    3 years is great. We’ll see about the opt outs. If he leaves after this year… well… bye…
  2. mvp 78
    Dobbins came out of nowhere last season and has more to prove. We'll see what he can do this year now that there is more spotlight on him and he's only a call away from the show.

    JH that bobs his head around while looking at his watch a la Winter Weekend. SK that jingles keys in his right arm rather than bobbles his head. Trevor Story where each part of the body jiggles separately. Casas that slowly goes in and out of downward dog like a drinking bird toy. Cora that is just constantly shrugging his shoulders up and down. Bloom bobblehead that has a Breslow nametag on it. Chapman that bobbles two sharpshooters like Yosemite Sam.

    Let's see how the Sox can mess this one up!
  5. mvp 78
    Seems like it. As long as it's only one! The second one is the tougher one to come back from.
  6. mvp 78
    Don't start that trend. We'd have 75% less posts here!

    Criswell and Fitts are better 7 and 8 depth options than we've had in a LOOOOONG time.
  8. mvp 78
    Me either until you mentioned that he missed a bunch of time.

    We had six starters in Spring Training last season! We were down two by the end of April in '24. Will they all make it to Opening Day this time around? IDK. Better to have extra arms just in case which is why Breslow wants everyone stretched out.

    The Dodgers attendance is good for now, but it's up about 10k per game from where it was a decade ago. They HAD to do promotions to get crowds to capacity. The Sox don't. The Dodgers keep their fans happy be putting a winning team on the field. Not sure providing a souvenir cup is going to make them leave any happier than if they left empty handed. More likely, the cup is a reminder when they are at home to buy tickets in the future to come back when they see it in their cupboard. Clearly, the Sox don't have any issues reminding fans to come back to Fenway year after year.

    I feel more confident about Buehler only because he actually pitched last season. Maybe he was able to shake off the rust in '24 and is ready to be a bit better this time around. Gio may take a while to get his feet under him.

    He was definitely seen as an innings eater prior to the injury. Now, I'm not really sure if he can do that. He's at the bottom of the rotation for me. They have a club option for 14M if he doesn't pitch 140+ innings this year.

    He was decent at the start of '23 (2.9 bWAR in 21 GS). It fell apart when he switched teams and had personal issues.
  14. mvp 78
    From BA: In the summer of 2017, one inning into his professional career after being taken out of Florida Gulf Coast as a 16th-round pick, Kutter Crawford experienced elbow discomfort. It was enough to shut the righthander down for the duration of his first pro summer, but not enough for surgery. But he was pitching through discomfort that steadily grew and ultimately forced him to have Tommy John surgery after the 2019 season. During rehab, he had more discomfort and had a second surgery to remove bone spurs in his elbow which pushed his rehab out further.

    Crawford is an extreme fly ball pitcher 7th percentile GB rate. Bello is a heave ground ball pitcher 86th percentile GB rate. The reason that more balls that are put into play are outs for Crawford than Bello are because (a) the Sox IF defense has been poor which hurts Bello and (b) the Sox OF defense has been above average to great which helps Crawford.
  16. mvp 78
    What is an injury that causes pitchers to miss substantial time over the course of multiple seasons? TJS!!!
  17. mvp 78
    I believe he's supposed to be a better defensive catcher, but he couldn't throw anyone out last year. Blocks and framing were fine.
  18. mvp 78
    Bello gets the edge because he got the extension last year and had a strong second half. Does he deserve a rotation spot no matter what? No.
  19. mvp 78
    Sox have no problem filling the seats so there's no reason to load up the schedule on giveaways that are kind of tacky IMO. Is anyone really going to a game to get a sling bag to begin with?
  20. mvp 78
    Fielding Run Value -1 per Statcast He's not a complete dog like Wong was last year.
  21. mvp 78
    Pitchers and Catchers report today.
  22. mvp 78
    Buehler was pictured by the Sox PR team in camp today.
  23. mvp 78
  24. mvp 78
    They need to find a better defensive catcher long term IMO.
  25. mvp 78
    Robertson should get a deal similar to Jansen's 1/10.
