I think we will go with a 1B/DH rotation/platoon type situation with Casas, Hosmer, Dalbec, Cordero, Arroyo and Enmanuel Valdez in the mix to win opening day slots. (Maybe Pham, if the option is accepted.) Arroyo will be on the 26, if healthy as the utility back-up player who might DH, at times. Nobody else on this list really has a slot 100% locked up.

They are very good. They are not as good as the team that started the year and not as bad as the team that is playing, now.
-
Ultimately, the Yanks didn't have a fluky start, they were dominant because they put the ball in play, hit homeruns but also played small ball and pitched better than everyone. The Yanks were never that good. They also are not this bad, either.
-
There is not long stretch left.
-
2 weeks is not really enough to "find out more" about anyone, but if he went red hot over that time period, I think his trade stock might be higher, and maybe a platoon DH may be tried to start the 2024 season, so why not?
-
He has hit .544 for them. He has started 19 games out of 43, so he is not really even their FT starter.
-
I disagree. This team seemed to be going nowhere in July (8-19). I started the 2023 thread on July 22nd. IMO, it was all but over by then.
-
Maybe they are (with his agent.)
-
How about Framber Valdez getting his 25th straight Quality Start (April 24 to now?)
-
Some of Bloom's signings and trades have been looking better, recently. I don't hear a peep about trading Vaz, anymore.
-
Does the fact that Dalbec has 4 HRs in his last 2 games in AAA mean he deserves another look-see?
-
I agree. Offer him slightly more than Story got, and if he refuses give him the QO and wish him luck.
-
Would he refuse to re-sign, if we said he would NOT start?
-
Even more unforgivable is the fact that we did not get under the tax line by trading a few guys.
-
RBI every PA 75+ PAs 6.0 Story (It's 8.1, if you take away his big 6 games stretch) 6.8 Devers 7.6 Vaz 8.5 Bogey 8.6 Kike 8.8 Dugo 8.9 Arroyo 9.0 Pham 9.4 Refsnyder 9.4 Dalbec 9.5 Cordero 9.9 McQuire 10.0 JBJ 10.2 JD 12.9 Duran Amazing how badly JBJ hit, this year, and he still has a better RBI ration than JD.

Some tiny sample sizes, here, but here are the Sox OPS leaders: Red: Bloom acquired after 2021 Blue: Bloom acquired before the end of 2021 season 1.225 Chang 1/071 Almonte .950 McGuire .877 Devers .855 Bogaerts .851 Refsnyder .782 Ja Davis .767 Wong .765 JD Martinez .759 Vazquez .737 Story .735 Arroyo .730 Verdugo .723 Pham .697 Cordero .650 Hernandez .648 Duran .644 Dalbec .611 Hosmer .578 JBJ .574 Plawecki .490 Casas .427 Downs .322 Sanchez .000 Shaw & Arauz
-
McGuire's OPS went from .546 when traded to .675, now. Yesterday's game helped a lot (.656>.675).
-
I don't really see Almonte as being part of next year's team, so I wonder why he's on the 28.
-
Dalbec has 4 HRs in the last 2 games. Is it worth calling him up and seeing if he can revive his stock a little bit? (More about next year than this.) DH him and let JD PH the rest of this lost season.
-
I agree, and I would not be surprised, if he does well hitting in the bigs. He's very close to a 5 tooler.

Being an innings eater helps his WAR a lot. 62nd out of 150 in fWAR among SP'ers from 2021-2022 is pretty damn good for a 4/5 sloy guy. -

Yup. He was doing pretty well before the injury, too.

He's a different pitcher since joining the Sox. -
I was thinking the same thing. Our worst 4 positions are often the top 4-6 positions for offense.
