  1. I preferred Marrero to Holt, but I don't think it will substantially affect the team. Both guys are replaceable. It's fun to talk about the 25th man on the roster, but those guys don't usually win you a pennant.
  2. I'd rather have Betts than Harper.
  3. Already making excuses.
  4. @EvanDrellich Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright suspended 15 games for domestic violence policy violation, NBC Sports Boston has learned I'm sure Jacko will make a post about this sooner than later.
  5. @EvanDrellich Red Sox minor league catcher Oscar Hernandez, on Triple-A Pawtucket’s roster, suspended 50 games for second violation of drug of abuse. Sox minor league catchers can't stop juicing.
  6. @SoxProspects Sixth home run of #SoxSpring for Travis, who is tied for the MAJOR LEAGUE lead in dingers during spring training. #SoxProspects His ground ball to fly ball ratio is still not that hot tho.
  7. It was extremely original too!
  8. @ByChrisMason Drew Pomeranz faced 9 batters in a controlled minor league game. 3 hits, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. Threw 48 pitches, 27 strikes. Was feeling good physically afterwards. @ByChrisMason Pomeranz: "That's the first game I've been in in a long time. So that's honestly about the best I could have hoped for. I felt good... I threw 3 today, I'd imagine I'll push toward 4 next time and onward and upwards."
  9. @PeteAbe Brian Johnson through 3 IP: 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K. Ended the third by getting Judge on a double-play ball into a shift. If Johnson can pitch well enough, he has a chance to stick around in the rotation for a while!
  10. Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Yankee fans.
  11. SoxProspects guys are in camp now. Should be having much more player updates going forward. @SoxProspects Darwinzon Hernandez looks solid in the first. Fastball 92-94 mph, topped at 95 mph. Heavy use. Slider 83-84 mph. Mixed in a mid 80s changeup.
  12. And you think you can do better? Pfffft...
  13. Sorry, that's the lineup I'm going with!
  14. Agreed, this is the lineup I go with: Betts 2b Beni CF Hanley 1b JD RF Xander SS Devers 3B Swihart LF Vazquez C Wright DH
  15. Out until May.
  16. But when multiple injuries happen, I'd rather have Holt on the roster than most other pieces from AAA right now. Chavis isn't even playing in ST yet.
  17. If our depth is so horrible, you gotta stash the guys you can.
  18. If Holt's glove was better, he'd be a no doubt 25 man roster guy. His glove leaves a lot to be desired since there are still question marks about his bat. They already have swiss army knives in Nunez and Swihart.
  19. http://www.maguiresbarandgrill.com/ I had parmesan truffle fries, a bar pizza with jalapenos and black olives, and a Smithwick's.
  20. @PeteAbe #RedSox, once up 7-4, have so far allowed six runs in the sixth inning. Rough outings for Joe Kelly and Robby Scott. Scott may be on the outside looking in since Cora isn't 100% going to carry a lefty in the pen. He wants guys that can get batters from both sides of the plate out.
  21. @PeteAbe Steven Wright went 4 innings vs, Balt. minor leaguers at Fenway South. 4 ER, 6 H, 4 BB, 1 K. Then Kimbrel came in for an inning. 12 pitches, 10 strikes, 3 K
  22. Thoughts regarding the Sox' starting rotation should go here. @JMastrodonato Steven Wright said it’s realistic he could be ready to go for the first series vs Tampa but he has to see how he recovers. 63 pitches today. Presumably in five days he gets to 80, that’s probably enough to feel good about him starting Game 4. His knuckleball needs work, he said. Wright is such a huge wild card. He could be great like 2016 or he could be Charlie Zink. ERod is taking good steps to getting back, but I wish he was ready for the first series. Pomeranz just doesn't seem to be a guy you can rely on to go a full season either. This shows why Porcello is kinda valuable IMO. Sale is great. Price could be great, but could also be done for the season after any pitch. Maybe Johnson can step up? At least we don't have the spectre of Clay Buchholz looming over this rotation anymore.
