    I meant Cespedes in the second sentence. Romero is a 2b/3b through and through. He could be good? Hard to say.

    I'm out on Grissom because of how he wears his hat. DFA all day.

    Don't make me keep tapping this sign...

    Yup, we're really getting somewhere with this conversation! 😔

    Because it's not a big deal in house and the team moved on by the end of the day while they were hanging out at Cora's house.

    Posting just for us sickos in here:

    Early reviews are in:

    On Soto: Field: Solid actions and soft hands. Unclear if he will be able to stick at shortstop long-term given his current size and that he is already growing, but will start off his career there.

    Just because they were "signed as" something doesn't mean they still are. His bat is far more advanced than they initially thought it would be. They signed Yoiber Ruiz to be a SS the same year as Arias for a similar amount of $$$ and he's been transitioned to C/2B/3B and hasn't yet to appear stateside.

    The full tweet was interesting to read last week. Devers relies on a translator in formal interview settings to help him, but I think it just made it more confusing this time. His English is supposed to be pretty good and I think that if he was going one on one with someone, they would have figured out the conversation a little better. However, I don't think baseball writers have any other agenda but find something exciting to write about and there isn't much to write about right now. It was an easy story for them to glom onto and then some of them pooh pooh the next day.

    Casas says SHOCKING things in this revealing interview. He was doing no more interview I was told so this is completely uncalled for!!! Shocking Casas Exposé Laurila: What about the current changes? Were they driven by conversations with people in the organization? Casas: "I mean, they obviously want me to cut back... They haven’t ever suggested anything crazy or wanted me to ever make a drastic change... These are just changes that… I mean... It’s just one that I’m going through at the moment. The last time we talked, I was... on something else. This is just where I’m at right now... I don’t know how long I’m going ride this out. If I see that something isn’t working... I’ll scratch it. I’ll go back to the drawing board and do it all over again.”

    Is he doing any OF work this Spring? I've only heard about IF so far. He has a much longer history in the IF, so it may be a better fit as he's adjusting to MLB.
  15. mvp 78
    Woah there.

    Whatever it is, Tomase will be on it like Superbowl XXXVI.

    It's easy to be really down on him because he gave up the most HR's in memory. However, he still was ok for the most part. He had a really rough stretch in the middle, but we've seen much worse out of our starters in recent memory. I think we forget that across MLB the "average starter" has more in common with Kutter Crawford than we give him credit for. The one thing that he was able to do was post, to use Cora's terminology. For better or worse, he was banged up and still managed to pitch 33 games to lead MLB. At times in '23 and early on in '24, he looked like he could be a reliable mid rotation guy. I don't know if we have enough information to definitively say that he has no shot of ever getting there.

    It's the epitome of Spring Training. He was running hard to 3b and got picked off by the pitcher. Why get caught in a rundown and risk injury in a meaningless game? It's not like he was lollygagging, it just wasn't worth the contested slide or rundown at that point. I'm sure Cora agrees.

    Arias needs to hit outside of the FCL, but I could see that happening. I think Arias is limited by his defensive issues and may be kept down a bit, unless the overall farm is kind of slagging. I'm still very high on Johanfran and if his defense gets better, he may peak higher than his older brother. I think Castro and Jordan are both trade fodder. Valera should jump up significantly the way Perales did back in the day. I kind of agree with Dobbins and need to see it over the longer term, but I like his attitude and what I've heard from him. Cason is a huge unknown. I like the ball of clay that Tolle is, but any draftee is a huge question mark.

    The problem was that people were saying "well I don't think it will be an issue" and some posters were all over them saying "where are your sources on that?" or whatever. We all have our own opinions on this stuff. None of us know for sure. Even relying on sports radio guys for the "inside baseball" stuff will lead you astray most of the time. Until Devers actually flipped out more than just saying "I want to play 3b," there was little reason to turn the molehill into a mountain and rundown other posters for not being concerned about it. It's ok to have differing opinions. I think we all just need to remember to not be jagoffs about it towards each other.

    Per statcast, he has 210 career HR's and only 170 of those would have been a HR at Fenway. I'm not sure how much the Monster will help. If anything, he could get a bump in doubles. He came from HOU which is a better HR park for RHB than Fenway per park factors, but worse in all other measures. I'm not going to get too worked up over ST results even though Bregman is typically a very slow starter (April is his worst career month by OPS, had a 577 OPS in April in '24).
  22. mvp 78
    I think him being a current bad defender at one position and dabbling in others is how he finds his long term home.
  23. mvp 78
    Now this is an article that speaks to me. Love it. I don't think he necessarily has to be a launch angle guy as it doesn't work for everyone. He's always had a terrible launch angle and a bigger concern is his poor K rate (31.6% career) and BB rate (3.7% career). If he could just take a walk once in a while and continue to hit the ball hard, however it gets into play, he'll be fine.

    The best path forward for Grissom is a UTIL guy who ends up finding a permanent position in a few years IMO.
  25. mvp 78
    Need to field a AAA team and every once in a while need to call up a AAAA guy to pitch for a few days before they are DFA'd.
