    Any chance Arizona hires you to be CBO in the next 3 months?

    Torres isnt horrible, but Marte might be the best second baseman in MLB. Bellinger is unlikely to leave the Bronx, especially if they can retain Grisham (Trent, not John), which the Yankees really should do. Alonso is an obvious monster at Fenway. His future is unclear, since it odds hard to see the Mets letting him walk. But at some point, they will stop spending. Just not sure he is where.

    BTV accepts Duran, Clarke and Hamilton for Marte. I doubt Hamilton’s inclusion is a dealbreaker. The Sox have plenty of equally valued replacements in their farm to plug in instead. Would AZ accept this? They are loaded with young outfielders, but only Carroll doesn’t suck. No one is turning down Duran because they already have Jake McCarthy…

    Internally, Mikey Romero. Or bring on someone like Luis Rengifo. Or both, which happens if they sign Rengifo…

    I will ask Mike Hazen. Marte is a tremendous talent but appears to have started wearing out his welcome in Arizona…

    If the Sox cannot retain Bregman, maybe they should move on Ketel Marte and solidify 2b for the first time since Pedroia. Mayer, if healthy, can resume playing 3b…

    I’ve seen Keller pitch multiple times this year, including live games at Wrigley. Keller was one of those guys I recommended Boston acquire multiple times, knowingly giving the rather mediocre Keller more attention than he ever really deserved. Always loved his fastball velocity. But when Boston finally did get him, it just didn’t work out. So his transformation in Chicago has been remarkable…

    Definitely not one of his better moves. If you’re a pitcher, it would seem that nothing predicates a great season for you more than being traded away by Craig Breslow…

    Because it’s one game, and one started by a rookie making his second start. I wouldn’t condemn the rotation based on one bad full turn, let alone one bad individual start…

    Refsnyder is not a good runner. His sprint speed is on the 30th percentile. The only Sox players slower are Bregman, Yoshida, Lowe, Narvaez and Casas. Probably Sánchez, too, but there is no data on him…

    I’d put the chances that the Sox offer Lowe arbitration in the 0-10% range. I think he gets non-tendered and reaches free agency. Now, the Sox can still sign him at that point, but can do so for less than $10-12mill. And Lowe isnt going to have much of any appeal to the big spending teams like the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, so the bigger offers are not as likely to roll in. Even if Alonso walks, the Mets are NOT going to sell their fanbase on Nate Lowe as an acceptable replacement. Goldschmidt is likely done in the Bronx (and possibly all of MLB) after this year. But why bother with Lowe when you have Cody Bellinger? Bringing back Grisham and keeping Cody at 1b makes much, much more sense…
  12. notin
    Lowe is still in his arbitration years. He makes $10.3mill this year and is likely looking at $12-13mill next season, with only one year to go before free agency. With Casas coming back and Campbell still in tow, Lowe is a potential non-tender candidate. I like him better than Casas, but Casas will be A LOT cheaper. Like $10-12 mill cheaper…

    Worst hitter vs LHP or not, Lowe is a Gold Glove caliber 1b. The downside to platooning is that one of the players is a worse defender. Sometimes it might be ok to let the inferior batter hit against the same side pitcher if he can defend his position…

    Recall Password (Ghost) and put him in RF. Other than Eaton, he’s the only defensive option. And Jhostnyxon, unlike Eaton, at least has offensive potential. If not actual offense…
  15. notin
    Batting order aside, the Sox defensive alignment for the rest of the season should be: C - Narvaez and Wong. Sánchez is for emergencies only. 1b - Lowe 2b - Hamilton vs RHP; Romy vs LHP 3b - Bregman SS - Story LF - Duran CF - Rafaela RF - Password aka Ghost DH Yoshida vs RHP; Refsnyder vs LHP.. Eaton becomes Cora’s supersub as he as has played OF, 2b and 3b…

    I don’t think they can afford to get rid of him before then…
  17. notin
    I think he would have re-signed, but not given Boston any preference. It was all about money and years. But hey, that’s his prerogative…
  18. notin
    He blocked me because I talked down to a Yankee troll…

    Will Schwarber really get less money?

    When Anthony and Abreu return?

    Did you love the recently released Darren Baker getting dragged to safety by JT Snow in the 2002 World Series?

    This is true. WAR gets inflated by multipostional usage. But remember WAR is a measurement of achievements, not ability. While Zobrist was not among the game’s elite talents ever, was his ability to defend more positions helpful in increasing the Rays’ win totals?

    Only the Navajos in Arizona observe Daylight Savings Time. The rest of the state spends their daylight all willy-nilly and carefree…

    Was it? I responded to a seemingly blanket statement about traded Braves prospects. I wouldn’t expect the Braves to give up anything good while acquiring fungible salary dumps like Jorge Soler and Adam Duvall. If you only meant that brief period, I will tell Mr. Langeliers to back off…

    They might not Sox have promoted too many others to MLB to still overpopulate any Top 50 list…
