  1. Story and Yoshida signed 1-2 year deals?
  2. Devers at 1b, (the untraded) Duran in LF, Yoshida at DH? There is some hope there. But offensively I greatly prefer Casas over Duran as my keeper…
  3. Verdugo is the Sox second best defensive outfielder. Cora has repeatedly praised his defense. And he’s the only OF capable of playing RF. That said, he’s still probably the most likely trade candidate…
  4. But the top match was actually about James Franco!!
  5. He can alternate in there with Casas and get acclimated…
  6. And I’ll go another direction - the biggest problem is the defense. (Sox rank 26th in DRS, 30th in OAA) I’m hoping the off-season includes the following: 1. Trade Duran for a controllable SP. A deal for Miami LHSP Braxton Garrett makes sense for both teams. 2. Sign Matt Chapman 3. Move Devers to 1b. Casas to DH. 4. Extend Verdugo. 5. Put Rafaela in CF. 6. Live with Yoshida in LF as the sole defensive weakness…
  7. The 1995 team didn’t win anything, but might have had the most switch housers in franchise history…
  8. Franco Harris??!?!? Also no issues with all times saves leader for LHP John Franco…
  9. You need to find the other guy who had the same problem…
  10. I agree better SS defense in March was a big miss. Especially since they never really fixed it until Story returned…
  11. I disliked the deadline apathy as much as anyone, but to cite using openers those two opener games against Toronto is a bit disingenuous. One of them was more of a gimmick opener followed by Pivetta, who is an MLB starting pitcher. If Pivetta came in one inning sooner (after Schreiber allowed no runs), would this complaint be left? And in the other the Sox only scored one run…
  12. The 2017 Phillies Carlos Santana Cesar Hernandez Roman Quinn Andrew Knapp Asdrubal Cabrera Jesmuel Valentin
  13. His fastball was a consistent 93-95mph, whereas in his first outing, he was hitting 95-97. Too small of a sample to draw any conclusions…
  14. It’s his second outing since coming off the Injured List. And he didn’t look too ruined in the first one.
  15. The issues with Houck’s lack of a third pitch are overblown…
  16. Pablo made it interesting. Then Whitlock made it much less interesting…
  17. More likely the Sox deal an OF for a SP. Who was the last big contract SP that Boston signed who worked out? Lackey? I suppose if your criteria for “worked out” is a 5 year deal where he was average the first year, horrible the second, didn’t pitch the third and bounced back in the fourth…
  18. That certainly happens. I recall Bryce Harper switch hit in high school, for example. But some, like JT Snow and Daniel Nava, stopped switch hitting deep into their MLB careers Switch hitters are most often very good from one side of the plate only. Players like Victor Martinez, who was equally good from both sides, are freakish rarities. Most are better left-handed. Switch hitters like former Philly/Sox 3b Dave Hollins, who are far better right-handed simply should not switch hit…
  19. I don’t think his 1 year $2mill extension is going to handicap the payroll in 2024…
  20. Gee, mine is heights…
  21. Their best pitcher against us was McClanahan and their best hitter was Franco. That riddle might be solving itself…
  22. Even serial killer?
  23. Ceddanne Rafaela…
