K:BB was the main talking point of poster JoeBreidey/JoeBrady and is a great evaluation tactic for hitters and pitchers. But in the minors, age and levels matter, too. But the bottom line is you don’t immediately write off a 25yo who failed to dazzle in 20 ABs just so you can fast track a 19yo in A Ball...

1) That approach is pretty standard. 2) The Sox did offer him $20 million and $25 million in the last two seasons. That’s gotta take some sting out of that hearing...
-
While Mookie never did, he certainly heard lots of other African American ballplayers say them...
-
Casas has all of 500 plate appearances in the minors over his career. So far all he’s done is face A ball pitchers. Dalbec is much, much, much more likely to make this team and contribute. These are not even wildly differently ranked prospects. Prior to the 2020 season, BA had Casas at 70 and Dalbec at 75...

Game Thread - 09/05 - Jays at Sox

The game threads are dying... -
Well, if the Sox and Mookie split the difference, we do know at $365 million, money was no longer an obstacle...
-
Really? You’d cut Dalbec after 18 at-bats? Sure, he’s hitting .111 now, but he’s also one 4 for 5 day away from respectability. And then fast track Casas? What happens if Casas starts out 2 for 18 in MLB?

Well, there is no doubt Bloom was Dumpster Diving. No GM ever has had Mike Kickham or Robert Stock as part of Plan A. Or B. Munoz is a good player, and possibly a capable starter. But he might be crazy, and not as good as he thinks he is. Remember, we only have him because he quit on the Cardinals and stormed out of camp over playing time, which is a tad extreme reaction from a player with a career .723 OPS...

Game Thread - 09/04 - Jays (Roark) at Sox (Godley)

Watch more Little League... -
And no one knows why they put Downs in AAA. Unless they meant Jerry Downs. Was it Jerry or Jeter? Or Jerry Jeter?
-
Next AApril through AAugust, Mr. Doesn’t Read Thread Titles...

Downs has 12 games in AA. Even August might be a bit too early...

No idea!!!

Hey, I told you earlier, he is a frontrunner for 2B in 2021... -
Since no one likes Benintendi any more, maybe he could be dealt for a 2b? Benintendi to Pittsburgh for Adam Frazier?
-
Pitching will certainly take precedent. But that doesn’t mean the Sox can’t spend some cash anywhere else. I don’t think 2021 will be the debut of Hudson Potts or of Jeter Downs...
-
Actually Dalbec just turned 25 in June. But he is at an age where he goes from prospect to suspect rather rapidly. Casas is 20 and has never played above A ball. He’s not an option for 2021. But he is better than Chavis. Oldtimer, you’re going to seize your engine changing gears that fast. Let’s let Dalbec have a chance larger than 15 at bats before we write him off. You know, like the Moncada example I cited. And let’s let Casas play AA ball and maybe even AAA ball before we give him 15 at-bats and decide to look elsewhere, too...

I’ll set the over/under for number of pitches it takes the Blue Jays to score 5 runs at: Mazza - 22 Hall - 30

So I was listening to The Happy Hour on MLB Network radio, and they were talking about this season's freeagent class. They mentioned that a lot of options previously thought to be no braimers were potentialyl not going to be picked up this off-season. Most of them, like Danny Murphy ($12mill/$6mill buyout), Brett Gardiner ($10mill) and Edwin Encarnacion ($12mill) did not intrigue me much. But they did mention Kolten Wong ($12.5mill / $1mill buyout). If Wong is available, he actually might be a nice fit for the Sox at 2B/leadoff hitter...
-
He was also a BA#1 overall prospect. He’s a good player, but I think some expected a better one with his pedigree. But then he’s also still only 26...

Well, it has been a long time. Wedge was the player they didn’t protect?
-
They chose to protect Wedge over Burks in the expansion draft in 1992. The Rockies selected Burks...
-
But we needed Eric Wedge!!!

Does anyone really expect an old kajillionaire to suddenly not change his habits of changing? Unless the pandemic lingers and significantly alters pro sports industries (and Henry is secretly preparing to sell), then Red Sox fans concerned with payroll balance, taxes, and roster-crippling contracts shouldn't be surprised when Boston goes all out spending huge on a big-name free agent in the next two or three years. Regrettably, it won't be on Betts, whose personality and physical skills have been nothing but great his entire career. But for many reasons previously posted, including the turnstiles and cost of living increases, some other lucky "superstar" will inevitably sign with the Sox for what many will view as ghastly amounts -- in both dollars and years. I expect him to suddenly change his spending habits. In fact, I expect him to do so multiple times. That's what he has been doing all along, which I summed up in the remainder of my post...

No. That was KOJI-RIFFIC!!
