  1. If Bregman and Devers were swapped in the order it wouldn't bother me in the least. Maybe they think Devers provides better protection to Duran? IDK.
  2. The theory (I don't feel like binging the articles) is that the #3 hitter comes up the most amount of times with 2 outs and no runner on than any other person in the order making it a less valuable position. You should want your best hitters hitting 1, 2, 4 and 5 I believe. 2 will also have more PA's in the year than the #4 hitter. If we believe Duran will be right in front of Devers at 1 and have a decent OBP, having Devers right after him isn't a bad idea. I'd want my best hitters getting as many PA's in the season as possible.
  3. From FanGraphs today: One way to tell the difference between a baseball fan who has a life and a true sicko is whether they have strong opinions on players who sign minor league contracts and attend spring training on a non-roster invite. So congratulations to all of us sickos who have opinions on Michael Fulmer, Robert Stock, et al.
  4. Fitts and Priester have the inside track and may not give it up.
  5. The highlights were certainly fun to see.
  6. If the Sox didn't have Priester/Fitts/etc. they'd be really in a tough spot right now. They only have an MLB quality rotation after losing 3 SP's because of the depth. Not many orgs could handle that.
  7. "You can't eat your cake and have it too" - Ted Kaczynski
  8. Cute that O'Neilll is listed as first. He's going to have a massive regression, especially in the part and his good luck with health will run out. Story is going to stay healthy for once put up bigger numbers than him this season.
  9. Regular baseball rules don't matter in Spring Training. In the MiLB games, you can even decide to end innings early, add extra outs if pitchers need to face another batter or two or let an MLB hitter hit 20 times in a game if you feel like it.
  10. Lance Lynn territory if one of the young guys doesn't look ready?
  11. Gibson's '24 is the best we could hope for out of Gio's '25, right?
  12. Looks like Fitts/Priester might be sticking around for a while.
  13. Since he's still unsigned, I'm going to ignore all the Sox bluster about them caring about pulled fly balls.
  14. Bres' first offseason had a significant whiff rate.
  15. The contract states that if he puts up less than 140 innings this year, the Sox have a club option on him for next season. Come on down 2026 Giolito!
  16. Rafaela can play SS, but shouldn't UNLESS he's in a UTIL role.
  17. Sogard also has some OF experience at the corners. Not ideal, but fine for injury replacement or whatever.
  18. Clark was a great player and is more deserving of the HOF than Baines. However, he was a shell of what he once was when he got to BOS. Nick Esasky hits the ball OVER the Citgo sign in '89 if he feels like it though.
  19. They probably just grab some shmoe off the waiver wire right before the season and he's the guy for two weeks while keeping Eaton and Thompson in AAA.
  20. Mine as well. This extension won't come cheap.
