  1. Cora didn’t put Martinez in the OF last year where he could have replaced Jackie Bradley and his anorexic batting average. I don’t see him putting Martinez out there over Yoshida. Besides the Sox would very likely have not signed Turner if they brought back JD. And having both in the lineup creates the potential for somehow even worse defense…
  2. Also, “team chemistry” doesn’t make pitchers more effective…
  3. Did the Sox start off with a tough schedule? I remember Baltimore to start, but Pitt and Detroit were in there too…
  4. I didn’t see the play but very often these are ACL/MCL…
  5. https://sports.yahoo.com/red-sox-shoot-fifth-baseball-123519892.html?src=rss&fr=sycsrp_catchall
  6. Right. Bloom should check for one in his seat cushions…
  7. Does that put Stanton in the OF? He still has 4 years $129 mill left on that deal. ($20mill covered by Miami.). He’s not getting moved…
  8. I’d rather have Turner and his 6 fewer home runs than Martinez right now. Martinez’ .312 OBP isn’t dazzling me…
  9. Mark Appel and Brady Aiken were #1 overall picks in consecutive years…
  10. Just fill out the forms…
  11. And both are front runners for MVP in their respective leagues…
  12. So apparently the Sox aren’t the only team that can’t run the bases. Seattle’s Dylan Moore grounded out to left field yesterday. LEFT field… https://www.yahoo.com/sports/seattle-mariners-dylan-moore-commits-234829700.html
  13. I want to say it was a complete failure to read the market. But the market for players priced that high already existed. So accusing him of that would be like accusing him of failing to predict the past. I honestly think it was a case of Henry showing his miserly side…
  14. Ok so why do you suppose Mookie’s contract demands were excessive in 2020 but Devers’ deal was acceptable in 2023? I
  15. Those guys barely combine to make what Price made (in two sets). Price was signed almost 8 years ago and only Devers has topped that deal. And the Sox were able to unload Crawford and lots of other deadweight early on. That deal had 0 Albatrossivity…
  16. Well, maybe if we didn’t sign Price and expose Henry to the riskier side of MLB mega-contracts…
  17. He’s had a better OPS than Devers most of the season…
  18. … and that is why this team needs Matt Chapman next year…
  19. I assume you came back to supply those links I asked you for a couple weeks ago…
  20. Casas is cheaper but he is definitely a question mark at baseball’s easiest defensive position…
  21. Duran is an exciting offensive player at times, but he isn’t all that much of a CF (although infinitely better than he was last year). I do like the idea of a Duran/Garrett deal. Certainly Florida needs the CF help, what with a misplaced and oft-injured Jaz Chisholm out there. Duran-Arraez might be an interesting leadoff combo, as well. I’m sure Miami has a different assessment of Duran than myself and BTV…
  22. BTV actually gives Duran and Casas nearly identical trade values. Duran’s surplus value is $45.7mill while Vasas’ is $47.5mill. I do expect Duran’s to drop more next time they run numbers…
  23. Right. Much better to pay him the same money to be the worst defensive 3b in the league…
  24. Story and Yoshida signed 1-2 year deals?
