The Savior!!!
-
The prime candidate (along with Ort) for “most questionable use of a 40 man roster spot”…
-
Brasier really isn’t horrible. We’ve seen worse, and anyone we try to replace him with is more likely to be a step down than a step up…
-
There is no place to sweat the mop up guys. Even in a thread titled “Sweating the Mop Up Guys” Now if we get to a point where Ort is needed for meaningful innings, I’m on board with moving him out and getting a capable (or even an untried) replacement…
-
Or at least move up in the lineup…
-
Vazquez was a free agent. He was going to leave in 2 months unless the Sox topped the Twins’ offer. Also didn’t his replacement have a big hit last night?
-
I’m sure they will, but not hard enough, and it won’t matter anyway…
-
It wasn’t me, but probably just a matter of opportunity. I’m glad Sale had a great outing. Not actually surprised because 1) Fangraphs had his average fastball velocity at a respectable 93mph before that outing and 2) the Twins’ offense is dreadful. Still he managed to exceed my meager expectations and (more important) not get hurt. Now I can go back to my off-season prediction that the Sox season depends heavily on Sale…
-
Ooops. I somehow slipped on that. Still. The plan is obvious. Hire Hall of Famers and put them up for stud. Let’s farm out Pedro and Chipper and Bagwell. Jeter’s already busy doing it for everyone else. Maybe McGriff? Baines. Just not Craig Biggio…

4/18 Twins @ Red Sox, 7:10 pm
notin replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Complete lack of key hits against the best staff in MLB to date. Makes Devers’ poor baserunning decision (or possibly Carlos Fables’ decision?) to not try to score on Yoshida’s ground out in the first much more significant… -
I e been anti-Brasier since 2019, but if he’s the 7th or 8th man on the bullpen depth chart, the bullpen fine

Dress Barn… -
Paxton might be cleared by Thursday…

And the utility guy was the one spawned by a Hall of Famer* *Until Vlad Sr. gets inducted…

So other positions cannot be mentioned in passing?

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But you’re not listening to him… -
The longest of long shots, but also probably the best one the Sox have. After all, if he wants to play with Yoshida (which he probably does but won’t let it be a factor in his decision), the Sox are the only team that can accommodate him. Of course, Ohtani didn’t hire an agent to get him a play date. He’ll go for the money…
-
How is Senga a reasonable comp to Yoshida?
-
Back then $160mill would buy you the AL West…
-
I think he’s talking about overreactions to two games…
-
I think that applies to everyone in last year’s free agent class. How many of these people who expected Yoshida to go for less had Brandon Nimmo pegged for 8 years $162mill? (What a difference 20 years makes. In 2001, that kind of deal gets you a 27yo Manny Ramirez. In 2022, it only gets you a 30yo Brandon Nimmo.)
-
So it’s all 5Gold’s fault!!!
-
Maybe they were the same guys who wrote these? https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2019/3/25/18281381/ichiro-suzuki-scouting-report-99-do-not-acquire
-
I’m ok if he turns in a count-working slap hitter, as long as he improves…
-
Maybe those 6.5 runs are influenced by the Seabold/Winckowski/early Bello starting rotation from last September that was then relieved by a bullpen that created more runs than Applebee’s chili and ExLax combined…
