    He carried a 352 BABIP with a 283 AVG at AAA in '22. I think a slight regression wouldn't be terrible. The key is keeping that k's under control.
  2. mvp 78
    He hits the ball hard, but that's the only thing he does well offensively. He's not a dead pull hitter so he'd lose a lot of HR's to Fenway. He's ok as a backup, but I'd prefer Dalbec's versatility TBH.
  3. mvp 78
    Chapman doesn't make sense for this team without a corresponding position player move.
  4. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Red Sox in agreement with CJ Cron, per source. MiLB deal.
  5. mvp 78
    If he goes "0 for" then he must be traded right away because he's a bust and won't hit as good as last year.
  6. mvp 78
    Return to tradition. All managers must dress like Connie Mack.
  7. mvp 78
    The record for most innings post TJS is David Wells at 3,439. I couldn't find the study you referenced, just studies that suggest innings limits aren't necessary post-TJS.
  8. mvp 78
    At this point, wouldn't Snell and Monty be limited for the first week or two of the season?
  9. mvp 78
    He'll look good in short stretches and then just blow up in the next appearance.
  10. mvp 78
    notin has a theory that post TJS guys only have 600 innings in their arms. Monty is at 574.
  11. mvp 78
    Just because a prospect is ranked in the top 3, doesn't mean the prospect is a great. Chavis was a top prospect at a time the system was in disarray. He has carved out an MLB career which counts for something. Espinoza flamed out due to injury. He was also ranked top 20 by Baseball America, so it's not like SoxProspects was on an island.
  12. mvp 78
    He missed two seasons due to TJS. Aside from that, he's pitched full seasons every year since he's been signed.
  13. mvp 78
    Not every prospect works out. Even great AAA players flame out in MLB. There’s no exact science. We are lucky to have them though. There aren’t many other teams that have a website like that devoted to prospects that is painstakingly detailed. Those guys travel to see every stateside Sox prospect and talk to many people in the industry. They aren’t just scouting boxscores.
  14. mvp 78
    Yorke is already taking reps in OF and wasn’t succeeding in AA. He also has a lengthy injury history.
  15. mvp 78
    Cool.
  16. mvp 78
    Too high IMO.
  17. mvp 78
    Comish, what are the plans for this year?
  18. mvp 78
    He says he doesn’t want to be a manager for the next decade. Does he move to a FO somewhere (Sox have GM opening) or does he cash out and get a manager job elsewhere?

    MICHAEL GORDON PRESIDENT Mike Gordon is the President of Fenway Sports Group and has been a partner since 2001. In his role with Fenway Sports Group, Mr. Gordon has been primarily responsible for managing the operations of Liverpool FC, among his many other responsibilities. Mr. Gordon is a seasoned investor with over 30 years of experience. He formerly served as a Managing Partner of Vinik Asset Management LLC, a Boston-based investment firm that he co-founded in 1996 and led as co-CEO. Prior to that, Mr. Gordon spent nine years at Fidelity Investments as a research analyst and portfolio manager of the Blue Chip Growth Fund. New minor character just dropped!
  20. mvp 78
    SoxProspects said he'd probably be 3rd or 4th.
  21. mvp 78
    Does Verlander have enough in the tank to get to 300 wins? He needs 43 more, so at least 3 more productive seasons. Any other active pitchers have a reasonable shot? Gerrit Cole only has 145 at age 32. Doesn't seem like current pitchers stack up 20 win seasons like they used to.
  22. mvp 78
    1. cut cost 2. get a young 2b because their top 2b prospect kinda stinks Not sure how to rank.
  23. mvp 78
    That dude is just ridiculous.
  24. mvp 78
    Who the f*** is Mike Gordon?
  25. mvp 78
    Just looked at the Statcast data from the game yesterday. Yorke's 3 AB's: 54.1 exit velo ground out 49.9 exit velo ground out 87 ft popfly Sogard: 100.6 367 ft double 100.6 sac fly 101.0 361 oppo HR I noted that Walter pitched well, but wasn't paying attention to his velo. He only broke 88 mph twice in his 2 innings and never reached 90 mph. If his velo stays down again, his ceiling remains very limited.
