    With the more I see of his moves, the more I wonder how much of a say he really had in Tampa? OR how much is someone else really calling the shots here?
  2. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe Tigers lineup has eight RH hitters vs. Chris Sale. Watch to see if he's able to throw his slider to the back foot of those hitters. If Sale has that pitch, he'll succeed. If not ...

    Bello threw 5 innings yesterday in an extended ST game. Velo was 94-95. Next stop is WOO on Tuesday most likely. So Whitlock in BOS on Tuesday and Bello in WOO on Tuesday...

    Interesting that they are keeping this guy, but got rid of BJ Vela, a guy the same age who could actually hit (927 OPS in FCL vs Valdez' 574). Seems weird.

    @SPChrisHatfield Of note with the rest of the full-season affiliates starting today, Freddy Valdez, a rookie ball OF acquired from the Mets as part of the Andrew Benintendi deal, is converting to pitching.

    Barnes was awful in ST. They were going to work him into the closer rotation, but noped out of it when they saw how bad he looked. His FB is under 94. He's not k'ing anyone. He has a 167 BABIP. Batters have a zone contact % of 100 against him. I'm skeptical that he's going to do well over the long term. If he was playing here and had these numbers, I'd feel the same.

    SoxProspects are big on Marvin Alcantara. They are working on updating their scouting reports from ST. Not sure I see Noah Deah jumping into the top 100. He's currently ranked 41st in the system and is projected as a relief arm. Are you thinking of Drohan? Guys that I can see jumping into the top 100: Perales Romero Anthony Hickey I think more Sox fans will know about Paulino after this year, but I'm not sure he's a Top 100 guy type. Maybe Meidroth jumps up in the Sox system too.

    There are approximately 15 teams in Wild Card contention in each league, so we'll just have to see!

    Also to note, Bleier's velo is WAY down early on. Not sure if that is normal for him, but a 36 year old reliever losing 2 mph is not great. Need to monitor him going forward.
  11. mvp 78
    I think you need to pick the prospects you want to keep and deal the ones you believe are at the zenith of their value (Houston with Valdez and Abreu?). Don't deal them all, but don't hoard them all either.
  12. mvp 78
    Do they become so dominant without Price, Sale, Kimbrel and JD? Ben could probably sign JD and Price, but would he be able to do the Sale and Kimbrel deals?
  13. mvp 78
    I don't know if he could do a Sale or Kimbrel trade. Chaim is doing what Ben did. Need a younger version of Dombo who can be competitive while trying to maintain the farm.
  14. mvp 78
    Rose was a good pitcher until his elbow issues in 1998.
  15. mvp 78
    I really liked what I saw of him at 2B. I don't like constant tinkering. I know his arm was already diminished. Why even try moving him to SS? Doesn't make sense to me.
  16. mvp 78
    Defensive metrics early on are wild. -1 DRS, 5.8 UZR/150, 1 OAA. Haven't watched any ChiSox games, so can't really comment.
  17. mvp 78
    Brasier has Matt Barnes disease right now; he's not throwing first pitch strikes. His appearances against the Pirates were an improvement over the slop he served against the Orioles though. Maybe he can slowly turn it around. Ort isn't walking anyone, but isn't fooling anyone either. Swinging Strike % of only 3.3! Contact % 93.3! If you get a clean inning out of him, feel blessed and have him hit the showers. Kelly is working with a hard hit % of 54.5! His ERA is 1.93, but all 3 of his pitches are assigned negative values on FanGraphs for 2023. Adding in a BB rate of 7.71% means that Kelly could be the first guy optioned to AAA IMO.
  18. mvp 78
    Luis Perales is starting for Salem today.
  19. mvp 78
    The Orioles didn't run wild in their next series the way they did against the Sox.
  20. mvp 78
    Andrus has a 297 OPS right now.
  21. mvp 78
    Booing is always an option.
  22. mvp 78
    I mean, unless the Bucs are an upstart team this year and make a run at the Wild Care, it's pretty damn embarrassing.
  23. mvp 78
    It's zero. I don't see anyone on here who really toes their line.
  24. mvp 78
    I'm fine with the Story signing IF AND ONLY IF they see him as a 2B and NOT a SS.
  25. mvp 78
    I'd send him to AAA so that he can continue to start.
