    And the OF includes Alex Verdugo and a guy who has 25+ bombs each of the previous 3 full seasons. Sure, this OF could use Darren Lewis right now, but it's a stretch of a comparison.

    Sometimes your bat just goes flying into the crowd when you're swinging for the fences. Gotta choke up on that bat moom!

    I just need to get his off my chest: The new Worcester hats and mascot suck. Both are just horrible. With all of the cool and interesting MiLB logos and mascots, why'd we get stuck with this garbage?

    POSTER 1: It was exciting having Pedro in 1998. He made up for that subpar OF. The 2020 staff will not compensate for this OF. POSTER 2: The 1998 Red Sox were 70-59 (.542) in games not started by Pedro. POSTER 3: Those games were so boring. Shame for not making the sarcasm more obvious!

    Jeter's oppo shot if you missed it: https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1366429888429903879

    He can have the smallest slice of the blame pie.

    Also, Mo Vaughn was really great. It's easy to forget how great he actually was since he declined substantially after leaving the Sox. Buford, Stanley, Cummings and Leyritz all had OPS+ above 100. Sox as a whole were: 8th in HR 3rd in RBI 2nd in SLG 5th in OBP 18th in offensive LOB 4th in ERA+ 26th in CG (heavy reliance on bullpen) Was it really bringing in Rich Garces and Jim Corsi that made the games boring? This team hit well, had some stars (Pedro, Nomar, Mo) and didn't give up a lot of runs. Maybe they were just so good they were boring? IDK.

    The era of Wakefield and Saberhagen was pretty decent. Maybe it was "boring" but that team was better than you'd expect from just looking at the names. Reggie Jefferson and John Valentin will always be perpetually underrated on here.

    Lineup today vs. ATL: Arroyo SS, Gonzalez 2B, Martinez LF, Dalbec 3B, Chavis 1B, Muñoz DH, Puello RF, Rosario CF, Bandy C, Richards P

    Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki returned to the field today after previously being on the COVID-19 injured list, per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe (via Twitter). If healthy, Plawecki should have the inside track on backing up Christian Vasquez for the Red Sox this season. A former first round pick of the Mets, Plawecki appeared in 24 games and slashed .341/.393/.463 across 89 plate appearances during his first season with Boston in 2020. And that's it for today's COVID update.

    New Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero tested positive for the virus and remains in the Dominican Republic, per Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. Cordero was placed on the COVID-19 injured list last week, although it wasn’t known at the time whether that was due to a positive test or mere exposure. The hope is that Cordero will be able to join camp by the middle of next week, per Speier.

    Fine with me.

    An idea that was offhandedly floated at the beginning of the offseason. Idea is that starters would be out of whack from last year. However, you rightly point out they probably don’t have the staff to do it.

    TODAY: Red Sox at Twins: Hernández SS, Duran CF, Renfroe RF, Devers 3B, Vázquez C, Dalbec 1B, Arroyo 2B, Chavis DH, Gettys LF, Eovaldi RHP

    He grew up a Sox fan, so that’s cool.

    Sunday is fine with me. A700, I can do 7pm that Saturday.
  17. mvp 78
    I can’t do a Saturday AM draft, it’s during little league. I could do anytime late afternoon or after. Could maybe do 1 or 2 pm.

    No Northeastern or BC game this year? How will we know if this team will be good enough to beat up on mediocre college teams

    Sawamura update: @PeteAbe Hirokazu Sawamura yet to make an appearance at #RedSox camp. Cora said it should be less than a week and that he's on a throwing program where he is.

    Built like a cement mixer filled with ice cream and two flat tires.

    @redsoxstats Vazquez down 15 pounds, Dalbec down 10, Raffy and JDM slimmed down. @MarlyRiveraESPN was on the Baseball Tonight podcast today talking about how it stuck out to her how good the Red Sox fitness level was. That time of year again, folks.
  22. mvp 78
    We could be in for a very wild rollercoaster of a ride for this season with Dalbec. Dude could mash and be on the All Star team. A more extreme version of the Chris Davis MLB experience?
  23. mvp 78
    This is a guy who OPS'd well over 900 last season at age 25. We can only expect him to be at or better than that as he enters his prime 27-31. I haven't been wrong in my projections of similar players like Devers over the past 5 years! -jacko's Red Sox fan loving cousin

    @PeteAbe Nick Yorke, the first-round pick in June, is in camp. Was in HS at this time last year.

    Yeah, I typically don't believe in the term "low risk/high reward" but this might be one of the rare cases.
