  1. And witchcraft…
  2. One thing in the Sox favor is the apparent lack of other teams clamoring for his services…
  3. That projection has one AL Central team over .500 and four AL East teams making the postseason…
  4. Only because Hendriks actually has the job and Jansen cannot lose what he doesn’t possess…
  5. If Tom Henke was on the 1986 Red Sox, do they win the World Series?
  6. 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…
  7. And after that first day, Rome’s Steamer projections had them a distant fourth, with a massive gap between them and the Ottomans…
  8. Clearly Breslow’s plan was to acquire ALL OF THE LHP out there and therefore never have to face any…
  9. 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…
  10. Clearly having a hitter with a 1.180 OPS didn’t work. So why try it again?
  11. 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…
  12. 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…
  13. 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…
  14. 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…
  15. 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…
  16. Oh. I’m confusing High and Hitch again. My bad…
  17. 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…
  18. 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…
  19. Why? Calling up Anthony to replace the oft-injured O’Neill during his IL trips only requires one roster spot…
  20. There’s been a lot of speculation about Abreu being moved, but has Breslow actually tried moving him? I find it hard to believe teams like Pittsburgh and KC have no interest in a 3 WAR Gold Glove right fielder with 5 years of control…
  21. I wouldn’t have minded another year of O’Neill, whose off again/on again playing time creates an opportunity for Anthony as opposed to blocking him. But I do think it’s likely the Sox never get a pick. Pivetta shows up for work pretty regularly and so far that hasn’t worked out regarding his compensatory pick…
  22. Moving Abreu was always its own independent action. Think they move him if Teoscar had signed on?
  23. I liked O’Neill, but he’s only played 280 games in the past 3 years. Im not so sure that counts for the RHB being taken care of. Not to mention there’s a good chance an attached pick ruins O’Neill’s market and leaves him signing with the Chunichi Dragons, who don’t have to surrender a pick…
  24. At this stage a year ago, Corbin Burnes was a Brewer. Big moves and changes do happen in February. Of course, it’s not even February yet…
