    Darwinzon Seabold German Some were traded for other guys. I don't remember if DHern was.
  2. mvp 78
    Or just trade Ward early in the offseason before you have to set your 40 man for the draft?

    Two days ago. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/03/red-sox-notes-alfaro-goodrum-tapia-allen.html

    Alfaro had an upward mobility clause, not an opt out. On 3/25, if he wasn't put on the 40 man, other clubs could offer to put him on their rosters in 24 hours. Clearly, nobody else added him as he's now going to WOO.
  5. mvp 78
    No, it just means no other team has offered Alfaro an MLB spot.
  6. mvp 78
    He had a 0.00 ERA in 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolaids_Relief_Man_Award

    @MacCerullo Word from Fort Myers is Bobby Dalbec has been optioned to Triple-A and Jorge Alfaro will remain with the Sox in Worcester. Presumably that means Yu Chang and Connor Wong will both start the season with the big league club.
  8. mvp 78
    Or they could have tried trading Ward prior to letting him just get taken 1st overall in the Rule 5 draft? He obviously had value.
  9. mvp 78
    The Red Sox could have also just kept Ward in AAA as well. Easy enough to manage his innings. We'll have to see if keeping Mills, Ort, Kelly and Murphy justify letting Ward go.
  10. mvp 78
    One of the knocks on Yorke is that he has the injury bug.
  11. mvp 78
    Why do you have Mills ahead of Bleier? Mills career: 6.21 ERA, 4.58 xFIP Bleier: 3.06 ERA, 3.79 xFIP Bleier has been a solid pitcher for a long time. Wyatt is a waiver wire guy.

    Ward's track record isn't that much different than Brandon Walter. Ward: 41 Innings AA, 0 AAA Walter: 50 Innings AA, 7 AAA Some people thought Walter could help the Sox early on this season. I'm not comparing Ward to Ort, but Ward to Chris Murphy. I think I would have kept Ward over Murphy 100%.

    @ChrisCotillo RHP Brayan Bello pitched in a minor league game on a back field today: 3.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 SO (42 pitches / 24 strikes)

    AAA Rafaela, Duran AA Abreu A+ ? A Bleis, Anthony Abreu hasn't really produced anywhere since leaving the HOU organization (POR, AFL, Spring Training). Rafaela also is far from a sure thing. Makes sense to hold onto Duran for now.
  17. mvp 78
    You can't DFA Ort. It's impossible. It just can't be done. Are you trying to throw the season?
  18. mvp 78
    Weren't Murphy and Walter already sent to AAA? Does that matter in Spring Training?
  19. mvp 78
    The roster is very fluid early on the season. It's really hard to know what Chaim will do at the bottom of the roster.
  20. mvp 78
    Maybe? Maybe due to the dearth of OF talent at the upper levels they just hold onto him as the ceiling would be higher than the return? IDK.
  21. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Yu Chang has arrived.
  22. mvp 78
    @MacCerullo Today's #RedSox lineup vs. ATL, perhaps a preview of the Opening Day lineup? Verdugo RF, Devers 3B, Turner 1B, Yoshida LF, Duvall CF, Casas DH, Arroyo 2B, McGuire C, K. Hernández SS, Pivetta P
  23. mvp 78
    I'd be more likely to trade Dalbec than Duran. Duran still has the potential to turn it around this year. Dalbec is probably just a bench bat.
  24. mvp 78
    It's a shame that Duran sat around during the WBC rather than getting reps in the OF. It automatically pushes him to AAA. Tapia and Alfaro have both played well this spring. Alfaro doesn't really have the skillset that the Sox are looking for in a player aside from owning a catcher's mitt. He has shown some versatility in the past and could technically play a 1B/LF/C/DH role, but that K rate is a little obscene. Tapia is fine, but arguably isn't much of an improvement from Refsnyder. Is it worth putting him on the roster and making the 40 man move? If they are moving someone else via trade, that is a more likely scenario to get them on the 40 man roster than straight up DFA'ing Ort.

    I think Crawford probably has the higher ceiling than Winckowski. It's a little surprising as Crawford was unheralded in the system for many years and now they're relying on him to be the 6th man in the rotation. This is from his SoxProspects page: Summation: Projects as middle reliever. Ceiling of a high-quality swingman, capable of pitching in short or long relief outings with the occasional spot start as well. Has the potential for two above-average offerings in his fastball and curveball and a solid third pitch with his cutter, but command needs refinement. Combination of delivery and injury track record point towards him being best suited for a bullpen role. He never ranked higher than 17th in the system.
