  1. So "freakish" that it happened to old man Xander a few days ago.
  2. In MiLB, they have to be accurate going forward due to the automatic k zone. No more fudging of the numbers.
  3. With Winckowski, it may be more about following direction. He was the one squeaky wheel who wasn't really taking Bailey's lead apparently.
  4. From SP: Field: Will start at shortstop but may need to move to second or third base eventually. He's now built like a running back too.
  5. Moon probably traded Casas and Raffy for some prospects with upside while eating 80% of Raffy's salary. Good deal for the Sox though!
  6. Story was great at 2b, just put him there again and keep the franchise SS where he's projected to be.
  7. Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Week on TalkSox!
  8. Did they trade Raffy too??????????????
  9. Not sure Story's arm can really handle 3B either.
  10. Well, he ain't on the team anymore.
  11. Cespedes hit a GS to put the Sox on top of the FCL Orioles today. Gerardo Rodriguez also got a tater.
  12. It was not reported. He sat only Fri-Sat.
  13. Never was able to get his walks under control.
  14. Wong's xWOBA is below league average and about 30 points higher than his previous two seasons. I think his xWOBA is less than his WOBA because of his 400 BABIP, but having metrics that are bottom third (exit velo, barrel, hard hit, chase). His bb rate is bottom 3% in the league. Really bad.
  15. If Story is healthy, Grissom being a UTIL guy isn't the end of the world.
  16. I vaguely remember him having a walkoff or scoring on a walkoff as well.
  17. Blocks Above Average: McGuire 0 Wong -7 (last place) Framing Runs: McGuire 0 Wong -1 Poptime: McGuire 1.96 (26th out of 61) Wong 1.94 (19th) Stealing Runs Above Average: McGuire 1 (last year -1) Wong 1 (last year 5) McGuire was banged up and his defense suffered last year. Wong had some arm injuries this spring and has been slow to get control of the running game so far. If Wong wasn't so horrible at framing, I think there wouldn't be a long term question about him here. Wong 392 WOBA, 307 xWOBA. The metrics aren't super thrilled about his offense going forward.
  18. I'm not sure it changes anything because it's only 1.5 months into the season.
  19. Downs made the big leagues. He even hit a HR for BOS.
  20. Chris Sale has a higher career OPS with BOS than Vaughn Grissom. Should have kept him and let him play 2B on non-throwing days.
  21. Bloom was going to trade him for Seth Lugo and then give Lugo a 3 year extension.
  22. I see it making sense to do fire sales when you have guys with expiring deals. Now, the only like that are Refsnyder (team option), O'Neilll, Martin, Pivetta, Jansen. I wouldn't move the other guys unless you are bowled over with an offer. I would never say that a player is untouchable, but the trade would certainly have to be in the Sox favor to pull the trigger.
  23. This level? Probably not. A fairly valuable level that keeps him starting at LF/CF? Sure.
  24. I'm not advocating for it unless you are getting a really great return, which I don't think they'd get.
  25. Easy no on Manoah, Gray and Detmers. Would have to think about Gore and Lodolo.
