Yup, this has what Farrell has hinted at all offseason.
-
Chris Young. The majority of those guys (Beckett, Carpenter) never regain their control.
-
Part of the problem is that most posters don't look in this forum. You may have a better chance drumming up interest in other threads.
-
Tyson Ross had surgery in October. I wouldn't sign anyone with TOC.
-
For Smith, some are saying he should be ready by opening day. DD is holding off on announcing anything like that and hinted it might not be that close.
-
When did Ross have surgery?
-
Ross is the most underrated player on this team.
-
Small sample size
-
I'd be more comfortable with a mediocre Taz than Hembree, Kelly and Abad.
-
Rotation: Sale Porcello Price ERod/Pom Wright The pen should be well rested this year.
-
They did great mainly due to Price and Porcello since they both put up a ton of innings. After that, it was three days in a row of hurry up and get the bullpen ready.

http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2017/01/06/roster-recap-no-one-knows-what-to-do-with-drew-pomeranz/ Not sure if anyone had read this article yet, but it's a good glimpse of how the Pomeranz is playing out.
-
I agree. Not sure why Soxprospects has Ockimey ranked higher than Longhi.
-
My chakras will be in perfect alignment this year. You better hope you are in a different division than me.
-
I think they want to go with an all LHP rotation if possible so Pom will stick around a bit longer. They just need to move Porcello (who is a bum and could never have an ERA below 4.50).
-
Even though other posters are worried about using up cap space, I agree with you. This pen lost Koji, Tax, Buchholz AND Ziegler and only grabbed one new guy. They are really rolling the dice that Hembree, Abad and Kelly will provide a lot of value.
-
Well, I hope you have a wonderful hobby that helps to alleviate any stress in your life. Fortunately, I enjoy fantasy baseball and it doesn't stress me out.
-
My pitching crapped out in the playoffs. I didn't throw any chairs and blame small sample sizes and randomness like Billy Beane though. It was because my chakras were not aligned.
-
The more weight you lose, the more prominent your cauliflower ear becomes. It's strictly to scare the other opponents and for leverage to a lesser extent (i.e. the cauliflower ear can act as a lever).
-
I expect him to be on the roster in 2018. All I've ever said was that if that I'd put him in AAA for a quick promotion to Boston IF there was a need due to injury AND he was exceeding his previous performance (i.e. playing like Beni or Moncada in AA).
-
Please, it's not 2016 anymore. Let's bury the dead already. This one stings too much.
-
Wright has a poor track record of pitching out of the pen. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=8185&position=P&season=0&split=8.2 He is far more consistent when starting. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=8185&position=P&season=0&split=8.1
-
The following conditions in which Wright is useless: 1. too humid 2. a chance of rain 3. his one pitch isn't working I feel like Wright is perfectly fine as a #5, but using him multiple times a week in high leverage situations isn't the best fit for him. Pom AND Wright will both be in the rotation. Farrell has confirmed this.
-
Kimmi, I'd be willing to cover half of your league fees if you joined.
-
I like fantasy because it gets me to be more involved with other teams. That way, I don't feel like the visiting 25 man roster is a group of entire strangers when I'm watching a Sox game. In terms of setting rosters, I probably look at my roster 2-3 times a week. I also don't think you necessarily have to think about it that much prior to the draft. The more research you do, the more confusing the draft process becomes.
