  1. They are also stretching out Whitlock. I think Houck is starting for now just because he has the history in the rotation. To me, Whitlock has the higher starter ceiling and Houck would make a great closer.
  2. King.
  3. As the TalkSox historian, the last time I saw this happen was when a user was running multiple accounts. So moon, why are you running multiple accounts and fighting with yourself? Hmm?
  4. I'm not taking anything away from Vlad. Dude is a beast. Wander, we haven't seen enough of to say he's better than Judge or Devers.
  5. Devers and Judge had a higher WRC+ last year than Wander.
  6. 2b/SS 2022: Story/Xander 2023: Story/FA 2024: Yorke/Mayer, Story at DH
  7. It's a concern, but lesser if they are putting him at 2b.
  8. It takes a village.
  9. @chadjennings22 Small Red Sox bullpen updates: - Josh Taylor has a minor back issue. Unclear if he’ll be ready for Opening Day. - Austin Davis and Darwinzon Hernández are getting stretched out for multi-inning roles. - Alex Cora seems high on Hirokazu Sawamura as an important piece in Year 2. Surprised about DHern, but he was a SP for most of his MiLB tenure. I could see Sawamura making a leap this year.
  10. @SmittyOnMLB Josh Taylor questionable for Boston Red Sox Opening Day roster because of back issue Clearing up that LHP logjam.
  11. @PeteAbe Trevor Story is not yet in #RedSox camp. Malcontent?
  12. Now that they are over, they should bring in Zach Davies on a 1 year deal.
  13. Just remember, for everytime a ball is hit up the middle that Xander misses, Story was worse at lateral movement towards 1b than Bogey in 2022 (per OAA). Also, Story may be "faster" but Xander is quicker running from home to 1b. Seems like Story may be losing some athleticism?
  14. Jimenez currently hitting 1.000. Cordero is tied for the league lead in hits. Elih Marrero has a 1.000 OBP. Dalbec leads the league in HR and RBI.
  15. @SoxProspects 3/21 vs. ATL: 1. K Hernández CF 2. R. Devers 3B 3. X. Bogaerts SS 4. J. Martinez DH 5. C. Vázquez C 6. T. Shaw 1B 7. J. Bradley Jr. RF 8. J. Duran LF (#SP60 #4) 9. Y. Sánchez 2B P. M. Wacha
  16. He did also sign Ockimey.
  17. He WAS a good defender. There is concern that his arm is no longer fit for SS. This is not "well Xander has a bad arm too" but rather "if you put Story at SS, he may be much more likely to wind up on the DL/IL."
  18. More XBH per game, but a lower OPS+. Change of scenery, plus injury concerns, plus home/away splits could turn this signing ugly.
  19. He's the opposite of Desperate Dave.
  20. TalkSox's love for Trivino can't be overstated. Simps.
  21. I'm more concerned about Story's home/away splits though. I wouldn't have signed him. It's more than a 50/50 chance that this contract doesn't work in the Sox's favor.
