    Who cares about team control for a guy like Arroyo? In a career year, he maybe gets 1 fWAR. Not worth worrying about the team control IMO.
  2. mvp 78
    He should just bench Arroyo instead against LHP. @itsbrianbarrett Arroyo 2023 v. Righties .293/.330/.425/.755 v. Lefties .196/.211/.357/.568 50% whiff rate against breaking balls
  3. mvp 78
    No idea. They didn't say. 18 in front of Paulino?
  4. mvp 78
    So not an impossible situation for Cora then?
  5. mvp 78
    They were keeping Houck stretched out, which in hindsight seems like a good idea since he was an ok starter this year. His stuff didn't really play up in a bullpen role. Maybe he is just a bulk reliever?

    Brannon and Garcia are 18 and 19, it's a little too early to definitively state either way. Brannon is mashing in Salem. Garcia is mashing in FCL. Brannon has bigger power upside. Garcia is a more all around athlete.
  7. mvp 78
    Yup. It's just not a word my fingers are used to typing.
  8. mvp 78
    Garcia is a bat first guy too. I wouldn't automatically assume he sticks at C long term.
  9. mvp 78
    Brannon's defense isn't that great right now. He's a work in progress (at best) at blocking. Tell is far and away their best catching prospect right now and it's not close.
  10. mvp 78
    He's been better so far this season vs LHP. There's a definite split, but you can hold your nose with a 700 OPS. If it trends lower, then you platoon.
  11. mvp 78
    He's low shot to be a starting catcher probably. He could probably start elsewhere or be a backup C and part time LFer.
  12. mvp 78
    He prefers prescreened radio callers.
  13. mvp 78
    They also could have dealt Ward in the offseason since he clearly had a lot of value. Enough to be taken 1st overall in the draft. It was just a waste to do what they did with him.
  14. mvp 78
    Hill was the oldest player in MLB and has a lengthy injury history, but you're worried about them managing his innings??? PIT isn't holding back this season and his ERA/FIP are worse off for it.
  15. mvp 78
    He is. Why?
  16. mvp 78
    SoxProspects will most likely rank Teel #6 on their site per what they said on their podcast. Teel should start in Greenville next season and could get through the system pretty quickly. Has better all around tools than the other catchers in the system right now. Zanetello is a pure athlete who will split time between SS and CF. Probably signs for over slot.
  17. mvp 78
    MiLB deal, so nothing to worry about.
  18. mvp 78
    @tylermilliken_ Red Sox continue to add pitching depth by signing Dinelson Lamet to a minor league deal. He was just released by the Rockies after posting a 11.57 ERA/6.57 over 25.2 IP. 10.9 K/9 and 7.7 BB/9.
  19. mvp 78
    I agree. It's one thing to sit down and watch some bad baseball on tv, it's another to drag your ass to Fenway and have to deal with all that goes with it including cost and comfort. Without fees, it'd be $180 to get the cheapest seats in the stadium for my family on Thursday night when I'm in town. That's before food and all the other crap.
  20. mvp 78
    Rafaela is hitting leadoff today for WOO.
  21. mvp 78
    Guys that could play in 2025: Valdez, Hamilton, Yorke, Meidroth, Bonaci (late 25)
  22. mvp 78
    He has a guaranteed contract through 2027. I can reasonably assume that they'd have somebody who could play 2b at a cheaper price by 2025. Are they just going to eat 3 years of that contract? He can't play 3B. Move him to the OF? Yoshida seems like the best bet to just DH. Hope for a bounce back season next year and deal him?
  23. mvp 78
    And if Yorke is ready and can play an average 2b what are they going to do with Story? I agree that the Story pickup seemed like a "hey, this guy's price tag is below market, let's grab him on clearance" and they didn't consider the downstream effects.
  24. mvp 78
    When Mayer is ready, he's not playing SS anymore anyway.
  25. mvp 78
    At 2b he can.
