    He doesn't lose a year, he gets a full season if he comes in first of second regardless of when he comes up (i.e. if the Sox hold him down until June, but he balls out he still earns a full year of service time). Since he wasn't on the roster early enough, the Sox are not eligible for the pick for Roman only Kristian. 🫣 I was ineloquently trying to say that holding him down now doesn't necessarily get you the 7 years that a lot of people are saying it does. The Sox lose that 7th year of control if he comes in 1st or 2nd.

    It's three LHB starting OFers, enough to platoon Rafaela somewhere. If he's also backing up IF instead of Hamilton, I'm fine with it.

    From the CBA on service time and ROY voting:
  4. mvp 78
    I don't know, it doesn't seem like he's moved the lineup a bunch. You think they would have made more maneuvers if they were strictly going by metrics.
  5. mvp 78
    Yes. I think he's not a great fielder to begin with, at least it's not his strength. He needs to stay at one position and develop it while he's learning to be a MLBer. With a guy like Mayer, I think you could float him between 2b/SS/3b because he's a naturally gifted fielder. Anthony, I just plop him at LF and never move him again.

    1. I believe the baseball calendar is more quirky than how you think and that the actual day isn't until May. It's not just look at the Sox calendar and use your fingers. 2. If Roman is top 2 in ROY voting, he loses the extra year of service regardless of the day he's called up. This is why he should have been on the Opening Day roster to begin with.

    His lineups stink then.
  8. mvp 78
    The offensive lineup is a very weird construction. There are two DH's. There aren't openings for the two spots you have the best prospects in baseball. He should have either traded Casas or Masa as well as Duran or Rafaela. The roster would make more sense. I think having two open spots for 3 prospects can let you rotate them in (especially when Campbell is a 2b/OF guy). The pitching has been ok. I think they should have left Dobbins on the roster and not pitched Newcomb again. I don't know what they'll do with Gio because he's looking like butt in MiLB.

    When Cora has a team of veterans, he doesn't seem to get as cute with the roster. I think he's good at managing people. I like his in game moves. I wonder if he's getting handed the lineups from someone else.
  10. mvp 78
    I think the competition at AA isn't the same as it was a few years ago. Ever since they got rid of short season, the MiLB levels have been a little wonky. It's not as easy to promote a top prospect from AA (see Jackson Holiday). The learning curve is a little different now and AAA may be a required step IMO.

    Ok Breggie
  13. mvp 78
    Eww...
  14. mvp 78
    I just looked at it right now?
  15. mvp 78
    His 531 OPS after his first 14 games showed you he was ready? Interesting.
  16. mvp 78
    Before STL 398 OPS STL 1824 OPS (He's back! No injury concerns everyone!) After STL 586 OPS
  17. mvp 78
    I always get to Campbell's spot to figure out what madness Cora is up to. 😔
  18. mvp 78
    Is he on the 60 day?
  19. mvp 78
    At least YOUR concern is valid.
  20. mvp 78
    If they trade Mayer, they better hope Story stays healthy. I think he's unlikely to opt out, but there is that risk. There's a much higher risk of (a) him being hurt for the majority of the remainder of the contract and (b) the prospects behind Mayer not being ready when Story's contract being up. If you're trading for Alcantara, you can deal Duran/Casas/Rafaela plus Franklin Arias and get the deal done. I don't think they necessarily have to trade Roman and Marcelo to make further moves.
  21. mvp 78
    You lead TalkSox in not being able to take a joke.
  22. mvp 78
    Anthony has shown himself to be a capable AAA bat for over 50 games now. Mayer has only been capable for less than a week. Need to pump the brakes a little bit on Mayer. He may be capable, but they don't have to rush him either as there isn't a direct need.
  23. mvp 78
    Maybe Woo and Triston can be traded mid-at bat.
  24. mvp 78
    Sox weren't allowed to sweep because it would have put another opponent below .500 and hurt their strength of schedule!!!
  25. mvp 78
    Right, like the starter is better by ERA if the reliever gets the starter's guys out, but worse if the reliever lets everyone in. But we must listen to THE MLB on this: Earned runs is the key counting statistic used in ERA, the most widely accepted barometer of a pitcher's success.
