    I have to figure Bloom thought he was an .850-.900 OPS guy. God knows what they were thinking about him playing in the outfield.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Really? You think they're scrambling to give Mayer a shot at opening day 2B?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yep, he's even worse than the critics of the signing suggested. But maybe some of them were being polite. I remember one guy being quoted as saying "I have no words", which was chilling.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Grissom does need a change of scenery if he's ever going to have an MLB career. The Punchless Wonder slugged .235 in his 40 PA's in spring games.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The Bogey call-up was a sort of emergency, with the team going for a title and Middlebrooks failing to inspire much confidence.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Understood, but the signing was a big deal for Bloom, given the amount of money involved and the budget he was working with. Plus he spent another chunk on Justin Turner to be primarily a DH. While only $10 million on the rotation. He has to wear it IMHO.
  7. Bellhorn04
    The implication was that his skills were not worth $90 million plus posting fee.

    A lot of people are really gonna hate the Dodgers this year.

    You have to think a team in need of an LH bat would be interested in Yoshida if the Sox pay 70% of his salary or something like that.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Horrible signing by Bloom. At first people didn't realize Yoshida was only suited to be a DH, but once they did, it was hard to figure what Bloom was thinking shelling out that much money. Yoshida will be 32 in July, also.

    Amazingly enough, Rafaela has 6 walks vs. only 3 strikeouts in spring games!
  12. Bellhorn04
    (Stupid joke alert) The Sox have to be careful they don't get any too many men on the field penalties this year.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, what I'm really wondering is if MLB would see it as a "phantom IL" abuse thing. They sort of cracked down on that a bit with the former Mets GM, right?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Sounds great in theory, but how many guys are actually good at multiple positions. Kike at shortstop was a disaster. Rafaela struggled there too.
  15. Bellhorn04
    So we're going to put a DH on the IL even though he's clearly healthy enough to hit. Unusual.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The stats say he's still pretty good in the field. I'm sure he's lost a little range.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Also worth noting that fWAR says he's not actually good.
  18. Bellhorn04
    So like Red says, it was JuJu...
  19. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately that Juju is now everywhere that baseball pitchers are found.
  20. Bellhorn04
    But why would that be?
  21. Bellhorn04
    If Story comes out rakin' and pickin' we'll see how the narrative goes. 😀
  22. Bellhorn04
    So Story is a crappy shortstop all of a sudden? 🙃
  23. Bellhorn04
    But there's a scenario in which Mayer is ready before Campbell. Then you've got Mayer and Story covering the middle infield and Campbell is blocked.
  24. Bellhorn04
    They were juggling a lot of balls with 3 guys trying out for 2B.
  25. Bellhorn04
    FWIW Little Raf has posted good numbers at the plate in these spring games. Especially of interest is the 3Ks vs. 4 walks...make that 5 walks now.
