USC had the best weekend, as they beat a top 20 team and watched a team ahead of them lose (TN) and a couple others struggle. I think they are in, if they beat ND. Yes, Mich or Ohio St have to lose. The SEC playoff game could know one out or put an extra one in. Lots to go.
-
It's really going to be interesting to see the effects of these shift and baserunning rules. I'm normally against rule changes that seem to be knee jerk in nature, but I think I may like the baserunning rule changes.
-
Then, maybe we should just trade Bello and the rest, before they show how much our system sucks.
-
That would have been nice from us.
-
The guys at SPs seemed to like Politi more than Wallace. Brasier is expected to make $2.3M on arb- time to cut ties.
-
Correa, Nimmo, Fulmer and Kluber would be inspiring.
-
He did not choose to have a tight budget, and many roster slots to fill that dumpster diving had to be part of his actions. When you dumpster dive and settle for lower paid FAs, one shouldn't expect many productive signings. Some of the good: Pivetta trade Renfroe & Kike signings Wacha, Strahm and Hill signing Arroyo, Schreiber, Refsnyder, Kelly signings and waiver claims McGuire trade Farm building trades (TBD) How Story turns out might be what most defines Bloom- that and this winter's moves.

He's not the pitcher he used to be, and hasn't been all that great in the last 2 years: 47 GS/244 IP 15-13 4.17 92 ERA+ 3.66 FIP 1.254 WHIP 4.1 K/BB
-
If he is signed, he should not be the centerpiece of the winter. God, I hope not.

Highest Ranked Sox Prospects Left Unprotected on Rule 5: 9. Paulino 13. Wikelman 18. T Ward 19. Bonaci 37. R Fernandez 38. C Koss 39. Jimenez 43. Angel Bastardo 49. Politi 50. Wallace Updated rankings come out next week.

Soxprospects.com discussed why maybe Hamilton was protected, as some team might have taken him due to the new baserunning-improvement rules. They think Wikelman and Bonaci might be too far away, but with so many tanking teams, maybe they get taken. They discussed Ward and Politi as most likely to be taken. Wallace is too inconsistent, in their opinion. They had Abreu as 50-50. Basically, they said they would n ot have been surprised with Hamilton & Abreu being protected, if Ward had been, too. http://news.soxprospects.com/2022/11/podcast-ep-265-rule-5-protection.html

I think it was 2012, we protected Hassan and left Pressly and Fields unprotected. Both were selected and went on to do good things. I would have protected Ward and DFA's someone on my 5 man list.
-
I just don't see much difference between Beni, Gallo and Bellinger. Beni has a better OBP, but moving Dugo to RF hurts the D more than by adding Gallo. I'm assuming we go with Bogey or Correa. I like Correa's D, but his up and down offense and injury history makes that a tough call. Pitching, pitching, pitching, to me.
-
So, maybe something like Beni in LF and Dugo in RF, and we sign a SS and extend Devers while packing the staff, too.
-
I'm not thrilled with the idea, but I'm pretty sure we'll have to skimp at some position. If it's RF, it may have to be Gallo or Bellinger or some LF'er like Beni with Dugo moving to RF. I am in no way saying I like Gallo as our RF'er.

Shows how much the OF market sucks, this year.
-
Both TCU and Michigan pulled out wins and will likely remain in the top 4.
-
TCU and Michigan are losing in the 4th quarter.
-
MLBTR says the Sox are "showing interest" in ... Kodai Senga Andrew Heany Seth Lugo Corey Kluber Nathan Eovaldi Rich Hill (No mention of Wacha.)
-
I have thought so, too, since the minute we signed Story, but Story's profile is no longer as a solid SS, so that aspect changed, but it does seem like the two are too far apart to expect a return.
-
I think one of these two could very likely end up in a Sox uniform. One major reason is that both will likely sign for a shorter term deal and not at big money. This will allow for at least 2 things: 1. Buy time to allow us to see what Rafaela and Abreu can do for us, in terms of stepping into the gap that will be left when Kike's contract ends. 2. The low cost will allow us to spend at SS, pitching and maybe for extending Devers, too.
-
Agreed, but we do actually have enough to outbid anyone, reset, and still fill another hole or two, but then the Devers question gloomily looms.
-
Someone will pay more than we think he's worth.
-
Cody Bellinger.
