  1. Yeah, if the Astros are bored with him, we can take him of their hands.
  2. I would bet that Reyes is probably in line for most of the reps even though Valdez has the platoon advantage. Valdez is just such a horrible defender and they need to move beyond that.
  3. I agree that Duquette could never make such an important deal.
  4. The pitching has been a mess since 2016 that's for sure.
  5. Bregman 2B Chapman 3B Yamamoto SP Montgomery SP Imanaga sP Buy Devers an OF glove. FULL THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Tim Anderson got his ass kicked. He is not a dirt dog. No thank you.
  7. It feels right though vs the 37 badWAR?
  8. Per BTV: Bregman Javier Garcia for Yorke Kelly FULL THROTTLE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  9. The RHB can go play LF.
  10. He can play 2B?
  11. AKA, the reason the Sox were 30th in defense at 2B.
  12. The 4 seamer is just his worst pitch and either needs to be used as a waste pitch up or just forgotten. The slider gets vertical break rather than horizontal break which maybe he could turn into more of a sweeper at a different velo band? IDK.
  13. Really just need to see Cespedes stateside first for initial impressions and then at more competitive levels in '25. I have stated that they should trade Mayer all offseason. It's nothing against him personally, but his ceiling isn't really multiple MVP years and a HOF career. He should be an above average SS for his career and make a ton of money, but I think the Sox can use him now to acquire assets they don't have and struggle to develop in their system (pitching).
  14. They spent a long time collecting tweeners and now that's all we have. Bello got hyped to be a TOTR guy, but he's really more mid rotation to me unless he can really turn something on that we haven't seen yet.
  15. moon doesn't want to pay 2M for defense at 2B though!
  16. The hitting sucked for most of the season and the relievers fell apart after being overused. After Story returned: Batter 3.1 fWAR (23rd) 91 wRC+ (22nd) Pitching 4.0 fWAR (20th) (15th Starter, 19th Reliever) Relievers with 8th in fWAR prior to Story coming back Their worst defensive positions when you account for all players were 1B, 2B, 3B and CF (all 28th in the league or worse). Because of Chang and Story, the Sox were 22nd at SS.
  17. Cora benched Verdugo when they still wanted to win. The first benching was against a RHP and Refsnyder was subbed in. YUCK. That was clearly sending a message and not about who was sitting on the bench because Refsnyder can't hit RHP for s***.
  18. Simmons through age 28 was on track to have a better HOF candidacy than Vizquel, but he fell apart right after.
  19. JBJ would start to hit and then stop just as quickly as he started. He would have one great month every season and go back to suckitude. After leaving BOS, he never was able to generate those hot streaks again to even out the poor performances.
  20. That's a Verdugo question? He made an excuse about his family issues, but Cora stated that it's always been a problem with him. Players have said that he's a HOF talent, that he just doesn't take the game seriously.
  21. Per Cora, it wasn't like he just showed up late once, he was always showing up late and they could never get him with the program.
  22. Yes sir. Showed up late to games. Wasn't getting work in.
  23. I wonder if it will look better next to Story in '24?
  24. If they are going to switch to a defensive first team, they'd have to cull the 26 man roster.
  25. I think Sox fans like JBJ's defense, but they didn't like when his bat would become an absolute black hole. When he would OPS 500 for two months, it was really rough to watch.
