Refsnyder played 163 innings in RF last year; Romy played 11. It’s painfully obvious who Cora prefers. Im still holding out that another RHH OF with actual defensive skills enters the picture, but I expect no action on that front until the 60 day IL opens up… -
Hoping DH platoon. Probably RF platoon, at least as it stands now. Plus he can back up 1b in a pinch…
-
So if they just get better, but do it by being cheap = fail? Ive repeatedly stated free agent spending is largely just PR. And you’ve challenged that, but this last post isn’t convincing me otherwise…

I have liked O’Neill, even as a Cardinal. And losing his 1.180 OPS vs LHP will be tough. But along the same lines, losing his .693 OPS vs RHP should soften that blow a little bit. The Sox have a good OF. I do think/hope adding a RHH RF would be helpful, but unfortunately isn’t likely before ST when players can be moved to the 60 day IL. Unless the Sox make a trade, which is almost impossible to predict…

Do people want the Sox to just spend more money? Or try to put together a better team? If the Sox lost out on Soto (which they did) and chose to replace their first baseman with Paul Goldschmidt and his Dominic Smith-sequence OPS+ of 98, instead of spending a portion of their Soto money on Polar Bear Pete, what would we call them? Would we predict another great year for Goldschmidt like he had back in 2022? Or more of the same league-average and rapidly plummeting production he’s had for the past two years?
-
I’m not sure losing O’Neill is worse than downgrading from Soto to Bellinger. The Sox lost 2.4 bWAR with O’Neill but the Yankees are trying to replace a 7.9 bWAR player with a 2.2 bWAR player in Bellinger. That drop off should be so casually equated to just losing O’Neill…

You’re incorrect. It’s 12-15% exactly…

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part I

That buys a lot of Molson… -
I think there’s a decent chance Password makes his debut this year. Teams do not as players to the 40 man roster without recognizing this very distant possibility. They did call up Heineman last year solely because he was the only player left. I mean, if the Sox get 3 short term injuries to position players, Jhostnyxon has to get the call..
-
Umps…
-
Eaton could be the RHH platoon partner with Abreu. Most likely, however, he spends the whole year in Worcester, like this year’s Narciso Crook. (Could The Password be the RHH RF? Depends on what they think of his ceiling, I suppose.)
-
You’re pretty casual with someone else’s money. I suspect you have a vested interest in The Sole Proprietor…
-
The Sox should be moving 3 pitchers (Sandoval, Perales, and Murphy). I still think they add Fulmer then, since they aren’t paying him all that money to hang out in Worcester, gorging himself at The Sole Proprietor. They might reserve a spot for K Campbell and see if he wins a job in ST. That still leaves one spot. At some point, they will need to add some position depth to the 40 man. As of today, they have 16 position players on it. With 13 position players expected on the opening day roster, their only accessible position depth players are Sogard, Jhostnyxon, and Blake Sabol. And Sabol’s usefulness is in question…
-
Can he hit LHP?
-
And witchcraft…
-
One thing in the Sox favor is the apparent lack of other teams clamoring for his services…
-
That projection has one AL Central team over .500 and four AL East teams making the postseason…
-
Only because Hendriks actually has the job and Jansen cannot lose what he doesn’t possess…
-
If Tom Henke was on the 1986 Red Sox, do they win the World Series?
-
I strongly question any math that has this year’s AL East as the first division in MLB history where every team finishes over .500…

And after that first day, Rome’s Steamer projections had them a distant fourth, with a massive gap between them and the Ottomans… -
Clearly Breslow’s plan was to acquire ALL OF THE LHP out there and therefore never have to face any…
-
Don’t sleep on Nate Eaton!! Seriously, don’t. He’s an outfielder, not a mattress. I don’t want to need to remind you again…
-
Clearly having a hitter with a 1.180 OPS didn’t work. So why try it again?
-
Robertson has quietly been hanging in there with Tanner Scott when it comes to recent effectiveness. He does turn 40 soon, however. The clock is ticking…
