Are we sure Duran is a 120 wRC+ player going forward? Most projections have him at 98 and below. Until he can replicate it again, I can't say he's likely to outhit Turner. We've seen many one year wonders before.
-
The '26 option is mutual so it 99% will not be picked up.
-
Ride O'Neillll hard and put him away wet until he breaks down. Abreu takes over while O'Neillllll is on IL.

Henry Crag Unnamed FO Sources
-
He should be throwing soon, so probably not.
-
I agree. I only don't put Whitlock in the rotation ahead of Houck because of his health concerns.
-
John Henry was asked if he has a couple minutes to talk about the team, said no, then walked to the back fields. So for now, the streak continues.
-
Hate speech is alive and well on TalkSox.
-
The only reason they put him in the rotation was because the Sox mentioned stretching various players out. Really, Whitlock and Winckowski just need to be bullpen arms.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/how-to-say-youre-rebuilding-without-saying-youre-rebuilding-a-guide-for-general-managers/ I didn't realize all the trauma I had when reading through this.
-
Just as an FYI, Tommy John threw 2,543 innings after his surgery. They don't make 'em like they used to.
-
Ellis was high, but able to manage it.
-
Per ZiPS projections: Turner 749 OPS Story 755 OPS I think this is what they are relying on.
-
Grissom will get fulltime run. O'Neilllll will most likely not be healthy enough.
-
Noah Song isn't a starter anymore. He needs to be moved to the bullpen. I bet Duffy starts in Salem and is moved to Greenville midyear. Wikelman is probably up in WOO midseason. I hope he can stay as a starter, but they need to figure that out because his 40 man clock is ticking now. Perales too. If Perales doesn't jump this year, they need to push him to the pen. I believe Winckowski should be swapped with Murphy on the BOS roster.

We haven't heard public statements from Henry. You have to remember that Werner is a tv guy and cares about putting on a show. He likes stars. Henry doesn't give a s*** about that. If you talked to them about what they'd want out of the Red Sox, you'd get two wildly different answers.
-
ZiPS didn't project him to OPS 828 last year, so you're good to project anything you want. The projections are basically putting his career line out there and going with that for '24.
-
Kavadas is projected to come up and provide one bomb this season. Looking forward to it.
-

Who is hating on him? He was a good player.
-
660 innings. Maybe coming close to an end if the 600 innings rule is correct?
-
I haven't paid much attention to the bottom of the barrel.
-
Do you expect him to repeat what he did last year?
-
I think the Offense could be about the same. Story could be a big hinge point, but we've been waiting on him for 2 years. Bullpen should be about the same depending on trades. Rotation is a big unknown as it was last season, but I'm not sure it could be worse. The defense should be better only because it was awful last season.
