    At 600, it was a question on how much he could stay in the lineup. I think it was a fair question too. JBJ's worst hitting season (fulltime in BOS) was 717 to put Ceddanne in perspective. We hated his wild swings in production on here. I think we've been very patient with Rafaela in comparison. If that's around where Ceddanne is, I think we can live with it.

    Not even new terminology.

    I mean, I basically met Tito when he waived to me from the duck boat in 04, so anything is possible.

    If it's from an msn article, it ain't gonna happen.

    Buehler is going to have to pitch a SHO tonight. Not sure the Sox batters will help him out much. 😬 Warren's statcast:

    They were working with GRRM to make the 8th story, but figured it wouldn't be finished before he died.

    Sandlin is interesting. I seem to see the starts where he throws a lot of pitches and looks very relieverish and miss his real quality starts where he goes late into games. He's got STUFF, but needs to harness it. Maybe he's figuring it out? IDK. He'll be in WOO in a few weeks most likely.

    Yeah, Perales is projected to pitch this season. He's in the Bryan Mata position where injuries are going to force him either onto the BOS roster or into a trade after 2026.
  10. mvp 78
    He's going to hang around the rankings like Allan Castro (still only 22???).

    I don't even like 111 Huntington in my skyline so I have nothing to contribute here.

    1. That's NOT the definition of nepotism. 2. Abreu's first visit to MLB: 12 G CF, 12 G LF, 3 RF after being mainly a RFer in WOO 3. Duran gets a TON of respect from Cora, maybe more than any other player in the clubhouse and even said that every kid should watch Duran and play baseball the way he does 4. I don't think Cora had any idea who David Hamilton (598 OPS Freshman) was in 2017 5. Abreu had an 881 OPS while batting 2nd in '24, much better than a 9th hitter

    Ceddanne has always been a 40%+ GB guy. PCA seemed to make some adjustments to reduce his GB rate, but we haven't seen much out of Rafaela to show that he's coachable TBH. He also doesn't have the pull stroke that PCA has. While some metrics make it appear that they are similar, they really aren't the same offensive profile. I've seen this mentioned a few times elsewhere, but I don't get it. PCA 29.1% Pull Air (10th in MLB) Rafaela 12.3% Pull Air (211th in MLB out of 254) I just don't see Ceddanne having any chance of breaking out like PCA. It's also not entirely fair to put that on him. If he got to 750 OPS, we should all be doing cartwheels.

    If you want to see how a replacement level team would play, just look at the '24 ChiSox and the '25 Rockies. They won't go 0-162.

    Sox had 3 players of the month for May for their respective leagues!

    bWAR is the back of baseball card stat FWIW.
  17. mvp 78
    I favor whichever site I’m using more at the moment.
  18. mvp 78
    Moving Duran would get someone else off the roster.
  19. mvp 78
    No.
  20. mvp 78
    1. Roman Anthony 7. Marcelo Mayer 65. Franklin Arias 88. Payton Tolle 90. Brandon Clarke 99. Jhostynxon Garcia Aside from his very first start, Tolle has had a STRONG season. He'll be up in AA for sure.
  21. mvp 78
    They tend to differ when it comes to the defensive calculation of WAR and it can get screwy with some players (Wong in '23 bWAR vs fWAR).
  22. mvp 78
    They should try that one too.

    On Grandal: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/06/yasmani-grandal-steps-away-from-red-sox.html Yasmani Grandal informed the Red Sox’s Triple-A team that he is stepping away from his minor league deal. Grandal did not officially announce his retirement, but it appears he’s leaning that way. “At the moment, it looks like he’s probably going to walk away and potentially hang them up,” Triple-A manager Chad Tracy told MassLive’s Katie Morrison-O’Day on Tuesday. “We talked (Monday), and I knew he was going to pack up and go…his response was ‘it’s time to be dad.’” The Sox technically placed him on the restricted list, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Francys Romero confirms that Grandal does not intend to return to the Boston organization.

    That was my idea. 😎
