    JBJ always has a .315 OPS in mid-April. But sometime in the June/July timeframe, he will briefly morph Mickey Mantle. Quit acting like you haven’t seen this show before...

    I think those are all career highs

    Actually the much-needed bonus pool money and a 22yo outfielder who at the very least has defensive skills that should translate isn’t a bad return at all...

    My aunt’s gout is the Yankee’s fault!!

    I say let him start and bench Lin. A little baptism by fire never hurt anyone. Ok maybe anyone who was baptized by fire got hurt. But that’s not the point...

    Marco Hernandez. Now THERE is a guy who might want to consider retiring...

    Here’s what I don’t get. Cora said about Chavis at 2b “he still has some work to do there,” implying Chavis was not called up to fill the 2bboid. So how is he going to get that work if he isn’t playing there? Why not call someone else up (Travis? Lovullo? Tobias? Sturgeon?) and let Chavis do whatever is required at 2b instead of sitting on the Boston bench waiting for pinch hitting opportunities?

    The Sox certainly don’t have as many injuries as the Yankees, but all of ours play the same position...

    Me either. I looked him up

    His OPS for the season is .871 His OPS when batting 2nd is .583 His OPS when batting 4th is .885 His OPS when batting 5th is .944 Worth pointing out he has only 12 PA batting 2nd and only 13 batting 4th...

    Bleich has only recorded one out in his MLB career, coming via strikeout. This means he currently has a perfect 27.00 K/9...

    But it wasn’t really a blowout game until after Ramirez pitched...

    I would suspect a primary reason for the light loads in Spring Training was heavily influenced by the extra activity in the postseason. Extra IP in October are likely a big factor in why so few teams repeat any more...

    Well, we have 5 starting pitchers all performing below their normal levels and some at career-worst levels. This means one of two things 1) Massive level of coincidence. 2) Something was done differently.

    Agreed. A moratorium on all Fire Sale talk until May 31. Agreed? (Open to new suggestions of a reasonable date.)

    Although they are apparently bringing Walden back up. Not sure what Dombrowski saw in Ramirez that 3IP just completely vanquished...

    But you don’t need to send anyone down to activate Lin. Moving Pedroia to the IL creates the necessary opportunity...

    Well 12 walks in 11IP for one of the best control starting pitchers in the AL, for one...

    It’s a bit premature, but so far: Porcello - no QO? Yes. Hernandez as his replacement. I agree with this halfway. I have my doubts about him (or any rookie) suddenly trying to pitch 180 IP at the major league level. But I could see him and Shawaryn combining for the rotation spot. Johnson? I’m barely behind the decision to keep him this year.

    I’ve always said spring training games serve two purposes. 1) Get loose and get ready. 2) Not get injured. They’re like the stretching a runner does before a marathon. Certainly no one monitors the stretching a runner does to determine if he can win, but it gets him ready and helps avoid injury. The Sox accomplished to second part, but not so much on the first...

    That spring training games are meaningless was in response to people saying the Sox need to “turn it on and start winning”. There is a big difference between “meaningless” and “useless” or “pointless”...

    And Keuchel? Like I said, two open spots...
  24. notin
    He’s on a minor league deal. His MLB minimum wage can’t be that prohibitive, can it? He has a better track record than a few pitchers the Sox are keeping and further depleted their depth. Not sure what Josh Taylor and Brian Johnson bring to the table that Erasmo Ramirez doesn’t....

    But sometimes pitching against those guys with high uni numbers, you face hitters with worse strike zone judgment...
