  1. I'm not swayed by his hot start. The Sox aren't either. They haven't called him up yet. Valdez is the one up right now.
  2. They knew. That's how they got him at a "discount."
  3. MiLB Stats: Bello 1 G, 6 Inn, 4 K, 0 BB, 1.50 ERA, 0.67 WHIP Paxton 4 G, 11.1 Inn, 14 K, 10 BB, 10.32 ERA, 2.12 WHIP
  4. Bello looked great in his start. Paxton has looked pretty terrible.
  5. I wouldn't have put him on the 40 man. I have the same question. I'm not sure Chang is really a great depth option at SS long term. When Story goes down, the Sox were left with Kiké/Arroyo/MondesIL/Chang/Valdez as the "viable" options. That's got to be bottom 5 in the league for middle IF once you exclude Story.
  6. It was a safe assumption McGuire was known as a good catcher and he had hit well with the Sox. Wong was a career MiLBer and wasn't even assured a roster spot. Sox brass liked Wong's receiving skills, but it would have been a big leap to assume that he'd win a starter's role in early April. There were people on here hoping for a McGuire/Alfaro rotation during ST!
  7. @alexspeier Red Sox will have RHP Chris Martin make a rehab appearance Thursday in Worcester, with hopes that he’ll be activated this weekend. James Paxton will make another start for the WooSox on Sunday. My guess is Bernardino would be sent down to WOO for Martin. Ort for Paxton when ready in early May?
  8. Catcher configuration matters. Strictly deciding who the best catcher is by looking at CERA makes no sense.
  9. I also knew that going into the season without a good SS/2B or decent SP options wasn't a great idea, but Chaim did it anyway.
  10. El Paso is also one of the more hitter friendly stadiums in PCL which is a hitter friendly league. Maybe he's hoping for a stat bump that could get him a call up somewhere else?
  11. Reese McGuirabelli.
  12. If Reese can have good rapport with 2 pitchers, that'd be ideal for a platoon with Wong.
  13. Ort ERA 7.30 Ort xFIP 6.16 He's actually been a little bit unlucky. Maybe you need to give him another chance! Whiff Bottom 2%
  14. My guess is Iglesias has another opt out built into the new contract and he really likes the El Paso Chihuahuas uni.
  15. He's the garbage time guy, but he needs to be at least competent enough to not force your closer to come in when you have more than a 5 run lead. Ort has options and will be the first sent to WOO once the next relief guy gets healthy.
  16. 229 BABIP alert
  17. Every year? No. More often than not? Yes.
  18. I liked him as a reliever. His starter numbers weren't great. I didn't think it'd work out. I'm not sure if it will work out for him long term as he has a bad barrel rate and exit velo.
  19. People liked Strahm. Sox didn't re-sign him because they didn't want to make a place for him in the rotation. Is he Rich Hill 2.0? Only time will tell.

  21. "They HAVE TO reset because they went over last season" by stepping on an upside rake like a cartoon character and hitting themselves and buffoonishly costing themselves draft capital in a throwaway season... I'm supposed to give them credit for going over last year now? No f***ing way...
  22. They went over by accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Who said "small market?"
  24. No, I 1,000,000%$ believe they will NOT be in the top 5% in payroll next season. I have no faith in John Henry. I am biased against him. I have been that way for a long time, but have heard lots of negative things about him running this franchise going back to last season. This is a Tom Werner stan account. Werner wants to spend money, Henry doesn't. That is what I've heard. There's an ongoing push and pull in ownership between spending and not spending. Right now, we are in a not spending phase, which seems very clear to me. The FA moves the current Sox have made can be typified as RINKY DINK.
  25. A reset year? How many of those do they need? Are they collecting under the CBT years like pokémon?
