    Just an old sweet song keeps Pedroia on my mind.

    The cursed Philly bullpen got to him by transitive property. Force the Phillies to forfeit their season so that it doesn't spread further.
  3. mvp 78
    He wasn't DFA'd though.

    Carl Pavano did end up with a higher fWAR than Buchholz. Could also be just the law of averages with the 80's giving us Clemens and Schilling, while we just missed the jackpot since. HOF* starters don't wind up in your lap all that often.

    @BillKoch25 Per @JoshMaurerRadio and @TheRadioMike , several players from the alternate site are with the #RedSox taxi squad on their current road trip. Dylan Covey, Domingo Tapia, Tanner Houck, Cesar Puello all among them. @redsoxstats Wonder if Houck could start on regular rest Saturday.

    Anderson was on track to the bigs through his second season in 2008, but after 2009 it was a freefall. He probably shouldn't have even appeared for the Sox in 2010. If 2009 continued to show improvement, he could have debuted then (it took an extra year because of his decreased production). That would be equivalent to 2021 for a Casas timeline, which makes sense to me. I bet he starts 2021 in AA and he could get promoted quickly if he hits like Beni or Devers did in AA.

    @PeteAbe #RedSox returned catcher Deivy Grullón to the taxi squad after he was the extra player in Tuesday’s doubleheader. Backup catcher Kevin Plawecki, who didn’t play Tuesday because of a bruised hand, is expected to be available on Thursday.

    Do any of the current guys have a shot at reversing the bad luck? Mata seems like he could be pretty good. Probably the best bet to stick in the rotation. Groome is what he is, but a LHP that has his stuff can stick around for a while as long as he's durable. (Wade Miley comp is similar to Buchholz's career fWAR) Song could be the best pitcher in the system, but we don't know what he'll look like after his service time. Ward has good numbers in the minors, but will he get lit up once he advances? Potential bullpen arm based on his stuff.

    Which Willie? Calhoun, McGee, Harris, Wilson?
  10. mvp 78
    Cliff!
  11. mvp 78
    Right now, he's at least an upgrade over Chavis who doesn't walk and is worse in the field.
  12. mvp 78
    He's better than Walden. He's better than Leyer. He's better than Springs. He's better than Kickham. He's better than Triggs.
  13. mvp 78
    Sox should tank against the O's and sweep the Yanks.
  14. mvp 78
    If you want to start a thread on the announcers, go for it. We haven't done one of those in a while.
  15. mvp 78
    Maybe I've just been unlucky and have seen most of his starts in OF. I was surprised that the number of games wasn't higher.
  16. mvp 78
    Starting pitching has been this team's bugaboo for a long time. Since the late 80's anyway.
  17. mvp 78
    That 3.54 FIP would look good in this pen right now.
  18. mvp 78
    It was Chavis' first professional game in the OF. He has practiced there from time to time, but never made an appearance.
  19. mvp 78
    https://www.fangraphs.com/players/tzu-wei-lin/14678/stats?position=2B/SS#fielding Last year in AAA, Lin was basically 50% OF, 50% IF.
  20. mvp 78
    Lin has played OF for the Sox previously. It's not even his first OF appearance this year.
  21. mvp 78
    IDK, if you have a guy as soft as tissue paper, it doesn't make sense to bring him back from injury this year. Maybe you only have him pitch 2-3 innings per appearance?
  22. mvp 78
    Lester? edit: Mike Port was GM, David Chadd was Director of Scouting Theo was in the org, but unsure of how much he was doing during 2002.
  23. mvp 78
    The only deal I'd do over is the Kinsler one.
  24. mvp 78
    I don't think the coaching was lacking. There's nothing about his first few days that weren't evident in the minors. He has easy power. He strikes out a lot. That hasn't changed.
  25. mvp 78
    Eck groaned like that was gone.
