  1. So, Fenway is 2nd or 3rd worst, even now?
  2. I've answered this before. The sooner we go over- the sooner we will have to reset. I am thinking our chances of winning in 3, 4 or 5 years will be better than 2020's chances, so staying under now, buys one more year before the next reset- in theory. I realize the whole system could change next year, but it appears the Sox are thinking they want to stay under, this winter. I'm guessing their long term plans out weigh the short term ones, at this moment in time. I hoping that changes, next winter. I'm pretty confident it will.
  3. If we signed Odorizzi, someone like Pivetta or Houck would bolster the pen. Some even suggested making Eovaldi the closer. Adding pitching always helps. Maybe GMs saw something in Odorizzi's 2020 season that scared them away. They don't always shy away from someone over one bad 60 game stretch.
  4. Seems strange, when everyone needs pitching.
  5. The trend seems to be to put one of your best hitters up first, unless they are very slow. I agree that Verdugo is a better choice than EHern. Plus, EH's OBP is not as good as I thought. His power drives his OPS.
  6. Agree, and it's a better defensive alignment.
  7. Yup. No way Sale would have come back in just 60 days, even if he felt ready.
  8. Makes me wonder why either will last to the 4th pick.
  9. Especially at SS and CF.
  10. True. Next step: keep quantity while working on quality. Winter 2021-2022 is the key. This draft is important, too. Improving our IFA signings, as well.
  11. Fenway is better, now, but it was a minefield back in Fred's day. They put padding on the CF wall after he broke his back slamming against it to make a catch. It is still one of the most unsafe OF's in MLB.
  12. Tell that to Fred Lynn's broken back.
  13. We might as well get Odorizzi, too, then.
  14. Great idea. Change everything.
  15. That's what I have felt all along. EHern or Cordero in CF.
  16. Just about right. Maybe a buyout of $500K to make it $7M/1 or $12M/2.
  17. If Frazier plays well, he will play and play. Plus, someone will get hurt.
  18. Word is talking to the Tigers, but I don't count Porcello in the same category as Odorizzi- more like with Cole Hamels.
  19. Odorizzi is the last one standing.
  20. On Roberto Hernendez © http://news.soxprospects.com/2021/02/scouting-report-updates-ronaldo.html
  21. Who will be your next "most hated" Yankee?
  22. If you had to choose from just these two line-up options, which would you choose? A. 1. Hernandez CF 2. Verdugo RF 3. Devers 3B 4. Bogey SS 5. JD DH 6. Renfroe-Cordero LF platoon 7. Dalbec 1B 8. Vazquez C 9. Arroyo 2B B. 1. Hernandez 2B 2. Verdugo RF 3. Devers 3B 4. Bogey SS 5. JD DH 6. Renfroe LF 7. Dalbec 1B 8. Vazquez C 9. Cordero CF Who else could lead off? Cordero? Bogey? Verdugo?
  23. Now, the Yanks are even with last year's club.
  24. I thought he'd get at least $15M/3 or $12M/2, but who is left to pay him even that much? Houston?
  25. Looks like the Gardner-Yankee talks have resumed. Minor league deals: Todd Frazier to Pitt Tyson Ross to SD I wonder if we make a few minor league deals, soon.
