  1. They must have updated his totals after yesterday's game because he's back down to 11.
  2. Braiden Ward challenged called third strike on 3-2 leads to a walk. Stolen base.
  3. The Braves started their extension signings in 2019. They have made it to the playoffs in 6 out of 7 years. Acuna: 8/100 worth it Albies: 8/38 worth it Riley: 10/212 TBD (started in '23) Olson: 8/168 most likely worth it (started in '22) Harris: 8/72 worth it Strider: 6/75 TBD health
  4. I think the Sox have two long term options in front of them if they are holding onto Mayer. 2028: Mayer 2B, Arias SS Godbout 2B, Mayer SS It may just depend on how the prospects develop over the next 18 months.
  5. Eaton has a much better shot at the Opening Day roster as he's already on the 40 man.
  6. Not on April 1. He could get a mid to late season callup.
  7. Ward is not competing for an Opening Day roster spot. He could hit .500 with his IF dinks and dunks and it's not going to get him a spot.
  8. He just completely changed his swing mechanics so he's going to need considerable time in AAA no matter what.
  9. Should have just tried to have a conversation with Devers last offseason about moving to 1b rather than all the smokescreen about Breggie being a 2b. I think Devers will be a fine 1b. 🫠
  10. I just don't think an Abreu for Paredes trade makes sense due to the additional 2 years of control. Sox aren't in a hurry to move an OFer now. HOU would have to really wow Breslow with an offer for Abreu. HOU just had Pena hurt his finger. Deal probably doesn't get done.
  11. I think with the IKF signing, they are showing that they are trying to maximize IF defense. Durbin was an above average 3b. Story was good at SS until the EOY. Mayer should be well above average 2b. Contreras is an above average 1b. If they swapped Story and Mayer, it would be a very good defense for sure.
  12. If he had a second tool, it would make sense. He only contacts the ball. That's it. For a bench guy, that's not great. Contact with speed or defense? Great! Maybe if he had an unbelievable platoon split you'd hold onto him, but it's not the case.
  13. How many Pedroias can they fit on this roster?
  14. He needs more than a few days to get passable at 2b! -16 DRS, -8 OAA, -10 FRV Mike Moustakas played a better 2b! Travis Shaw played a better 2b!
  15. Looks like five 20 HR guys to me.
  16. It's not that we hate Masa, we think the roster needs an adjustment somewhere because it's very clunky. If the Sox want to compete for the playoffs and succeed there, it's not going to be with a no power/no speed/LF only guy sitting on the bench.
  17. Yup. If they had traded Duran for prospects and Casas doesn't come back healthy, there isn't a reason to move on from Masa yet.
  18. Have Okamoto and Murakami shown that they can hit MLB pitching yet?
  19. In order to have a shot at 2b, he'll actually have to play there!
  20. Braiden Ward will not be televised.
  21. I was trying to decide between Arias and Godbout. I went with Godbout because I believe his bat is a better carrying tool. Arias has great defense, but hasn't shown much offensively IMO. He might end up just being a UTIL guy.
  22. Yup, it's why they moved Mayer to 2b. Romy can't play 3b.
  23. The guy that Japan blasted early this AM has 8 innings in the ACL, a few years in the Chinese league and had a 13 ERA pitching in the Independent League in '22. Not a high quality arm there.
