  1. Dodgers - 95 wins Yankees/Sox - 87 wins Jays - 86 wins O's - 83 wins Rays - 78 wins Rockies - 64 wins
  2. Paredes is still 26. How much younger do they want?
  3. Duran is fine for the backup CFer when Rafaela needs a day off.
  4. Suarez '23 -3 DRS '24 -4 DRS '25 -6 DRS He's only going to get worse since he'll be 35 this season. Sox showed interest last trade deadline so that they could move him to 1B. Don't see the fit at 3B going forward TBH.
  5. I thought this WAS the Luxury Tax thread! 🙃
  6. I think they know 2b was his best chance for playing time. Even knowing that, they moved him off the position.
  7. Someone said that they think he can still be good at 2b. So why send him to 2b? I think there must be considerable discussions about what he is and isn't good at with people on both sides. Since he didn't play 2b in the winter leagues, I think we know where Craig stands.
  8. There's just no way. Pena is the best player the Astros have left. I don't think they are giving up on that roster yet. He also would cost a lot and doesn't really check some of the boxes that the Sox really like (exit velo, hard hit, chase rate). Good defender, pulls the ball, but would take a lot in a trade.
  9. AUG - 744 OPS SEP - 815 OPS Seeing that Campbell still doesn't have a defensive home, he needs to do more than that to get a call up.
  10. 2003 - terrible defense, 28th in bullpen ERA (bullpen by committee), 3rd offense 2004 - terrible defense, but they win because they had a healthy starting rotation all year and the bullpen pitched lights out in the playoffs 2005 - 4th offense, terrible defense, 18th pitching staff 2007 - 2nd in team ERA, lights out bullpen, only injury was to Schilling 2011 - 2nd offense, 16th in pitching, 7th in defense 2013 - starting pitching was healthy except for Buchholz, top 10 defense 2018 - top 5 pitching staff, top 5 defense 2019 - 6th offense, 12th pitching, 5th defense I think punting on pitching would be a bad idea. They could get away with a bad defense, but would need to have a really, really great offense (which they don't have).
  11. I'm not sure it's even that. The guy is 25, has barely appeared in AA and has a 20 arm according to FanGraphs. They just dumped him for someone who can be a backup catcher in the org and to add a glove in ST. That's really pushing the definition of "depth."
  12. If it's temporary, what's the point? He's not going to be given enough time to get good enough at 2b to be worth it. He's great at CF and mediocre at 2B. Why mess with it?
  13. Campbell played in 88% of all games prior to being sent down, a portion of the games missed were due to a rib injury at the end of April.
  14. He didn't play 2b until Campbell was back in AAA.
  15. Cora can't even nut up to tell Raffy to grab a 1b mitt in ST. He should get canned first.
  16. Yuck. I'll stick with Breslow for a while then.
  17. He had to go 10 deep to find Breslow last time. Nobody outside the org wanted to come here. If he fires Breslow, he won't find anyone qualified. The search will be a joke.
  18. Because they had to play Romy at 1b. They don't have to do that this year.
  19. JH can't get rid of Breslow as quickly as he has with the previous ones. I think Craig makes it to the mysterious year 5.
  20. Sure, but have you seen the Sox IF?
