  1. Two years later, they were in the ALCS without really adding to the team though. Seems like they just needed to run it back?
  2. I think Breslow would prefer if Kelly was his 3 and someone younger with a higher whiff rate as his 2.
  3. Does he need another 5th starter?
  4. Mullins is a high injury risk and further away than Drohan and Uberstine. The guys protected this season could all contribute early on this season. Mullins still has work to do. Drohan and Uberstine could still be called up for an emergency start, but Mullins is probably a relief profile by the time he gets to MLB. Drohan has injury issues too, but has a good k rate and whiff rate. Uberstine is the more clear emergency call up for a starter guy. Mullins is just behind them.
  5. Could have traded him for a DSL flier. Would have been better than nothing.
  6. Yes, the Red Sox have been at the bottom of MLB in errors every year. They can't go backwards with their defense if they are serious about contending going forward.
  7. Tampa did it in '19, '22 and '24. They have had a lot of those UTIL type guys who play multiple positions. They would also rather NOT pay for a DH if they didn't have to. Because of the Chaim connection, people thought the Sox would kinda go that way at some point, but the Masa move took that off the table.
  8. Either get a legit #2 or what's the point in bothering? You're just adding a more expensive guy that isn't providing much upside.
  9. There's the idea that it's better to rotate guys through DH to give everyone a rest. You really need to have the right lineup for the that to work though. I'd rather have a big hitter taking up that spot 150 games a year. David Ortiz JD Martinez Canseco Baylor Cooper
  10. I've been the one guy NOT assuming he starts in Boston. 😐
  11. They don't want MASA as a fulltime DH. If that spot was open, maybe we'd be hearing smoke about a FA addition?
  12. The IF could use some work TBH
  13. The problem with the roster construction is the big Masa hurdle. Until he's out of the equation, it's hard to place another fulltime DH on the roster.
  14. If they sign Alonso, I don't see a reason to keep Casas around except for his cheap contract and options.
  15. He called it out during his Section 10 interview. Needs to work on being able to hit the tough lefties in the division as his defense is needed in RF every night.
  16. Alonso IS much better than Schwarber at defense.
  17. If JH can't get over the David Price contract, even though the Sox make the 3rd most money in MLB year in and year out, he should sell the team.
  18. External 3b options (non-Breggie): Bichette - prob put at 2b and have Mayer at 3b if signed Okamoto - short term option at 3b and better utilized at 1b Suarez - terrible at 3b, unsure about 1b Polanco - a move that satisfies moon, but that's about it Parades trade - max pull AIR guy Arenado trade - well past the prime of his career and isn't a plus defender anymore Bohm trade - average to below on everything he does
  19. Bohm is a bad 3b who doesn't pull the ball. Theoretically, Arenado is a better fit for the Sox if you squint really hard due to the pull AIR %.
  20. You said it: "far from a sure thing." That's why he should probably spend the first few months in WOO rather than OPSing 500 in BOS again.
  21. They are dealing him this offseason or stashing him in AAA. I don't think they are planning on him to be a fulltime contributor.
  22. Mayer or a guy that should retire? Wow, tough choice there!
  23. Hard to see how they get a DH with Masa still on the roster.
