    He saw the recent video of Paul Stanley lip synching to Detroit Rock City and realized he was living a lie. He's probably at home watching Zapruder videos of Mini Kiss right now.
  2. mvp 78
    I think they have a closer on the squad already (Houck).

    Lugo was DD.

    @NBCSEdgeBB Chris Sale (ribs) faces hitters Monday in Florida
  6. mvp 78
    Had to pitch around Refsnyder there. Refsnyder was due.
  7. mvp 78
    He had 7 SB's in 26 games last season. Granted, at lower levels, you don't need to really be fast to steal bases and the amount of SB's can be very inflated based on the effectiveness of the battery. Also, his SP scouting report lists him as un: Fringe-average speed. Good instincts, but not a burner. Will play faster than his foot speed because of how he reads the game. Seems right on the money? He can exploit his baseball sense at the lower levels. I don't think he's going to be a 25-30 SB guy in the bigs, but being a Sox has shows me seasons were Varitek reached 10 SB's and Vaz led the whole team in SB's. Maybe he's a consistent 15-20 guy just because of his baseball smarts and getting on base?

    @SoxProspects Red Sox affiliate SB leaders- 6/13 1. David Hamilton- 23 (AA) 2. Ceddanne Rafaela- 14 (AA/A+) 3. Jarren Duran- 11 (AAA) 4. Jeter Downs- 10 (AAA) 4. Tyler McDonough- 10 (A+) 4. Gilberto Jimenez- 10 (A+) 7. Phillip Sikes- 9 (A) 8. Marcelo Mayer- 8 (A) 8. Eddinson Paulino- 8 (A) I wasn't aware that McDonough and Mayer were doing this.

    2022: 6 DRS and it's only 6/13 3 RunsAboveAverage (was -5 at SS last season) I think he can be a very good 2b over the course of his Sox contract if they leave him there. Maybe even help him mentor Mayer when he gets to BOS.
  10. mvp 78
    I think you can find a replacement for Arroyo fairly easily. I don't think he's really a starting caliber guy. If I had to, I'd just role out the red carpet for a bunch of young guys and let them duke it out for 2b/ss PA's next year. Honestly, I'd consider just leaving Story at 2b for now and think about what the plan would be for Yorke/2b later on. I think you can piecemeal SS for 2023/24 until Mayer is ready.
  11. mvp 78
    They have more upside that throwing Brasier and Robles out there again. I'd also cut bait on Diekman if I was GM.
  12. mvp 78
    Mayer also missed about 2 weeks with the wrist injury. I don't think they are going to rush him. I'm not sure there is any reason to at this point. He'll finish this year at Greenville. He'll either start at Greenville next season, or Portland if he's really mashing. If he follows the Bobby Witt track, he'd be ready n 2024.
  13. mvp 78
    I'm not sure they'd do it before 200 PA's. It's not the worst thing in the world to let a guy have success. I think they'd probably keep him down long enough to play in whatever All Star game they have at Low A this year and them promote him after. That seems to be when a lot of the promotions happen.
  14. mvp 78
    It's why you don't put someone like Arroyo in the OF.
  15. mvp 78
    He sat on the bench for long stretches of last season too for no reason. Cora just might not like the walks. IDK.
  16. mvp 78
    They only use him in very low leverage situations. Cora does not trust him. You can see that Cora doesn't trust Valdez in how that guy is used too.
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe Darwinzon Hernandez to 60 Day IL?
  18. mvp 78
    Brasier.
  19. mvp 78
    I considered it, at first and had Verdugo in RF.

    2023: RF JBJ CF Duran LF Verdugo 2024: RF Fitzgerald/McDonough CF Rafaela LF Verdugo 2025: RF Fitzgerald/McDonough CF Rafaela LF Binelas/Hickey 2026: RF Bleis CF Rafaela LF Binelas/Hickey

    Garrett Whitlock has been dealing with hip tightness in recent weeks. It could at least partly explain why Whitlock's performance lately has been up-and-down. Whitlock normally runs outside and on stadium stairs in between starts, but the training staff might have him switch to running on a treadmill instead to see if that helps his hip problem.
  22. mvp 78
    1b, 3b, lf
  23. mvp 78
    I'd just DFA one of the arms. They have to reduce the number of arms they can have in the pen by Monday anyway.
  24. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Dave Bush tells @jcmccaffrey that in a few weeks if Sale is throwing well they'll decide if they want to bring him back and finish his progression out of the bullpen, or if he will go through his full progression in the minors and return to the rotation around the all-star break. I'm not against Sale pitching in the pen exclusively this season if everyone else stays healthy. Seems like you could ramp up Houck to start if you had to.
  25. mvp 78
    The last two lineups were head scratchers. It was like when I'm playing a board game with one of my kids and going out of my way not to win.
