  1. IF Rutschmand can stay relatively healthy moving forward, this is going to be a great addition in the years to come. It is a big IF though.
  2. That's a lot of returm so I guess they are going t extend him.
  3. Who is running the medical reviews? Our staff? good luck with that!
  4. If he keeps working in his plate discipline, he will hit for contact consistently.
  5. Can’t believe Bennett didn’t throw a single strike against Tucker with no body out and with a 3-run lead. Maybe is on Narvaez. Good thing Slaten saved his ass or should I say Soagard? lol
  6. Odds say, Duran is going to hit and a lot moving forward. His BABIP is ridiculous. Way below league average. OTOH Narvaez is hopeless.
  7. His glove, arm and speed won’t regress, if anything, going to be better. The 1 M question is whether his bat can be consistent moving forward. Clearly he’s entering into his prime. IMO his better years are yet to come. Time will though.
  8. This is moneyball stuff at its finest.
  9. He reminds him a lot especially in this ridiculous stretch. Elite glove and arm, speed, hitting and power. Also and not the least he can hit in clutch moments.
  10. Is Rafaela out next Mookie Betts? Kid has the potential to be a legit 5 tool player. His major opportunity was his discipline at plate. Seems he has been doing better lately.
  11. It’s ineptitude. They are horrible projecting injury prone players and not only that. They love to resign and extend them, and when they are finally “healthy,” they release them like Sale.
  12. Yeah, one is an efficient and well run team and the other an inept one.
  13. The Rays have a $109,993,601 payroll. The Red Sox have a $98,500,000 payroll on the IL or AAA. Yet Breslow still has a job. We are run by inepts.
  14. Will this team be the worst in Sox history? I don’t see them winning 60 games and my memory doesn’t help much but this is for sure the worst offense I’ve ever seen.
  15. Between Brayan Bello and Kristian Campbell, the Red Sox have $125 million in guaranteed money hanging out in Worcester. We are run by inepts.
  16. IMHO Bello was pitching well with an opener. I still don’t understand why, but he was pitching good going like this. Instead of keeping what was working (until it doesn’t), they send him down. I’m not a Bello supporter at all but this is going to tax even more his confidence and probably will finish for once and for all his pathetic career. Seriously, they need to use more common sense and less their “super complicated stats.”
  17. If they were the Rays, the Dodgers, the Brewers, the Braves or among few others who evaluate and develop their system correctly I could understand the extensions, but man we are a mess. We are run by inepts. Wonder how they are justifying the Bello, Campbell and even the Anthony extensions these days. Not to mention some key FA signings and the trades.
  18. Not sure what else they need to see to realize he cannot handle the first inning.
  19. Somehow they found the “formula” for Bello yet they do (again) what actually doesn’t work which is giving him the start. He can’t start a game for whatever reason. They still don’t get it. I’ll keep saying, we are run by a bunch of inepts, who pretend being baseball geeks. I’m still wondering why Breslow still has a job.
  20. IMO they are done this season. Anthony is out and probably for the season and not sure how Crochet will come back. Whitlock is also already in IL already. Mayer is not hitting. Narvaez has regressed badly. Rafaela, Abreu and Contreras while good are not elite in my book. Duran while is improving, he’s still chasing fastballs above the zone. We still don’t have a legit 2nd baseman. Story is out and even if he returns I don’t expect anything from him. Gasper is a good discovery and IFK is a good story but who knows how much this is going to last especially IKF. Yoshida is an automatic groundout hitter. One struggling expensive bat won’t fix this anyways. Time to give most of the ABs to the youngsters including Campbell and sell all your “good” veteran assets to get something good in return.
  21. As I said, one thing is what rankings say and another what you actually project when you see them in minors everyday. Clearly they projected that Campbell and Mayer will be better than Meidroth. IMO it won’t be the case. Time will tell though, but thus far Meidroth has been the winning horse. And yes, probably giving up Campbell/Mayer instead would have meant keeping Teel or Montgomery as well.
  22. I get it, but that was not my point. My point all along was trading Campbell instead. I don’t see Campbell taking another AB again at MLB level in Red Sox uniform, and if so, performing well. Hopefully I’m dead wrong though.
