    Also, do they only need one RHB now? That's a surprise to me!
  2. mvp 78
    Ref can't play OF. He's really DH only. Did you discuss his life decision with him directly?

    Opening Day Payroll: 18: 233M 19: 236M 20: 200M (prorated) 21: 180M 22: 206M 23: 181M 24: 171M Certainly feels like they've cut the budget! The last time they were under 170M was 2014, but they ended up within 5M of the CBT by year end. Not sure they'll get there this time.

    Abreu and O'Neilll are perfect platoon partners.
  5. mvp 78
    Last year, Soler and Gurriel got 3/42. That's probably about what O'Neilll should get considering his injury history and how the Sox would play him going forward.
  6. mvp 78
    He got the internal brace procedure and the recovery is 10-12 months unlike full TJS.

    Congrats South Side, you are better than Queens!

    Boiled crap since they won the WS in '18.

    I'd give the edge to Slaten. Whitlock could be a nice bulk innings guy like he was a few years ago and manage his appearances. Martin would still be a setup guy IMO. Hendriks is most likely a middle reliever as his stuff isn't there anymore. Guerrero has been decent, but I'd let him grow into a setup role for now.

    Realistic View: I have no idea what the roster will look like next season. They just might run back virtually the same team as this year, but with Giolito.
  11. mvp 78
    Meidroth?
  12. mvp 78
    Mayer will not be on the Opening Day roster. He's further behind that the other big 4. Teel and Anthony have the inside track to making the roster out of ST IMO.

    "My worst fear for this offseason, which was hinted at by Craig Breslow in his most recent comments, is that the Red Sox are so confident in their young players that they feel they don't need to spend in free agency or aggressively pursue the trade market." That's been my fear going back to last offseason. John Henry is putting too much on these young players coming up. Not all of them will work out. Too many of them are offensive players. Watch his appearance at the end of Moneyball to see the future of the Sox. He wants the real estate empire and a cheap payroll. Unfortunately, that needle isn't so easy to thread. This year felt like another punt year going into it. I have a sinking feeling about next season already. I don't think there will be playoffs. I think there will be a lot of fun players to watch, but we're back to "wait 'til next year."

    Feel free to find a different one, pumpsie. Nothing is stopping you except habit.

    We made it. .500…
  16. mvp 78
    Will be interesting to see what Priester has. Pepiot has been pretty fire this year. Sox batters should provide him with lots of k’s.
  17. mvp 78
    How is Grissom hitting higher than Abreu? Wong as the cleanup hitter?
  18. mvp 78
    One win to get .500 and third place for the year.
  19. mvp 78
    He treats the Sox as a real estate venture now. As long as the baseball isn't killing the real estate portion, he doesn't care.
  20. mvp 78
    I'm not so sure I'd even protect Jhostynxon. He's a good prospect, but didn't have really great success at AA. It's probably a year too early to protect him. I think a bigger concern is do they protect Monegro? Is there a team that looks at him and just stashes him in their pen? Castro, Blaze, Gambrell and the others don't get protected. Dobbins does.
  21. mvp 78
    Jose Ramirez is currently at 38 2B/38 HR/40 SB. 40/40/40 has only been done once before.

    https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/01/29/boston-red-sox-nesn-tv-ratings NESN's ratings for Sox games have cratered with the recent Sox woes. The attendance per game is 3,000 less than it was in 2019 and earlier. Now, the seats are being filled with out of towners. Eventually, that will dry up too.

    Detmers could be a change of scenery guy who needs to ditch his horrible 4 seamer. Winckowski didn't buy into the Sox pitching strategy and should be on the chopping block. I think Detmers still has more value than Winck.
  25. mvp 78
    Castillo is still a good pitcher, but he's not the guy he used to be if you look at Statcast and compare him to previous seasons. When he's away from Safeco, he becomes Kutter Crawford.
