  1. The Red Sox had zero interest in making him a quality defender prior to calling him up. I'm not sure that's changing now.
  2. He was being a true Captain by putting the loss on himself and not the pitcher.
  3. If he gets dealt, I hope it's to a team that has a direct path for him to get playing time. I'd rather it be here though. His defense is supposed to be somewhat decent at 1b too.
  4. What I'm saying is that the types of pitches he'll see in MLB aren't indicative of the pitches he'll see in AAA. He may master AAA pitching and may continue to struggle after promotion. That's just how some players turn out. It says nothing about the value of the minors, just the learning curve as players advance.
  5. What is he going to learn in AAA that will get him ready for MLB? There is a huge difference in pitching. Even if he starts to rake in AAA again, it won't show that he's ready to be promoted. Is he working on pulling the ball with authority or pitch recognition? Did he have those issues prior to April? The Sox clearly either felt he was the most ready, or just wanted him up because he was the only guy who they could extend.
  6. I was told he wouldn’t wear down and not to worry about it.
  7. A lot of players do these days. He’s hitting circles around Duran and most of the team.
  8. He could have his B game and it may not matter with Buehler on the bump.
  9. Dear Trevor Story, I told everyone you'd be a 4 WAR player this year. What gives? Will you apologize to me? You have a 083 OPS in the 2nd half. Get traded or move to 2b, Me
  10. What I want: C #3 (Keller) 2 RP (one high leverage setup, one medium leverage) What we'll likely acquire: 1b #5 (Merrill Kelly) RP (medium leverage)
  11. Keller AVG start '25: 6IP, 2.3 ER Fitts AVG start '25: 4.3IP, 2.0 ER Bello AVG start '25: 5.7IP, 2.1 ER Give me a guy who averages better than a QS every time out.
  12. Bubic, Keller and Kelly would be the top of my list. Not overly excited about the other names.
  13. Who did this happen to? Campbell came up and hit fine. The league then caught up to him. If he stayed in AAA for 6 more months, the league would have just caught up to him at that point. He just needs to figure it out.
  14. For me, it just depends on the price tag. Sandlin? Seems a little high. Romero, Bleis, Cespedes, Paez, Monegro or similar? Sounds better to me.
  15. Speier isn't providing numbers for unannounced signings, but has mentioned which guys haven't signed yet:
  16. They are approximately 60k over the 5% threshold if every other pick gets slot (they won't). None of the other picks look like they'd be over slot by very much and a few look like they'd be under slot. Phillips, Eyanson and Witherspoon were the big signings for the class. Everyone else shouldn't be a problem.
  17. I prefer wild speculation.
  18. Per Alex Speier and Pete Abraham, they also signed 11th round pick Barrett Morgan (RHP) for 500k.
