There is no way of knowing until he gets back into the routine. There is anecdotal evidence that some people who feel like they have fully recovered and are at 100%, suddenly have a relapse of fatigue or even worse symptoms. There is also some evidenceof longterm nerve or heart damage, but there are also plenty of examples where people have had no longer term affects, so far. He feels fine. I'm going to try and be optimistic on this one. I hope for the best as our nation just reached a very sad milestone.

Every team must be in on "the secret."

Glad you're not a teacher.

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

$5M/1 was what I said I'd go, but I never expected it might be close to what he ends up getting. I wouldn't mind getting him, if we didn't go over the tax line to do it, but I'd also like to keep some type of pool money for the deadline. That would mean we'd have to trade some salary to do it. I don't see this happening. -
First 2 ABs in college- same inning: 2 grand slams... https://www.huffpost.com/entry/caleb-pendleton-two-grand-slams_n_6033e8d1c5b67c32961f910a

I could see 120 or 170-most likely in between.
-
Brice was on pace for about 50 IP, last year. 55 is basically the same, but yes, if we can get those 50 from a better pitcher, the better off we should be.
-
I loved the Sale trade. I thought the Kimbrel & Pompom deals were overkill, to some extent. The Thornburg and Smith trades both sucked in hindsight, but made sense at the time.
-
I think this might be what is wanted: 1. Verdugo RF 2. Bogey SS 3. Renfroe v L RF /Cordero v R CF 4. Devers 3B 5. JD DH 6. Dalbec 3B 7. Renfroe v L/ Cordero v R or Arroyo/Chavis/Gonzalez 2B 8. Vaz C 9. EHern 2B (CF)

We could easily see 550 more IP than 2020 from ERod, Richards, Sale, Eovaldi, Pivetta & Houck. In the pen, we could see 200 more IP than 2020 from Ottavino, Andriese, Sawamura, DHern, Taylor and Barnes.

They might just be quarantining him out of caution. Plus, it's not like he's the key to our success..
-
He just resigned. The player's union is eating this up.
-
So, that's why Franchy has been a no-show?

A better way to look at the massive overhaul of the IP load from 2020 to 2021 is like this: 2020 Pitchers (prorated IP) that will pitch ZERO IP (or close to zero) in 2021: 115 Weber 79 Mazza 75 Godley 52 Springs 38 Osich 36 Covey 36 Kickham 33 Stock 25 Hembree 24 Hall 21 Triggs Pitchers with significant drop off in IP projected: 81 Valdez 67 Brewer 33 Walden 28 Hart Pitchers with about the same IP in 2021 as their prorated IP in 2020: 147 Perez 125 Eovaldi 65 Brasier 60 Barnes 50 Brice (hopefully much less) Pitchers with more IP projected for the Sox than in 2020 43 Houck to 111 26 Pivetta to 95 22 DHern to 42 (I could see much more) 20 Taylor to 35 0 ERod to 152 0 Sale to 84 0 Richards to 122 0 Ottavino to 64 0 Andriese to 60 0 Seabold to 37 0 Whitlock to 12 0 Schreiber to 10 To simplify, maybe... SP Richards + Sale give us 200 IP ERod +160 Pivetta + Houck +160 combined from pro-rated 2020 numbers RP +60 Ottavino +60 DHern + Taylor from 2020 +60 Andriese

If anybody cannot see the chance for a vast improvement from our pitching staff over 2020, please speak up, now. Here are the fangraphs projected IP vs 2020's prorated IP (2020 IP x 2.7): IP 2020 Pitcher 2021 147 Perez 161 (+14) 125 Eovaldi 149 (+24) 115 Weber > ERod 152 (+37) 81 Valdez 28 (-53) 79 Mazza> Richards 122 (+43) 75 Godley> Sale 84 (+9) 67 Brewer 24 (-43) 65 Brasier 56 (-9) 60 Barnes 65 (+5) 52 Springs> Ottavino 64 (+12) 50 Brice 55 (+5) 43 Houck 111 (+68) 38 Osich >Andriese 60 (+22) 36 Covey> Seabold 37 (+1) 36 Kickham> Whitlock 16 (-20) 33 Stock> Schreiber 10 (-23) 33 Walden 16 (-17) 28 Hart> Gossett 9 (-19) 26 Pivetta 95 (+79) 25 Hembree> McCarthy 6 (-19) 24 Hall> Feltman 5 (-19) 22 DHern 42 (+20) 21 Triggs> Bazardo 3 (-18) 20 Taylor 35 (+15)

Yes, very doable but maybe not such a bad thing, if others are close behind.

I wonder how much the Brewers would pay of Cain’s salary, plus maybe throwing in a prospect. -
Many Sox players were really hitting well from game 30 to 60. An even smaller sample size but not much less significant.
-
I doubt Perez leads the team in IP again, but it could happen. These guys should see zero or much fewer IP in 2021. Addition by subtraction: 3 Weber 4 Valdez 5 Mazza 6 Godley 7 Brewer 10 Springs 11 Brice 13 Osich 14 Covey 15 Kickham 16 stock 17 Walden 18 Hart For some context, Hart had 2% of the team’s IP. Prorated to a full season, he would have had 28 IP. 13 out of the top 18 IP guys pretty much replaced by Richards, ERod, Ottavino, Sale and more from Houck, Pivetta, Barnes, DHern, Brasier, Sawamura and Andriese-Whitlock
-
The prorated number would be about 23-24 games.

Key word “just.”
-
Lol!

How can you say "at this juncture" when Judge is 4 years older and was still in the minors when Devers had already gotten 1680 MLB PAs? It's apples to oranges before we even talk about comparing health issues. Comparing Judge to JD makes more sense, if you have to do so.
-
That seems more like it. Give him a big signing bonus like Tatis got. That goes a long way.
-
If Devers ends up sucking on D at 3B, this year, one of the more likely moves would be to flip Dalbec to 3B and Devers to 1B, and not move Bogey off the SS position. If, and this is a big if, Chavis rebounds, he, too,could play 3B. Bogey is not moving off SS. From a guy who loves SS defense, even I'm not for moving him off SS.
