    We love our MiLB Rule 5 guys here!

    No, because they still need to call plays at the plate, foul tips, check swings, etc.

    It may be awkward right now in Spring Training, but it worked really well from what I saw in AAA last season. Meidroth had a few challenges when I watched and it went really quick. If it takes away the k zone from my screen, I'm all for it.

    Campbell is more MLB ready, but not to play SS. If Story goes down, it's more likely that Bregman slides to SS and Campbell plays 2B IMO.
  5. mvp 78
    Well, Campbell isn't a SS, so... I mean, he should only play 2B/3B/OF.
  6. mvp 78
    Why? Even Lou said on the broadcast that he has stuff to work on and needs time in AAA. He has platoon concerns and can't hit offspeed stuff. This is well known. If they are saying it on NESN, it's no longer just me talking about it as some fringe conspiracy.

    I'm going to stop you right there. He was EXTENDED at 7M per year for an untested player. It was a horrible decision. No other bench player with one year's experience has that CBT hit. He's being paid as a STARTER. He's being extended because they assumed that he was going to do well in his ARB years (he wouldn't have) and wanted to protect him from leaving in FA. It's the one deal that makes me really question what the hell Breslow was doing last season.

    He stupidly played through a shoulder injury in '23 and saw his numbers plummet. He should have missed more time, but didn't know when to tell the trainers that he was hurting.
  9. mvp 78
    I try not to have takes on A ball relievers.
  10. mvp 78
    He was 235 last season. Was it a problem last spring?
  11. mvp 78
    Trayce Thompson, who led of for BOS today, had a 43%/13% in 23.

    Manfred is already threatening a lockout in 2027, so I don’t think we’re getting a strike before then.
  13. mvp 78
    The title of his column was "Wild Devers Trade Ideas" and included deals for Vlad Jr, Trout, Castellanos, Castillo, Muncy and others. It's called throwing crap at the wall to get people to look at ads.
  14. mvp 78
    I have no idea what he is or isn't thinking, so I'll just be happy he's here for this year and see what happens later on. This has the makings of a very one and done year with this team considering the status of impactful guys like Gio, Bregman, Buehler, Chapman, Hendriks, Story (if only).

    Maybe you sit him against a really great lefty, but I wouldn't put him in a strict platoon. If he's up, he's close to a full timer to me. I'd rather he start vs LHP than Abreu.
  18. mvp 78
    If you move Devers off 3b, but Bregman leaves this offseason, what's the plan? Campbell? Grissom? Mayer? FA?
  19. mvp 78
    So that he's one and done? Or just enough juice that he's better, but not so much that he leaves in a few years. Or so much juice that they win a WS and who cares if he leaves?

    When he has tried to alter it in the past, the results have been worse. He doesn't know how to be patient. He has zero pitch recognition and will take pitches right down the middle of the plate just to take a pitch. He did it in MiLB, he did it when I saw him in Spring Training last year (take two down the middle and k on a slider away). He's a guy who just needs to be aggressive and rely on his athleticism for better or worse.
  22. mvp 78
    He's a gold glove caliber platoon OFer on a cheap contract. Sign me up.
  23. mvp 78
    A lot of the players have said that even during and after the 3b talk that they vibes are good. Threatening your most expensive player with the Disqualified List really tanks all those vibes. It's always nice to reminded that I'm more level headed than most sports journalists even though some of my posts are pretty out there. Put Cotillo, McAdam or any number of beat writers in as CBO and the Red Sox become what we are seeing in the South Side of Chicago.

    He went from out of baseball to independent league league to being rushed through the Sox system into MLB appearances in 2024. If he never pitches again, it's still quite a success for him. As a LHP who throws hard, he might stick around a while and get another shot somewhere. I don't know if it'll be here.

    Wow, I don't have to put up with pollys lke you putting words in my mouth! 😡 This place is unbelievable sometimes.
