  1. Having 4 starting OFers and parking a DH on the bench with Casas rehabbing with no clear path to playing time if he's healthy is bad team building.
  2. Please tell me I'm not going to have to hear "deathball" as the new hot pitch this year or ever.
  3. If Masa is DFA'd, he'll either go back to Japan or grab a one year MLB minimum deal to play at his preferred location. No way is he signing a multi-year deal right after being DFA'd.
  4. Rafaela's first two AB's: 103.5 mph, 102.3 mph Rafaela is batting 2nd. Xander is batting 3rd. Others of note: Ozzie Albies Didi Gregorius Druw Jones
  5. "Someone else will probably already be injured." Now that's some good team building.
  6. 14 of his 20 HR's were hit at launching pads for LHBs: PHI (3), LAD (6), COL (3), NYY (2). Him being able to perform at Fenway was not a given.
  7. He should stay there if he likes it so much. 😇
  8. I think the first impressions of him hitting 823 in April are what stuck in many people's minds. My other guess is that some of the writers just really don't pay attention to the prospects. Every national listing that I found (SoxProspects, MLB, FanGraphs, etc.) has Yophery outside the top 30 for the Sox. TalkSox having him at #16 shows a big flaw in our ranking system.
  9. Verdugo was a SSS mirage in 2020. That year was awful and we didn't have anything to be hopeful for. A guy like him was never going to be successful long term in Boston. That's why Cora was so frustrated with him all the time. He could have built a career for himself but threw it away instead.
  10. If you're looking for a DH, you cross your fingers and hope Casas gets healthy. That's a much better option than weak hitting Masa.
  11. Not sure I want Masa in the field for a long period of time. He has bad range, bad speed and a horrible arm. Eaton is closer to average across the board with elite sprint speed.
  12. I think we should be past the hype on Bleis. He hasn't put up 750 OPS since '22 in FCL. Having him or Cespedes ahead of Allan Castro doesn't make much sense to me anymore. Those two haven't shown anything. Castro keeps showing up, getting on base and moving up the ladder. The ceiling for Bleis may be higher, but it's been over 3 years of disappointment. Castro is only 9 months older than Bleis FWIW.
  13. Better option for what? Eaton is a bench player that fills in for late inning purposes or when a player needs a breather. Masa can't do that.
  14. Beautiful swing though! Can't wait to see all those grounders to the right side of the IF this summer. 🥰
  15. No guarantee for sure. He won't turn 20 until December and has a long way to go in his development.
  16. Playing an NPB team and using NPB balls. If only he was still doing that for a living.
  17. Justin Gonzales exit velo just now 117.3 🥵
  18. Halligan just killed Watson's ST ERA with that GS to Barger. I mean, the pitching stinks.
  19. He's only coming up because another poster puffed him up a few times.
  20. After having a 10% k rate last year, Franklin Arias now has a 100% k rate. 🥺
  21. You just gotta be aggressive in the top of the 1st in ST when runs are at a premium.
