    @ChrisCotillo Red Sox have revamped spring training to put a greater emphasis on defense. Cora's making that a major priority after believing the team "sucked" defensively in 2019, 2020.

    Could they REALLY flip him midseason? There aren't people lining up for him now.
  3. mvp 78
    And if they had selected Hunter Renfroe with that pick, they'd still be taking heat for it anyway.

    @jcmccaffrey Rodriguez says he'll throw another bullpen tomorrow. Isn't worried about fatigue on the mound now, but admits how hard it was last summer when he tried to come back before being shut down. Couldn't throw 25 pitches without getting winded. Says that's not the case at all anymore I'm hopeful that ERod can get back to normal. No matter what, I'm just glad he's beyond the effects he had last year.

    Scouts have their work cut out for them, that's for sure.

    TBH, I thought Damon was more likely to get popped for BUI due to his boating lifestyle.
  7. mvp 78
    Yup, COVID and a lack of activity got me to my heaviest weight ever. I'm back down to a more normal size now though.
  8. mvp 78
    I agree. JBJ would be everyday CFer. They could figure out 2B with Arroyo/Arauz/Chavis/Downs/other. I still don't quite know what the plan will be with the OF and 2B.

    @ChrisCotillo Rodriguez said he felt fatigue last year when he was diagnosed with myocarditis... but right now, he feels great. No more lingering effects of COVID.

    I know it's not a given. If he has two 90 WRC+ seasons, it will be an overpay. Bloom certainly thinks he's worth that amount.
  11. mvp 78
    Kiké definitely needs to contribute in a substantial way to earn that contract. His WRC+ needs to be at 100 or better. Otherwise, it just seems like a waste of money.

    @wbzsports Former Red Sox Outfielder Johnny Damon Arrested In Florida On Charges Of DUI, Resisting Officer Without Violence Seems like someone else knows how to get tanked.
  13. mvp 78
    That having your two best starting pitchers out is not ideal?
  14. mvp 78
    I'm not expecting much from the Royals or Phillies guys, but they too may have a realistic shot of being better for the Sox than Franchy. Franchy's floor is pulls hammy in ST and never plays again. His injury risk is that high. I hope Franchy is a shooting star who puts up amazing numbers for one year and the Sox deal him next offseason.
  15. mvp 78
    It was the perfect storm of a year to tank. No fans. Short season. Need to get under the cap. Still had a title in recent memory.
  16. mvp 78
    If it was a 162 game season, they would have been a 4th place team rather than a last place team.
  17. mvp 78
    The bonafides are 04, 07, 13 and 18.
  18. mvp 78
    I didn't say they needed more attention. However, on how the deal was made, the PTBNL from the Mets should be a decent value since the sent Lee for him and Wickowski. It will be interesting to see who that guy is. Cordero has all the talent in the world, plus a high k rate and an extensive injury history. There's a good chance we get more out of the PTBNLs than out of Cordero.
  19. mvp 78
    He's basically a lottery ticket that will just disintegrate if it's too humid. I'm waiting to see the PTBNLs. I also didn't include Marwin because he doesn't move the needle for me.

    @OverTheMonster College baseball starts up today, which is of extra interest to Red Sox fans this year with a top five pick. Some players to watch: Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter at Vandy, Jud Fabian at Florida, Adrian Del Castillo at Miami, Jaden Hill at LSU, Matt McLain at UCLA.
  21. mvp 78
    I think they've made some good acquisitions this offseason: Sawamura (might not work out, but is cheap) Richards Perez (not a high ceiling but is a professional pitcher) Kiké Renfroe (if used as a platoon) Andriese (unspectacular but should shore up the bullpen) Ottavino (could be the best pen arm they have)
  22. mvp 78
    That sounds about right. I think the Yankees will be in the mid 90's and the Sox will be in the mid 80's. It seems like the most likely outcome.
  23. mvp 78
    Ok, but why weren’t you saying this about JBJ last year?
  24. mvp 78
    And maybe he could break in Duran and provide some good tips.

    Hippocrates was Coco’s Disciples!
