    @PeteAbe Garrett Richards working at a good tempo, pumping strikes. 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 60/30. Acuna got him but otherwise really sold. Two good outings in a row for Richards. Positive development for the rotation.
  2. mvp 78
    It's pretty telling that the Sox have intentionally kept him away from OF this ST.
  3. mvp 78
    Dreaming about that sweet QO pick!
  4. mvp 78
    If Pivetta can pitch like 2018, he's ahead of Perez. Otherwise, he's back of the pack IMO.
  5. mvp 78
    Training wheels better be off in 2023.
  6. mvp 78
    Has Kiké played any CF this ST? Everytime I turn it on, Verdugo is there.
  7. mvp 78
    Should have just got someone cheap on a 1 year deal. Duran or Cordero could have pushed that guy to the waiver wire. I don't understand that move.
  8. mvp 78
    I have no confidence in Pivetta. Houck has the highest ceiling of the bunch, but I think is most likely to just be a bullpen arm at some point. I think Seabold could be a solid #4 in the rotation, but I don't think he'd ever peak much higher than that (probably has the highest floor of those 3 guys).
  9. mvp 78
    Verdugo has a great bat, but he's just not a prototypical CFer. He doesn't look great out there. Should have left him in RF.
  10. mvp 78
    What's your definition of "good offensively?" Also, moon did say "IF" Cordero comes through. He has the skillset to be an above average outfielder, he just hasn't stayed healthy. Verdugo should be one of the best OFers in the league as he was last year. Renfroe is just a platoon guy. That's about it. The team is really missing that 4th OFer that would be the everyday CFer while Verdugo is in RF and Cordero/Renfroe share LF.
  11. mvp 78
    I just want Chaim to take the best available. If that's a HS SS, so be it.

    So the only people they could trade for is Cabrera or Davis per your post. May as well just waive JD if he's that bad. If he truly is a negative WAR player going forward, may as well call up Ockimey/Chavis/Gettys/whoever. Or is he decidedly better than the argument you made that he could be only traded for the two worst contracts in baseball? Would you trade him for Votto? Stanton? Heyward? McCutchen? Price? I'd say he could have more value than that. Maybe he still has enough perceived value that you could deal him for some salary relief?
  13. mvp 78
    Your brain worms mentioned Chris Davis, not me.
  14. mvp 78
    He's paid $17M annually. Would the Sox pick up his deferred money after he retires?
  15. mvp 78
    Seeing that we are now in the Kiké era, what does everyone think of it? I haven't seen much out of him defensively, but he seems to handle that bat pretty well and is a fun player to watch.
  16. mvp 78
    If he's hitting like Chris Davis, may as well trade for him since he's a cheaper option. Per BTV: JD Martinez and Chavis would be a slight overpay for Davis, Mountcastle and Kremer. I think BTV really struggles with the deals regarding "negative value" players though.
  17. mvp 78
    If they are well under .500 by Memorial Day, they are going to trade anything not nailed down.
  18. mvp 78
    Someone else hinted that the pen would be their weak spot. I agree with you that the rotation could be their downfall (can't really rely on guys with lengthy injury history to stay healthy).
  19. mvp 78
    Could they trade him and pay 2/3rd's of his 2021 salary? Would anyone even want him since he has a player option for 2022?
  20. mvp 78
    I'm not worked up about spring training. I'm just saying that if he continues to massively struggle the first few months of the season, do the Sox end up making a change at some point? If so, when?
  21. mvp 78
    @SoxProspects Today's pitchers out before today's lineup. Richards to be followed by Brewer, Valdez, McCarthy and Walden @SPChrisHatfield Two things stand out with this group: 1) Brewer and Valdez probably fighting for last bullpen spot, and 2) McCarthy maybe throws twice more before Sunday, when his upward mobility clause kicks in. To explain the McCarthy (& Herrmann) thing again: On Sunday, Red Sox have to offer them to every team. If a team wants to put one on their 40-man roster, Red Sox either need to do so themselves or let them go.

    @byJulianMack Today’s Red Sox Lineup vs Braves: K. Hernández 2B, Verdugo CF, Martinez LF, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Gonzalez 1B, Vázquez C, Dalbec DH, Gettys RF, Richards RHP
  23. mvp 78
    If the weakest part of the team is an average pen, this team should be pretty good.
  24. mvp 78
    Whoever is hitting the best in AAA. If he's going to be a .200 hitter going forward, what's the point in having him around?
  25. mvp 78
