  1. Let me look on one of my 10 white boards!
  2. They didn't trade Jhostynxon until he was actually on the 40 man. I think they aren't real in a future sense until they are pushing the AAA level and making big waves. Arias might be a highly ranked prospect, but he's not exactly tearing through the system. There's an obvious path where he's not good enough to be an everyday player.
  3. I guarantee you that he's not using white boards in 2026. Why would he show Arias as a starting SS if he hasn't shown the ability to even hit at AA? It doesn't make sense. All these guys are fungible to Breslow. They probably should be as long as there is enough of them.
  4. That was a really great article. Well deserved for @Maddie Landis !!!
  5. I don't believe Ozzy was ever called "The Oz" though. The Prince of Darkness The Ozzman
  6. In 1980, he set the single-season record for most assists by a shortstop (621), and began his string of 13 consecutive Gold Glove awards.[34] Smith's fielding play prompted the Yuma Daily Sun to use the nickname "the Wizard of Oz" in a March 1981 feature article about Smith.[35] While "the Wizard of Oz" nickname was an allusion to the 1939 motion picture of the same name, Smith also came to be known as simply "the Wizard" during his playing career, as Smith's Baseball Hall of Fame plaque would later attest.
  7. He got outhit by Tomas Nido in the winter league.
  8. I really doubt Breslow is looking at the depth chart and thinking "Arias will really help us in 2028" or "we can't trade Juan Valera because he's going to be in our rotation someday."
  9. I just don't think CBOs look at this roster and think, wow these are the guys I'm going to have for the next 5 years. I think they know that everyone could be dealt and they are more focused on 2-3 years than what the team looks like well into the future.
  10. Maybe Casas really wasn't the DH of the future? After his ARB years were up, he was just going to be elsewhere? The idea was probably to let him play 1B through season 6 and then let him go. His bat is fine, but doesn't have Devers's ceiling.
  11. He doesn't fit, because Cora isn't committed to DHing him 130 Games a year. In '24 when he was hitting well, Cora sat him frequently. It didn't make sense.
  12. Needs to be a big bat, or Ozzie Smith. I don't believe Ozzie is available though.
  13. The swoon came after a rib strain/injury. He never recovered. Unsure if it bothered him all year, but makes more sense than "he lost weight and forgot how to hit AAA pitching."
  14. William is younger though. Maybe they should have instead named him Willliam?
  15. Ridiculous trade. Glad the Sox didn't do it.
  16. C, 1B, LF & RF seem a little light to me.
  17. IDK, because these guys are so versatile they should go with: Hamilton to 2b. Mayer to SS. Duran/Abreu/Anthony OF. Masa DH. Eaton to 3B. Anyone to platoon C? Stuck with Contreras at 1B I guess. Probably have to sit Rafaela against RHP all year. He's even worse against LHP so may have to sit him against those too.
