Starting Pitchers Only 2022: Ward, Song 2023: Drohan Ward had a 6.37 ERA (5.98 xFIP) last season out of the pen and will most likely be in AAA all year. Song was returned to the Sox at year end and will maybe reach AA by year end this year, but is only likely to be a reliever going forward. He's not the guy he was back in Lowell. Drohan struggled after reaching AAA last year, had shoulder surgery this spring and there is no timetable for his return. Aside from his 6 really good starts in AA in '23, the rest of his MiLB career hasn't been very impressive.

Sox released Gilberto Jimenez, former #4 prospect.

@RandyJMiller Alcohol ruined Domingo German’s Yankees career, but he still drinks because ‘I don’t have a problem’ Why can't Crag sign guys like this?
-
@GaryHPhillips Brian Cashman said DJ LeMahieu is starting the season on the IL.

NL is SF, STL (division), CIN (wc)

Dumpster dives aren't typically young prospects, even unheralded ones like Arauz. With Rule 5 guys, they are fliers that you grab prior to ST and just send back if it doesn't work out. It's not the same as churning through FA pitchers and finding a guy who is 32, has pitched on 5 teams and will line up to be your 4/5, but will likely get sent to the pen midyear. The endless supply of 29 year old relief arms that are picked up on the waiver wire are also "dumpster dives" unlike the Rule 5 guys.

His final two appearances of the year: NYY 9/8 7 Inn, 1 ER NYY 9/10 2.1 Inn, 0 ER On 7/20 and 8/4 he got beat up really bad by Milwaukee. Thankfully, he wasn't playing Milwaukee in the one game playoff. Excluding those two starts: 68 IP, 25 ER, 3.30 ERA. Why even have guys like LaRose and Sprowl start games down the stretch? It doesn't make sense.
-
Maybe NYY, SEA, CLE
-
Thanks to a damn hamster in a Red Sox uni that wouldn't let Bill Lee start some games down the stretch.
-
I could see almost any team except for the Sox.
-
I've never heard of a Rule 5 guy being a dumpster dive.
-
The lineup vs the Braves: Duran O'Neilll Raffy Story Casas Rafaela Yoshida Reyes Wong I don't really like this lineup at all. Batting high OBP Yoshida followed by Reyes and Wong doesn't really make sense. Why give O'Neilll more AB's per game than Raffy/Story/Casas? If Grissom gets healthy and can hit, he'd be a good fit for #2 IMO.
-
If Whitlock stays healthy, he has the tools to be a 3rd starter. It just seems unlikely. I think Houck is a 5th starter and we already know what he is.
-
4 out of 25 years prior to the start of the damn Wild Card. 14 out of 29 since the damn Wild Card. Almost once every other year!!!!
-
Is going to the playoffs every 3 years the average? Or is that just because 30/12 playoff teams = 2.5 years?
-
Ceddanne's not really one to take a walk (5% BB rate AAA), so we'll have to see what he'll do this year. I'm not sold that he can hit higher than 7th this year. Casas doesn't have a bad split vs LHP, so I wouldn't be opposed to having him hit next to Raffy in the order.
-
They'll be fun to watch until the starting pitching breaks down. Then it'll depend on how well the guys that fill in are (Criswell, Andersen, Walter, et al). I'm interested to see if Casas can mash from day one. Ceddanne should be fun to watch even if he struggles with the bat. We'll see how Grissom develops. I think the boo birds will come out for him early, which will be unfair. Story had a big ST and if he comes out swinging, it'll really turn the offense around.
-
Whitlock was a dumpster dive?
-
In.
-
100%
-
For an MiLB deal, sure. Not an MLB deal.
-
A slight upgrade over an emergency start from Grant Gambrell IMO.
-
My guess: AL: BAL, TOR, HOU NL: ATL, PHI, LAD
-
@rotoworld_bb Eduardo Rodriguez heading to IL with lat strain Why can't we sign guys like that?
