    It doesn’t make them the ‘27 Yankees. It makes them the Less Successful Milwaukee Brewers, who didnt make the list at all…

    Thaiss is a 30 year old fringey Major Leaguer. As trade bait, the Sox might deal him for another 30 year old fringey major leaguer…

    Thaiss was so popular this offseason thr best offer he received was a minor league deal with an upward mobility clause. The Sox might add him over Wong for some depth, but I’m not sure why any team that was completely uninterested in Thaiss from November until January 31 might now suddenly be interested him, unless that team has seen a backup catcher go down. Has there been any such injury?

    Arguing the offensive merits of Wong vs Thaiss for back up catcher is like arguing over which member of the three stooges you’d have the most confidence in as your heart surgeon…

    The Mariners win one division level playoff series in 20 plus years and suddenly they’re the class of the American League?

    It was someone else’s job to make the team over him. I blame Sam Bowen and Garry Hancock for not being better than a 40 year old man…

    Well, when you play for 23 years you’re probably not the same hitter in year 22 that you were in year 2. And that sentence doesn’t need the word “probably”…

    Bumped down for reasons related to his involvement with the Kardashians. Also for Wonka…

    I just cannot figure out how this guy is successful throwing changeup after changeup after changeup after changeup. I mean, is it really a changeup if you never throw a fastball to change it up from? Doug Jones got like 300 career saves doing the same thing. And it confused me back then…

    And even then, you’re using lifetime numbers. Safe bet Yaz hit LHP a bit worse those last 7 or 8 years of post-greatness…

    His .513 OPS in CF disagrees with you..
  16. notin
    Unless the line of thought was “we haven’t had a decent 2b since Pedroia, and not even ‘most recent Pedroia’, so if this guy can hit and find 2b on the diamond, that puts him ahead of Vaughn Grissom at the top of the depth chart”…

    Campbell’s OPS as a LF is 2.100! Why are the Sox wasting time with Roman Anthony out there?!?

    227 PA at 2b 29 PA as OF

    The reason he has been benched is very likely simply because he isn’t the best first baseman on a Venezuelan All Star team. And that’s ok with me…
  20. notin
    Or on the “maybe he’s like Bogaerts and Devers in that he has a spot where he is comfortable and likes to play and when that all happens he has been known to crush baseballs wuth authority.” Whether anyone likes the reason or not, it has to be considered as a possibly for issuing that statement. No one said every statement has to be a pearl of wisdom…

    A 6 game stretch on a National All Star team. Think the Cubs are concerned that Pete Crow-Armstrong got benched?
  22. notin
    Several possible reasons. 1. Optimism. They believe in his athleticism and think he will be good eventually. 2. Experience. 2b is where he spent the bulk of his college and minor league career as well. Doubtful Georgia Tech was so stocked with talent in the corner INF and OF slots that they couldn’t move him elsewhere.. 3. Open options. While unlikely, some folks might keep that “you never know” mindset just in case, at least with regards to public statements they prefer not to backtrack on.

    If you’re talking about great hitting, does handedness matter? Truly great hitters are rarely shut down by like-sided pitching…

    Wacha lead that 2022 pitching staff in bWAR. Hill was certainly worth the money the Sox paid him. Eovaldi was as injury-prone as they get before he came to Boston. He certainly had one outstanding season in 2021. Sometimes signing injured or injury-prone pitchers doesn’t work out. That is true. But then, the same thing can be said about healthy pitchers. The difference with these contracts is the level of commitment. How many Liam Hendriks and Wade Millers does it take to equate to one David Price?

    Maybe once they get revenue sharing and a mandatory drug testing program in place…
