    Even if they added a FA that is currently struggling, there'd be hope that his bat would turn around soon. Right now, the path forward is a little murky. They can do it, but it's still a low ceiling.

    Only PIT and SF have hit more GDP's.

    Abreu is a streaky guy. He and Contreras should still hit 20 HR. Hard to say about the rest of the team. Anthony showed some power last season, but has that crazy GB%. Mayer has natural loft, but is struggling with MLB pitching. Duran can get really hot and reach 20 HR. Rafaela hit 12 HR in a 40 game span last season. I think the team has put themselves in a huge hole (winning %), but the overall offensive numbers should bounce back.

    It's John Henry and a few of his yes men that get in the way like Sam Kennedy.

    Ryan Watson is NOT an MLB pitcher. If they are intentionally going for line drive swings, why do they have this sign up?

    The IKF pinch hit situation was more damning to Cora than to Duran IMO. IKF comes in and foul bunts with two strikes? Brutal! Might as well have Duran up there. I agree that Duran needs to be an everyday guy. He's not a guy that does well sitting on the bench. I think even DHing isn't the best fit for him TBH. His BB rate is 7.2% which isn't all that off from career norms. I don't know what Cora is talking about there. Is Cora just relying on the eye test and not looking at stats and metrics? Very weird.

    Yeah, he'd be better off just setting a budget and staying away.

    That was the worry going into the season. Threading that needle of winning games was going to be really tight. They feel like an AL Central team. Need a 20 game winning streak like the '25 Guards or something.

    If they aren't going to be in the playoffs this year, they need to decide which guys are sticking around long term and deal everyone else. Out of it at the deadline: Trade WC40 Trade/DFA Story Trade Masa Trade Gray Trade Chapman The need to do what they failed to do with the '22 team.

    Arias has 6 HR in April. That's as many as he had in 87 games at GRE last year. He has never had double digits in a season before.

    Arias: Law - 12 Pipeline - 26 BA - 50
  15. mvp 78
    Rumor is that he'll be a top 20 prospect nationally in the next rankings. Law had him at #12, but everyone else was much lower on him.
  16. mvp 78
    He's great. I can't complain about him. They just needed to add another real RHB and have everyone else not fall to pieces.
  17. mvp 78
    It can only get better right? They are on pace for a 58-104 season. Can't possibly be that bad!
  18. mvp 78
    Fans will be even more pissed at a rebuild since we just did one. "Another five years of this???" If you believe in Crochet, Roman, Tolle, Early, Abreu, Rafaela, that's enough pieces to add to for the Sox become a playoff contender if you do it right.

    Fenway is a tourist attraction. It would take years and years of a bad product for attendance to crater at this point.
  20. mvp 78
    Weissert with runners on is a bad idea. A mediocre bullpen has been run ragged by a rotation that doesn't go long.
  21. mvp 78
    You need KC and Romero to be OPSing in the 900's for the WOO numbers to matter.
  22. mvp 78
    None of those guys could give this team a boost.
  23. mvp 78
    Red Sox April 2022: 65 wRC+ (29th) -1 fWAR (29th) 12 HR (25th) 273 OBP (28th) 266 wOBA (28th) 0.27 BB/K (30th) 38% Pull (27th)

    1,000,000% They are stuck with Breslow for a few years or have to hire internally. The last interview process didn't go smoothly. This one would be even worse if Breslow is terminated before the start of the '28 season.
  25. mvp 78
    If that's the case, they are stuck with this crew until the end of the year.
