And that justifies the ends...

It will never be imporant...

I find him disappointing since his arm strength does not match his name...
-
And yet hear we are...
-
Agree on most counts. I think Seabold might make an appearance this year in the event of injury...
-
He means on the 40 man roster. The Sox are much, much more likely to move Mata to the 60 day IL. Also, they could demote Arauz from the 25 man......
-
You think the Sox are going to DFA Whitlock - which they cannot do, they can only return him to the Yankees - because of 7 bad innings?

With jacko, you’re either Cal Ripken or you’re Mickey Klutts. Nothing in between. (For those unfamiliar with Gene Ellis “Mickey” Klutts, he’s often called “the most appropriately named player in baseball history.” In his 8 year career, he spent more days on the Disabled List than his career at bats total. He also might be the most glaring omission from the “Fun With Baseball Names” thread...) -
Even if duran comes up and works out. Cordero/Renfroe in LF, Duran in CF and Verdugo in Rf might be the best possible OF given the current players available, assuming Duran does not disappoint...

He's also never made less than 20.

Jeter is probably not a SS long term. He really doesn’t have the arm. 2b seems like a better fit. But if he plays SS in Worcester, I am not going to look too deeply at it. As for Sox minor league SS depth, the best defensive shortstop between Bogaerts and Matthew Lugo is probably Jeremy Rivera. And he’s about as fringey as it gets prospect-wise. In MLB, he’d probably make Franchy Cordero look like Tony Gwynn at the plate...

While not always ideal, sometimes players in AA and AAA don’t play the same position in MLB. Rookie Jazz Chisholm is off to a flying start in Miami as their 2b despite spending the overwhelming bulk of his MiLB career at short. The Marlins probably anticipated him at short and highly ranked prospect Isan Diaz at 2b. But Diaz has been a flop and career utility infielder Miguel Rojas has been hit as the starting shortstop. So Chisholm slid into the new role...

Is ERod really the de facto team ace in the absence of Sale? Eovaldi has been the best using FIP. Pivetta leads the rotation in W-L record and ERA. Richards has been the most effective after a slow start. So yes, the “ace” situation in Boston is the worst in the East, with Cole, Means, Glasnow and Ryu all outperforming every Boston starter. But can the other rotations stack up depth-wise? A win in game 4 of a series counts as much as a win in game 1...

85% of which will involve Franchy. Or in some cases, Frenchy...

True. No one wants Billy Hamilton. So Billy Hamilton, But Slower just doesn’t get ‘em all worked up...

Defense plays at any level, but many fans don’t appreciate defense if it is paired with a .170 batting average. And sometimes they are right in it not being worth it...

Certainly over a 6 game stretch....

Pawtucket, I mean Worcester, seems to have very little in the way of middle infield depth, espy with Chavis and Arauz in Boston and De La Guerra injured...

5/12 A's @ Boston 7:10PM

If we're grading on the curve against deGrom, that becomes a blowout... -
And that was one of the more optimistic projections. I was in the 80-85 range as well...
-
That would probably happen if they thought Wilson or Santana or whoever was an immedaite improvement...
-
With the exception of Ozzie Smith, no one seemed to care about defense from any player for a long, long time. And in Ozzie’s case it was probably the back flips that people wanted to cover. You never saw these same talking heads getting all gaga over Mark Belanger. Even Gold Glove awards years ago seemed to be influenced by offense...
-
I would be surprised if the Sox called up Wilson and demoted Cordero. It might give immediate benefits, but over any length of time, I suspect Cordero will outperform Wilson...
-
Much like Cordero...
-
There was also an argument about Christian Vazquez after his first two years and 385 PA as a Red Sox player, with several favoring Blake Swihart as the starter. Vazquez numbers after two years and 385 PA were worse than Cordero’s career numbers to date. Did you have an opinion on who should be the starting catcher going forward? I did. I was all about Swihart. Oops. Lesson learned...
