    That was my concern going into the season. There are a lot of words that I can use to describe for the plan Bloom had for "up the middle" this season and none of them are good. What I would have done is just left Kiké in CF, played Arroyo at 2B and found a glove first SS that hits 9th. When Story comes back, you upgrade Arroyo with Story and have a pretty strong defensive alignment IMO. What Bloom did was rely on Kiké to be a fulltime SS when he's never been one. Expected Arroyo to be a fulltime 2B when he's never been healthy enough to give you those innings. Hoped Duvall would bring COF GG defense to CF and play average defense there. Traded for an injured Mondesi to backup 2B/SS if Kiké/Arroyo didn't work out. The only plan that kind of worked out was Duvall. He got injured, but could have been injured on a similar play if he was in RF or LF.

    This is serious business!

    An archaeological dig.

    He'll be 28 by the end of the month. That flash wasn't long enough. He's nothing more than a bench bat. He's a placeholder for whoever is the long term solution at 1B if you are calling him up. The Sox don't care about his development. That's why they just threw him at SS and didn't think twice. They also floated his name as trade bait multiple times AND NOBODY BIT. He has no value. If it wasn't for the stretch at the end of 2020, we wouldn't care about him.

    Yes, a 32.6% k rate in AAA is A LITTLE HIGH! That is close to his MLB k rate. If he gets called up again and has the same approach, add 5-10% to that.

    Look at his home/away splits this year. 3.38 Home 1.49 Away
  7. mvp 78
    He pitched to contact and had a decent defense behind him. Now he has the Boston Red Sox behind him and is pitching worse. It's a f***ing nightmare scenario.
  8. mvp 78
    I think it's because his two biggest blowouts were on the road: @LAA 3 INN, 8 ER @NYY 0.2 INN, 6 ER Two outings can really skew a sample if you're only looking at 15 starts.
  9. mvp 78
    Dalbec sucks. We've seen him not be able to hit at the MLB level. He'll k 40% of the time. Being able to mash at AAA doesn't mean you can mash at MLB. It's not a one to one.
  10. mvp 78
    Who?
  11. mvp 78
    With no starting pitching, even if they claw their way to an 86 win season, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? The team isn't good enough to go far in the postseason. We would have needed to see progression from Whitlock, Bello and another pitcher, but that hasn't quite been the case. The pitching has just treaded water.
  12. mvp 78
    Zero chance they were going to trade him. None.
  13. mvp 78
    Lots of blame to spread around. He got caught in the middle on that one, but a guy of his stature should know better.
  14. mvp 78
    The guys we want to get non-tendered always get tendered.
  15. mvp 78
    I agree that we should see more DHing from Yoshida going forward. If not this year then the next 4.
  16. mvp 78
    I'm not sure Kavadas ever wears a BOS uni.
  17. mvp 78
    This is his first start at DH all season.
  18. mvp 78
    From 5/1 - 6/1 Starters: 18th fWAR Relievers: 23rd fWAR (kinda fell apart after a strong start to the season)
  19. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats The bullpen is heavily taxed heading into 4 games in 3 days against Tampa before an off day Monday. The last 7 starts: 3 IP, 5 IP, 5 IP, 4 IP, 4 IP, 5 IP, 3.2 IP @jcmccaffrey Cora said last night there would be some moves today to get fresh arms for the pen so stay tuned. What are they going to recall Ort?
  20. mvp 78
    Masataka 142 wRC+ Xander 110 wRC+ and trending down
  21. mvp 78
    Xander 59 wRC+ in May and is having "wrist" problems again.

    44.6% whiff rate against sliders.

    JD has been better, but Justin fits what this team needs more. Kluber has been a problem. When Nate came back to the Sox after receiving the offer from TEX, Bloom shouldn't have brushed him off if he really wanted him in the first place. Go over the CBT this year. Reset next year. Maybe they really didn't want him? IDK.
  25. mvp 78
    Rafaela's '22 numbers are a little skewed by his 962 OPS in High A (with a 24.4% k rate). It's clear he's much too good for that level. He still has to find long term success at AA.
