    As of today, he has 6 K's, 0 H's, 2 BB's and a 67% k rate. Only 3 games though. Yorke is batting 350 with 844 OPS (0 HR) in 17 G since being traded.

    Whitlock looked great in ST. The guy who looked left behind was Bello.
  3. mvp 78
    Bello sinker 39.5% Houck sinker 316% They are just trying to get away from throwing the straight 4 seamer UNLESS the guy's repertoire really needs it or the 4 seamer is a really good one. Breslow wouldn't have taken away Randy Johnson's 4 seamer.
  4. mvp 78
    Dom Smith released.
  5. mvp 78
    The rotation started out as: Bello, Pivetta, Crawford, Whitlock, Houck
  6. mvp 78
    Pivetta: 6.8 Bello: 0 Houck: 1.7 Crawford: 29.2 Bello and Houck throw hard sinkers (5 at 96 or above last night for Houck, 10 at 96 or above last time out for Bello).
  7. mvp 78
    There have been a few guys that have passed through waivers. Sox seem uninterested in churning through more arms.
  8. mvp 78
    Saying "he tried to sabotage the rotation" isn't exaggeration though. It's a fabrication. If he said "signing Giolito was the worst decision since Sandoval" is an exaggeration.
  9. mvp 78
    Breslow probably deferred a lot of decisions the first Spring Training. I can't blame him. 165 guys he has to learn, not even including coaching staff and administrative folx.
  10. mvp 78
    My issue is that the statement, or a variation of, has been repeated so often that many people actually think the Sox don't throw 4 seamers anymore.
  11. mvp 78
    Unlike the Acolyte, Breslow won't be cancelled after one season.
  12. mvp 78
    How did the Newton Beacon rate Dan Duquette's performance in Damn Yankees?
  13. mvp 78
    You said "he tried to sabotage the rotation by giving away Sale." I don't know how else to take that, honestly. That's not the same as "his intent was to improve the rotation and not destroy it."
  14. mvp 78
    It's not me saying it, it's what the SoxProspects guys are hearing. I haven't seen him play one inning.
  15. mvp 78
    Pivetta: 47.8%, 50.6% '23 Bello: 3.4%, 20.6% '23 Houck: 0%, 9.8% '23 Crawford: 35.1%, 39.2% '23 It's not fair to say that they don't throw 4 seamers anymore. Guys with bad 4 seamers like Houck and Bello have greatly reduced the amount it's been thrown. Bello has started to tick it back up more recently as is more comfortable when it's in his arsenal. Houck seems better off without it. The decreases from other pitchers aren't a big deal IMO.

    Duran was at least athletic enough that there was a chance he could figure it out. Sox are already moving Cespedes off SS and probably to OF. Being out for the season hurts the evaluation though.
  17. mvp 78
    Mayer will flip to 3B at some point. I think he'll be fine there through his arb years or until a better SS comes along (not unhealthy Story). Cespedes is NOT a SS. He may not even be an IFer.
  18. mvp 78
    Grissom's throwing mechanics are what makes it a weird fit for 2B. It makes more sense for him to be a corner OF or 3B. He just can't turn a double play without it being Valdez-esque.
  19. mvp 78
    I would make sure to super two Anthony and Mayer. I'm not as concerned about Teel TBH. I'd still put Story at 2B on day one with the plan of handing SS to Mayer at some point early on in the season. If Story can stick at 2B all year, great. He was great there in 22.
  20. mvp 78
    Right now, Campbell is jack of all trades and master of none. His defense is below par all across the diamond. He's athletic enough to figure it out somewhere, but he's just being shuttled around.
  21. mvp 78
    I gave Whitlock his final chance this year. Never again.
  22. mvp 78
    Putting too much pressure on them.
  23. mvp 78
    I'd keep Mayer at SS probably. Story would go to 2b and mix and match with whatever else you want to put there. 3B would be a mystery. Meidroth?
  24. mvp 78
    With Duran and Rafaela, do they need another CFer? They need a RFer, a good 2B, SS, 3B. If Campbell could play RF, he could be a good platoon with Abreu.
  25. mvp 78
    There's a difference between "made a bad decision" and "intentionally threw a season."
