    Yeah, but we're free to talk about all things Red Sox on here. Feel free to talk about Brennan Bernardino if you'd like!

    Until Masa actually starts putting good wood on the ball, he can be lower in the lineup. It's just ugly right now. He's just pressing too much and not going the other way. Having him hit leadoff would make it worse.

    xBA top 4% K% top 4% Whiff% top 3% OAA top 5% Highest BB% of his career I just hope he recognizes that this is the best fit for him as a player.

    This is just the bad "they are playing a kids game" argument.
  5. mvp 78
    I've seen little indication that his creativeness can work in our favor either. I think his plan is simply: 1. sign veterans to short contracts to fill whatever holes are in the lineup while staying under the CBT 2. wait for the prospects to get to BOS The problem with the first part is that the short contract guys typically are the lesser FA's and are older and more likely to break down or perform poorly. The problem with the second part is that prospects get injured, don't develop or take too long to develop. And it doesn't seem like the Sox have some scouting or development advantage over other organizations.

    Verdugo has been killing it there, I wouldn't move him. He's also expressed a desire to NOT hit first.

    It's not Bloom's mess?
  8. mvp 78
    It was his first start of the year with bad weather and he had no Spring Training because he was shut down due to an arm issue. If there's any time to give him a pass it'd be this game. Sheesh.
  9. mvp 78
    That's why the Rays are always a solid team. They just play good baseball day in and day out. Why Bloom has built this team in this manner? I have no clue. We've all talked about the concerns defensively and the low ceiling the rotation could have. This is Bloom's mess to figure out.

    There's always an adjustment period for young players and for guys transitioning into the league. That's why this is a bridge year. There's going to be ups and downs until they figure it out. Maybe they make a run in the second half, may be not.
  11. mvp 78
    Until Masa starts hitting, he shouldn't be at the top of the lineup.
  12. mvp 78
    They got Story on a discount because all the other teams knew about his bad elbow just look at the contracts handed out this offseason!
  13. mvp 78
    Orioles are 9-7. On the Sox schedule between now and May 22: Twins 10-6 (must be good because they can beat the Yankees) Guardians 9-7 (same record as lowly O's) Mariners 8-8 (.500 team!) Braves 12-4 (yes, good) Phillies 6-10 (bad team!) Brewers 11-5 (probably good) Cardinals 7-9 (below .500!) Pads 7-9 (below .500!) That's 4 series against teams with .500 records or below, plus the Guardians that have the same record as those horrible, no good Orioles!
  14. mvp 78
    There hasn't been much in game performance to judge. The coaching staff say he's making strides in practice and in the offseason. It's a big unknown. I don't think he'll ever be an average defender. Maybe he can be coached up to slightly below average?
  15. mvp 78
    That's what happens with the bottom of this lineup.
  16. mvp 78
    Greg Maddux '86: 5.52 Greg Maddux '87: 5.61 Every pitcher is different. I'm not sure Bello has ever been compared to Pedro or that he should be. He has promise, but there are bumps along the way for young arms.
  17. mvp 78
    He was never going to be. He's maybe a #2 if things break right.
  18. mvp 78
    It's his first start of the year and he didn't really have Spring Training because of an arm issue.
  19. mvp 78
    He just likes the smell of used cars.
  20. mvp 78
    The tough part is that he and Nick Yorke play the same position. They'd need to decide where to move one of them if they pushed Meidroth up. I don't think they'd move him before the end of May no matter what.
  21. mvp 78
    This is a ST lineup.
  22. mvp 78
    If he's BB'ing 20% of the other time.
  23. mvp 78
    He's not good at actually stealing bases though. That's more of David Hamilton whose early numbers are smoke and mirrors.
  24. mvp 78
    More gloom and doom from moon. The Garfield of TalkSox. Typical Monday.
  25. mvp 78
    Chang's 36% k rate is a big problem for him. The hope is that Duran is turning a corner. No harm in finding out.
