    Yes, this greed is another hindrance to growing the sport. They have gotten too far away from common sense.
  2. mvp 78
    I think the 2019 team (which was virtually the same as the 2018 team) vastly underperformed.
  3. mvp 78
    Do you think the Sox will sign any of those pitchers?
  4. mvp 78
    I think we need to stop calling human beings "imports" like they are commodities.
  5. mvp 78
    And excluding fielding geniuses like Che-Hsuan Lin. He could really surprise some people in 2010!
  6. mvp 78
    Thanks to Daniel Nava, we should never forget unique paths to MLB.

    This is the annual thread where we all guess how many wins the Sox will have in the regular season. Let's all assume that 162 games will be played for this.
  8. mvp 78
    I think Houck should start in the pen this year.
  9. mvp 78
    There will always be independent leagues. Maybe even more now?

    Losing one affiliate doesn't materially affect the players you have in your organization. There may be an adjustment for a year or two, but it'll go unnoticed sooner than later.
  11. mvp 78
    Lars, Bowden, Reddick, Bard, Tazawa, Hagadone, Casey Kelly, Almanzar, Westmoreland

    Maybe Pivetta is even moved to the pen at the end of the year to make room for Mata/Seabold? A lot of scenarios we could run over.
  13. mvp 78
    If Pivetta could be Hassler in the pen, they should move him there.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm into it.

    @ChrisCotillo If you've ever thought spring training games are too long, you're in for a treat. * Games between 2/27-3/13 can be played as 5- or 7-inning games, as long as the managers agree. * Games on or after 3/14 will be scheduled as 9 innings but managers can agree to shorten to 7. No more Pedro Ciriaco Springs then...

    Hassler seems to have had a much better pedigree than Pivetta does.

    Isn't a fastball/splitter mix what Paplebon used to use?
  18. mvp 78
    @tylermilliken_ Hirokazu Sawamura is entering his age-33 season. He features a fastball that can reach 97 MPH along with a low-90s splitter that serves as his primary out pitch. His arsenal also includes a slider, but it’s not as effective as his two other pitches.
  19. mvp 78
    If he can throw 96-99 and compete for closer duties, it would really shore up the pen. @redsoxstats Best I can tell this says the medical was done and Hirokazu Sawamura is in formal agreement with the Red Sox. There are a billion Japanese tweets wishing him good luck with the Sox right now. Sawamura throws upper 90s with a 90+ mph split that grades out very well.
  20. mvp 78
    It's Munoz' versatility that is going to get him to the bigs before the other guys.
  21. mvp 78
    So you think Rosario and Wilson are closer to BOS since they are on the 40 man and Munoz is not?
  22. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Rosenthal in @TheAthletic writes that players "will have access to in-game video in a format that cannot be used to steal the catcher’s signs." Good news for JD?
  23. mvp 78
    Japanese papers are expecting Sawamura to sign very very soon.
  24. mvp 78
    EE thinks he has 2 years left. Too bad they still have JD on the roster.
  25. mvp 78
    Hassler had a 140 ERA+ for the Sox in 78. I can't say that's a stretch. It's not like Hassler was a scrub. He had some decent season, though most of it came out of the pen.
