    Mother, happy birthday to Sox legends Michael Kopech, Jose Peraza and Babe Danzig. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/danziba01.shtml

    And just a reminder that it is still EARLY. Last year at this time, Corbin Caroll had 0.0 fWAR. He ended with 4.0. Bregman had 0.0 fWAR and ended with 4.2. Vlad had 0.0 and ended with 5.4. On 4/30/24, Houck and Crawford were tied in leading the league in fWAR for pitchers at 1.5. Houck was outpitching Skubal at that point. BOS was 2nd in pitching fWAR and looked like it could do no wrong. Ceddanne was a negative WAR guy!

    I was worried about a slow start with the bat, not the glove.

    Here's Gio's game log from this year:

    Dobbins has looked strong in his MLB outings. In his AAA outings? Not as much. However, in AAA outings where he's been a starter and NOT a piggy back, he's looked good. Maybe he's just not a good relief option?
  6. mvp 78
    Not even at Memorial Day yet! Hard to really comment on approach changes other than to say "Sox are in 2nd place."
  7. mvp 78
    I think a lot of us believe Raffy could be a good 1b as he was relatively athletic over at 3b. I could see him doing a pretty good job at picking bad throws at 1b.

    Pete Abraham isn't an "insider." Even from the article: "not to nitpick, but wouldn't the Red Sox rather have Story around in the case that Bregman opts out?" There's enough room to get Mayer on the roster at some point and rotate him in. Call him up June 1, or whenever the Super Two date is, and option Hamilton.

    It took Buehler 5 months to get right last season before he pitched well in the playoffs. I don't think it'll be pretty for Gio this year.

    Maybe the White Sox thing is the bigger surprise here, but even so the 2024 Sox got manhandled by the White Sox. If I picked my 3 surprises it would be: 1. How far Houck fell off. I could have seen him dropping to a mid rotation guy, but maybe not losing a rotation spot. It's been really ugly. 2. Devers leading the league in K's AND BB's. Really wild ride for Mr Toad here. 3. Nine throwing errors from Breggie/Story/Campbell/Romy already. Maybe 1B defense is underrated in today's MLB?

    Red Sox go oppo 18.4%. League Average is 17.7%. Red Sox pull 29%. League Average is 30.8%. They actually pull less than other teams.

    TOR proceeds to give up 5 HR's. 😍 They are now 30th in MLB in HR/9 for pitching.
  13. mvp 78
    Since I looked this AM, SoxProspects made the following roster updates for GRE: DH: Ehrhard>Brannon 1B: Brannon>Lugo 2B: Alcantara>Zanetello SS: Zanetello>Arias 3B: Lugo>Alcantara Basically, Ehrhard is benched (hitting horribly) and the defense is realigned.
  14. mvp 78
    I don't know how much room there is in the OF for Zenetello with the OFers they already have (Taylor, Bleis, Rodriguez, Ehrhard). Honestly, Zanetello should probably be in Salem anyway.
  15. mvp 78
    Until Casas really gets going, this should be the lineup.
  16. mvp 78
    2 less games played and still more losses than the Sox. Arguably a MUCH worse team. Sox 533 win % (86 win pace) TOR 464 win % (75 win pace)
  17. mvp 78
    Seems like he has Cora's ear per the Netflix doc. Future coach?
  18. mvp 78
    That team was just toast after the deadline.
  19. mvp 78
    AI calculated it wrong for Google. It's about $4M. You either have to get rid of dead money, guys on the injured list, or include them in the total number of players.
  20. mvp 78
    He was hitting 580 on 5/5/23 too. A slow start isn't new for him.
  21. mvp 78
    3 less wins -27 differential xW/L of 11-17 5-10 Away 95 Runs is third lowest in AL (tied with White Sox) 29th in HR 28th in BB% 29th in ISO 29th in HR/9 (pitchers)
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think many people projected him to get 0 BB's in his last 142 PA's of '24.
  23. mvp 78
    Blue Jays have been pretty awful. Sox need to go for a sweep here and get some early season momentum.
  24. mvp 78
    Kiermaier had 6.9 bWAR in '15? I don't think I've looked at his numbers in a while.
  25. mvp 78
    The last CFer to do it: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/buxtoby01.shtml Had a 5.0 bWAR season and it mostly came from defense (22 DRS, 28 OAA). People on here say that JBJ was the greatest CFer they've ever seen, but he never had metrics like that. I didn't watch enough 2017 Twins to compare. Kiermaier was always comparable if not better IMO.
