  1. Keep Dalbec, sign a FA.
  2. 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.”
  3. @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."
  4. @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.’
  5. @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
  6. Ban batting gloves, mandate pine tar (offensively and defensively).
  7. I agree 100%. It's the simplest way to speed up the game.
  8. @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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Should be 7 inning games for scheduled double headers. That's how they do it in MiLB.
  13. Owners played down the amount of tv revenues they earned in 2020. They will do so again.
  14. Video of ERod throwing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3WCX9FvPg/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
  15. Expectation is little to no fans until the summer when more paying customers have been vaccinated.
  16. 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.
  17. Oh sure, it's HIS fault he got stabbed in the ribs with a pen knife when in Mexico. Nice job victim blaming.
  18. I'd sign Sugano too.
  19. TBF, Charboneau had a lot of back issues and wasn't the type of guy to take care of himself (except for combining whisky and pliers when he wanted to do at home surgery). He wasn't long for the baseball world.
  20. I prefer Cookies N Kim.
  21. Makes no sense to platoon Chavis since he's actually worse at hitting lefties.
  22. Devers gets another shot at 3b under Cora. He was decent there in 2019. I think this weird year really messed up his defense. He's athletic enough to be an above average 3b. If he throws the ball all over the place again this year, he gets moved to 1b/LF.
  23. My problem with ZIPS is that it seems very light on his power potential. Dalbec has such easy power that if he's making contact, his slugging and ISO should be higher than what they forecast.
  24. If they re-sign Moreland, it's to platoon with Dalbec. Not sure they need to platoon Dalbec, but that's what it would be for.
  25. He's been pretty vocal about PED users. He said his "career was stepped on" because of them. However, he would allow Bonds and Clemens in the HOF. He's always been a big boy, but a cloud of suspicion lies over that entire generation of players 86-06.
