    The issue with Law is that he's just a one man show. The other places use several people to make up the list. One person shouldn't be the end all, be all.

    This year's Apple TV game that nobody will be able to watch is: Friday, April 14: San Francisco Giants at Detroit Tigers 6:30 p.m. ET; Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox 7 p.m. ET
  3. mvp 78
    I'm pretty sure the only group to leave them outside the top 15 is Keith Law.
  4. mvp 78
    Seems weird though?
  5. mvp 78
    Wow, you really missed the mark with that post. That's why I wrote "like" Iglesias. Duh! He had a really bad defensive season in 2021, but was average last year. His -4 DRS and 3.1 UZR/150 was Xander Bogaerts-esque. Sox fans wouldn't notice a difference. He'd be fine enough.
  6. mvp 78
    I think that's a good guess. The only change would be if they wanted to sneak Sheriff on there as he's had a pretty good spring. Yes, that would take another roster move! Yes, I would DFA Ort for Sheriff! I don't see them starting with only 12 pitchers early on. The starters just aren't typically stretched out early on to do something like that. I think Whitlock is back after 10 days. Bello is probably back after 20. Paxton is back after 30? Not sure if they are leaning towards Crawford or Winckowski as the 5th man.

    What's the worst that can happen? They're a last DAMN place team? That's not uncharted waters.
  8. mvp 78
    @chadjennings22 Short-term injuries are piling up on the Red Sox pitching staff. Reliever Wyatt Mills is being shut down for several days with elbow inflammation. Like Whitlock, Bello, Paxton and Rodriguez, he isn't expected to miss a lot of time, but timing isn't great so close to Opening Day. Mills was a potential AAA guy to me anyway. Joely is the bigger issue for the pen.
  9. mvp 78
    No, I think this just started because we were having a conversation about the best defensive alignment for the Sox. I'd prefer: Kiké CF Arroyo 2B Duval RF Other SS (the other can be Mondesi/Iglesias/any capable and cheap SS) Maybe Kiké stays at CF and Rafaela can come up? We'll see.

    @tylermilliken_ Today’s lineup for Red Sox @ Pirates: 1. Duran CF 2. Casas 1B 3. Dalbec 3B 4. Palka RF 5. Alfaro C 6. Goodrum SS 7. Allen LF, 8. R. Hernández DH 9. Yorke 2B Josh Winckowski makes the start. If the Sox lose with today's murderer's row, just stick a fork in the season!
  11. mvp 78
    I mean, they traded for Mondesi, but the guy can't get through a quarter of a season anymore.
  12. mvp 78
    @SPChrisHatfield Dates to keep in mind: 3/25 - Alfaro's (and Goodrum's but whatever there) upward mobility clause date 3/27 - Tapia's opt out No news on that day itself doesn't necessarily mean anything - sometimes it's 48 hours to add the player or something.
  13. mvp 78
    Sacré bleu!
  14. mvp 78
    I mean, we were told it didn't matter when they were unbeaten, so the current slide must no matter either.
  15. mvp 78
    No, they could have signed a cheap SS like Jose Iglesias and left Kiké in CF.
  16. mvp 78
    What kind of bad feeling? I think it's really low stakes for those two. I don't expect either to hit all that much. The 13th best Catching team per fWAR only had 1.8 fWAR last season. There were 11 teams that didn't even get to 1 fWAR at the position.
  17. mvp 78
    He has the dreaded reverse CERA split with Vazquez??? Unheard of!
  18. mvp 78
    @IanMBrowne Verdugo will also play his first game back from the WBC on Friday. Maybe Yoshida this weekend?
  19. mvp 78
    Really hard to say. He was a +3 DRS in LF with TBR in 2018, but hasn't had a lot of time there. Last year, he only spent 24 innings since they went out and got Pham at the deadline. He's clearly more suited to fielding LF and maybe RF depending on which field they are playing at (like Yankee3).
  20. mvp 78
    And because Arroyo and Mondesi have extensive injury histories.
  21. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Yoshida just arrived. “I am tired,” he said in English. Casas should point him to where the best napping spots are.
  22. mvp 78
    Yu Chang may be the Pedro Ciriaco/Jeff Bailey of 2023, but because of the WBC rather than Spring Training.
  23. mvp 78
    Maybe? He played well at the WBC, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's in the long term plans for the Sox. They did drop him at the end of last season before bringing him back well into this offseason. A whole bunch of other teams passed on signing him for several months.
  24. mvp 78
    Not signing a SS forced Kiké to SS.
  25. mvp 78
    He hit leadoff 10 times in 2021 and 4 times in 2022. I'd rather it be a guy with a higher OBP, which is why I'd prefer Verdugo, but it makes a weird LLRL at the top of the order.
