    Justin Gonzales with a stance like a MIFer not a 6'5" 1B/LF/RFer.
  2. mvp 78
    He also would have been good enough from 06-11 that you wouldn't have had to sign Lugo.
  3. mvp 78
    Absolutely raking for the Phillies this Spring: 934 OPS and might make the Opening Day roster off of a MiLB contract.
  4. mvp 78
    Maybe the Sox think outside of the box and ring up A700's guy Jonathan Arauz to reprise his role?
  5. mvp 78
    I'd consider holding off on trading Arias for now. He's apparently made some gains this offseason. Let's see what he can do this year. If Breslow wanted a good closer, he could have signed one in FA.

    That's ruining the return for Casas. Why not just trade Casas and open up the 1B spot for Devers? The DH spot is there for Masa. Sign Bregman for 3B and the Sox make more sense. I don't understand this team sometimes.

    I think Ottavino, Moore and Adams are probably gone. Not sure Ottavino showed anything and Adams was already sent to MiLB camp. Fulmer and Toro probably start in AAA and see some action in BOS this year.
  8. mvp 78
    It does not! If I was Masa's agent, I'd be sending him to the MLBPA.

    Someone needed to be traded this offseason even if for pennies on the dollar.

    Field: Instinctual defender with fluid actions. Looks like he is gliding on the field. Soft hands and solid footwork. Moves well and has plenty of range for shortstop. Confident defender; will take a flashy infield. Some long-term concerns about his ability to stick at shortstop as he matures. Organization appeared poised to get him some reps at third base midway through 2024, but injuries, including the one that eventually ended his season after July 30, effectively scuttled those plans. Potential above-average defender at short for the foreseeable future. Arm: Plus arm, plenty for shortstop. Confident in his arm and able to make all the throws with plenty of zip.

    Trevor's arm strength is towards the bottom of the league at SS. The funny thing is that most people don't want Hamilton over there because of his arm, but he's top 25 for that position in arm strength.
  12. mvp 78
    But we could be dragging out a 40 year old Rob Refsnyder to platoon for 30 games at DH!!!?!?!??!
  13. mvp 78
    I have Roman Anthony batting instead of Refsnyder playing the field. I'm not worried about Abreu, the 4th OFer.
  14. mvp 78
    Refsnyder is RHB off the bench which is a fine role for him.

    I disagree with post-surgery Story being better. When he was younger, sure.
  17. mvp 78
    Masa is a good baseball player in a bad situation (team that doesn't want him and a ballpark that doesn't suit him).
  18. mvp 78
    I don't think Mayer profiles best at 2b and would prefer Story 2b/Mayer SS if both are playing.
  19. mvp 78
    Mayer
  20. mvp 78
    Oh, then you do kind of see my point. Anthony definitely makes sense on the roster right now. If they are going to start Campbell at 2b, they should be starting Anthony as well.
  21. mvp 78
    He deserves another season to show what he's got. I wouldn't dump him in a trade just because.
  22. mvp 78
    We used to have a system that had NO starting rotation prospects. Not even guys that profiled as back end 5th starter guys. Now: Priester Fitts Perales Dobbins Fitts Tolle Sandlin Early Valera This isn't even counting guys with upside like Clarke, Paez, Monegro and Reyes. Definitely the best since 2015. Could argue it's the best since the Lester, Hansen, Buchholz, Bowden, Pauley, Alvarez group from 2006.
  23. mvp 78
    Hamilton had a 102 wRC+ against RHP, but a dreadful 43 wRC+ against LHP. They may try to Frankenstein's Monster a 2b out of Hamilton and Romy with their splits as a temporary stop gap until Campbell is fully ready. They may just take their lumps with Campbell? If they are going that route, why not also call up Anthony and fully complete the OF and just go with Duran/Rafaela/Anthony out there? Rip the bandaid off.
  24. mvp 78
    Rumbling about the Sox wanting to put him on the IL to start the year because he can't field? Don't like it!
  25. mvp 78
    Hard to say if it was a fluke since his previous sample size is so low. His FIP was about the same as his ERA and xFIP was only slightly higher. Nothing jumps out as lucky when you look at his BABIP and HR/9 or compare his bb/9 and k/9 to previous years (including AAA appearances).
