    If the Sox didn't have Priester/Fitts/etc. they'd be really in a tough spot right now. They only have an MLB quality rotation after losing 3 SP's because of the depth. Not many orgs could handle that.

    Cute that O'Neilll is listed as first. He's going to have a massive regression, especially in the part and his good luck with health will run out. Story is going to stay healthy for once put up bigger numbers than him this season.

    Regular baseball rules don't matter in Spring Training. In the MiLB games, you can even decide to end innings early, add extra outs if pitchers need to face another batter or two or let an MLB hitter hit 20 times in a game if you feel like it.

    Lance Lynn territory if one of the young guys doesn't look ready?
  6. mvp 78
    Gibson's '24 is the best we could hope for out of Gio's '25, right?
  7. mvp 78
    Looks like Fitts/Priester might be sticking around for a while.
  8. mvp 78
    Since he's still unsigned, I'm going to ignore all the Sox bluster about them caring about pulled fly balls.

    Bres' first offseason had a significant whiff rate.
  10. mvp 78
    The contract states that if he puts up less than 140 innings this year, the Sox have a club option on him for next season. Come on down 2026 Giolito!
  11. mvp 78
    Rafaela can play SS, but shouldn't UNLESS he's in a UTIL role.
  12. mvp 78
    Sogard also has some OF experience at the corners. Not ideal, but fine for injury replacement or whatever.
  13. mvp 78
    Clark was a great player and is more deserving of the HOF than Baines. However, he was a shell of what he once was when he got to BOS. Nick Esasky hits the ball OVER the Citgo sign in '89 if he feels like it though.

    They probably just grab some shmoe off the waiver wire right before the season and he's the guy for two weeks while keeping Eaton and Thompson in AAA.
  15. mvp 78
    That's why they got Aroldis Chapman!
  16. mvp 78
    Mine as well. This extension won't come cheap.
  17. mvp 78
    Option 1 is fine. Romy can also play corner OF in a pinch. It really just depends on how long they think Abreu will be out for.
  18. mvp 78
    I think Mayer needs at least a few months in AAA. He has at lot to work on offensive wise to be a MLB hitter. Romero is really a 2b going forward. I don't think Campbell is a capable MLB SS and isn't part of the equation. If Story goes down, I think Hamilton is the emergency backup in the near term. If we get closer to July we may see Mayer.

    Narvaez could have higher fWAR simply because of his defense. Wong's defense hasn't looked better this spring even though we had some glowing articles about his offseason work. I agree about his offensive numbers from '24 too.

    Statcast era is more accurate. Also, the Statcast era hr's were clearly excluded from that list per the list's title. Of the top ten Statcast Hr's, three have been above 500: 1. Nomar Mazara, Texas Rangers - 505 feet (2019) On June 21st, 2019, Mazara smashed a 94.7 mile-per-hour fastball from Reynaldo Lopéz in a game against the White Sox- setting the Statcast era record for the longest home run ever. 2 (tie). C.J. Cron, Colorado Rockies - 504 feet (2022) Three years after Mazara, Cron unloaded a 504-foot rocket against the Diamondbacks on September 9th, 2022. It is the longest measured home run in Coors Field history. 2 (tie). Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins - 504 feet (2016) Six years prior to Cron, Stanton hit a homer for the same distance against the Rockies, with it being the first 500-foot homer in the Statcast era.

    Adding Bregman's Pull Air % for reference as many people think he's going to have a huge Fenway bump.

    Because if I gave you the Game 162 roster today and it was filled with a team that looked ready to compete in the playoffs, you'd be more excited about the upcoming season than if it looked like how it looked on 9/30/24, 9/30/23, 9/30/22, etc. That's why I care about more what the roster will look like later on than what it looks like now.
  23. mvp 78
    Almost every decade has had a guy who could launch 500' hr's. It's just that the measurement systems and fields are completely different from one era to another.
  24. mvp 78
    If you're out of the race in August, your team would probably be constructed a little differently on Game 162 than if they were in the race in August.

    MiLB contract with opt out. He was decent last season.
