    And in my original post I said he just needs to "stretch out those hot moments a bit longer." Seems true? That's what worked for him in '24!
  2. mvp 78
    A 100 game stretch in '24 is much different than having a good July, right? Like just compare the two seasons: '24 had one month over 800 OPS, '25 had three months over 800 OPS (all over 900).

    Bennett's velo was up to 97.6 this game. This is higher than it has been before. Changeup is his plus pitch.

    Roman sprint speed: 27.8 Kristian sprint speed: 27.2 🧐
  5. mvp 78
    I wouldn't put Early in the pen either. Tolle though...

    Roman is a better OFer and has always profiled that way. No reason to push him to DH to make room for KC.
  8. mvp 78
    So they'd put Sogard on the team instead?

    He had a crazy hot July, but was not great otherwise. Needs to stretch out those hot moments a bit longer.

    Sorry, moon.

    There is no need for Masa. Most of us agree on that. I think we are hoping for him to have a massive WBC and some other org takes a flier on him.

    Gladden has been doing broadcasts for the Twins for 26 years apparently.
  13. mvp 78
    He must have been plunked in the head a bunch.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fitting-jarren-duran-into-the-red-sox-outfield-puzzle/ Interesting note from FanGraphs write up on Duran: Over the past five seasons, lefties going oppo in Fenway have hit .403 and slugged .641, the highest marks of any permanent ballpark ... Lefties pulling the ball in Fenway hit .332 and slugged .624, not only lower than when they went oppo, but also rates that respectively rank 28th and 30th out of 32 ballparks. The article mentions that Duran fell back a bit last year as he increased his pull rate and wasn't playing towards Fenway's strengths. Also notes that his range fell off in '25 and that he struggled against breaking pitches more so than in previous years.

    For now. I think that eventually becomes Tolle's spot in the pen.
  16. mvp 78
    Monasterio
  17. mvp 78
    I wonder if they would send Oviedo to the pen (higher octane arm) and Crawford to WOO.
  18. mvp 78
    Wong, Masa, Duran, IKF, open spot. Unless you think they are going to use one of Duran's option years????
  19. mvp 78
    Duran plays one and sits one vs the LHP in CIN. I also think the order will change over time. Duran was the leadoff initially last season, before moving down later on. I think we'll see some adjustments after the first month or two.
  20. mvp 78
    IDK about Marcus Phillips. His risk as a reliever doesn't seem really big 4 to me. I like Valera as well, but he didn't really put it all together last season either. My big four: Witherspoon, Gonzales, Eyanson, Godbout

    If you offer him a QO, he probably takes it.
  23. mvp 78
    If you're betting on character, why give Duran an extension? Who knows what kind of PR nightmare he brings to the team in the next 4 years.
  24. mvp 78
    Counting BOS only? Masa Abreu Monasterio Gray Gray Oviedo Weissert Watson
  25. mvp 78
    Looks like the Opening Day lineup to me.
