    Maybe they need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps... err stirrups.
  2. mvp 78
    Fangraphs is projecting the Sox to have 87 wins. 50% chance to make WC round. The predict the rotation to be 10th best in MLB.
  3. mvp 78
    I don't think Kyle Hart makes another spot start. Maybe if Charlie Zink is the only other option.
  4. mvp 78
    They may stick with a 5th day bullpen game as they tried to do last year.
  5. mvp 78
    Not sure Thad Ward is close enough. More realistic for him would be end of 2022.
  6. mvp 78
    And the addition of Ottavino, Andriese, Sawamura will lengthen this bullpen, especially if Houck is in the mix as well.
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, this greed is another hindrance to growing the sport. They have gotten too far away from common sense.
  8. mvp 78
    I think the 2019 team (which was virtually the same as the 2018 team) vastly underperformed.
  9. mvp 78
    Do you think the Sox will sign any of those pitchers?
  10. mvp 78
    I think we need to stop calling human beings "imports" like they are commodities.
  11. mvp 78
    And excluding fielding geniuses like Che-Hsuan Lin. He could really surprise some people in 2010!
  12. mvp 78
    Thanks to Daniel Nava, we should never forget unique paths to MLB.
  13. mvp 78
    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.
  14. mvp 78
    I think Houck should start in the pen this year.
  15. 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.
  17. mvp 78
    Lars, Bowden, Reddick, Bard, Tazawa, Hagadone, Casey Kelly, Almanzar, Westmoreland
  18. mvp 78
    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.
  19. mvp 78
    If Pivetta could be Hassler in the pen, they should move him there.
  20. mvp 78
    I'm into it.
  21. mvp 78
    @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...
  22. mvp 78
    Hassler seems to have had a much better pedigree than Pivetta does.
  23. mvp 78
    Isn't a fastball/splitter mix what Paplebon used to use?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
