    I don’t think shattered confidence is an issue for most players. You get this close to MLB without having an overabundance of confidence and still have enough leftover to sell on eBay at a tidy profit…

    Is that the guy Soxprospects is calling Acquisition?

    There’s been much more buzz about Campbell in LF all off-season. The Sox dont have a 2b right now and Campbell still rarely gets mentioned…

    You probably like Bello more than I do, but with some 12-14 SPs on the 40 man, that does make it the position to move someone from. And a young controllable arm like Bello, who is honestly maybe the fifth best SP on the Sox right now, and could be passed by Tolle soon, is as good a candidate as any to move,…

    Does he get how jokes trade?

    Not to mention, positions changeup. As recently as 12 months ago, who was penciling Mayer for 3b and Campbell for LF?

    I don’t think you get how trades work…

    Really? Seems to me thats how teams would shoot themselves in the foot, among other places. Fortunately MLB teams clearly don’t do that, which is why we see them do things like spend a first round pick on SS Mikey Romero one year after spending a first round pick on his former teammate SS Marcelo Mayer…

    I have noticed fans like clean lineups. Know who plays here. Who pitches. Who’s the DH. Platooning is acceptable, as long as the lineup is definitive. Yoshida is far from a problem on this roster. If he makes a run at the starting DH, not sure why that’s bad. If he gets buried on the bench or in Worcester until needed, not sure why that’s bad either. Not sure if he likes those options, but it’s his job to make them look questionable, not Cora’s job to hand him a role based on his salary…

    Slight hyperbole. Yoshida can hit, but right now he probably isn’t the best option to start. He has options. He can be benched. If Duran or Abreu are not traded, that doesn’t mean he has to go. Especially since unloading him probably won’t create much budget wiggle room…

    What mattered was Devers failed to live up to his part. He spent the last 3 years as the worst - not among the worst, the worst - defensive third basemen in MLB. Every player whose metrics were in his neighborhood was shifted off to another position. It’s not Bloom’s or Breslow’s job to make Devers happy; they gave him over 300 million reasons already. Promise or not, his defense was not helping, and was a hindrance. Regardless, the “promise” was a dead issue anyway, because Devers had been moved off third a few months earlier anyway. The problem was he refused to help out his team when a teammate went down with a season-ending injury. Not sure why any “promise” that was already a dead issue is supposed to supersede that level of selfishness…

    He was a sad panda…

    So who is balking at Bello for Paredes straight up?
  14. notin
    That’s not a good excuse to accept a weak defender, especially in a league that has a DH…

    Same. I’d have done it 3 years ago…

    I’m not, but my auto correct is…

    Now you’re just rubbing it in …

    Stop!!! Please stop!! You’re making me miss Tristan even more!!

    Fangraphs Roster Resource, or ss I call them the Very Unofficial Roster Resource, lists him as a platoon corner OF. Not me. But with the return of Carlos Correa taking over 3b, if the Astros keep Altuve at 2b, it does get tough to find a spot for him. Do you bench Christian Walker? Yordan Alvarez? I could see him getting traded…

    Mayer likely already has a role; the only question is where. Campbell is probably in the picture, but shouldn’t be handed anything in January..

    Another potential pivot for the Sox might be Lenyn Sosa. His 22HRs for the White Sox would have been third on the Red Sox. The White Sox seem to have spent the offseason quietly rebuilding their infield, which might relegate Sosa to the bench… https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/lenyn-sosa-672820?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

    Sure. Last year the difference was 5 wins. But we only had our 21 year old for 71 games…

    The big dogs do not skimp on pitching either, except the Mets, which is why they suck (247-249 the last 3 seasons). The Dodgers have shelled out piles of cash for Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow, Tanner Scott, etc. The Yankees did similar with Cole and Rodon. Theres no magic formula…

    Maybe if Houston sign Christian Vazquez, they can undo that trade…
