    The starting pitching was 3rd in fWAR through May 31st and 2nd through April 30th. The rotation was fantastic early on.
  2. mvp 78
    I think bench spots can be up for grabs too. We've seen guys like Chang, Tapia, Arauz and others make the team in part due to Spring Training.
  3. mvp 78
    This guy's pitch mix is interesting enough that I think he could rise pretty fast in the org the way Early did. He's being developed as a starter, but may end up moving to closer at some point.

    In general, what are your thoughts on Spring Training results. Can they turn a suspect into a real player?
  5. mvp 78
    Not if the 60IL guy is injured.
  6. mvp 78
    If they DFA Masa, they are punting on Japanese FAs for the foreseeable future.

    Of the 10, the only one I can take much out of right now is Richard Fitts. Him blowing gas seems really great. I just hope that the velo stays and that there are no adverse affects like we've seen with other pitchers who have started to max out and then miss 18 months.

    His HR numbers won't improve at Fenway in comparison to Minute Maid. His hits and doubles may though if you go by Statcast park factors and what Statcast says about his career HR projections at Fenway.
  9. mvp 78
    Small sample size. I need to see him lay off pitches OOZ for a few months in the season before I'm a believer. Two weeks of Spring Training is meaningless to me.

    Cora shuts down 6 man rotation BECAUSE OF injury issues. If Bello isn't ready. If Crawford is injured. There's no reason to force a 6 man rotation on an MLB team. You're only adding AAA guys to reduce the amount of starts that Houck and Crochet get.

    Scutaro was a fun little player. One of the few bright spots from the 2010 season. Too bad he only played one year for the Sox.
  12. mvp 78
    Do Spring Training W/L records matter?
  13. mvp 78
    The problem with Romero is that he's no longer a contact guy. He's now a power guy who has eschewed a contact heavy approach. He also doesn't walk very much and seems to be destined for 2B.
  14. mvp 78
    Yeah, and for anyone on using a dark background, it's hard to read.
  15. mvp 78
    Nelson Cruz put up good numbers for a long time and never got paid much.

    Interested in a few DSL prospects this year.
  20. mvp 78
    He throws left handed. Maybe he'll wind up in the pen?!?!?
  21. mvp 78
    No.
  22. mvp 78
    He has never had a save in his life. None of the other projections (ZiPS, OOPSY, Steamer, ATC, etc) have him pitching at all out of the pen.
  23. mvp 78
    2 Saves!!! Now that's a projection we can count on!!!!!!!!!!
  24. mvp 78
    Then why extend Raffy?
  25. mvp 78
    I was just talking about your point where you said it's hard to ruin a season in April. It's easy to ruin a season in April IMO. You can really dig yourself in a hole. Bregman is a very poor starter historically. He may have a bad April again. Not sure if it will contribute to a bad W/L this year.
