    It does mean he’s not playing 2b and they want his legs in the lineup, at least until Jett Williams is ready..
  2. notin
    So the Sox should fire Cora?
  3. notin
    The guy they have playing 2b defense now is a former Platinum Glove winner…

    Not surprising. Now if he lasts all year I might be surprised…

    Castellanos had the huge advantage of being available at minimum wage wuth Philly on the hook for the rest of his money. Because of this, someone might give him a shot. But he was part of a deep lineup lineup in a hitters’ park on a perennial contender and still his 88% in sweet spot only translated to a 18% in exit velocity. Given his complete lack of defensive ability, the only beneficial change of scenery Nick Castellanos might benefit from is to a Men’s Beer League Softball team. And, yes, his average exit velocity last year was lower than Yoshida’s..

    Monasterio lack’s Romy’s thump vs LHP, but his career .352 OBP against them will be an acceptable substitution…

    The swingman from St John’s?

    Sure Knight was aggressive, but having him round third and try to score on a groundball Buckner caught in this hypothetical scenario isn’t “aggressive” baserunning. It’s flat out stupid baserunning. I agree with anyone who says the Sox lost it when the Mets tied it. But Youre handing out some pretty unlikely scenarios…

    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…
  14. notin
    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…

    At least once after every meal…

    But Ray Knight would have stopped at third…

    And they probably prefer IKF be somewhat prepared when that happens, rather than just sitting on the bench for months morphing into I-KG…
  19. notin
    He gets a tomato and a duck? Will he be making duck ragu?
  20. notin
    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…

    Like Bello’s molars…

    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?
  24. notin
    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…
