  1. Wow, we also have a reliever named Adames, to go along with two named Adams.
  2. Obviously very small samples, but a .900 OPS is pretty good. KC and Grissom have done zero at the plate. Good small samples are still better than bad small samples.
  3. A 2.6 bWAR and 1.7 fWAR in the equivalent of half a season seems pretty good. And just about every player has stretches of not hitting. The entire Sox offense didn't hit the last 6 weeks of the season.
  4. Maybe he's being underestimated. Time will tell. But for now I'm on the DHam train. Fields the position well, great speed, and he can hit it out of the park. Seems like a nice combo to me.
  5. I think as of today DHam is a runaway choice as Opening Day starter. He had a 2.6 bWAR last year in half a season and he looks great in ST games. He's continuing to show some power, a solid plate approach and of course his speed is a given. Not sure how he wouldn't be.
  6. Hamilton was a solid plus defender at 2B last year, Cap'n.
  7. SSSS Hamilton 44 PA's 270/386/514 Campbell 38 PA's 152/263/182
  8. Do you think Campbell is a better player than Hamilton right now?
  9. Looks like Hamilton all the way at this point. This guy refuses to take a back seat. 15 games, .900 OPS, 2 dingers, 5 SB's, 7 walks vs. only 6 K's. Only spring games but great numbers.
  10. By and large (I really like that one BTW), yes I do. They've been aggressive when necessary like with Bogey and Raffy.
  11. I'm pretty sure Raffy doesn't pay much attention to Talksox.
  12. Yes, I think on all that everyone agrees.
  13. And when the information came out about Devers being promised by Bloom he would only be playing third base, what did Cora say? He said "that was under a different management". So obviously Cora felt like he needed to defend what the team was doing.
  14. Except that's not the only thing he said. “So, are you saying if they asked you to DH, you won’t do it?” asked a Red Sox reporter. “No, I play third,” replied Devers. "Hell no" is not an irrational interpretation there IMHO.
  15. I disagree. It looks to me like the controversy was real and mainly created by the actions and communications from the team. e.g. they told us Bregman was being strongly considered to play 2B, but all he has played is 3B in spring games.
  16. To answer that we should be looking at what the interpreter said in that press conference and why it was interpreted the way it was.
  17. A better argument about what? You're losing me now.
  18. Sorry, my last comment was about the kids, not Devers.
  19. I don't see that one as a big deal. YMMV. It would probably have been fairer to say "reported refusal".
  20. Lester's contract was expiring. Lackey's had the year at minimum wage.
  21. To me it does seem pretty obvious Raffy got blindsided here, that he didn't really think Bregman was coming to town. And that's what led to all the issues. And that's on the team, isn't it?
  22. And I'm firmly in the "they're gonna do what they're gonna do" camp. 😁
  23. I have no idea about Lackey. But the fact they traded him does seem to make it plausible.
  24. It's not my intent to defend all media.
  25. Yeah but that's the clickbait aspect which we should all expect.
