  1. Why would they put a GG RFer at 1B? Duran is one of the fastest players in MLB. Putting him at 1B is certainly a choice. He was moved to the OF for a reason.
  2. Perales and Neely are both in the AFL right now. No major updates on the other injuries (Paez, Monegro, Valera, Cason, etc.). Paez and Valera were both throwing in Ft Myers. Monegro and Cason had TJS and will be out for a while.
  3. With how he hit for the Sox, he didn't need to show up on time.
  4. I'm less concerned about Rafaela's k % and his overall approach of being a bad ball hitter. He only had 3.61 pitches per PA. His looking k % was 16.5% (league av is 25). His swung at strikes % was 83.5 (league av is 75). Percentage of pitches swung at was 58.9% (av is 48). First pitch swing was 48.9% (av is 32.7). Out of zone swing % is 45!!! He's an outlier in all of these categories.
  5. I don't know how much his bat will ever develop because of that hit tool. He just needs to swing. It's in his DNA. It will hold him back. I doubt the Sox would trade him because the value his glove brings vs his overall contract. I also don't want Campbell or Garcia put in the position to be an Opening Day starter in the OF. Going from a surplus to a deficit seems bad IMO.
  6. Okamoto could probably be the starter at 3b if they needed him to be. That's who I've preferred the past few weeks.
  7. I still wouldn't want him for 8 years with his risk TBH. His floor is very low due to the k rate (bad Joey Gallo).
  8. Non-tender Houck? If Houck was a FA, he's exactly the type of guy the Sox would sign and stash for a year (Sandoval, Big Maple, Hendriks, etc.).
  9. Long term deal since he's mid 20's.
  10. If Suarez is a 1b, his value goes down to well below 20M AAV. At his age, why would he get 3 years with those high AAV's? Walker got 3/60 last year, but he's gold glove caliber defensively at 1b with 120 OPS+.
  11. The hope was that he was going to improve on his 2023 season, not "be better than 2024." His last season was nothing to be all that proud of.
  12. If he's the #2, the Sox are in BIG trouble most likely.
  13. That Murakami number is ridiculous.
  14. He was fine in '22 and '23.
  15. Yeah, but where's the upgrade the offense needs?
  16. I believe it's enticing for pitchers to go to SEA. Is it for hitters?
  17. He's definitely got big table money. I'm still using the table that came with my first house.
  18. And Murakami is also LHB. Get me the RHB and you can still keep Masa at DH for now.
  19. No, that would be our Yankees buddy who has been banned a billion times and comes back under a new pseudonym.
  20. It's next to impossible to factor in those things on here.
  21. Is he smoking up with Henry before gaming and streaming the whole time like a true gamer though?
