outside pitches towards 2B over and over.
  25. mvp 78
    I agree. His two question marks were making contact at the MLB level and defense. If he can make good contact, that just leaves figuring out a defensive approach that gets him to a moderately below average level. That should be doable. He doesn't even need to be a starter. If he can be a guy that you can just platoon or rotate in, that's big. Most of us had written him off entirely.
