Opening Days in the minors... MAR 29 Worcester @ Lehigh Valley APR 5 Hartford @ Portland Greenville @ Greensboro Carolina @ Salem
-
MLB.com ranks the Sox 23rd in their "World Series Draft," but says they would pick them to win the AL Central. The ALE is well represented in the top 12: 3. BAL 7. NYY 8. TBR 12. TOR

It was a strange off season that saw some outlandish long term deals, and then some deals to very good players seemingly underpaid.
-
3 years will bring a higher AAV than 5, but it might be his last "big payday." I agree that BorA$$ blew it with these guys.
-
Their rotation injuries are mounting, and some that are healthy looked suspect, late last year. They also have stiff competition in their division with Texas & Seattle looking tough. I think they sign him before May 1st. Signing May 1st means mid to late May action. Signing, now, means early to mid April- maybe 6 more starts.
-
They need him, now. I think he won't put them over the tax line, but I could be wrong.
-
Yes, saying we think we should does not mean we think it might or will happen. There are some reports that say we are still in the mix, but I serious doubt we get the prize.
-
Saying I am "highly suspect" means I think JH will approve? Also, it will not be 5-6 years, IMO. It will be 3-4 with a possible 5th year option & buyout.

What's the big worry? .890 Rafaela .900 Story 1.120 Devers .771 Yoshida .602 Casas 1.176 Wong .786 EValdez .794 Duran .961 O'Neill

Astros in "serious pursuit of Blake Snell."
-
I'm not dreaming. I am highly suspect it happens. I do think it would go a long way towards giving us hope for 2024, while still being impactful for 2025 and 2026. The cost should not be really high.
-
Why? No penalty for Monty.
-
That makes sense. My bad.

Opening Day Line-up? 10 Day IL: Refsnyder 1. L Duran CF/ R Rafaela CF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R O'Neill LF 4. L Casas 1B 5. L Yoshida DH 6. R Story SS 7. L Abreu RF 8. R Grissom 2B 9.

Is this the projected 13 man pitching staff on opening day? 60 Day IL: Giolito 10 Day IL: Mata SP1 Bello SP2 Pivetta SP3 Crawford SP4 Houck SP5 Whitlock Long Relief Winckowski Long Relief Criswell Mid Relief Campbell Mid Relief Weissert Mid Relief Slaten Short Relief Bernardino Set-up Martin Closer Jansen AAA Depth Murphy Walter Z Kelly Jacques (AA Wikelman/ A Perales not likely) Not on 40: Fitts, Gambrell Joely, Hagenman, Luetge, Guerrero, Benitez, Politi, Booser AA Hoppe, Olivares

If we end up with the 9th best rotation in MLB, we'll have a strong chance at making the playoffs, despite the fact that 4 of the 8 teams ahead of us are also in the ALE. I think we have a better pen and offense than a few ALE teams. Again, the D might be our downfall, despite some improvements, on paper. I haven't looked too closely at other teams' rotations, but 9th seems way too high. I would have guessed we'd be 15th at best and maybe 20-24th, at worst. 9th with Giolito seems like a big stretch. Without him, it seems absurd.

Teel and VTek similarities... Shades of Varitek in this Boston prospect WWW.MLB.COM FORT MYERS, Fla. – It’s impossible to avoid ruminating on the parallels. Two former All-ACC first-team catchers. Two 14th overall picks. Two players who reached Double-A in their first tastes of the Minor Leagues. One is just getting his career started with the Red Sox. The other won two World

#10 is higher than #9?
-
I agree. He would also be projected to be a big plus in 2025 and a plus for 2026 and 2027, if the deal went that long. Don't give a no trade clause, if possible.
-
I think this is the team we have for opening day: no more significant additions.
-
I did not realize the opt out was 5 days prior to opening day. Send Bobby Dee to AAA. Maybe try to sneak him through waivers, but I have others above him on my DFA list.
-
At least signing Bauer would show an effort to win, this year.
-
Didn’t he sign a minor league deal?
-
Another perfect post.

You could end up being right. I hope not. I'm still looking forward to watching how several players work out and hopefully do well or better. We have a bunch of players pre-prime or just entering it, so some potential is still alive. It's not easy being optimistic, and I certainly am not expecting a great or even good season, but I think there will be enough good things happening to make watching the games fun enough (for me.) I'm also going to be watching more minor league highlights than ever before. I'm going to try to go to a Sea Dogs game, too, after missing out, last year.
