    He's got options, so he's got a good shot at the AAA roster.
  2. moonslav59
    Indeed.
  3. moonslav59
    Matt Thaiss has an upward mobility clause that kicks in 5 days before opening day. If we add him to the roster by then he gets $1.3M. He could also be traded by that date. Kyle Keller has a similar clause that kicks in on April 15th. Vinny Capra has an opt-out June 1st and Jason Delay on June 30th and again on August 15th.

    Hunter Greene out until at least July- bone chips removed from elbow. Remember some talk about trying to trade for him?
  5. moonslav59
    Good point.
  6. moonslav59
    I agree, and the .500 OPS in 2025 might be a bit of an outlier, too. He had a .670 OPS before 2024, and maybe .650 to .675 is his final resting spot, if not DFA or demotion.

    It's wild how Wong is now the second most senior member of the Sox 40 Man Roster. (Houck is #1.) Only 4 players on the 40, were on the 40 back during the 2021 season: Houck, Wong, Whitlock and Duran (added in July '21.) Five more were added by the end of the 2022 season: Crawford, Bello, Story, Kelly & Casas. This does not mean he has been in the Sox system longer than everyone else, but just 40 Man seniority. He has one option remaining, according to soxprospects.com.

    Can't believe it's 2 more weeks!

    These are often gambles. You hit and miss. If KC won rookie of the year, we'd be calling the signing "genius."
  10. moonslav59
    Thank you. It's bigger than the ST'ing one.
  11. moonslav59
    He is having a decent ST'ing, but this is a tiny sample size and he was not very often facing MLB pitching.
  12. moonslav59
    He actually did better in his last 14 games with the Sox in 2025 (.739) than he is doing in ST'ing 2026 and the end of his 2025 farm season. The longer he goes, the more worried I get, but I still am optimistic about his chances.
  13. moonslav59
    Yup. Ideally neither gets a look-see.
  14. moonslav59
    Brez is a genius! We found our big bat!
  15. moonslav59
    I do feel like Masa is more of a known than Casas, but it seems closer, to me. Casas has better numbers and IMO, more upside (and maybe downside, too.)
  16. moonslav59
    He's older, and we do know a little more, but maybe at the age starts a decline. Casas is pre-prime but has the injury thing and not quite enough of a sample size to know anything for sure. The thing that kinda hits me a lil bit is that Masa has just 250 more PAs in MLB than Casas, but it feels like we can predict him way easier than Casas.
  17. moonslav59
    And Masa is not?

    MLB ST'ing OPS Leaders (12+ ABs) 2.167 Duran 1.942 Tyler Black 1.843 Jake Bauers 1.834 Bryson Stott 1.723 Yastrzemski 1.713 McLain 1.661 Brennen Davis 1.659 B Sullivan 1.600 Corey Julks 1.567 Dansby Swanson 1.563 Willson Contreras
  19. moonslav59
    When will we know? 109 OPS+ in first 1206 PAs in MLB (ages 29-31) 117 OPS+ in first 952 PAs in MLB (ages 22-25)
  20. moonslav59
    Don't get sad over a 10 game sample size, especially the first 10 games after a long winter off.
  21. moonslav59
    Yup. Suarez (31 in AUG) 129 ERA+ last 2 years (308 IP)/ 129 ERA+ last 5 years (694 IP) Luzardo (29 in SEP, but contract begins at age 29-30) 104 ERA+ (250 IP)/ 103 ERA+ last 5 years (624 IP) He did have a nice 2 year stretch '22-'23 with a 129 ERA+.
  22. moonslav59
    Phillies extend Luzardo to $135M/5 starting in 2027.
  23. moonslav59
    Indeed, but Betts lived up to every inch of the first part of his deal. As MVP pointed out, he's just about earned all the money, already. I think he'll still be decent for a few more years, too. That's icing on the cake, even if he's not "earning" his remaining salary- year by year. (It's amazing that he's played 5 years and has 7 left.) He's 33 and will be 34-39 for his last 6 seasons of his 12 year deal. Had we signed him to $300M/10, which we are not certain we offered that or he'd have taken it, but we'd be half way through.
  24. moonslav59
    Except it's not spring, yet. (LOL) Are ST'ing games even half over, yet?
  25. moonslav59
    Agreed. He might even have a few decent seasons left in him.
