    Careful, you'll have ole red calling you a psychiatrist.

    The guy was praising Bloom 3 weeks ago. These short sample size, knee-jerk judgments never seem to stop, despite being burned over and over by them. Sure, a few times it comes out to be an actual precursor to the season as a whole, but often enough, small sample sizes do not accurately reflect a team's true skill levels.

    Wasn't Danish one of those COVID additions allowed but not on the 40?
  4. moonslav59
    Both are listed on the 40 man per soxprospects.com: https://soxprospects.com/40man.htm

    Reality sucks, sometimes.

    As long as you end up at .745 (Arroyo) or .775 (Dalbec) it's not all that bad, but I get your point. It's also no guarantee both will even end up over .650, let alone .700, but then again, Casas, Duran, Sanchez and Fitzy might not, either. How long is long enough on guys like Arroyo, Dalbec and Cordero. Or, JBJ, Kike and Vaz?

    Arroyo's track record also includes a decent .745 OPS from 2018-2021. (.711 including 2022.) Dalbec now has 620 career PAs and a .775 OPS. That's not bad for any players first 620 PAs- also 34 HRs and 97 rbi.

    Duran needs to play everyday. I think the Sox feel like giving JBJ and others a month or more to work things out is reasonable. They stuck with Cordero for a long time, last year. Same with Marwin and don't forget, Renfroe was under .500 at the start of May, last year. Cora was being roasted for keeping Kike at lead-off, and people were saying Dalbec should be DFA'd, demoted or traded. There is evidence that giving players longer than a month works out. Maybe more leeway is being given due to the short spring training. If the idea is to call up Duran to play as much as Refsnyder, I can see why they waited. I'm not sure they are all that close to pulling the plug on Dalbec, either. Arroyo, too. I'm pretty certain, they are not considering benching Kike. He'll get at least another month, IMO.

    Quite frankly, I'm surprised the farm was rebuilt, so quickly. We are still not a top 5 or 6 farm, but I think we are approaching top 10 status. We won't have high picks, this draft, but let's see what happens. We do get the comp pick from last draft.

    Nice post. I think Groome's drop says more about the rise of the Sox mid tier prospects than anything bad about Jay. The guy does have a decent .638 OPS Against, a 3.60 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. The 19-5 K:BB ratio in just 15 IP is pretty nice, too. The guy is 23. I think it's close to time to bring him up to AAA, and see what's up. Bello may be close to a promotion, too.

    He seems like the logical choice, but to me, Walter seems better.
  12. moonslav59
    The can of worms remains closed.
  13. moonslav59
    It's the PED-laced drinking fountain in the clubhouse- I swear it!
  14. moonslav59
    The only relevant question, now, is did you scratch your head?
  15. moonslav59
    He was a great one- no doubt.
  16. moonslav59
    soxprospects.com made some recent adjustments. Here are the biggest risers: Lugo 29>24 German 35>30 Murphy 15>11 Rafaela 19>15 Walter 9>6 Binelas 21>18 Gonzalez 11>9 Bello 5>4 Biggest drops: Groome 6>10 Jordan 10>14 Downs 13>16 McDonough 17>20 Paulino 23>26 Bonaci 25>27 Duran 4>5 Seabold 13>14
  17. moonslav59
    My others might be Wikelman Gonzalez, Brayan Bello, Miguel Bleis or Ceddanne Rafaela.
  18. moonslav59
    Walter.
  19. moonslav59
    You must be a rocket scientist!
  20. moonslav59
    Don't go changing the question on him. He, alone, gets to do that.
  21. moonslav59
    Maybe JBJ + Binelas & Hamilton for a bag of balls?
  22. moonslav59
    Cordero could be sent down not DFA'd. JBJ can be a defensive replacement.
  23. moonslav59
    So, you like Seabold, now?
  24. moonslav59
    So, DFA/trade Arroyo?
  25. moonslav59
    That's too easy to say. I doubt it works out that easily. Plus, Iggy got a 4 year deal. that changes the dynamic.
