    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..

    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?

    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…

    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…

    These stories emerge every now and then and are probably exaggerated and inconsequential. It’s not like Henry didn’t know Dombrowski. Like when stories emerged about the rift between Dan Duquette and Jimy Williams, and supposedly reached the point where DD would trade or release prospects Williams liked (namely Adam Everett and David Eckstein). Did that really happen for that reason? If so, why didn’t DD simply fire Williams? He had the authority to do so…

    Soxprospects still expects Boston to add a reliever. If it’s only a one year deal, David Robertson feels like the most likely candidate. At his age, he’s not getting multiple years and he is well aware of this…

    I actually think it’s the opposite, primarily because a lot of personnel seem to get recycled from team to team. Like any industry. The decisions clearly vary. But I bet the process is the same…
  22. notin
    Aren’t most teams run similarly? I would suspect very few teams if any put these multimillion dollar investments in the hands of a single decision maker…

    Giving Bregman a landed cost of roughly $43 mill or more. And where did anyone say O’Neill was a bench/platoon guy? Considering you were the one who said the logic for extending a QO to O’Neill was “hard to argue with,” I’d say you’re doing an ok job at it…
  25. notin
    Well, the commitment to Rafaela in CF didn’t come until long after any decision on O’Neill. The Sox had all three and Abreu last season and everyone got their time. If O’Neill moved Rafaela’s bat to the bench a little more often, it’s not all that detrimental, especially with the improvements Duran made in CF…
