So, JoJo left his home in Fresno, California Bought some Arizona grass.

If they use expanded squads, then we need to add more depth to our 40 man roster- not that it wasn't already a high priority.
-
I'm usually over confident each winter/spring. I, too, was not in 2013, and I wasn't for 2020, either. I had thought we should have gone younger with all the deals in 2012 and shot for 2014-2015. I think, with a few additions, we can compete for the playoffs in 2021 and maybe more in 2022. -
Ahhh, that was the big unknown, on my part.
-
Seems like a steal. Maybe something is up with him that we don't know about.
-
One that cracked me up was the same kid thought Stairway to Heaven said "There's a wino down the road..." Another thought the song "Voices Carry" was saying "Was it scary?"
-
I would not be surprised, if we sign 2 from this list.
-
Maybe giving 3 days off a few times maybe once in June, July, August and September would allow for series or games to be made up.
-
Messed up. We may see a shortened season, too.
-
That was the first time he ever cam close to 200 IP. His highest before that was 137. He's had knee issues, which can come back easily. Who knows how much his heart issue will affect his 2021 season. I'm thinking we start him out slowly- very slowly.

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

Taylor is off the board. -
The funny thing is, all these guys have options remaining, except Brice, who may be the worst or 2nd worst of the group, so YES, add 2-3 RP'ers and use the bottom 3 as AAA depth. As we know, teams usually use 16-22 RP'ers during a full season usually 8-12 with significant innings. I'd rather use Brewer, Brice and Springs as our 9-11th RP'ers than our 6-8th. Other AAA depth RP'ers might be Walden, Bazardo, Shawaryn, Feltman, Poyner or Mazza/Weber/Mata/Seabold/Hart
-
Funny, yes, but I knew a kid who swore it was, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
-
I might give any 2 from Chavis, Chatham or Groome for Wheeler $4M a year.
-
I like the new photo. I have to think we are positioned to spend more than many other teams, but most of those teams are below us on the projected WAR rankings, already. My guess is, we can climb to #9-10- maybe 7-8, if we go over the tax line. That puts us in playoff contention but maybe not high ring contention.
-
ERod may say he's fine, but he will likely be pampered. Eovaldi is almost always out for some or long periods of time. making him the closer may be the best idea. Sale may not be back until July or August. Pivetta could surprise, but we need a plan B. Houck will likely be on a strict pitch and inning count for 2021. He may spend some time in AAA to lengthen his years of team control. Mazza, Seabold and Mata offer some depth, at some point in the season- maybe as "openers". Let's add up the expected months each of the top 5 will pitch: ERod 5-6, Eovaldi 2-5, Sale 1-3, Pivetta 4-6, Houck 3-5= 15-25 months. Let's say 21. That's 3.5 starters total. Expecting Mazza, Seabold and Mata to fill those 48 starts and keep us competitive is asking a lot. If we end up with 15-18 months, it means we have 2.5 to 3 starters total. IMO, we need to add 2 solid & durable SP'ers and maybe one AAA type. If we move Eovaldi to the pen add one more.
-
What if Philly pitched in $3-5M per year?
-
I could see us signing Lester & Porcello and a couple RP'ers, but if we move Eovaldi to closer, we may need one more legit SP'er.
-
Agreed, but I still think we need at least 1 more SP'er for depth, if we want to contend. Maybe a AAAA type.
-
I'm not counting on ERod in April. If he's healthy the 3rd guy becomes our 6th starter or long relief guy. Remember, I said 1-2 guys would be 5/6 starter types. That means starter depth and maybe even starting in AAA.
-
Michael Taylor signed with the Royals. If we want to go dirt cheap in CF and use most of our budget on pitching, I think Marisnik may be that guy.
-
I agree, taking back McCutchen is not a good idea. I thought he was a better defender than he currently is.
-
I was never really keen on this idea, but maybe the time has come. We'd need even one more SP'er than we already need, which means going from needing 2-3 to needing 3-4, including one to two 5/6 starter types.
-
My point was always about GS'd NOT IP. I never even thought of the "opener role." If they started him out in that role, he could easily get 12-14 "starts".
-
Famous denials followed by trades are not uncommon. Trade values accepted this deal: Duran, Chavis & Groome for Wheeler, Kingery, Eflin, Romero & $3M.
