    I am willing to bet the Sox do not think of Yoshida as “an annoyance.” Just some fans…

    How is that not “selling low”? If you sell when prices deflate or when the market bottoms out, you’re selling low…

    Depth has a way of sorting itself out. No need to do anything…

    Both will start for the Sox this year. And why does either need to be “dealt with?” Somewhere along the line, the sports media started pushing this idea that “depth” was a bad thing, often equating it to a controversy. Probably around the same time they coined the phrase “team chemistry” and droned on and on about its importance. It’s not too late to deal Casas, the same as Yoshida. We’ve all seen trades happen deep into March. One year, Craig Kimbrel was dealt right before opening day…

    He was SS at LSU. Thats something. Only 9 career games at 2b. All with Houston…

    Removing any of Devers, Casas or Bregman from the Sox lineup makes it look pretty weak…
  7. notin
    I think we are very likely to start the year with the unpopular lineup with Bregman at 2b. But I doubt we finish the year that way. Between injuries, trades, the rise of certain prospects, and random Cora position movements, things will look different. Possibly very different…

    Alonso would be a terrible solution at 2b…
  9. notin
    Playing Bregman at 2b does seem stupid in a Jim Hendry kind of way. And it does seem like blowing a chance to upgrade the infield defense. But… It’s also important to remember the Champion of Moving Bregman to 2b is Cora, who knows Bregman personally, and is well aware of Bregman’s strengths and limitations. You know, unlike me…

    1b - Casas 2b - Bregman 3b - Devers DH - Yoshida At least until the injuries kick in…
  11. notin
    I was saying all along they’d sign him. Granted the AAV shocked me. Now hopefully he doesn’t play 2b…

    I can understand that. Frankly with Giolito, Buehler and Crochet and their 4 combined torn ligaments, I’m not so sure 6 starters is even an option. Will all six ever be healthy simultaneously?
  13. notin
    No idea about his 2022, but his 2023 was going well with Chicago - 3.79 ERA, 117 ERA+, 2.9 bWAR, and 131 K in 121 IP. He fell apart through two team changes. There were stories about divorce, and of course he wound up getting injured pretty quickly in ST last year. It is possible some damage was already done. I’m not worried too much if he’s actually healthy. Of course the same applies to Buehler…

    An American car? He’s really left his homeland behind!

    Did he clean out O’Neill’s locker?
  16. notin
    Exactly. Vegas projections are influenced by non-baseball factors, such as the volume of bets placed…

    Bigger? Like 5’7”?

    I’m calling it now. 162 wins!! … minus the games in which they finish second. But they will NEVER finish worse than second in any game! Book it!
  19. notin
    And hoping for full seasons (or at least larger ones) from Casas, Story and Grissom…

    Actually what you said - which I believe to be absolutely true and well-stated - is a fancy way of stating “they want to save money.” Yes they want to win cheaply, but recent history has shown they will sacrifice winning before they sacrifice cheaply…

    Abreu makes sense. He isn’t going to replace Tucker in that lineup, but not many can. A 3 WAR Gold Glove right fielder is a definite upgrade over the Jake Meyers/Chas McCormack/Ben Gamel types that appear destined to start for Houston…
  22. notin
    Dead pull hitter, too. 72 career home runs, all of them to left field…
  23. notin
    Why is Crawford a giveaway? Or Abreu? You think 4 years of a 2.0 bWAR SP plus 5 years of a 3.1 bWAR right fielder is worth 3 years of a 2.7 bWAR third baseman? And I looked on BTV Abreu - $35.3 mill Crawford - $29.7mill Paredes - $29.5mill It seems as though at least one source thinks Crawford for Paredes is even…

    “It’s not a question of available resources. We operate using an internal valuation for each player and then follow up accordingly. Using this methodology we feel gives our team the best chance at success.” Whatcha think, on a scale of 1 - 10?

    You need to stitch that on a pillow and sell it on Etsy…
