    Cron and Joely have opt outs if they are not on the Opening Day Roster.

    His voice is fine, it's the words that come out that I don't like.

    Out of immediate need it would be: Criswell Murphy Walter Gambrell I don't think there's any chance Perales is in Boston this year even in the bullpen. Probably not next season either. Wikelman is much closer to MLB ready, but I don't think they'd rush him.

    @tylermilliken_ Alex Cora told @bradfo that he believes Chris Martin will be ready for Opening Day. He’ll try to throw his first live BP once again on Saturday. Kenley Jansen has also been progressing well. 8th and 9th inning should be in good shape once the season starts.

    Maybe OB should take a sick day or five as well?
  6. mvp 78
    Since he's only hitting 811 this ST, he's obviously saving something for the regular season.

    Are you saying that Romy doesn't take his career seriously?
  8. mvp 78
    I was thinking they should even skip Bello in the rotation to help manage his innings!
  9. mvp 78
    I wasn't meaning out of necessity, but out of player development (i.e. Fitts moving up the ranks or Wikelman making large strides this year).
  10. mvp 78
    I think he's got a nice SD vibe to him. It's only 90 minutes away from where he grew up.
  11. mvp 78
    They've had a long Spring Training and the flight to the West Coast can be exhausting. Building in the rest days early and often just makes sense.

    His velo ticked back up his last time out and he was still able to throw 96-97 throughout his 3 innings. He only threw like 33 pitches, so I don't know how long he could realistically keep that up. Once his velo goes back down to 93-94, I think his stuff becomes much more hittable to MLB guys. He gets more value out of the cutter that is thrown slower, but the difference in velo between those pitches is what keeps hitters off balance IMO.
  13. mvp 78
    I think he could be an elite bullpen guy if they tweaked his stuff there instead.
  14. mvp 78
    Has Cora given him a nickname yet?
  15. mvp 78
    For me, the Sox need another starting option with Giolito going down. Having control for '25 as well is good enough for me. I don't see Duran as a long term fit on this roster. If all goes according to plan, they are going to run out of OF spots when Anthony is ready: LF Abreu/Refsnyder/Masa CF Rafaela RF Anthony

    Not sure I realized Romy played OF. When I've seen him play IF, he's been pretty good defensively. He can't hit though. If they needed an emergency OF callup from AAA, they should make a 40 man move and add Contreras. Left side of the IF? I think Romy would be ok for a little while, but he'd be hitting 9th.

    It's a less than 50% chance that Whitlock can go the whole year in the rotation and that's being generous. Professionally, Houck's max starts in a year is 24 which happened last year. Winckowski is just a much better pen arm. I don't know why they are even moving him to the rotation.
  18. mvp 78
    Keeping him for a QO or a trade at the deadline seems fine to me. There's a chance that one of the young arms is able to be brought up by then anyway.
  19. mvp 78
    @bradfo Whit Merrifield said he never heard from the Red Sox this offseason Initially, Sox were thought to be a team in on Merrifield.
  20. mvp 78
    Really? I'd smash that trade button.
  21. mvp 78
    @MacCerullo Today's #RedSox lineup: O’Neill LF, Abreu RF, Story SS, Casas DH, Cron 1B, McGuire C, Gonzalez CF, Dalbec 3B, Hamilton 2B, Winckowski P Opening Day Lineup preview?
  22. mvp 78
    Did they predict it ahead of time though?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
  23. mvp 78
    And posters get mad a me for picking apart word choice over a baseball comment. Hmph...
  24. mvp 78
    Seems like a lot for Duran, but like you said these guys are kinda far away. Teams are really valuing proximity. BTV also accepts a 1 for 1 of Duran for King, but I don't see the Padres pulling the trigger on that.
  25. mvp 78
    Need to clear up CBT space so that they can extend Casas!
