  1. The diminishment, from my perspective, is greatly outweighed by the rings that were a long time coming.
  2. 10 players with possible 2022 ETAs. Good sign.
  3. This report from March 16th says 27 day prior, so... Chris Sale has rib cage injury WWW.MLB.COM FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Red Sox revealed on Wednesday that lefty ace Chris Sale has a stress fracture in his right rib cage that will leave him off the Opening Day roster for the third consecutive season. In fact, it is hard to gauge when Sale will be able In fact, it is hard to gauge when Sale will be able to return from an injury he sustained 27 days ago while throwing live bating practice at his alma mater of Florida Gulf Coast University, where he had set up a camp for Boston pitchers during the lockout. "unusual Injury for a Pitcher" https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/03/18/sports/chris-sales-injury-is-unusual-pitcher-clouding-timetable-his-return/
  4. Thought so. Maybe giving Sale 60 days is worth it, even if he’s ready before
  5. Can the 60 days start in March?
  6. Heard this for years.
  7. He's out of options, so probably not.
  8. Do we puts Sale on the 60 Day to make room for Story, or do we DFA Potts or Rosario?
  9. Hitting, too.
  10. Who gets the most innings from these groups: A) Eovaldi or Pivetta Houck or Whitlock C) Sale or Paxton D) Wacha or Hill E) Barnes, Diekman, Taylor or Brasier F) Strahm, Davis, DHern, Robles or Sawamura G) Crawford, Seabold, Winckowski or Bello H) Valdez, Holland, Bazardo
  11. Even if he misses part or all of the season, he'll opt out or extend.
  12. I'd love to keep them both, but if I had to choose just one to keep, I'd keep the younger Devers. Now that we have another SS in the fold, injury permitting, it seems even more likely that Devers could be the higher priority. Man, it sure sucks thinking Betts & Bogey leaving before peak prime. I'm just not sure we can afford (after 2022)... $29M x ? Devers $27M x ? Bogey $26M x 4 Sale $23M x 5 Story $??M x ? for Eovaldi or his replacment
  13. I can't see Bogey settling for anything less than $25M x 6 or 7 years. He (BorA$$) might start at $30M x 9.
  14. I once saw Manny make a play, high five a fan and throw out a runner. He was the best fielding OF'er of all time.
  15. BTV has Story at a -7 value. That's actually pretty good for a newly signed big FA. While BTV has some holes in their system, they have been pretty accurate on actual trades made and balanced values. It seems strange they have Houck at 48.8 and Whitlock at 16.6. Basically, it would take trading 3 Whitlocks to get 1 Houck. Our BTV values for pitchers: 48.8 Houck 16.6 Whitlock 11.9 Sale 11.7 Eovaldi 10.3 Bello 8.8 Pivetta 6.6 Gonzalez 5.0 Taylor 4.6 Winckowski 4.4 Walter 3.8 Mata 3.5 Groome 3.4 Crawford 2.9 Seabold 1.7 Paxton 1.5 Liu 1.1 Ward 1.0 Song 2.2 Murphy
  16. It's been a long time for one: two would be like winning the lottery!
  17. Houck has positive experiences starting in the bigs. Whitlock has the three pitches and seems to have all the tools and make-up to be a good starter. Maybe Wacha and or Hill end up in the pen. Maybe Paxton...
  18. You sure "hear" things funny.
  19. All last year, they said they were stretching our Whitlock. He looks like Gumby, now.
  20. No crickets, here. I'd prefer Whitlock, but both are good enough to start, and both will likely do well as starters. The 2 pitch issue is real. The 3rd time through the line-up is real, but so many starters, these days, are yanked after 2 times through, so it's not such a big deal anymore, to me. If we had a stronger pen, I'd like Houck & Whitlock starting. Also, when we give our opinions, we don't claim Cora & Co. will go with out ideas.
