If Dalbec has an OPS of .785, Casas could be posting a 2.000 in Portland and all it will earn him is a trip to Worcester. Why risk losing Casas to free agency at age 28 to upgrade during a season in which the Sox are without Sale?
-
If Casas takes over 1b from Dalbec, it does make Dalbec expendable and therefore a potential trade bait for pitching, especially if he only lost his job due to Casas raking, as you suggest, and not his own performance. So why relegate him to a bench role if/when he can be used to acquire a decent pitcher?
-
It's one think to not bring up a 21yo Triston Casas now only to see him reach free agency at age 27, just as he is entering his "prime" years. But Houck will be entering his age 25 season this year. Delaying his service time therefore buys the Sox his age 32 season, which might not be worth it, if it ever even exists. I don't see service time being an issue here...

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical

Who is Dutchy? Retired forum poster? And if you think you finally figured me out, I am not all that complex... -
Middlebrooks had zero ability to recognize pitches and judge the strike zone (by MLB standards). Dalbec appears to be much, much better in this regard....

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical

But it keeps a forum inside joke alive... -
But is there any type of system that can be put in place that will not allow some sort of manipulation?
-
The Players Union fought very hard to get a service time clock and free agency. It's not going way easily....
-
But then the Sox are penciling him into the lineup knowing very well he could be hitting .215 by July 1st. Chances are they pay more attention to what they know he can do - draw walks and hit home runs. If he is hitting .215/.335/.450 with 12 Hrs on July 1st while batting 8th/9th, is his job really in jeopardy?
-
Me neither. Apparently both Venus and Serena bought a share of Miai Dolphin team ownership back in 2009, when the pair were still dominating the tennis world...
-
I think Pivetta "won" the role by having no options remaining...
-
Venus Williams is a part owner of the Miami Dolphins...

Cashman: That incident at the charity gala is particularly disturbing and you have become a troublesome stain on the proud legacy and brand of the New York Yankees. We are going to have to recommend some serious counseling and rehab sessions. German: I'm 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA. Cashman: Counseling completed!!
-
If they go with 3 bench players, and no on starts the year on the IL, Chavis is the only one with an option remaining. It's not like having him start the season in Worcester means he is cut from the team and gone forever. If he is finally hitting well, doesn't it make sense to have him someplace where he can try to keep up the pace?
-
Because every mentoring session should begin with the question "Do you own a gun?"
-
I wen to high school with a kid named Cliff Window...
-
Plawecki is a given. So he probably bumps Chavis to Worcester...
-
Sure they could have. But at some point, we all knew the spending was going to stop. It probably didn't help that he did keep riding the bicycle in 2019 and the team was barely above .500. That's more like treading water than riding a bike, I suppose. Maybe if the 2019 did not underachieve? Maybe knowing Sale was going to miss significant time? And it's really hard to call an owner cheap when the team's payroll is in excess of $240 million...
-
Was it? You didn't see the bottom after last season's plummet?
-
Didn't Michael Jordan take a partial ownership role in the Washington Wizards and then come out of retirement and play for the Wizards?
-
Well, depends on where the beer is....
-
But my point was he would have been hazed as a rookie regardless of team.. He would have had to go through something demeaning or humiliating or whatever had he been a rookie on the Athletics or the Braves or the Dodgers or the Nippon Ham Fighters...
-
But Herandez has alread been there. Those projections are basically projected fWAR/bWAR against salary projections. As of now, it looks like the difference in projected performance vs projected salary favors Hernandez...
-
But it is the off the field stuff that can keep him, well, off the field...
-
A little bit of liberty with his past there...
