    The nail that sticks up gets hammered down. BACK TO BACK TO BACK
  2. mvp 78
    I'll take any bet that Mitch has a higher fWAR this season than Hanley.
  3. mvp 78
    I'm fine with them trading Swihart if they can get an ML ready arm. I'm just not sure what his market is. The reality is that Swihart's ceiling is basically Jason Kendall. If they have to move him, it's not a franchise killer.

    Spring Training stats don't count.
  5. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Christian Vazquez just hit a two-out, two-run homer on a changeup from a lefty. Spring training stats are pretty useless, but he's 7-for-19 this spring with 1 K (and no walks) in 20 PAs. CV needs to start 120 games this year. DFA Sandy.
  6. mvp 78
    IDK. Maybe Hanley is really really great and his option should vest!
  7. mvp 78
    Added Marrero for you.
  8. mvp 78
    Would save $16M this year alone.
  9. mvp 78
    If I was GM, there'd be no chill. There just isn't enough room for everyone to be on the roster. Sandy is a backup and Hanley is too overpriced. I don't want the option to vest.
  10. mvp 78
    I'm not a huge fan of Marrero, but he's better than Holt for sure. I like having a good glove on the bench for late innings too.
  11. mvp 78
    I hope so.
  12. mvp 78
    Because he's a #3 hitter who is going to "have a decent season".
  13. mvp 78
    I'd DFA Hanley and just go with Mitch/JD.
  14. mvp 78
    If the Sox lose because of $6.5M, it's extremely poor roster construction.
  15. mvp 78
    Just DFA Sandy and be done with it. Have Vaz catch 120 games, Swihart can catch 42.
  16. mvp 78
    He's the #3 hitter on a back to back division winning team. What's not to like?!?!
  17. mvp 78
    Or they should just trade Hanley and eat 50% of the contract. Then you'd have enough to keep Holt and sign Duda or Moose retroactively. Just need to build that time machine.
  18. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Eduardo Rodriguez just wrapped up his three simulated innings. I believe he had 48 pitches, working out of both stretch and wind while incorporating fastballs, sliders, changeups.
  19. mvp 78
    Management speak and lying are two different issues. If Cora is stating "well, if the season started today, Carson Smith would be our closer" isn't a lie, because Kimbrel is DTD. However, if the season starts and Kimbrel is the closer, people would see it as "why did he LIE about Smith being the closer"? If Cora says "I expect Hanley to be our starting 1b" but Hanley gets traded later that day, it doesn't make him a liar. If Cora says "I expect Hanley will be our starting 1b" but Mitch is playing 1b on opening day, it doesn't make him a liar.
  20. mvp 78
    Got 'em.
  21. mvp 78
    Why would you ever fill up the payroll to the point where you couldn't make any moves midseason?
  22. mvp 78
    The want him to play corner IF and corner OF too. I think that counts as "other utility."
  23. mvp 78
    Do we have to do this s*** again?
  24. mvp 78
    Red Sox for sure. 2018 will be a 3peat for the AL East. Not sure the other good teams in the division have a shot (Jays, O's, Rays).
  25. mvp 78
    If there is a poster who loves Devers more than me, I haven't met them yet.
