It’s Kaleb Ort time!! -
One story is he heard that Mets GM Zack Scott was really high on Lee, so he acquired him for the sole purpose of flipping him to the Mets, presumably for something they had that he liked...
-
I’m sure they saw him play. He’s been scouted to death, like most prospects. He’s struggling now. He was a BA top 100 prospect in 2019, and then didn’t play in 2020 and hasn’t been ranked since. He may never crack anyone’s list again, but that’s the Mets’ problem now. The bottom line for Boston is the Mets wanted him badly enough to give up a PTBNL that Bloom wanted. And this winter, the two teams agreed on a list of candidates. And that list isn’t going to change if Lee flops completely and strikes out in his next 100 at bats. The Sox sold high on a guy they controlled for mere seconds.
-
I would imagine that happens soon. It seems odd for a 1st place team to be counting on Danny Santana to be a savior...
-
And he was/is by every scouting bureau that rates prospects for MLB...
-
Part of the new metrics does involve separating things you can teach a player from things you can't. It doesn't always work, and no method ever will. But some teams prefer the raw tools, knowing it is easier to teach a kid to recognize pitches than it is to teach him to run faster...
-
His stock might fall, but it doesn't impact Boston. The list of potential PTBNLs has been agreed upon for months now...
-
He struggled in ST, too, but let's not forget he didn't play much at all in 2020. Thy're also rushing him due to a rash of OF injuries and very little depth below MLB. I doubt the Sox miss him, but others have struggled early on as well. Yoan Moncada struck out 12 times in his first 19 AB's for Boston. (And yeah, supposedly Lee is a very good defensive player.)
-
It might be possible that the Sox pitching is propped up by playing 10 games against the Orioles, which represents nearly one quarter of their schedule. The Jays have not played any team 10 times yet, with their most frequent opponents being the Braves and the Yankees at 6 games each. Those games represent about 1/3 of their schedule to date. The Braves curretnly rank 10th in MLB in runs scored. The Yankees are a disappointing 17th. But both are scoring more frequently than the Orioles (23rd)...
-
Yes we all knew all of that. Some of us didn’t feel like typing the minute exceptions...
-
As opposed to the controversial dropped third strike rule?
-
So who throws today’s no hitter? I’m thinking Rich Hill...
-
Pitchers gets the K, too. Just no putout for the catcher. If you’re going to challenge any rule about strikeouts, maybe it should be catcher getting the putout. The pitcher is the guy who made it happen...
-
I made a post somewhere we are well on track to seeing a record number of no hitters this year. And then Wade Miley threw one a couple days later. Five and counting in 2021. The record in a single season is seven (1990, 1991, 2015)...
-
Is there any kind of timetable on Houck?
-
Only a 1.5 game difference right now, but even if the Sox have a tough week, Tampa and Toronto play each other this weekend, so one of them will get a loss in each game...
-
They lost 8-0. ERod could have given up 1ER over 8 innings and they still would have lost...
-
Everything Eovaldi has done in his career came after a stint on the DL/IL...
-
But he wrote most of the CCR songs, and when he became a solo artist, was unsuccessfully sued by his former record label for - get this - sounding too much like John Fogerty. True story...
-
Zambrano relived for the Cubs for a while. All 3 did return to starting roles. Even Smoltz, who was a starter for the last 5 seasons of his career, including briefly in Boston...
-
John Smoltz. Carlos Zambrano. Chris Sale was also very briefly moved into the closer role in 2012 due to elbow tightness. He had one appearance as a closer, blew the save, and was promptly returned to the rotation...
-
And "occur" is a dog in Southern California?
-
Why not "with a scoundrel"?
-
I doubt they add one not named Duran...
-
And now you ruined it...
