    I imagine it will be a couple weeks of having 3 starters on the IL until we can FINALLY get that fourth one on it, too…

    If the job of a closer is to prevent hits by walking people, Foley is as real as it gets…
  3. notin
    Exactly. The stats were irrelevant and they liked other criteria…

    But you’ve given up on the bladder?

    Further evidence of the irrelevance of spring training stats

    Bryce Miller is the Seattle pitch id be least interested in. I prefer using Teel to get Crochet…
  7. notin
    He could also be 0-7 with a 3.50 ERA. Is W-L record the criteria again?
  8. notin
    Ok but he knows he’s in the rotation. Is he working on any new pitches? He also might just be out there trying not to join everyone else on the IL. Until the Sox get concerned, I’m not going to be. Plenty of pitchers in his position have had awful springs followed by good seasons…

    So they only bought out one year of free agency and avoided all arbitration…

    That the Sox dont seem concerned does ease my mind

    May 15th…

    And we traded Verdugo to get some pitchers…
  13. notin
    It’s not like he was trying out for anything…

    Pitchers covering first isnt really range; it’s being aware. A pitcher has a much shorter run than a hitter - by a good ten yards. A catcher with a good headlock is a nice have…

    Absolutely. Kike did NOT have a weak arm. But he also less accuracy than my NCAA bracket. And he may have been the worse Red Sox shortstop since Julio Lugo. Story won’t win a Gold Glove, but if healthy he should be ok. With the exception of catcher and pitcher, I would say range supersedes arm strength at every defensive position…

    Those other teams also had 4-5 months to offer Moore and Ottavino minor league deals, and still didn’t. Plus does either one have an opt out? If so, best to keep pitching until that date…
  17. notin
    Fulmer has no opt out. So no urgency to add him to the 40 man. He’ll be back at some point…

    What does that trade do for the Angels other than make them older and more expensive? I don’t get the logic that Bloom should have been fired for signing Yoshida, but Anaheim should clearly trade one of their best young players for him…

    Swanson by far. Dansby’s arm is so weak he can’t even throw a tantrum….
  20. notin
    Ah Monterrey. I worked there for a while. Basically a city in the desert surrounded by mountains…

    To keep pitching?

    Mayer at 2b is an admission he’s a stopgap. Mayer at SS and Story at 2b is the superior defensive alignment. Of course they might not want to revisit the Devers Drama in pushing a vet out of position to accommodate a newcomer. But maybe it encourages Story to opt out after the season…

    Dansby Swanson won consecutive Gold Gloves despite having one of the weakest - if not the absolute weakest - arm of any MLB shortstop…

    Robertson is over 40 years old and in his long career, has only pitched in two World Series, winning only one. And even back then in 2009, he was watching some other random guy get saves. It wouldn’t surprise me if Robertson wanted the opportunity to close for a legitimate title contender. At this point, he can either retire as a very wealthy man or, more likely, wait for injuries to open up his dream job. Think Boston fits these requirements? Assuming I’m right, of course. Boston does have one huge advantage should they approach Robertson - he and his family live in Barrington, Rhode Island…

    And name that catcher!
