  1. I think the vast majority of us believe there is a great chance for us to be able to watch meaningful baseball this year. Is that really gloom and doom?
  2. Never too early, give or take 10 weeks.
  3. Take your common core maths and shove it, buster!
  4. I feel very confident that the Sox will be within a 10 win margin of error at 85 wins (as will most teams). If nobody knows nothing, I guess we all must know something!
  5. pgammo: "Ryan Kalish HR, single, 2 BB for Caguas Wed., .333 in playoffs, after 2 yrs. injuries, deserves spring non-roster look"
  6. Johnson and Owens start in AAA. The guy who is pitching the best will be called up first.
  7. Betting odds are less about potential outcomes and more about where people are putting their money. My guess is that the Cubs and Sox have rabid fanbases that are more likely to bet on their teams...
  8. Classic jung!
  9. Smart financial move by Sox ownership. Trying to save on food costs!
  10. Growing up watching Dewey play RF showed me that your best defensive OF has got to play RF in Fenway. Having Betts in CF and JBJ in RF is like having Lynn and Dewey again (defensively).
  11. Eater of worlds... Destroyer of buffets...
  12. Well, of course they have their own projections. I'm not saying all projections are useless, I'm just saying fangraphs is given too much stock for what it is.
  13. The Sox catchers were calling for pitches to be lobbed right down Broadway? I find that hard to believe.
  14. Instead of agreeing with the projections, he states they should be expected to lose a few more games because of his bias. I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just saying he's tweaking the results with his own personal beliefs, i.e. bias.
  15. Odds makers do hust as well with their own projections. Not sure they need fangraphs.
  16. If you want to believe that myth, go for it.
  17. The original fangraphs projection was 92. He is using bias to reduce the number.
  18. Panda and Hanley are dogs. They should have waited until adter the season to sign Porcello. Castillo showed potential. It was basically spending money on a prospect with upside, which I'd rather do then spend on guys in the back half of their careers. Porcello is young, but I wonder if the additional mileage on his arm from getting to the majors at 20 is taking its toll.
  19. A more "realistic" projection is 88 wins, not 92. After being in last place for 3 of 4 years, the 92 games may be a little bit of a stretch. It's more likely than not that they don't get to 90 wins. Projections aren't foolproof. I just haven't seen a correlation between Sox projections and performance the past 5 years or so. This team is such a mixed bag that it's really hard to say for sure where they'll end up.
  20. Castillo was the best signing of the bunch.
  21. The metrics say it was his worst defensive season whether he played 162 or not. Maybe he struggled only during the games I watched, but I doubt it. In years past, a ball hit towards second wasn't concerning for me. He was a defensive beast. Last year, he wasn't. He was replacement level defensive wise.
  22. That's only because he kinda sucked last year.
  23. Heyman : "Brennan boesch signs red sox minors deal. $1M in mjaors"
