It wasn’t going to slow. It got injured and will spend the next 15 days on the IL...

Not if we bring back Clay Buchholz!!
-
They’re just going to dump everything on mvp’s lawn....
-
He might be, but the initial buzz is he plays 2b...

Or RF. As much as Verdugo is a better fit for RF than CF, the option cannot be ignored. Although I think Pillar is the most likely option at this point, ahead of Puig...

..carried heavily by a single 3 for 6 game where he homered of Kyle Hart and Marcus Walden and doubled against Jose Peraza. Possibly not representative against actual MLB pitching...

As the pen stands today, what makes you think Gossett is destined for Worcester?
-
2024 is Alex Verdugo's option year. If the plan is to wait that long, it is already flawed...

Don't ruin one of my better metaphorical punchlines!!!

But it will meaningfully impact my decision to buy that Daniel Gossett jersey!!

Batting average is overrated. But OBP (.290) and K% (28%) are not. OPS+ (106) does tell us Renfroe is an above average hitter for his career, and his splits indicate he has not always been a platoon player that has an inordinate number of at-bats vs LHP. But I still hope the Sox bring in a CF or RF and push him into a platoon with Benintendi..

If we rank the pen options, Andriese is probably 5th or 6th arm, depending on whether or not the Sox import the Japanese pitcher. I would place Brice, Valdez, and Whitlock below him. My hope is both Brice and Valdez can be removed from the initial bullpen, but I am not sure how likely that is. Now if the Sox DFA Brice, would anyone sign him? I think if anyone claims him, he then becomes one of those pitchers who gets DFA'd every three days in hopes he can clear waivers and come back without taking up the roster spot. He might spend most of Spring Training packing and buying bus tickets...
-
Yes he will be slightly older. But there is a big difference in expectations from a player who missed an entire year because his arm had to be reassembled like a Tinker Toy as opposed to a healthy athlete who missed an entire year to go sit in the corner...

It is fun deciding which piece of excrement gets flushed...

Nomar Mazara would make Fenway look like T ball
notin replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Ah but there is an Atari 2600-like beauty in a baseball game where you know every ground ball that gets past an infielder can and probably will go for a home run... -
That's a mighty tall order. And it makes me think you have completely forgotten about the immortal Mike Wacha. Wacha might be immortal, but his elbow certainly is not...
-
Oh I would have 0 issues with Brice being DFA'd. But there is no real advantage to DFAing him just to clear a path for Mazza/Walden/Springs/Weber/Brewer. And if this team ever gets to the point where the biggest question mark on this team is the 8th man in the bullpen, hopefully we will all be a lot more satisfied...

But he is going to make Fenway look like T-Ball!! I certainly hope the OP was not referring to his defense with that comment... -
And the Rays. It's not like replacing Snell with Archer kept them atop the division...
-
We probably should be fair and point out that the reason for German's lower IP is in a very different class than that of the reduced totals for Kluber, Taillon, Montogomery, and Severino. Unless you think German is incorrigible and will be a repeat offender, which is certainly possible. Not like we know the guy...
-
.. which is why a DFA of Brice is unlikely. They'll try to keep the depth by demoting someone with options and then to clear a spot, probably DFA the pitcher they feel is most likely to clear waivers, like they did with Hall and Weber...
-
Valdez has options. And Springs isn’t needed...
-
The only thing is Walker’s favor over the others is age. But for a team already missing Sale and hoping to count on Eovaldi and Richards, Walker is not a good idea. Now Porcello might be a good idea. And as it looks now, can probably be had for next to nothing. Oh and had his best season in Boston...
-
Not sure why Bloom is looking to import a Japanese pitcher. I guess this Sawamura is a potential closer/reliever, as he has closed in Japan. His B-R page is incomplete...
