You little devil you.

Absolutely overwhelming amount of information. Now, like I said before not that it matters, it is highly likely that if given the chance he would be at least adequate behind the plate and even more likely would outhit both of the non-hitters who currently lie ahead of him on the depth chart. It will be ok but we really don't need two backup catchers leading the way for us.
-
I'm in a minority here I know but I still feel that it is more than likely that Swihart would wind up hitting far better than either Vazqueth or Leon if he was given the opportunity. I have said this many times before. I do not think that it is necessary to carry two starting catchers who in all likelihood would be back up catchers on most other teams.
-
h don't worry about that. Eventually they will just stop talking to you if you don't agree with them. lol
-
Why would you say that?
-
It's a good post. It does tell me when I see a player like Lin if the improvement is believable and continues that maybe he does have a chance.
-
just saw this - can you believe that the Yankmees might have some problems of their own. Is that even possible?
-
So with respect to 2019, does Severino being scratched today due to shoulder discomfort doom the Yankees? Sounds to me depending on who you're are talking to, how far can he be from Tommy John? On a more realistic level, our primary Yankee detractor here just needs to accept the fact that they are not nor will they be anytime soon in a better position than the Red Sox to win. Please spare all mention of the future problems we have no chance of avoiding - the cliff.

I also think that there will be a lot of back and forth between Sale and the coaching staff. Nothing is nor should it be set in stone with respect to when he pitches. He listens to his body and I'm pretty sure he will tell his coaches what he hears.
-
Yes i do.
-
Anyone over worrying about Sale's shoulder, just likes to worry. How many times have know-nothings gone on and on about his strength, stamina, and mechanics. It has been a pathetic whine from those who have absolutely no clue what it means to be physically fit.
-
If any young pitcher picture gets Sale's nod of approval, it can't be a bad thing. Darwinzon Hernandez!
-
You are right. For the most part, the real dopers are cyclical. They'll do a great deal in a short period of time to peak for an event of some sort. Once that muscle mass is there, when the use stops, they might lose some strength simply because the workouts cannot be as as strenuous nor can they be that often, but they will not just suddenly shrink.
-
It would be wonderful if we lived in a pure and perfect world. There are many ways to cheat and many cheaters who have never been caught. My guess actually would be that the Hall of Fame currently has a fair share of them who have already been enshrined. I'm glad that I am not a member of the sanctimonious crew who gets to pretend that they have never done anything wrong in their lives.
-
Or is using them currently. i also believe that in most cases where this is smoke, there is likely to be fire. Not all of the time but when the rumors start flying it seems that more often then not there is some truth in the story.
-
Very true - much fewer aches and pains after workouts as well.
-
I have never done them but I know plenty of people who have and no the effects do not suddenly disappear. If you continue to workout the right way, the power just does not quietly slip away. I just think that it is naive and a touch hypocritical when people start yapping about how they would never sign anyone who has ever used. It is a persona prerogative I guess but I won't be that guy who thinks that using steroids or something akin to them does not continue to be widespread. Not talking about you here Moon - just making a comment. Personally, I suspect many of our alleged Red Sox heroes of recent years could have used and we have no clue about it. i don't live in a perfect world so I choose to not judge. If they use and they are caught they pay the price. They use again and are caught they pay a more severe price.

After reading Bradford's article this morning, it might be a stretch to think that any of these guys heading toward free agency will sign any kind of deal that even appears to be team friendly. I grouse about the play money being thrown around in ml baseball as much as the next guy but the thinking of the players makes sense. It is very difficult for me to sympathize though with either side in this issue.
-
Everything that I have seen indicates that he is playing multiple positions. He very likely might get his chance at some point this year.
-
I don't think the Sox expect Chavis to be playing third anytime soon in Boston. I think that they are all in on Devers being that guy. Personally I am all in on that one too.
-
Chavis is working out at second as well as any other position that the Sox think that he might help them at.
-
i'm happy to see some of these young guys showing something of their talents. I will continue to think that there is some pretty good talent in our farm system. I love seeing the early power from both Chavis and Dalbec - I don't mind at all if the pitching they are facing isn't the best in ml baseball just yet. There is good potential there. Some of the young pitching talent shows promise as well.
-
Looks that way doesn't it. I think that the fate of the bullpen still looks unresolved as well. it will be interesting to see who steps up if anyone. I hope someone does for sure. Lets go Thornburg.
-
I'm not sure who goes. Hard to say what they will do. Just for you though notin - Leon goes. it does kind of sound like Vazqueth has the best shot at the job. Also sounds as though the intrigue over Swihart continues. Steady improvement behind the plate and clearly more potential from a hitting standpoint than either of the other two. I do have to add though that I am wrong most of the time. I also happen to think that someone would snap Swihart up in a second if they could get him for next to nothing. Why wouldn't they?
-
Went out on a limb with my thoughts that Kimbrel would come back. Looks like that isn't happening. My next great prediction - Swihart stays and we have two catchers on the roster to kick off the season.
