    Last year, he was better than Christopher Morel, Noelvi Marte, Ramon Urias, Jose Miranda, Nick Senzel, Jeimer Candelario, Jake Burger and a bunch of others who would have been worse if they got the same playing time as Devers.

    1B/20 Just keep trotting him out there like they did with Yaz.
  3. mvp 78
    David Hamilton can not play 3B.
  4. mvp 78
    Why are you trying to taint the water with a 100M Pivetta deal?
  5. mvp 78
    So it's Soto or Burnes & Bregman basically? Bregman is looking for 300M! Pass!
  6. mvp 78
    Sox are "in" on Soto. They are clearly more "in" than they were on Yamamoto last year. I still don't believe they land him. They should, but they won't.
  7. mvp 78
    You listed a lot of guys, but I'll just mention these two. Wong is already in the process of being replaced. He will be 29 next season. Tek may have been a late bloomer, but his defense wasn't really a work in progress when he became a fulltime player in '99. Wong doesn't have it yet and never will. Casas may have a good 162 game line, but he can't stay healthy for 162 and is horrible defensively. With those vaunted stats, he's only a 2 bWAR per 162 guy. He may not be a top 15 1B in the league

    If Walker is pitching better, the Phillies won't want to trade him.
  9. mvp 78
    Walker is probably DFA'able at this point. Masa potentially has value left to the right team. Masa's contract is bad, but it's not the worst in the game.
  10. mvp 78
    Story had a 790 OPS and played great defense after coming back from injury. He's going to play a full season and be above 4 bWAR.
  11. mvp 78
    Soto is a little better than the guys last season. Snell learned from last year's mistake apparently. Chapman did too.
  12. mvp 78
    If Adames is a Plan B for Soto, it's a horrible plan to begin with.
  13. mvp 78
    He started the season on the IL due to shoulder soreness. He was shutdown midseason due to blisters on his fingers as his new splitter grip wasn't working for him anymore. Maybe him being healthy and seeing a good side session where he can get that splitter low in the zone would show improvement? He's not exactly a guy you can count on. A solid return would have him resembling Kutter Crawford. Do the Sox need two of them?
  14. mvp 78
    Why bring in Adames when Mayer, Campbell and others are ready and willing in AAA? Use the money on actual needs rather than just whoever is sitting in FA.
  15. mvp 78
    Walker was one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball last year. Maybe you just throw him in the pen as the long man and hope Bailey can turn him back into a 6th man?
  16. mvp 78
    Not sure the CHW want 4 40 man guys for Crochet.
  17. mvp 78
    If he can just lay off sliders 2 ft out of the zone it would be a huge improvement, yes.
  18. mvp 78
    Mets please.
  19. mvp 78
    Neither!
  20. mvp 78
    Just because I have money, doesn't mean I spend it on Alex Bregman.
  21. mvp 78
    Casas, Abreu, Rafaela, Bello, Fitts, Slaten Duran, Devers, DHan, Wong, Whitlock, Houck, Crawford Fitts listed anywhere is wild. We've had less than one full season of RULE 5 PICK Slaten. David Hamilton was on most people's DFA list prior to Opening Day. Wong is a terrible catcher with a mediocre bat. Whitlock can't stay healthy. Crawford peaks as a #3 starter I guess. Bello is young, but not getting a lick better. Rafaela is a bench guy they extended because they wanted to show fans they were actually working last offseason. Cooper Criswell is more of a core player than a lot of the guys listed. He earned an additional option year and Sox can have him through 2029 (longer than Crawford, Houck, Whitlock, Wong, Casas, Duran).
  22. mvp 78
    Yeah, the closest comp I have to Kristian Campbell is Rogers Hornsby.
  23. mvp 78
    God, I hope so! Seems like it might be a slow day! Bello: not CORE! Isn't improving at all! Casas: not CORE! Can't even stay on the field! Abreu: not CORE! Can't be CORE if he's the first player added to every trade without anyone complaining!

    The ascension was even quicker than Mookie's. Mookie used all of 2013 for A ball and the AFL and was a top 10 SoxProspects guy at the end of 2013 jumping 43 spots. He was then called up for good after the trade deadline in 2014. Campbell was out of the top 30 prior to Spring Training 2024, but was put there because of the reports they heard from the scouts they get a long with. He's now neck and neck with Roman Anthony who many think is the #1 prospect in MiLB. That was in less than one calendar year vs 18 months for Mookie. Mookie was younger and had an amazing run and I'm not comparing the two. I'm just giving Campbell proper kudos for what he did this year.
  25. mvp 78
    CF yes. K% probably not. His 26% isn't that far off from his 22% he had in AAA. I'm not sure how he'll ever get that much lower against good pitchers that know how to attack him. If he becomes a passive hitter, he'll be a worse hitter IMO.
