I think the rollercoaster nature of rehab and stuff not being fully back (i.e. sucking) means the player isn't fully recovered. Also, if they are in the homestretch and trying to get into the playoffs, I don't want a guy coming off IBF and working on things pitching meaningful innings. He can do that in AAA on rehab for the rest of the season by using an option year if you really have to. -

Roster Resource lists Joey Ortiz at SS and Hamilton at 3B. MIL also has Cooper Pratt coming up to play on the left side of the IF at some point this year. They have a bunch of guys that they need to move around, so I'm not sure they know where everyone is going to play yet. Slotting Hamilton into 3b or even SS would be bad IMO.

Some of these guys may contribute eventually, but I think none of them are on the BOS roster before Memorial Day. It would be really great if Romero cut down the k rate, but I think we're through the looking glass on that one. Maybe one of Webb/Olds/Song can make a significant development leap this year.

I think his stuff really wasn't nasty 2-3 years ago. I think it's really heading in that direction now. He always had that good pitch mix and knew how to use it. Now, he's added velo and it just plays at a much higher level.
-
Should they have protected him the prior offseason in '24-'25? He was taken in the previous Rule 5 draft. He was injured, struggled, put through waivers and sent back to the Sox. If anyone really wanted him, they could have had him for free during the season. Why did they need to protect him a few months later?
-
Sox did add him to the 40 man!
-
MIL is also getting overly excited for the Shane Drohan experience. The guy has good stuff, but he has outsized injury issues that can't be swept under the rug.
-
I don't remember this one TBH.
-
Very dubious on Springer's outlook for '26. Varsho could be fine. No clue on Okamoto. Guys coming over from Japan tend to struggle the first season from what I remember.
-
Definitely unvaluable for sure.
-
Welcome to the correct side of the argument.
-
Personally, I do NOT feel that way right now. 😤

If you think that's spicy, you can't handle me at more worst/best.
-
If you look at his swing, maybe? I see it with the pull air %. I just am not super hopeful that a guy who hit 11 is going to hit 20 at Fenway. I'd be happy with 15. I said previously that it's more likely he starts racking up doubles than HRs and I'm ok with it. Jody Reed hit 129 2bs from '89-'91, why not Durbin?
-
If moon made that point yesterday, kudos.
-
The Jays were 11th in HRs last season. Sox only had 5 less than them. What did TOR do well? AVG - 1st K% - 1st (lowest) DEF - 1st

Red Sox 2025 Season Review/Offseason Preview Thread
mvp 78 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Feels like an Aaron Judge injury season to me. 🤔 World Series hangover for the Jays? 🧐 Red Sox division win? 😎 -
I'm much too spicy for most of you.
-
Caleb Durbin hit HRs more frequently for MIL in '25 than Lowe did for BOS in '25.
-
They want Hamilton on the left side of the IF.
-
No chance of him contributing in September.
-
I disagree with myself all the time. I said so in my post.
-
I can disagree with me all you want, I just tend to be correct when all is said an done. 🫠 Get on board early. That's my advice.
