Casas has played 96 games at 1B in the minors (9 at 3B). That's not a lot to know anything. According to soxprospects.com, he's still learning and not yet a plus defender at 1B. Field: Confident picking out throws in the dirt. Moves well enough for first base. Potential above-average defender there. Drafted as a third baseman but footwork was choppy, lacked range, and looked awkward fielding the ball there given his size.

The joyous walk off hit by JD, last night, brought that out, for sure. Yes, every team goes nutty after a come from behind (several times) win like that, but hopefully this will be the "shotof juice" they need to go on and surprise some people, even some bummed out fans like we have on this site.

...and this is how you beat the Rays!

The other factor is the need to limit his innings/starts. We can do that by keeping him on the big club all year as a RP'er and spot starter, but that kind of messes up his SP'er groove. Maybe, the best way to limit his innings is to let him start 22-24 starts (4-7 IP each), which could allow us to send him to AAA for 4-5 weeks and gain an extra year of cheap team control as a side benefit- not the main reason. It's a tough call. He's surely better than many pitchers on our ML roster, but unless we use him as a RP'er, he's headed towards 180 IP plus.

Devers did make a nice play, last night, but swapping the two has a lot of merit. It might be harder to do in the middle of a season in progress, and I think they want to give Devers one more long look at 3B. If we are, indeed a non playoff contender, as you point out, why not find out for sure, even if just for a couple more months? He did look pretty good a couple years back- a very long stretch.

Now, that's how you beat the Rays!

JD the man!
-
Devers forevers!
-
It's up to Houck. Strike 'em out!

JD hit the ball hard.If the IF was just a little more in,it's a hit. Bogey swang at some junk. I'm surprised they did not walk him.
-
Barnes is Noble!
-
Thanks for the blueprint.
-
Vaz- ectomy!
-
Nice hit by Devers- just didn't fall in. JD with the bonehead gaffe.
-
Come on, Bogey!
-
Yes!
-
Yes! c o r d e r o ! Yes!

I was listening to the TB broadcast for a few innings, then tried NESN. I'm switching back. Remy is lost.
-
Nice K! (Who said K's are overrated? )
-
He was on our team (5.45 ERA after a decent 2019 with us.)
-
Exactly. I can't see anybody thinking he'll get over 150 or 160 IP, so we can structure those IP'd in a way where he still gains a year of team control. If we are in the race, this summer, we may choose to value keeping him on the big club all year, even if he does not start more than 20-24 games.

Do you want a blown hold stat?
-
Not sure: just going by soxprospects.com
-
I think they still have dreams of 2018. Hoping he can regain. To me, I like Taylor's chances of being good, going forward, more than Brice and maybe even Valdez, but I guess Brice has some dirt on Bloom.

The Yanks already beginning to weaken their farm, even if just by a small increment.
