    There's no rumor, just an article written by someone at Sports Illustrated, the place where 50% or more of the stuff is now AI generated. 🫡

    I wasn't saying YOU, I meant SoxProspects TBH. Some times that get out in front of their skis.

    He also didn't pitch all that great in his first AFL start. It's fun to get excited. You need to be reasonable sometimes though.

    Bye

    Schreiber for Sandlin

    Even Bello is almost a lock to not be ready for Opening Day TBH (only made it in '24). Crawford, Sandoval AND Dobbins are all coming back from injury. One of those guys will surely have a hiccup. They could sign a FA and still need Early as a 5th starter.
  7. mvp 78
    They weren't advocating him starting though!
  8. mvp 78
    Deal some of the Rule 5 guys or 40 man guys for prospects that could pop like Cam Booser for Yhoiker Fajardo.

    There's a difference between "dud" and "impact starter" and "reliever." There has always been a question of if he's a late inning relief guy. The SP guys have said this for years.

    Yes, that's my most boomer baseball opinion. I want my team to play smart baseball.

    The defensive lapses are very frustrating. It definitely makes me side eye the metrics sometimes. Jazz and Duran have great metrics, but I wouldn't want them together on my team TBH. They'd drive me crazy.
  12. mvp 78
    If he hadn't moved to 2b, his offensive numbers probably still would've tanked. It just made his OF splits look a lot better. 🫠 Our numbers are almost the same. I just nudged Rafaela up and Abreu and Duran down for different reasons. If Duran hadn't had his monster '24 season, may grade might be higher. IDK.
  13. mvp 78
    Either is fine, but I did enjoy Vlad Jr hating on the Yanks.

    The catching depth is pitiful. Johanfran Garcia was once promising, but is coming back from injury and there is worry that he won't stick behind the plate. Brooks Brannon played almost as many 1B/DH games as catcher last season. The other two top 60 prospects are Jorge Rodriguez (athletic FCL catcher) and Franklin Primera (DSL ASG MVP). None of these guys are close to helping. Years and years away most likely, even Johanfran.
  15. mvp 78
    Or not.
  16. mvp 78
    As an OFer, Rafaela had 4.6 fWAR (109 wRC+) and Duran had 3.9 fWAR (111 wRC+) so it'd really be hard for me to give them the same grade. Anthony A- Rafaela B+ Duran B- Abreu B- (could be higher, but lost time) Refsnyder B- Overall, this group was 2nd in MLB in fWAR. Hard to nitpick too much. Only negative fWAR guy was Masa's 6 G sample.
  17. mvp 78
    Wong was very lucky with the bat in '24 and unlucky in '25. He should go back to being a playable backup catcher next season as long as his defense looks like it did in '25.
  18. mvp 78
    Somebody won't be ready for Opening Day and Early will be the 5th starter.

    Just going with what FanGraphs has listed. 🫠
  21. mvp 78
    Hoskins still has a mutual option and wasn't listed on the FanGraphs tracker.
  22. mvp 78
    Godbout: 97-00 Nomar is the ceiling (SoxProspects should really go back to having prospect comps again, they were always delightfully unhinged). Seems like he was leading Arias down a Meidroth path but with better fielding TBH. I do agree that he's not a top 25 guy.
  23. mvp 78
    "Hey guys, it's the playoffs. When there's two outs, we're just running station to station. No reason to push it."
  24. mvp 78
    1.74 ERA in 4 starts. He got a longer leash in '25 and it wasn't surprising to see the ERA go way up. Just don't bring up my boy Early and his 2.33 ERA in 4 starts. His secondaries are more developed than Fitts. He shouldn't have a sub 3 in a full season unless his velo really spikes.
  25. mvp 78
    He's thrown less than 10 regular season innings above A ball. Who knows what he'll look like in the spring.
