And he can be added to the 40 man roster today, unlike Alfaro, Goodrum and Tapia. He did have a good glove, but the bat is very weak so far in limited action…
-
And Yu Chang is back, claiming the last 40 man roster spot vacated by Story
-
And yet we still managed to beat ourselves…
-
That puts him second since 2000, behind only Andrelton Simmons…
-
Right. You didn’t see Bloom making any deadline deals for injured pitchers last year…
-
… 54 year MLB career as a player and broadcaster…
-
I’d say it’s extremely unlikely Walter becomes an ace, but not impossible. Both Corey Kluber and John Means were extremely unimpressive through age 26. And there are probably others…
-
I wonder, without sloughing through the box scores, how many plate appearances are we talking about that qualify as 2 outs with RISP in a 5 game stretch. 10? 15? 20? And why did they only steal signs with 2 outs?
-
Stealing signs is perfectly legal. It’s the use of electronic equipment that’s not. A non-electronic runner on second flashing signs to the 3b coach is not a problem…

Cora was saying he would have Dalbec workout at SS. The assumption is it positions him to play there if needed. Like I said before, Dalbec is already on the 40 man. They could add Goodrum once Story hits the 60 day, but that limits the ability to use that spot for anyone else. The Sox have other needs they probably worry about as much or more than backup SS, such as starting catcher, and replacing any pitchers who get injured in ST. And Cora has been reportedly using Dalbec in other positions for a while, including not only SS but also 2b and OF. In fact, there was some needless panic on this board when a story discussed that last season. Whether we like their defensive abilities and limitations or not, both Dalbec and Duran still hold 40 man roster spots and have been bypassed for DFA multiple times. This does keep both in the picture for reserve roles either to start the season or as injuries occur. At least for now…
-
But this is just about practice, which, unlike DFAs, is something Cora controls…
-
If my request for Smug Time gets approved…
-
I’m ok with that…
-
And to think how many shot me down when I said that EXACT SITUATION was a possibility. And if that happens, it absolutely increases Dalbec’s likelihood for an opening day roster spot over Goodrum. I’m requesting some Smug Time…
-
Apparently I quoted the wrong post. Harmony did say this exact words…
-
There’s no debate on that part. Im just hoping we can be the Dodgers and sign that Hall of Famers…
-
A slow start how? Has he already blown 3 saves?
-
Darvish is there Sale. You know, the guy they extended along with signing Bogaerts that made it impossible to afford their future Hall of Fame talent…
-
They treat those guys like starting pitchers. If the Sox role out an opening day 5 man rotation of Sale, Paxton, Kluber, Whitlock and Pivetta, all of them have had TJ except Pivetta…
-
Yankees could sure use Waldichuk right now…
-
But he’s had TJ surgery, and they do seem to like that …
-
This dawned on me not too long ago. Pitching prospects just don’t pan out at a greater rate than position prospects. If the goal is to build a farm system rife with MLB talent, the easiest, safest and fastest way is to focus on position players and their lower attrition rate…
-
They might have to choose between Machado and Soto. Their once-thriving farm system isn’t producing the minimum wage gap fillers anymore…
-
Or develop position prospects that can be traded for arms…
-
How many pitchers who have gotten “large and long” contracts have been worth it? That method of signing free agents has a better track record for derailing franchises than for winning rings…
