    There's no "big deal." I just would have rather seen him on the bench than Hamilton. He's a better UTIL guy than what we've put out there. He also has a great offensive approach that could rub off on other players like Schwarber did. These are the types of conversations that you don't care for so...

    I think that's why historically, we haven't had a lot of uniform discussions on here. We have a classic uniform that hasn't needed change. The road uniform is whatever. Not many people are buying that one and it's never been very good. The alternates have been fine, but nothing special. The one topic that used to be very hot was concerning replacing Fenway. However, this ownership group has done a great job at modernizing Fenway as best they can and making the fans believe that this stadium will be around another 100 years whether it should be or not. 30 years ago, there were many fans that would have rather seen a Red Sox game at a modern facility TBH. Now, we don't have stadium talk anymore.

    The trade was worth it. We can still say it'd be nice if they kept Meidroth and sent another guy instead.
  4. mvp 78
    It's not a bad break if the guy is consistently injured. I believe health is a skill set/player tool. Casas doesn't have it.
  5. mvp 78
    I think they'll get a low end starter at the very least. Can probably get a 5th starter type for a low level prospect.

    I don't think it's been about balancing pitching and hitting, it's just been an all out push towards pitching. Two straight drafts and only 12 hitters were picked since Breslow has been here. That's 70% of all picks being pitchers. Active rosters up and down the minors are still 50/50 pitchers and hitters. At some point, overly focusing on pitchers is going to come back and bite them. Pitchers are more likely to get injured. Hitters are a safer bet to retain their value as tradeable assets and advance in the system. I like that they are trying to fix the blind spot Bloom had with pitching, but I'm not sure they are going about it in the right manner.

    When I saw Brand in ST in '24 I was taken aback to see a pitcher that size. Really weird. He looks even shorter than his listed height as well. Doesn't help when every guy you're standing next to is 5-6"s taller.

    They are supposed to be very accurate now because of ABS. 🫠

    I really thought Meidroth would have fit nicely as a bench piece here. I'm shocked how well he's played SS in Chicago. Wish they would have thrown in another prospect in that trade.

    catcher reliever - set up 1b starter depth reliever dump salary if possible

    All the players we hate on here. 😎

    They aren't non-tendering him. They don't non-tender replacement level guys. Casas still has a ceiling of a 3 WAR guy in him somewhere. I think they'll hold onto him at least to platoon with Romy. He'll be cheap enough anyway.
  13. mvp 78
    But AZ could give him the QO this offseason! 😶

    Other short kings above A ball: AA - Pitcher Jonathan Brand 5'9 UTIL Ahbram Liendo 5'8 OF Caden Rose 5'9 AAA OF Corey Rosier 5'9 UTIL Tyler McDonough 5'8

    And not one autographed baseball card? WTH?
  16. mvp 78
    You don't need to be sold on him, but he's producing at AA, which is more than what Valera and Witherspoon have done and has one plus plus pitch.
  17. mvp 78
    My only problem with the yellow is that the hats look like UCLA's. Big time thumbs down. ✌️ I like the green ones. The colors are great. I wish they were a little more daring with the styling of them, but they are pretty good overall.
  18. mvp 78
    Much easier to forecast FA signings. It's fun to talk about even if it's just pretend. We all love baseball and could probably talk endlessly about everything from the uniforms to soft serve ice cream.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't know how you could rank him lower than Valera and Witherspoon at this point.
  20. mvp 78
    I like Santana better than Naylor. I think adding a veteran presence would be good for the team. Wouldn't be upset about that defense either. His OAA and DRS are 2nd in MLB for 1b. I'd take that all day long considering what we've seen the past few years.
  21. mvp 78
    It's crazy to plan on Casas being healthy after witnessing his career up to this point.
  22. mvp 78
    I have no idea what the plan is at 1b. I have been confused by it for years. With the emphasis on MIF development, they are top heavy at 1b and C. An injury to Casas or Narvaez and the season was going to be in turmoil. They kind of lucked out so far at 1b. I think Toro is heading the wrong direction. 1b may be Romy's best defensive position.
  23. mvp 78
    The only OFer practicing there is Masa.
  24. mvp 78
    If I tried to teach the girls tonight to throw the ball by pretending to pull a blind down, they'd have no idea what I was talking about.
  25. mvp 78
    I'm not sure they are going to move Duran to 1b either. All the talk has been to find someone external or trade from their internal surplus of OF.
