    I don’t put much faith in ST stats, but benching Rafaela (1.358 OPS) to play Campbell (0 for 9 with 7 Ks) doesn’t seem right. And adding Anthony and Mayer into the lineup is prioritizing getting an additional draft pick over winning games. If Yoshida starts the year on the IL and Devers is at DH, the Sox are NOT going to DFA three players to crowd up the 40 man roster with prospects. More likely, if Devers is DH and Yoshida is on the IL (which does make him less tradable), then you get GRISSOM at 2b. Forgotten man, but the Sox (and Braves) saw something in him and aren’t basing their judgments off him on one bad year. Bregman at 3b. Done. OF will be the same one that ended the season last year, assuming Abreu gets ready on time. If not, maybe Anthony has a shot. But also maybe it won’t be long enough to give him a shot…

    Wilson is the only one with a chance to see Boston without the season already being derailed by far too many numerous pitching injuries…

    Or demote him. He does have options. But most likely the Sox will need him. If you trade Yoshida and Anthony, and either Devers or Casas goes down, who steps up? Romy? Refsnyder to full time DH?

    If they demand Anthony or Mayer if you include Yoshida, then do not include Yoshida…

    I think the Sox have the potential for a really good bullpen with Slaten, Whitlock, Guerrero and Fitts…

    It’s going to take a lot of injuries to have him pitch meaningful innings anyway…
  7. notin
    Unless you mean rotating on and off the Injured List…

    It’s Scutaro. 5Gold figured it out…

    Greg Maddux as a Padre or Dodger…

    Anthony? Why not throw in Duran as well? Every trade is NOT an opportunity to unload a deal you don’t like. Why drive up the price on the last 2 years of a pitcher who hasn’t pitched since 2023 just so the first Sox injury can get Romy into the starting lineup? BTV suggests Abreu and Hamilton is fair. I think they overvalue Hamilton. Maybe Abreu, but only slightly. Abreu and Arias for Alcantara? It seems reasonable. Miami might prefer a bigger name. But 5 years of a 3+ year Gold Glove RF plus a top 100 prospect for two years of Alcantara? Fair or not? And would it interest Miami, who might prefer an unfair deal?

    My baseball nut daughter does the college one to me. Also she likes to see how many of the ten headshots randomly chosen each day on baseball-reference.com I can guess. (Exact opposite of this game.). Or read off all the teams a guy played for and make me guess the player…

    You’d think that giant red question mark face would be immediately recognizable…

    No. When I Google “Red Sox Alcantara”, the top ten matches are about Marvin. Theres one article about a Red Sox/Mets trade war, but it’s a Fansided article, which means it has less journalistic relevance than the forums on Baseballtradevalues.com…

    Chapman and Wilson…

    I’ve been assuming all along we’d get Devers at 3b, Bregman at 2b, and Yoshida at DH. But now I’m pivoting towards thinking it will be Bregman at 3b, Grissom at 2b, and Devers at DH…

    Don’t forget Mr. March - Jeff Bailey!

    Hamilton is limited in the field, but valuable as a pinch runner, which is more useful now until they drop the gimmicky and ridiculous ghost runner rule…

    I agree Devers was just being human. But ultimately, plan shared or not, the job of each ideal to do what the manager says. And I think they will when Cora actually tells them. Of course at this point, this is just media frenzy. Devers, Casas and Bregman better not be caught sharing a bucket of chicken over a few cold ones. Hell will definitely break loose if that happens…
  19. notin
    I think his translator was covering himself over all tha Devers’ money he lost betting on baseball games. Start a controversy, he thought. Draw attention away…

    I could see him there temporarily. From what I understand, he plays the position passably. But he might not be the best option if the need is long term…
  21. notin
    But they are allowed to be human and be disappointed or unhappy at the prospect of it. Lost in all this is Bregman might not only be the best defensive 3rd baseman oil camp, he might also be the best defensive second baseman. At least they have potential improvement there, although it might mean finding a new position for Campbell for a bit when they decide to use him…

    I’m not sure how Jordan even gets into the argument. His chances of playing third base for the Red Sox this season are only marginally better than mine. He’s not third on the depth chart..
  24. notin
    He will. I didn’t renew my contract for him on my fantasy team. I expect him to EXPLODE now…
  25. notin
    Some were saying that all along…
