We need a lot to happen, but some are not all that far-fetched. Barnes rebounds from his bad last 10 innings of 2021. Dalbec hits well, all year. Wacha pitches like he did near the end of 2021. Hill stays healthy. Sale pitches for 4 months not 2. Brasier plays all season. Verdugo improves like we expected last year. JBJ rebounds. Duran nears expectations. Bogey has a career year. Vaz returns to near .800 hitting like 2019-2020. Arroyo stays healthy. Devers has a career year. Pivetta continues improving. Houck and Whitlock grow and pitch more innings. We don't need anywhere near all these to happen, just maybe half. I can see the gloom, too, though.

I felt the same way, last March.
-
Almost every trade made, so far would have been accepted on BTV, and the Chapman trade was not a gross underpay. It is far from perfect, but if the Yanks took a declining Rizzo to play 1B, they must not value Voit that highly. I think they'd rather have Casas or Dalbec.
-
The guy with one season over a 1.0 bWAR and a career -8.2 DWAR?

The 40 man: to 60 Day: Paxton Devers Bogaerts Eovaldi Kike Houck Whitlock Verdugo Sale (to IL) Pivetta JD Paxton Dalbec Duran Wacha Hill Arroyo Barnes Vaz Taylor JBJ Bello Downs Brasier Mata Winckowski DHern Seabold Groome ADavis R Hernandez Wong Plawecki Crawford Valdez Arauz Bazardo Rosario Potts
-
Yes, and maybe a solid pitcher.
-
If Sale returns in 8 weeks, he'll be one. Here's a stab at the 8 from within the system. Eovaldi Pivetts Wacha Hill Houck Whitlock Sale 1 from Wonckowski, Crawford, Seabold or Bello

I found this "consensu ranking list, which averages out Soxprospects, BA, BaseballProspectus, Law and fangraphs: https://www.overthemonster.com/2022/1/24/22898832/red-sox-top-prospects-2021-marcelo-mayer-triston-casas-nick-yorke-jarren-duran-bryan-mata I put a space between big gaps. 1. Mayer 1.8 2. Casas 2.0 3. Yorke 2.6 4. Duran 4.5 5. Bello 5.6 6. Downs 6.6 7. Mata 9.4 8. Groome 9.8 9. Jordan 10.6 10. Jimenez, Walter, Gonzalez 11.4 13. Seabold 13.4 14. Blies 14.6 15. Winckowski 16.2 16. R Hernandez 17.0 17. Lugo 18.6 This list seems pretty reasonable, and the gaps as well.
-
Jimenez and McDonough seem to be higher than other ranking sites.
-
Well, the Gonzalez ranking goes against the sooner call-up theory. I think after Mayer, Casas and Yorke, it's pretty much a guessing game.
-
Same here. If Wacha or Hill suck, we could see both starting by May.
-
I could see that deal for Manaea, Pache and Trivino (accepted by BTV) but they will get better for Montas. Maybe Peraza, Garcia & Voit for Montas & Piscotty would be accepted by the A's. It was by BTV,
-
His numbers may explode at Coors. Maybe that's what he cares about most. Nice city, too.
-
Matt Duffy to LAA for only $1.5M. Hmmm....
-
Glad we did on him, assuming we even kicked the tires.
-
If you guys are so low on Voit, why would OAK want him so badly, even if paid for by NY? You're not getting Monats for Peraza & Voit.
-
II totally respect that view and see several reasons to choose Houck over Whitlock. It's nearly a 50-50 choice, to me.
-
Adding Diekman puts us at 40 on the 40 man roster. Paxton will go on the 60 IL. Maybe Sale, too.
-
Reds say they are not trading Castillo or Mahle. Expect a deal, shortly. The Royals, yes the ROYALS, just signed Greinke to $13M/1 with $2M incentives. MLBTR reports Joe Ross was placed on the 60 day IL to make roster space on the Nats 40 man. I thought teams couldn't do that until opening day. Did that change or am I misremembering, again?
-
I don't recall. Then, we heard only west coast teams. I'm still thinking he might have chosen us, if we offered more. I just think Bloom has a lower value placement than other GMs or his limited spending budget is forcing his frugality.
-
You might want to know Whitlock is 18 days older than Houck, so maybe your "as young and inexperienced" statement needs revising, too. On "experience," Houck has 13 more innings in the bigs. Minors: 205 Whitlock 270 Houck Not a big difference there, either, but still significant.

lol
-
Pitches per PA 3.86 Whitlock 4.02 Houck
-
Interesting note: pitches thrown in 2021: 1150 Whitlock 1149 Houck

Sorry, my eyesight is toast. I thought it said 7+ inning DH's. My bad. My new glasses are worse than I had B4. Going back to the doc, soon. Sorry.
