  1. 3 team trades don't happen all that often. I think Vaz is on this roster until his contract ends, if not longer.
  2. Maybe that's why you bring in a more versatile guy like Miller? I still would like Moreland on the bench as a backup LHB and mentor to Dalbec.
  3. I think you try to see if he can be a fulltime guy this year. I'd give him a long leash. I know Casas is waiting in the wings, but a productive Dalbec can probably be moved over to 3b or even to a corner OF spot.
  4. I'm not sold on Marisnik, but I like Miller.
  5. I would not be surprised to see Taylor in WOO at the start of the season. His stuff was greatly diminished last season (likely due to COVID) so he really needs to earn his spot. It's not like his repertoire is amazing, just a run of the mill below average FB/above average Slider. He's basically a left handed Walden.
  6. So that's where Joey Votto 2.0 showed up...
  7. Well, I should hope that a guy who goes 3 innings can also pitch a partial inning. Is the 3 batter rule still in effect?
  8. If they get a glove first CFer, it may make sense to get a bigger bat at 2b than Arroyo. I'm not sure you really want to have 2 black holes in the lineup.
  9. Keep Dalbec, sign a FA.
  10. BOH: @redsoxstats “The door is definitely not closed on adding to the outfield mix and that could certainly be a traditional CF that has experience, like a guy like Jackie Bradley. We’ve said Jackie remains on our radar and definitely nothing is foreclosed there.”
  11. @alexspeier Cora says that health issues do Josh Taylor and Darwinzon Hernandez left ‘a big gap’ in the Red Sox bullpen last year. If both are back to health, he feels good about the shape of the bullpen, even as Team continues to explore upgrades. ‘There’s versatility in our bullpen.’ I think "versatility" is code for "we have zero idea where to slot each guy."
  12. @alexspeier Re: Second base, Cora says Christian Arroyo ‘has a lot of upside’ and that Chavis is an option, but he also acknowledges: ‘This puzzle isn’t completed.’
  13. @SoxProspects Per the latest BA minor league transactions, the Red Sox have signed RHP Jose Disla. Formerly of the Rays system, will be 25 next year. Spent most of 2019 on IL, was good in LoA in 2018 while old for the level. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=640017
  14. Ban batting gloves, mandate pine tar (offensively and defensively).
  15. I agree 100%. It's the simplest way to speed up the game.
  16. @redsoxstats Joel Sherman on MLBN: Renfroe is just the beginning. Executives around the league keep saying watch the Red Sox. Chance to be a top 5 offense and they are in on pitching, in on Odorizzi, in on bullpen.
  17. I don't believe the parade of relievers is the problem. The overall pace of the game with pitchers taking 45 seconds to throw a pitch is a much bigger issue IMO.
  18. Also, That's what happens when more and more people aren't forced to go into an office 5 days a week. Also, all the medical advice has been "go outdoors" so the obvious solution is to do something outside like golfing since you can no longer do a lot of things that were part of your normal routine.
  19. I think length and pace of game turns people off now more than ever. Baseball is a leisurely sport and life runs at a 24/7 pace now. It just seems like an anachronism some times.
  20. Should be 7 inning games for scheduled double headers. That's how they do it in MiLB.
  21. Owners played down the amount of tv revenues they earned in 2020. They will do so again.
  22. Video of ERod throwing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3WCX9FvPg/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
  23. Expectation is little to no fans until the summer when more paying customers have been vaccinated.
  24. They already forced a season without vaccinations. Doesn't make sense to hold out for them now. It just makes 2020 look like even more of a fool's errand.
  25. Oh sure, it's HIS fault he got stabbed in the ribs with a pen knife when in Mexico. Nice job victim blaming.
