MLBTR... Ryan Brasier has begun throwing from 90 feet, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith and other reporters, as Brasier continues to recover from a toe infection. The issue has slowed Brasier’s spring work, though the right-hander and potential closer candidate is expected to be ready for Opening Day.

He's making a case in 1 week of early spring training playing against AA and AAA players? (I'm glad he's looking good, but it's way too early to know anything.)
-
So, we should let the cliff happen, ride it out for a while and then enter a new winning phase?
-
Yes, there are cases where teams make the playoffs and still don't sell out the playoff games.
-
That's deceiving. The Sox did not "tank," and the highest draft picks they have gotten are... 7th in 2013 7th in 2015 12th in 2016 The Astros: 8th in 2010 11th in 2011 (Springer) 1st in 2012 (Correa) 1st in 2013 (Appel) 1st in 2014 (Aiken) 2nd in 2015 (Bregman) 5th in 2016 (Tucker) It's apples to oranges.

Only 15 players had more than 75 PAs and 15 players had more than 30 IP. Two of the 15 batters were HRam (195 PAs) and Kinsler (143). One was Swihart (207). Three of the pitchers were: 74 IP Pom 6.08 66 IP Kelly 4.39 62 IP Kimbrel 2.74 Here's my guess on how the 2019 team 6400 or so PAs might be divided up: 680 Betts 680 Beni 640 JD 640 Bogey 580 JBJ 540 Devers 350 Moreland 350 Pedey 350 Nunez 350 Holt 350 Vaz 300 Pearce 240 Leon 140 Chavis 80 Lin 50 Centeno 80 Travis & others Here's how the 1450 or so IP might be split up: 190 Porcello 180 Sale 180 Price 160 ERod 160 Eovaldi 70 Johnson 70 Velazquez 65 Barnes 60 Brasier 60 Hembree 50 Wright 40 Thornburg 40 Workman 75 Poyner and others

No. I'm not for cutting all PED users, but it doesn't mean I have to gush over them. Just because he used PEDs doesn't mean he had or has no talent or couldn't have made it to the bigs without using them, but I'm never going to know. It's just something I can't accept with open arms. I'm fine, if others do. Like I said, I'll root for the guy, if he makes the team, but he'll never be my favorite player or close to it.
-
I thought Chavis on the team by the All Star Game was hilarious with the insinuation it would be to replace Devers (not Moreland or Pearce or Pedey or Nunez...).
-
Our pen would have to drop off a cliff to make up for 8 games.
-
So, he cheats to build muscle mass, becomes a big power hitter, and then works hard to maintain the muscle mass. That's all good with you? Why do you assume he stopped working out, and nothing is left over from PED use? Maybe it is, but there's a significant chance the PED use is still helping him today.
-
I couldn't disagree with a post any more than this one.
-
I really like our starting 5. It's always nice to have great starter depth, but Johnson & Velazquez aren't even close to the worst 6th starters in MLB. They'd probably win the 5th starter role on some teams.
-
I don't disagree with anything here. I've certainly done my share of wrong in my lifetime. The thing about this cheating is that although he has "paid the price" for his cheating, he still is likely reaping the benefits of the PED usage. It's like a a bank robber doing his time but being allowed to keep the money.
-
I'm concerned about our pen, but I'm feeling better about this team in March than I have in any other year for over a decade. As I said last summer, Cora is the best Sox manager I have ever seen. We have a great offense, a very nice defense, a very solid rotation and decent base running skills. Our pen looks to be about average. I understand why the focus is usually on the team's weakest link, but our team is rock solid.
-
Yes, I totally agree. Many from my parents' generation don't believe in therapy or talking through psychological issues. They let it fester and nearly destroy any enjoyment in life. It wasn't paradise for the surviving siblings either.
-
No. You have a healthy attitude towards life and death. I have 5 sisters- 3 older and two younger. All are still alive and relatively healthy. My Dad is 92 and my mom is 82. They still live at their home and keep the lake house going. They amaze us all. When I was 3, my 2 year old brother drowned in my grandparents pool in Memphis. My parents never recovered, and in my opinion, never faced the anguish, blame and anxiety in a healthy way. We all suffered as a result. I barely remember that sad day, but I know it played a big role in my upbringing and the formation of who I am today. I'm not sure how I will handle the death of my parents, and I'm trying to communicate with them as often as possible, despite my Dad being a real prick too often than any of us care to experience. I've learned that acceptance does not mean agreement, but it took me half my life to figure that out.
-
I understand, but I've always been kinds tough on cheaters, and I think I would be hypocritical, after yapping about Yankee cheaters, to suddenly embrace Chavis or forgive him. If he joins the Sox, I will root for him as hard as anyone else, but if we could get something nice by trading him, I wouldn't be upset. (I would not want to trade him, if we didn't have Dalbec and Casas.)
-
Exactly, and by waiting until July, we may be able to fill two holes not one.
-
I was one of Clay's biggest supporters when he was here, except for maybe the last year or two. He's gone. I prefer to keep it that way.
-
True. I keep looking for a way to trade 2 for 1 better player, while offering marginal players with no options left. Swihart (Leon) Johnson Hembree (Workman) I realize other teams have roster squeezes going on, too, and maybe nobody would give a better pitcher than Hembree & Workman for both of them (or Workman + Swihart for a better RP'er than Workman),
-
Hard for me to know, but if it's just Swihart straight up, it might be a possibility.
-
I didn't say "convict", but I have seen nothing on Petite hitting an 16 year old girls. That's worse than anything else being discussed, assuming it is true. Most down here in Sugar Land, TX seem to think of Clemens as a real creep.
-
Do they have a decent RP'er we could get for Swihart & a prospect or someone like Velazquez, Johnson or Hembree>
-
I heard he can submit a list of 10 names, but the Sox choose the five.
-
All of it in 2 years? (I assume, if you work out you can retain some or most of the muscle gained through PEDS, even after you stop taking them, but I admit, I am no expert on the subject.)
