I think Grissom will be fine at 2B. It might take until 2025 to realize it, but I have a lot of confidence in him. He should be average or better on D and a plus on O, soon. At SS, he would need to show he is better than he looked in his SSS MLB career, to date. (Better than DHam/Reyes might not be a very high bar.)

Our best 26 and younger pitchers might be (upside potential, included): 25 Bello 26 Winckowski 24 Fitts 23 Sandlin 26 Slaten 21 Perales 22 Wikelman 23 Guerrero 20 E R-C 22 Bastardo 24 Dobbins (I did not include any far away, recently-acquired pitchers.)

Our SP'ers are looking a bit more human, of late. They started out walking next to nobody, and now it's 2-3 a start, but te runs allowed has stayed very low. The pen has been doing rather well. Perhaps, that's smoke & mirrors, but I like what I've seen from some of the newbies: OPS Against (PA: K:BB) .111 Slaten (18: 6:0) .458 Campbell (18: 4:1) .465 Weissert (18: 5:2) .598 Anderson ((24: 4:1) Perhaps the biggest surprise, so far. Back again: .294 Jansen (17: 6:5, no hits allowed) .652 Martin (22: 7:0) Was our leader, last season in OPSA. We've had a very solid top 6 in our pen. Wink (.872) and Joely (.732) have struggled (59: 16:5 combined.) Our SP'ers: .346 Crawford (42: 12:4) .437 Houck (45: 17:2) .520 Pivetta (41: 13:1) On IL. .543 Whitlock (39: 12:4) .736 B Bello (65: 11:3) Only SP'er w 3 GS. -
LHP Irvin vs Crawford Gotta win these divisional games. Let's start tonight!
-
I wish he was on the Sox.

Anthony 2-5 w 2 DBLs Mayer 2-3, BB Teel 2-4, BB, w DBL & 3 RBI Yorke 3-5 w DBL Wikelman walked 5 in 2 IP, while letting up 3 ERs.

You are assuming 11 games predict the future and checks all the boxes over the 2023 rotation that included all of this year's starters. Bello, Crawford & Houck led the '23 rotation in starts. Pivetta & Whitlock were 6th and 7th in GS. To me, it is fine saying our pitching has been our strength, this year, but that does mean it is, right now, or will be going forward, especially without our current #2 ERA starter (Pivetta at 0.82.)
-
You mean the guy they moved to 2B, after signing Bogey?
-
He also had a plus UZR/150 and DRS with LAD in CF.
-
I guess we should have drafted even more SSs, in the past.
-
All that matters is JH saved a few bucks.
-
He was just starting to heat up.
-
MLBTR reports... Pivetta’s flexor strain is mild, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow tells reporters (including Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe). The right-hander could come off the IL as soon he is eligible, barring any setbacks.

239 PAs scattered over 3 seasons is not really all that telling, but we should not expect anything great, for sure. .853 in AAA (229 PAs) .856 in AA (344) -
Now, we can't include Pivetta in this summer's fire sale.
-
While watching the enormous breaks on his pitches, his last game, I thought, that muct be putting a big strain on his arm.
-
Isn't one of the unearned runs the ghost runner scoring in SEA without any errors being made?
-
DHam and Wong have 5 and 15 PAs, and should not count on the rankings list, IMO.
-
In terms of plays made: League stats: CF Put out: 11,900-11.950 per yar (90 Fielding Errors, so about 12,00 plays- not counting balls that fell for its. SS18,000-18,500 plays made (POs and Assists) and about 250 Fielding errors for about 21,000-22,000 plays.
-
It seems that high K rates are part of the game, now.
-
I think he ends up figuring it out enough to be a net plus, overall. It may take a while to become a plus on O, and he may never get there, like JBJ did for a 2-3 year stretch and hot spots, here and there. He may be a net plus at just a .650 OPS, career, but I think he can get to .700 or more.
-
I think Grissom might have been viewed as SS depth, before he got hurt.. With the limited winter spending budget Brez had, it's no wonder he didn't go all out for a 3rd string SS. While thinking we could have had better than Reyes and DHam makes sense, too. There is only so much a GM can do to plan for injuries and injuries to your #2 guy at any given position. The plan last year failed, but nobody expected Kike to be that bad on D, and Mondesi to take the whole year off. Bloom did have a plan B and C, but they just failed. Reyes was an afterthought (Remember, Cora was fully confident in Kike at SS. He even kept him there after he said he was not going to be the SS, anymore. I think Brez is waiting to find out how long Story will be out, before making any move. He may end up not making any, even if Story misses 3-5 months. A lot might depend on how they view Grissom as a FT SS..
-
I agree, because I think he will end up hitting well enough to be a solid FT CF'er. He may even end up being a plus on O.
-
True, but that does not change what his floor is.
-
They yanked him after 6. Benitez let up a hit in 2 IP. Guerrero went 1 IP w no hits. Total pitching line: 9 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10K On O, Woo had 6 hits and 10 BB. Hickey homered. Heineman had no hits but scored 3 runs.
