    Eaton is a better offensive player, but much worse defensively. I think their scouting saw more in Durbin than what we're getting on the field. I think their internal metrics and projections aren't all they're cracked up to be.

    Paez: 2 G, 2 IP Not so sure about that one!

    Giolito was available like a week ago and signed for only 3M. Seemed like decent enough injury insurance to me considering everything that was happening at the time.

    Good enough to draft an Andrew Benintendi or even a Trey Ball!
  5. mvp 78
    Only once? Getting a little stale.

    He would have just traded for his drinking buddies.

    FCL season starts this weekend

    Ward hit his first tater of the year this afternoon.

    I have lower expectations for Bennett than for the other two. Bennett is a pitch to contact guy who really needs to locate to do well. On his best day, he's a 4.

    No. Went 0-3 last night.

    Priester - 1 G, 5 IP with Bailey (1.80 ERA) Harrison - 3 G, 12 IP with Bailey (3.00 ERA) Bailey didn't have that much time with either of these two pitcher. I think they used these pitchers as trade bait, not because they couldn't get anything out of their performance, but because they had depth to trade from. I think Brez is happy with the Priester trade. Not sure what he thinks about the Harrison trade. Elmer Rodriguez didn't throw one pitch for Bailey. If there's a fault there, it lies much further down the pitching dev line. Bailey is in charge of the pitchers throwing in Boston, not the guys throwing all over the org. That was Justin Willard at one point.

    Every time you make a trade or sign a big FA, you should put the Wally head on and strut around the office getting high fives.

    I think they called him up because they weren't sure about the timing for the pitchers going on and off the IL and needed someone to get up to TOR to fill out the roster. They could easily call up Eaton and then send him back to WOO for 10 days without worrying about needing him.

    The next CBO search is going to be brutal for the Sox. They couldn't get anyone in the door last time. Now they are seen league wide as a complete mess. f you like scouting, all those guys are gone. There's no year to year commitment to spending or competing. Your job will possibly not last the full contract you sign. You're surrounded by legions of EVP's that survive by winning favor with ownership. Who would take that job? I

    Just because a guy was a great player doesn't mean they'd be a great coach or GM. I think Pedroia is happy coaching his son's little league team. Ortiz is sort of around the team as part of the ownership group. Pedro is brought out in Spring Training the same way Luis Tiant was every season. I think Breslow is happy leaning on Driveline and internal metrics to move the team forward rather than having former players mentor the current players. Why not both? Even if you don't have guys like Ortiz and Pedro physically coach the players or teach them mechanics, you can at least have them talk to the younger guys about getting through a long season and dealing with adversity. Maybe the Red Sox don't see any value in it?
  17. mvp 78
    Yeah, SoxProspects has him listed at 270.
  18. mvp 78
    I wasn't super high on him to begin with. I don't think he's doing anything to earn an extension that's for sure. Right now, he's a lame duck CBO. He's never had a good trade deadline. He doesn't communicate well. I can excuse the mixed bag trade/FA moves since that's every CBO. At least the pitching dev seems headed in the right direction. The best prospects seem to be also trending up. He's basically Chaim if Chaim spent more time churning the top of the MLB roster.
  19. mvp 78
    Let him.
  20. mvp 78
    Huh, that doesn't make any sense. Last year, the Sox coaches were getting called out for being out of position and stealing signs. It has more to do with that them not paying attention to the details. It's more excuse making than smearing.
  21. mvp 78
    Clarke hasn't given up a run all season!
  22. mvp 78
    Feels normal at this point. 😮‍💨

    It got revisited because Alex Cora posted a bunch of photos of him going out with the boys on IG. Then people online started talking about it and found the stuff in Drellich's book. Articles were written a few days later. Media need an easy story and it was one. We've seen them really throw a lot of people under the bus in the past, but it seems Breslow didn't really do that this time. He's even downplayed some of the speculation about Fatse getting fired because of KC's performance. Breslow keeps a lot of things close to the chest and doesn't seem to leak much. If anything is getting leaked, my guess it's from Sam and friends rather than the CBO side of things. The only story we heard was that they were upset with how well DHam played and that Breslow had wanted to clean house when he first got there or whatever. Uh, ok? In terms of mudslinging, that doesn't hold a candle to what they have done in the past.

    That story came from Evan Drellich's book from the HOU cheating scandal. It isn't new info at all. The Sox had nothing to do with it.
  25. mvp 78
    Before the FO can do a smear campaign? The Globe had the smear campaign going the following morning after Tito was gone. I think they've learned from their lesson and aren't really going whole hog on that stuff anymore. We're hearing a lot more sour grapes from the former coaches and others fired by Breslow than anything else.
