    I just don't think an Abreu for Paredes trade makes sense due to the additional 2 years of control. Sox aren't in a hurry to move an OFer now. HOU would have to really wow Breslow with an offer for Abreu. HOU just had Pena hurt his finger. Deal probably doesn't get done.

    I think with the IKF signing, they are showing that they are trying to maximize IF defense. Durbin was an above average 3b. Story was good at SS until the EOY. Mayer should be well above average 2b. Contreras is an above average 1b. If they swapped Story and Mayer, it would be a very good defense for sure.

    If he had a second tool, it would make sense. He only contacts the ball. That's it. For a bench guy, that's not great. Contact with speed or defense? Great! Maybe if he had an unbelievable platoon split you'd hold onto him, but it's not the case.

    How many Pedroias can they fit on this roster?
  5. mvp 78
    He needs more than a few days to get passable at 2b! -16 DRS, -8 OAA, -10 FRV Mike Moustakas played a better 2b! Travis Shaw played a better 2b!
  6. mvp 78
    Looks like five 20 HR guys to me.

    It's not that we hate Masa, we think the roster needs an adjustment somewhere because it's very clunky. If the Sox want to compete for the playoffs and succeed there, it's not going to be with a no power/no speed/LF only guy sitting on the bench.
  8. mvp 78
    Yup. If they had traded Duran for prospects and Casas doesn't come back healthy, there isn't a reason to move on from Masa yet.
  9. mvp 78
    Have Okamoto and Murakami shown that they can hit MLB pitching yet?
  10. mvp 78
    In order to have a shot at 2b, he'll actually have to play there!
  11. mvp 78
    Braiden Ward will not be televised.
  12. mvp 78
    I was trying to decide between Arias and Godbout. I went with Godbout because I believe his bat is a better carrying tool. Arias has great defense, but hasn't shown much offensively IMO. He might end up just being a UTIL guy.
  13. mvp 78
    Yup, it's why they moved Mayer to 2b. Romy can't play 3b.
  14. mvp 78
    The guy that Japan blasted early this AM has 8 innings in the ACL, a few years in the Chinese league and had a 13 ERA pitching in the Independent League in '22. Not a high quality arm there.
  15. mvp 78
    Traded for Bennett. https://soxprospects.com/players/bennett-jake.htm
  16. mvp 78
    No.
  17. mvp 78
    Will the Red Sox be hitting against Chinese Taipei this season?
  18. mvp 78
    He'll be a MiLB FA this offseason. If he does reasonably well, he may hold out for a better opportunity elsewhere and not stick around.
  19. mvp 78
    I wouldn't count on Paredes hitting 30. He averages about 22 over the past 4 seasons. Has only hit more than 20 HR once in his career.
  20. mvp 78
    11 SB's FWIW
  21. mvp 78
    Ward hasn't really been on any national prospect lists and self admittedly signed "for a chicken sandwhich" as a 16th rounder. I found him on a Rockies list from a few years ago in the 30's. He's always been a guy that has taken a while to go from level to level (2 years in high A) for various reasons. I'm not entirely sure about SP's rules on age and how they determine prospect eligibility like Watson vs Ward. National lists tend to be more age based. Pipeline doesn't list Watson in their top 30. That seems to be the list used to build the breakout roster.
  22. mvp 78
    Is Watson pitching in the spring breakout game??? Is Watson listed on any national lists?
  23. mvp 78
    No, they use prospect lists to create the squad. Ward is post-prospect.

    I believe Ian Cundall was trying to talk himself into the Kyle Keller experience for a bullpen role. 😶‍🌫️
