Devers tops the 1.000 mark! Where is the poster who wanted him to change his approach, now?
-
Don-dee Dom-Dom!!
-
We do have… Josh WIN ckowski!
-
Agreed.
-
As long as we have Ref, who kills lefties, we are all set in RF.
-
I must have been higher on McGuire than some GMs. (Not the first time.)
-
Out of the 3 series before the ASB, we took 2 of 3 from NYY and KCR. Not "horrible."
-
Good idea, but bye bye.
-
this might be one thing every poster has the same answer: NO! (I would not have traded Anthony for Flaherty, Scott and Garcia-combined.)
-
We should start a whole thread on this... Oh WAIT!

We've certainly had our share of key injuries, maybe more, but yes, every team has some hard luck story or two. I do think this team can turn it around, and get back into the playoff circle. They seem to have more grit than recent teams, 2021 notwithstanding. The pitching, as always, will be the key. Both the rotation and the pen, have fallen off a cliff and need to get back on track. Maybe the arrival of Garcia, Sims and maybe later, Hendriks, Priester and Slaten/Martin will provide the boost we need. Of course, our offense has to keep hitting, and be more consistent, but that is a given. Despite the metrics showing otherwise, our defense looks slightly better to me than it was in April. (O'Neill has not.) If I had to make a prediction, 83-84 wins seems about right.

On the farm, today: Make-up game AAA Grissom, Hickey & Meidroth homered. (Meidroth walked once, too.) Valdez & Casas 1-3 Penrod let up 6 ERs and got the loss. He sure fizzled out.

There was really just one poster who kept harping on the "wasted pick" Yorke was. I do think others lost faith or hope he'd come through, after some meh numbers he put up, until the recent AAA promotion. I'm not sure many gave up on him, but some felt he was likely going to be best utilized as a LF'er, and we are loaded there, and look to be even more loaded in the OF, in the next 2-4 years. If he ends up being a MLB 2Bman, I won't be shocked, but I think he might be better suited for LF. While 2B has been the team's weakest spot since 2019, we do have a bunch of players and prospects that have close to, equal or more promise at 2B than Yorke does. Many of us have spoken of our need to trade everyday players and prospects for pitching, since we mostly draft everyday players and develop them better than we do pitchers. This was an attempt to do that. I respect the attempt. Time will tell on the results.

I'm a big Abreu fan, and there are no trades until winter. I'm not sure when they think Anthony gets "the call," but when he does, Abreu will be squeezed (or Anthony, I suppose.) Duran is FT LF or CF. (I might be okay in RF.) Rafaela should be our FT CF'er. That leaves RF for Abreu & Ref, assuming O'Neill or the like are not on the '25 roster. Campbell might off the RHB we need for LF, so that would squeeze Duran to CF (or RF) and Rafaela to RF or the bench, if Anthony/Abreu and Ref fight over CF and back up OF roles. Yoshida as the FT DH takes away a landing spot for the "left out" OF"er. We don't have an issues, now, as long as Rafaela stay at SS.
-
Just 1 hit and 3 BB!
-
Probably not, but more chance there thanSS.

I've listed them several times, and Yorke was playing more LF than 2B, anyway, once promoted to AAA. Here it is, again: Story or Mayer DHam Grissom Romy Westbrook and Sogard were both called up over him. EVladez hass till played more games at 2B than anyone else in 2024. Campbell Meidroth Riemer Soon to be: Romero, Cespedes, Zanetello, Arias This is not to say all the guys are better or closer to ML ready, but we are deep in quantity over quality at 2B, and Yorke did not stand out any more than many on this list.

And Crane was later caught lying about knowing nothing about it.
-
Might it have meant there is just too much competition at LF/2B? If it was about the "not hacking BOS," I agree that is and always has been BS.
-
Hinch knew it was going on and did not stop it. He was the manager. At worst, he'd tied for most responsible with anyone else. If Hinch said stop, it stops.
-
File it under you misunderstood his post. Randy did NOT say Yorke would not make it in the bigs: he said "with the Sox."
-
Was it an "overpay?" That was the question.
-
What I liked most about Fedde was his team control though 2025 at just $7.5M. (To b e fair, Edam was under control through 2025, too, so O'Neill was not really a good comp.)
