  1. Steamer has him at .234 and that's the high-water mark of projections. He only hit .234 in 439 games in AA in 2019.
  2. Sometimes the arb costs exceeds the players fair market value. The Red Sox don't have to worry about messing with player time.
  3. AAA season doesn't start until May. Hard to see his development getting that much better in April if he's not facing hitters.
  4. The clock only matters based on the size of the contract. Why mess around with guys who can provide value but will never become too expensive to keep?
  5. If they need an additional starter, they'll use Andriese. The first guy up in an emergency situation would probably be Gossett. They also may just go with bullpen days as they have in the past.
  6. There's a non zero chance that Dalbec is hitting .200 in July. If that happens, Casas will have every opportunity to come up, especially if the Sox are competing.
  7. 6 of one, half a dozen the other.
  8. Houck's clock doesn't matter as he really isn't in the upper echelon of talent.
  9. Pivetta goes to the pen, Brice is DFA'd.
  10. I think Downs, Casas and Duran could all force their way onto this roster. Is it likely to happen? Probably not. I think at least one of those guys mashes and winds up being a starter after the ASB. Cordero and Renfroe would be a good platoon in theory. We'll just have to see if Cordero can stay healthy. Also, who would the other OFer be aside from Verdugo? Marwin? Kiké? They have pushed Chavis into a IF only role. This team isn't set up for Cordero and Renfroe to be strictly platoon.
  11. If he hits 250, I'll be surprised. Like I've said before, I enjoy the Dalbec experience and will look forward to 45 HR's and 225 K's. His OBP will be ok, but his batting average will be closer to Mendoza than many old school fans would like.
  12. He still needs to work on his secondary stuff if he wants to be a starter. Obviously, there is more value to him starting and they need to do whatever they can to get there. He's most likely just going to the pen at some point though.
  13. They put him in the 9 hole yesterday. If he's there hitting 225 and 35+ bombs, I don't think we can complain. I'm not sure he's a long term option and do hope that Casas forces their hand at AA this season.
  14. Smarter than people on here who said he was foolish not to take the Sox’s offer.
  15. @jcmccaffrey Eduardo Rodriguez today: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K In three spring starts: 11.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 14 K
  16. Dalbec with another slam.
  17. Chapman: "No, I said IN THE GARAGE, not in front of the team again you silly goose!" The rest of the team: "I understand that German shot that girl at a charity gala, but everyone is deserving of third and fourth chances and he's been pitching really well for us. We can tell you that he's on the thinnest of thin ice!"
  18. AAA season doesn't start until May. If you want him to keep hitting, he needs to be in BOS not WOO.
  19. John Henry could have kept riding his bicycle as long as he wanted. He chose to ghost ride it. It was a choice. It was always a choice. They could have kept Mookie and reset later on.
  20. @jcmccaffrey Bogaerts’ first game at short. This could be your opening day lineup: Red Sox vs Twins: Hernández 2B, Verdugo CF, Martinez DH, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Renfroe RF, Gonzalez LF, Vázquez C, Dalbec 1B, Rodriguez P
  21. It was a fake cliff though.
  22. That has always been the case. It's why he's been tagged as a bullpen arm in most projections.
  23. This didn’t need its own thread.
  24. I plugged the phone in where the blender used to be. My wife tried to call 911. She went "Aaaaahhhh..."
