    His MiLB contract is what hurts his chances the most.

    It's less about a time machine and more about "stop throwing money down a well while putting budgetary restrictions on a large market (by revenue) team."

    If they got him for cheap in '24 when he was rehabbing, maybe. They spent too much on a guy who had about 10 good innings in the previous postseason after a pretty dreadful regular season. It was no different than how they signed Pablo "he's good in the playoffs" Sandoval. They brought him to BOS and the results mirrored his LAD regular season in '24. We're talking about a guy with two TJS's. When you get the second one, it can really be a career ender. This season, he had to settle for a MiLB deal.

    Just FLOPPING into another postseason appearance.

    The Sox would have been better off not splurging on Story and waiting for Swanson. I think we all know that by now. Bloom just wasn't experienced at building an MLB team. He's good at drafting hitters and collecting young talent, but you can't really overlook his shortcomings.
  6. mvp 78
    They sign these mediocre injured guys and don't even consider going for a guy with upside like Woodruff. I don't get it.
  7. mvp 78
    I would probably add Sandoval to that list too. He hasn't pitched in games yet. Seems like a guy to get a short IL stint rather than a 60 day IL like Romy and Casas. They already said that Casas will not get into ANY ST games this year. If that's the case, they probably should leave him in Ft Myers until May to keep him out of the bad weather up North while he rehabs.

    If you're wondering about the Italy/Mexico game that determines USA's fate: if Mexico wins while scoring four or fewer runs, Team USA is out. If Mexico wins while scoring five or more runs, Italy is eliminated. If Italy wins, Mexico is out no matter the score.
  9. mvp 78
    If they lose, it's because of the very light starting pitching group. Skenes could throw twice, but Skubal only was going to throw once. Everyone else on that stuff is rough.

    Gasper has a good shot at a UTIL position in AAA. He's great to have in the org on a taxi squad this season.
  11. mvp 78
    If Judge stays healthy, they'll make the playoffs again.
  12. mvp 78
    I think the Sox should beat current expectations and I don't think the Yanks will lead the league in runs again. Grisham 129 wRC+ seems unrepeatable Trotting out 38 year old Goldschmidt seems foolhardy Aaron "wrong side of the aging curve" Judge could be due for an injury What I'd worry about is an MVP type season from Jazz.
  13. mvp 78
    That 758 OPS in '24 was one of the biggest miracles in modern Red Sox history.
  14. mvp 78
    Braden Ward among Sox players over 14 AB's: 448 AVG #1 543 OBP #1 16 SB #1 13 H #1 10 R #1 His OPS is 3rd (1026) behind Gasper and Monasterio. Ward definitely wins the ST "let's talk about this rando guy" award.
  15. mvp 78
    One of the positions that is up for grabs is backup C. Thaiss is a good blocker who doesn't chase and will take a walk or two. Not super exciting, but his upwards mobility clause may get him added and Wong optioned.
  16. mvp 78
  17. mvp 78
    It was why he was on he Opening Day roster to begin with and why Roman/Mayer were in AAA.

    Big physical presence right now. I wouldn't have him as a top 100 guy until he really does more on the field though. I think he COULD be part of the next big 4 and someone the org COULD build around. He just needs to adjust that GB rate and stay athletic enough to keep an OF position.
  20. mvp 78
    The extension was 5 games into his career.
  21. mvp 78
    I thought it was a racist truck stop?
  22. mvp 78
  23. mvp 78
    Oh fffffffffffffffffff. Whoooosh.
  24. mvp 78
    Sometimes I wonder why I went into accounting instead of finance.
  25. mvp 78
    Not into Leave It To Beaver jokes?
