Dave O'Brien is pretty terrible. Any game where Eck isn't on is just brutal to watch.
-
The bigger decision is clearly thinking about Vaz and if you want to extend him or if you want to go in a different route for the next 3-4 years. No clue what they will do about Xander.
-
Dan Bellino had a 90.2 accuracy on Saturday, which was the lowest score since Laz Dias on 10/19.
-
Yes.
-
All those arb amounts are fine with me.
-
I've looked at the more advanced stats. Vaz is a top 20 defensive catcher. I don't think you lose too much if you put Wong in there. Not sure Vaz ever hit his defensive peak.
-
Yes.
-
Definitely, for more than two reasons.
-
Feltman is more likely to be picked than Ward who is more likely to be picked than Jimenez.
-
Yeah, it's a lot of money for a unit that only produces 1 fWAR.
-
If they like what they see in AFL, maybe they just say Plawecki and Wong are good enough for 2022?
-
I have to say that after a long while, the Sox finally have a group of interesting MiLB catching prospects: Wong Hernandez Cottam Groshans Hickey Lira They aren't all blue chippers, but it's a much better mix of guys than they have had since Vaz and Swihart came up.
-
I could see them using Wong as the backup. I don't think Ronaldo is there yet. They are going to make sure his bat fully develops in AAA as that is his carrying tool. He needs playing time.
-
If Vaz is gone, it's probably only for payroll flexibility. Will Bloom still be kept under a specific threshold?
-
Iggy has never had WRC+ seasons like Marwin did in 20 and 21. If Iggy runs out there with a 80 WRC+, that's fine with me. Steamer is projecting a 90 WRC+ for next season (same as Arroyo). Sign Iggy for 2 years and Iggy can help be a bridge if Xander leaves after 2022?
-
I think there is no chance Ronaldo is nontendered. His bat is decent enough to carry him even if he has to move off position. Is Plawecki/Wong a good enough unit to get by? Use the additional 7M for Vaz towards the starting rotation?
-
They like to call it the "dead ball" era, but that was the "real ball" era to me. When men were men and pitchers would throw 500 innings.
-
When Iggy came back, he said it felt like a "homecoming." Wonder if that will make it likely he sticks around? He seemed to get along really well with the team.
-
The only bad thing he's accused of is paying his son's legal bills. At any point, a judge could have stepped in and thrown Jared away for a long time.
-
I don't think they'll nontender Davis or DHern. I think both of them are fine in a bullpen role. Nontender Valdez? Ok? I think he got the short end of the stick this season, but I don't think it's a move that comes back and bites you. I think DHern could turn into a late inning guy if things break right.
-
I think Raffy is the 3B unless they bring someone else in. They don't have anyone in the org right now who can be a 3B for 162. Could Dalbec sub for Raffy here and there, probably. I think if the left side of the IF was Xander and Dalbec, the defense would look really bad. Casas is a shoe in to be the 1B at some point in 2022. If Xander isn't traded, the question marks will be 4th OF/2B/C. Are they comfortable with Duran as the backup? Can Arroyo stay healthy? Bring back Iggy to compete for the starting role and provide backup at SS and 3B? Do they want to spend 7M on Vaz? Cut bait with Plawecki? Will they try to rotate Wong in?

@steve_hewitt News: The Red Sox are promoting assistant coach Peter Fatse to become their new hitting coach after Tim Hyers declined an offer to return.

@baseballhall “This glove business has gone a little too far. True, hot-hit balls do sting a little at the opening of the season, but after you get used to it there is no trouble on that score.” – Hall of Famer Bid McPhee, who was born #OTD in 1859 and rarely wore a glove.
-
@jcmccaffrey Source confirms the @alexspeier report that Tim Hyers declined the Red Sox offer to return as hitting coach next season. Sox going to call up Rich Gedman?
-
Choker.
