  1. God Bless America?
  2. @SmittyOnMLB Boston Red Sox place catcher Kevin Plawecki on the COVID-19 related IL, which doesn’t require positive test
  3. Bloom is killing BTV this offseason with his trades.
  4. @BaseballValues The #Rays acquisition of RHP Chris Mazza ($0.2M trade value), LHP Jeffrey Springs ($0.0M) and cash ($0.1M) from the #RedSox in exchange for C Ronaldo Hernandez ($13.8M) and IF Nick Sogard ($0.1M) is rejected by our model as an overpay by Tampa Bay.
  5. I don't follow the NL as much. Hard to say how good the Nats really are. They didn't look like a good team last year. Very top heavy.
  6. I was inferring that Hernandez would be the Sox' best C prospect. The Rays have other C's that are better than Hernandez.
  7. Trading Mazza and Springs for the org's best C prospect seems like a coup to me.
  8. They'll be better than Tampa and Cleveland. I think the 47% is indicative of expanded playoffs, rather than the strength of the ballclub.
  9. People say that all the time. It's fool's gold IMO.
  10. @IanCundall Hernandez will be inside the top 20 when he makes his debut in the @SoxProspects rankings. Wong is #21 currently.
  11. Hernandez was a highly ranked prospect at one point, but both his hitting and fielding took a step back in 2019. He was on their taxi squad last year, so maybe there could be something there. Rays fans are talking themselves into the deal because they like Springs k/9 and Hernandez was on the 40 man but probably not close enough to MLB to be called up anytime soon. So Hernandez will have to be put on the Sox 40 man, right?
  12. @mlbtraderumors Cubs Nearing Deal With Brandon Workman
  13. @adamdberry Source confirms this Rays-Red Sox trade is in the works. Other prospect going to Boston will be Nick Sogard, the Rays’ 12th-round pick in 2019.
  14. Our family is split between MA and FL, so transitioning was pretty easy. Plus, my wife and kids HATED the winter. Because of the pandemic, we haven't been back North since we moved. There really isn't much that I miss about New England at the moment.
  15. Also, Catcher is a big weakness in the organization. If you can spin off guys like Springs and Mazza for a lottery ticket at C, I'm all for it.
  16. There's also this rumor: @ChrisCotillo Source: Red Sox have some interest in reliever Ben Heller, who the Yankees released last week. 29-year-old has had injury issues but has been good (1.48 ERA in 24.1 IP since 2017) while healthy. Should be popular on FA market. Red Sox still looking at bullpen options.
  17. He's like Mr Miyagi trimming his bonsai trees.
  18. After my snowblower died on me in 2019, it was the last straw. New England winters aren't worth it. Spring kinda sucks. The only good time of the year was June - October. It is wild having kids baseball start right after Xmas though.
  19. @alexspeier Both Mazza (RHP) and Springs (LHP) were recently cleared off the 40-man roster by the Red Sox to open spots for recently signed players. Hernandez, a 23-year-old, spent 2019 in High-A, hitting .265/.299/.397 with 9 homers in 103 games.
  20. @alexspeier Red Sox and Rays are close to swinging a trade that would send Jeffrey Springs and Chris Mazza to Tampa Bay for C Ronaldo Hernandez and another prospect.
  21. My pool was 86 this weekend.
  22. https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Standings Yankees: 96 wins Jays: 89 wins Sox: 87 wins Rays: 83 wins O's: 67 wins
  23. Yanks: 93 - 69 Jays: 87 - 75 Sox: 85 - 77 Rays: 80 - 82 O's: 49 - 113 (47 - 115 is their franchise worst season) It'd be really dope if the O's were so bad that they were worse than the 2003 Tigers that went 43 - 119 (the worst MLB season since the 62 Mets).
  24. Hmmmmm, I wonder why jacko prefers PECOTA to the Fangraphs projection....
  25. Dyson isn’t really capable in CF anymore.
