Any reason? Personal theory - with all the scouting data being over a year old and potentially outdated, the Sox front office wants to get as much current data as possible. If I'm right, this means taking as much of the 6 months as they can...
-
Counting Sawamura? MLBTR has the deal as close...
-
Frazier could also be a LHH OF platoon. He’s a good player, but I would be surprised if the Sox acquired him. Maybe because it’s Feb 15th and I’m used to the off-season being basically over by now...
-
So has Springs. Looks like two potential DFAs with Sawamura potentially joining shortly. Candidates include Springs, Wilson and who? Brewer? Is Brice a legitimate option?
-
I have some hopes...
-
The Sox do have two OF’s capable of CF. They still could bring in Pillar, or they could bring in a LHH OF to platoon in a corner with Renfroe. I like Gardner, but I would be extremely surprised if they sign him. Reddick is probably more likely than Gardner but less likely than Pillar. Like to see Workman come back. And Brice depart...

On deck, Marcus Wilson?
-
I don’t think every pitcher prefers a defined role. Fans universally do. But some pitchers do, some don’t care. As humans, there are very few broad brushstrokes that apply universally. That said, many?/most?/all? probably do prefer to be named closer, as that translates financially...
-
And Renfroe full time in LF?
-
Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?
notin replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I don’t think an OPS of 3.000 makes much difference. Usually only maybe one bench spot is open in spring training, and no one gives those spots to prospects, since it’s a waste of service time. Duran’s only hope in ST is if the Sox decide he is the immediate answer in CF... -
I suspect none will be named until August or so in order to get as thorough of an evaluation as possible...
-
Also per MLBTR, Mets’ GM and former Sox employee Zack Scott has a long time man crush on Khalil Lee. Obviously the Sox don’t know who they want yet, but it could be someone from a list of intriguing players...
-
I don’t mind him in the 7th/8th innings. Or whenever the opposing best hitters are up...
-
Verdugo. I’d like to say Cordero but he needs to last a full season first.
-
So you think DHern will learn to throw a strike?
-
And even then Hanley looked like the right guy until he got injured...
-
Possible that things changed when Betts refused to sign anything and San Diego and the Dodgers came with offers? It always seemed like extending Betts was on everyone’s radar, except Betts’. So Bllom knows Sale is injured, Betts is under control for one more year, and the two best farm systems in baseball are asking about him?
-
... unless said player is named Manny Ramirez. I think 7 year deals for players under 30 (like Manny was) carry much less risk...
-
1. He had to cut the budget by $50 mill. 2. He did sign Martin Perez. 3. The only other actual money spent was $3mill on Jose Peraza. Even Jason Vargas types charge more than that. The goal was to get payroll under $190 mill (or whatever the limit was). Two more MLB starters would cost a minimum of $12 mill. Are you saying for the sake of a lesser grade of mediocrity, the Sox should have jettisoned more payroll? I suppose they could have non-tendered Bradley and signed Gio Gonzalez and Homer Bailey. Would that have made 2020 watchable? Also not sure who plays CF...
-
??? If they win 60 more games than last summer, they would win 84 games and be right where they were in 2019. 84-78 is not a great record, but it is not a losing record...
-
Yeah "underrated" is a very overused and often misused word..
-
And tons more going back on as Cody Bellinger has two years of arbitration left, and that money coming off will be from Kershaw, Jansen and Seager, and maybe Bauer some of whom might require replacing...
-
The "rich get richer" mentalisty carried into the 2000's. The Expos reportedly wanted to draft Derek Jeter, but he wanted the Yankees and they told him they would make him an offer, so he (politely?) told the Expos to pick someone else. And the Padres once had the overall number one pick with two consensus top choices in Steven Drew and Jared Weaver, but they realized both would not sign for an offer the Padres could afford. So they switched over to a local high school kid named Matt Bush, who might have had the rockiest road to the majors since Ron LeFlore. Both Weaver and Drew were winding down their careers by the time Bush was just establishing himself...

Hopefully they gave him enough money to afford a subscription to Dollar Shave Club. Dude looks like a hobo...

Jeff Luhnow...
