    If you wanted another reason to hate the rise of online gambling, here's Liam Hendriks' comments:

    Hindsight is always great at building teams.
  3. mvp 78
    Sox are 7th in runs with a black hole at cleanup. IDK. If Bregman hit 4th instead of 3rd, I'm not sure they rise further in the rankings.

    He's been hurt multiple times. Last year, Cora vented that it was taking him too long to come back from WOO. He does his own workout routine and doesn't follow Red Sox direction. It hasn't really helped his career either. Promoted in 2022, he's only earned 2.1 fWAR. He's an iconoclast and that doesn't work for the Boston Red Sox. He's not a guy you can count on or build around. He's shown he's more likely to be out or unproductive than a valuable member of the team.

    The OF being crowded isn't the worst problem in the world. However, with the Sox not meeting expectations, I believe out of the box thinking could get Anthony on the squad. He has a higher ceiling than Duran, Rafaela or Abreu.
  6. mvp 78
    I'm not sure he is the plan anymore!
  7. mvp 78
    Why should Cora rush to do it? He's got job security even if he stays at .500!
  8. mvp 78
    This guy doesn't even want to be promoted! Just wants to hang in AAA like Manny Ramirez did!!!

    If a hitter is near the top of chances with runners on base, they'd likely be near the top in RBI AND leaving runners on. As all old school ballplayers say "it's a game of failure where you succeed only 30% of the time." We've already mentioned the Sox have the worst cleanup numbers in the league.

    It took him 600 PA's to figure out AA pitching.
  11. mvp 78
    1. The extension would be cheap as he's a platoon guy. 2. Anthony doesn't want to be extended. 3. It's probably just moving on from Duran, which Alex has advocated for numerous times.
  12. mvp 78
    If you think about it, don't you want your hitters higher in the order so that they have a chance to hit more often (1st and 2nd)? The only other difference is the discussion about 3rd where there used to be a lot of value, but there is a belief that "this batter comes up more often with nobody on base and two outs so that position is a little less valuable." You could also say that it gets more PA's in a year than the cleanup hitter! IDK. I'm not too hard up about devaluing the three hole.
  13. mvp 78
    Off to a bad start IN AAA!!!!
  14. mvp 78
    I don't think he should be thrown into first base. He's barely even practiced there. While we jokingly say it's easy to play, it would be a bad decision to throw him out there without him really being ready for it. He at least had MiLB/college experience in CF.

    Sox like hard mode and/or don’t believe in day/night splits.
  17. mvp 78
    Campbell’s defense at 2b is excellent!
  18. mvp 78
    Are you sure you don't want to try to defend being a Jhostynxon superfan for 5 years? I was looking forward to that post! 😸
  19. mvp 78
    Instead of quote replying to the starting pitching portion, you replied solely to: "I keep hearing that he's trade bait, but I kinda want him as my 1B next season. 🫣" So your response of "yeah after 5 years" was very confusing!

    Story's Fldg Pct at SS in MiLB ROOK 915 Low A 949 High A 957 AA 954/963 AAA 976 It clearly takes a player a while to adjust to playing SS professionally AND the fields at the lower levels are awful. Campbell is not a good SS. He has a weak arm and poor range for SS. If he is struggling currently at 2b, how much worse would it get at SS?

    Fat Joe needs to get on stage with Big Pun's hologram.

    Stargell won in '79. 😫 Thunder would have known that as he's a huge Buccos fan now.
  24. mvp 78
    I just wanted to give a shout out to all the busted prospects out there. It's not your fault.
  25. mvp 78
    Jhostynxon didn't even pop until last year. There's no way he was advocating for him in '23 and '24 (much less longer) when he was the lesser prospect than Johanfran. I was just wondering if moon was confused and thought I was referring to someone else. I watched a ton of Salem games early on in '24 and the Garcia Bros were a real bright spot for that team. I can't take credit for being "on" him first or whatever since there were good reports about him in ST. He didn't even become a top 30 prospect until after April '24 for SoxProspects.
