    I think he’s a pen arm, too. But then I think that of most pitching prospects…

    Last year, Trout was Trevor Story with more walks. And given he is owed $148mill from 2027 thru 2030, I’m sure the Angels would love to move him, even for Yoshida. But does Trout want to move from the only team he’s ever played for? As a 10-5 player, any trade requires his approval…

    Only because he is right-handed and Cora has a preference for alternating bats. The World Series champion Dodgers primarily used Teoscar Hernandez (25 HRs .738 OPS) as their cleanup hitter last year. Is that any better than Story (25 HRs .741 OPS)?

    Volume also needs to be a concern. I’m not ready to see Mullens or Holobetz starting games in July.

    How many of those arms are more likely to see bullpen duty? Likely Uberstine (and in his case, the Worcester pen).. Any others? It’s possible since only 6 spots in the pen are locked up, assuming they keep Watson. So with 1 injury, they might be down to 7 starters if they trade Sandoval. They might want to know more depth than that before starting the season. Maybe 8 if you count Bennett. Not sure how he fits into anything right now…

    I think the Sox might want to make sure they have 5 good starters healthy and ready to go when the season starts first. They’ve dealt away a significant amount of starter depth already…

    5.4 of those September RPG were just by Derek Lowe…

    And they probably prefer IKF be somewhat prepared when that happens, rather than just sitting on the bench for months morphing into I-KG…

    He gets a tomato and a duck? Will he be making duck ragu?

    And more important - Cora likes to have those dreaded bench players see action every so often so they’re somewhat ready if/when they’re actually needed. Other than catchers, I’m not sure how much rest anyone else really needs. Especially in the early part of the season…

    Don’t forget their adorable savagery. Those giant ones in South America will rip your face off and wear it as a mask, like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs..

    Make up your mind about what you don’t like about Banda! It doesn’t matter anyway, as he was traded to the Twins so now he won’t be available until August. Back to Danny Coulombe?

    But he does win an iguana-flavored otter pop. Or an otter-flavored iguana pop. His choice…

    “The Gray Replacement” was one of the better Alex Cross novels…

    How advanced is this league wuth a specialized pitching coach? When I coached my daughter’s softball teams, coaching was just me and a bunch of off duty cops that fortunately did not specialize in anything more complicated than “first base” and “third base”. Also, I’m nowhere near done with frozen iguana jokes…

    That’s reminiscent of the former metric WAFL (Wins Above Felipe Lopez), which was calculated by taking a player’s WAR and subtracting the latest WAR numbers of Senior Lopez. I believe Lopez was only chosen because his initials made for a funnier acronym,,,,

    Last year they had 7 starters with double digit stolen bases, some with comparable OBPs to Hamilton. He won’t get on a lot, but he will run when he does.

    Sox fans that recall Bill Buckner should know this…

    I will wager any amount you like Priester only came up tangentially and the decision to acquire Harrison was based on metrics, footage and scouting reports. For all we know, Harrison might not have even been their first ask, and was more of an acceptable alternate…

    They’re only doing it to get his legs into the lineup…

    I will take it a step further - they like rules for MVP eligibility and voting explicitly state pitchers are eligible…
