    Who cares? Perez just needs to get loose, shake off some rust, and not get hurt. Why do people think he needs to shine in a spring training game? He could give up home runs to the first 8 hitters he faced and he would still make the team and collect his $6mill salary. He’s not pitching for anything except practice...

    Bandy is the greatest player in MLB history named Jett. Or one of them anyway. He’s on the list...

    A CONVERT!!!! Next up - moonslav!

    He might if the Sox ask. Or he could learn some Japanese. I could see him as a Ham Fighter...

    Can we sign the pitching machine and trot it out there every fifth day?
  6. notin
    Screw Myers. Sign the only two decent free agents left - Arodys Vizcaino and Yasiel Puig. Verdugo is out. Pillar is no replacement. And the fifth spot in the Sox batting order looks to be a battle between Mitch Moreland and Michael Chavis. Vizcaino gets hurt a lot, but when healthy he is flat out on. He’s no less risky than Eovaldi and a heckuva lot cheaper. And make Barnes an opener. He can’t pitch consecutive days anyway, which can really limit his appeal as a high leverage reliever. Two innings every fifth game might work out a lot better for him...

    Jim Mora? Is that you?

    Drew did little things that just went unappreciated. Even experienced MLB outfielders routinely practice charging groundball so they can field them with the proper foot forward and no stutter stepping, and in such a way they can come up throwing. And in games, we all see them routinely stutter step or field the ball awkwardly and take an additional step or two to throw. Drew just did it flawlessly so often. Like he was trying to teach them all how...

    Buchholz has an arm and a pulse. Do we have loftier standards than that right now?

    San Diego backed out because they did not want to give up young controllable arms...

    Not that I expect much from Perez, but spring training outings really do mean absolutely nothing for guys with guaranteed roster spots...

    Eddie Gaedel. Very short career. Lasted just one plate appearance...

    Houck? That might be ambitious considering he’s not even on the 40 man roster
  15. notin
    Exactly!

    And any player hitting a home run has to sprint around the bases. Any hitter taking longer than 12 seconds to circle the bases is immediately declared out...

    Are you saying Eovaldi can’t handle a 400 IP workload?

    And above all, no more breaking pitches. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line! So get the ball on a straight line! And faster! These curve balls take too long! Microseconds matter! Also if pitchers only throw fastballs, it also ends the sign stealing scandal...

    If Sale does indeed have a serious injury, this is a much bigger detriment than trading Betts...

    And now I hear that in order to speed up games, outfielders will be required to sprint to flyballs no matter where they are. Also, on any ball hit in the air, the fielder will be required to jump up and catch it rather than wait for it to come down...

    Then he won’t opt out. Martinez has a good enough history that any regression is just due to getting older. He didn’t annihilate baseballs in Arizona like a Division 1 college player facing Little League pitching because of his future manager...

    The one major online presence they do have i the 5-10,000,000 or so fantasy leagues on Yahoo and ESPN and other sites with maybe 10-12 participants each...

    I agree there’s nothing to see here. Not only is Castillo’s date pre-determined, but the main goals of spring training are to shake off the rust and to not get hurt. Some players view it as a tryout and work a little harder, hoping to impress, but the reality is there might be one or two roster or lineup spots actually in question. And for most players, a good or bad spring training decides nothing...

    But Draft Kings and Fanduel aren’t gambling. At least according to the State’s Attorney of Florida

    I think John Lennon said that. If you can’t believe John Lennon, who can you believe? But seriously - depth! The Sox haven’t even played a game yet and they’re down a starter!! When it comes to depth, Bloom needs to take some chances at this point....
