Not a bad order. We might be able to move mata to the 60 day and keep him in the mix a while longer.... not that we are at some major 40 man roster crunch period, right now. For argument's sake, let's assume we DFA the top 5 guys (except add Mata to 60 day IL) and replace them with only in-system players, as well as add two more to make 40. Here is my call: 39th slot: Eddy Alvarez 40th slot: Luis Guerrero Hamilton> Westbrook Dalbec > Kavadas Guttierez > Fitts Mata > to 60 day IL Valdez> Benitez

Is his defense good enough for the bigs, especially at 3B/2B. soxprospects says he "looks solid" at SS.
-
I'm wondering if we may eventually DFA Dalbec and promote Kavadas to the 40 and 26. He does bat lefty, while Cooper & Dalbec bat righty. Hickey is more of a DH/ 3rd catcher type. Has he played 1B? Meidroth may be better suited for 1B, but I think they keep him at 3B.
-
It seems like DHam's only skill is baserunning. To me, he should be the first infielder to DFA after Reyes. I've not given up an Valdez's bat, but since his D sucks so badly, I doubt he can ever hit well enough to DH, and who wants a platoon DH? Romy might be the best one to keep for 2024, assuming he gets healthy, soon. I'd still like to see us add a SS to the 40- from outside the system.
-
I did not realize a year was lost, but doesn't it for any farm hand we add?
-
Sounds right. How about? Dobbins (24), Paulino (21), Jordan (21) or Bastardo (22) to Woo, at some point, this year? The Garcia brothers or E R-C to POR?
-
MLB.com reports that... Pivetta will get a rehab start- likely Thursday Romy is taking batting practice. Whitlock is only throwing on flat ground. Whitlock has been playing catch “but he still feels it….So no mound progression for him.”
-
We are on pace for 89 wins and missing the playoffs by 3 games (to DET's projected 92 wins.)
-
I doubt December's Rule 5 eligibility will come into play, if we choose to add a player or two to our 40 man roster from within our system, but here are some ML ready or near MLB-ready players on our farm, who are Rule 5 eligible, this December: Jordan & Kavadas (DFA Dalbec?) Yorke and Paulino Fitts & Gambrell
-
We had room for Cooper before Reyes was DFA'd. His spot on the 26 was opened for Coop, yes. -
Who do you see as the most likely to be bumped up a level, next?
-
Good point. I doubt they use Grissom at SS. Maybe Sogard or Alvarez?
-
When is Romy due back? Does he make the 26, when he's healthy?
-
Maybe someone from outside the system will be added. Maybe Westbrook or Meidroth? Maybe we add a pitcher to the 40: Benitez, Guerrero, Fitts or Gambrell?
-
They must have plans on adding a player or two. Maybe it was all about the 9 infielder thingy.
-
Yup. That's what he said.
-
Short-sighted. This was about 6 years and a very hopeful shot at solving the 2B issue we have had for far too long. Spread that $17M over 6 years and add Grissom's arb costs, and the money might look like a win. Is when he was drafted more important than his ranking in their system?
-
29 games seems like nothing, compared to many other injured Sox players. Have we forgotten how many games Sale missed?
-
Yes, they are paying some of Sale's contract to pitch for ATL, and in return we got a recently graduated top 3 prospect from the ATL system- a guy with 6 years of team control. The final judging of this trade has a long way to go.
-
Yes. "We can begin to see..." might have been a better choice of wording.
-
Exactly, and just because Joely got lit up a few times, too many, does not mean the theory behind these types of choices was/is wrong.
-
Finally, we get to see who this guy can be.
-
Of course, but thinking you could not take out Martin due to the 3 man rule, when he had already faced 3 batters is not an opinion. It is factually incorrect.
-
This was really about Joely, and they got it wrong. It happens. They must have seen something in him. It's not like he was on a min wage deal. None of us know what that was, but it was a mistake by Bloom in '23 and Brez in '24. Someone in the system thought he was better than this.
-
It's okay to swing and miss on some of these type of deals, but I have confidence in Rafaela becoming good enough on O to earn his keep.
