    Jose Miranda: 3B "He didn’t post a strong 2019 statline (about .250/.300/.360 in the Florida State League) but we’re still on Miranda because of his ability to move the barrel all over the zone, and because he generates consistent doubles power despite being very short to the ball. It makes Miranda tough to beat within the strike zone. Instead, the way to deal with him is to hope he chases stuff out of the zone (and even then he often finds ways to make contact). There are some holes in the swing in the sense that Miranda can’t do damage with pitches all over the zone, but he rarely swings and misses. We’ve shaded his FV down from last year’s 45 because we now think he ends up playing more third base than second in the long run, but we still really like Miranda’s bat control and quality of contact."

    Akil Baddoo: CF "Baddoo has some promising physical ingredients — speed, raw power — seasoned by high walk rates. He missed most of 2019 because he needed Tommy John in mid-May. He lacks deft barrel accuracy, but Baddoo has run well above-average walk rates to this point and he may be able to get to most of his power by hunting the right pitches, even if his swing’s a little grooved. He’s tracking like a power/OBP fourth outfielder or platoon guy."

    These winter meetings have been quite the humdinger!

    And without us, this board would turn into freeforums.net or bosoxboard.com or something worse.

    I don't know what I could possibly be doing that could provide more value to society than posting on here?

    We had a discussion about him being better on one leg than Arroyo a few weeks ago. He’s included as “already on roster.”

    It’s why Pedroia’s leg died on the vine too.

    @jcmccaffrey Red Sox statement: "The Red Sox and the City of Lowell today announce that they are working to keep baseball in the Lowell community. The two sides are in the early stages of evaluating various opportunities for the 2021 season, and will continue to discuss longer-term options" AKA, trying to get some sort of amateur wood bat league team for Lowell that is not affiliated with the Sox.

    @SmittyOnMLB Worcester, Portland, Greenville and Salem will remain affiliates, per BA's report. It also is reporting Greenville is High A and Salem is Low A now No more Spinners for now.

    I believe the hit against the lux tax is only 8.3M for Odor. I don't care about the cash.
  15. mvp 78
    I agree that I'd leave Verdugo in RF, sign a glove first CF and get a one year deal at 2b unless they are going long term for Wong or Kim.
  16. mvp 78
    Lance Lynn for one year doesn't help the Sox if they are on the outside looking in.

    The real Valdez has a 27.00 ERA?
  18. mvp 78
    He was fine as a reliever last year (3.51 xfip). They never should have tried him out in the starting role (5.15 xfip).
  19. mvp 78
    Valdez got hit hard by the Jays in back to back appearances. Get rid of those (aberrations?) and his numbers look better.
  20. mvp 78
    Odor's contract isn't that bad, but if he can only play 2b, his lack of versatility in the field doesn't make it worth the risk. I'm not sure a one year deal for any trade makes sense to this year's team. They aren't quite contenders.
  21. mvp 78
    If they are making him a backup, I'd rather just waive him.
  22. mvp 78
    I'd DFA Chatham and Wilson before Mazza, Brewer and Valdez.
  23. mvp 78
    I'd keep Mazza and Brewer around, though they could sneak probably through waivers. I don't think Valdez sneaks through though.
  24. mvp 78
    They could barely deal with the Whomping Willow. How are they going to deal with some Velociraptors?
  25. mvp 78
    I would have pushed a lot of them out. If you don't really see a future for a guy on your team, better to cut him now to give him an opportunity to see if he sticks on somewhere else. If they are still looking for a seat during Spring Training, you could bring them back again if you wanted.
