  1. We've seen KC play OF. It's been fine!
  2. In simulated game news:
  3. For his sake, he needs a long leash in AAA since he just drastically changed his swing this offseason.
  4. Jeter Downs and out! Verdugo-go-go-gone!
  5. It's why I think they should go with Thaiss. He's good for about 85 wRC+. Wong really bottomed out last year and there's not telling what he'd do this season.
  6. TCC is my darkhorse candidate to get 1 SB this year.
  7. Back up catchers aren't usually available with multiple skillsets. Some can hit. Some can field (even that gets broken down between blocking vs framing vs controlling the running game). If a guy is a good fielder and can hit a little bit, he's typically already a starting catcher in MLB.
  8. Early and Oviedo have had very strong ST's. Crochet, Tolle and Suarez all have decent WHIP's, which may be a better indication of how they are pitching than their current ERA's due to SSS.
  9. I'm less concerned about the LHB/RHB issue that the Sox used to have. The concern that hasn't gone away for me is the k % that will still be pretty high for this group (especially if they reduce Masa's role).
  10. Today, he's fine enough to throw out in the OF. If his bat turned around, you could put him somewhere in the OF and not worry about it. At 2b, his fielding would be a nightmare and it wouldn't be worth it unless he had like an 850 OPS.
  11. I was being facetious. Guys that should hit 20 HR's this season: Contreras Anthony Abreu Story Guys that might hit 20 HR's this season: Duran Rafaela Casas
  12. If the League President can Tony Clark himself, I think things would run smoother.
  13. Anthony can keep it up due to his exit velo and expected stats. With Duran, I don't think he can continue to do it against LHP as he has done so recently. Also, I think he loses a few HR's due to playing home games at Fenway. He could probably be a 25-30 HR guy in the right park (CIN). I think it has benefited him with the doubles though. Abreu is a legit power bat IMO. He's turning 27 this year so should be in his prime. He had 22 HR in a partial season last year and should be able to have more this year, especially if he can get his Hard Hit % closer to where it was in '24.
  14. Sox don't have any guys that can hit dingers.
  15. Pull the trigger on a Paredes trade.
  16. I disagree. AAA OBP Narvaez '23 373 '24 370 Wong '21 288 '22 349 Narvaez's 294 BABIP from last season seems pretty reasonable. I think he has a better chance of repeating his offensive output unlike Wong. Plus, Narvaez is a much better defensive catcher.
  17. Wong's offensive output in 2024 was completely a fluke and defied the expected stats.
