I'm with you 100%.
-
Why do you say things like this? Me saying he's a FA in 2 years does not come anywhere close to saying I'm advocating letting him go at all, let alone for nothing.
-
You do know I've typed "Devers Forevers" about a hundred times in the past year. My point is, you don't assume he'll be locked up. You make plans for just in case, and in this case, Casas is under team control for well beyond Devers, so I just don't see 1B in the plans for Devers. It's not like I've never said it might be a good idea. It's not like we can't trade Casas (and or Dalbec), of they both fizzle and we end up with Devers at 1B. It's likely been discussed as a contingency plan. I'm sure management explores all kinds of plans and options. I just don't see it as a plan being front and center. With a need for pitching and and OF'er or 2Bman and Bogey probably opting out after 2022, I don't see 1B/3B as a place we are looking to shake things up.
-
For what it's worth, the BTV site has had Verdugo's value hold pretty steady, despite losing years of team control. Duran & Downs have seen their stock fall.
-
He's a FA in 2 years, so that's all we plan for.
-
No, but untiul we find out, we shouldn't be acquiring someone to play 1B, or someone to play 3B with the idea of moving Devers to 1B for 2 seasons.
-
I guess there is a chance Casas fizzles out, but he has to be penciled in as our future 1Bman. Dalbec may move to LF, DH, 3B or another team, once Casas proves he belongs.
-
Could we still sign Schwarber? (Maybe trade Duran?) 1. Kike 2B/CF 2. Devers 3B 3. Bogaerts SS 4. Schwarber LF 5. JD DH 6. Verdugo RF 7. Dalbec 1B 8. Vazquez C 9. JBJ/Arroyo CF/2B

Not much progress, today. Some interesting proposals by the MLBPA: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/no-substantive-progress-between-league-mlbpa-in-todays-labor-talks.html Still very far from a deal.
-
Trading JD will not move Devers to 1B.

MLBTR... It’s a very minor move in the players’ favor, but one that seems unlikely to thrill the union. The MLBPA actually increased their desired league minimum in yesterday’s proposal (to MLB’s chagrin), seeking a $775K figure next season that’d climb $30K annually to $895K by 2026. The union paired that with a slight dip in its efforts to expand arbitration, but the league has stringently refused to entertain the possibility of broader Super Two eligibility altogether. Last season, the league minimum was set at $570.5K. As Travis Sawchik of the Score calculated last month, the minimum would need to be set at $650K in 2022 to keep pace with inflation, relative to the terms of the 2016-21 CBA.

The game was close for most of the time, and a one run game for much of the ending. The Bobby Grich 2 run HR that went off Hendu's glove put the Angels up by one. Had that not happened, maybe we don't need his later inning heroics.
-
Devers is not moving to 1B. Two words: Dalbec Casas
-
Indeed, but who knows what would have happened had he not turned that Angel out into a homer, earlier in that game.
-
Yes, but with no Hendu, he probably plays.
-
I felt bad for Buck, too. It was hard not to. My anger was directed towards management, as if often was, until Henry took over the reigns- well, actually, I like the Duquette appointment.
-
Oh! No! You Dih-Ent!

#48 Durbin Feltman: https://soxprospects.com/players/feltman-durbin.htm Potential up-and-down relief type. Ceiling of a middle reliever. Unlikely to develop into a late-inning option unless the raw stuff he showed in 2018 returns. Both fastball and slider show at least average potential and his curveball has developed into a nice complementary pitch to give hitters another look. Fastball command will be key to development, as well as whether he gets comfortable throwing it up in the zone given renewed emphasis on that in today's MLB. #47 Freili Encarnacion: https://soxprospects.com/players/encarnacion-freili.htm High baseball IQ and makeup. Potential leader. Well-liked by his teammates. The organization believes he has potential to develop into a middle-of-the-order bat. Defensive projections remain to be seen. Wide range of possible outcomes.
-
He's one reason why Armas was on the bench.
-
Working out a way to knock him off, yes!
-
It was like a punch in the gut. Glad he only had one decent year with them.
-
And the goat to hero game against the Angels.
-
Armas sure declined quickly after that great '84 season, but he still started 116 OF games in '86. 1984 43 HRs and 123 RBI (.831 OPS) 1985 23/64 (.812) 1986 11/58 (.714) That .454 OPS in his last 24 games of the season was enough to bench him. (Dave Henderson took over.)
-
Agreed, but seeing Tiant and then Boggs in pinstripes hurt me more.
-
Armas was considered a starter and Lyons on the Bench.
