    I think he’s probably a utility player at best. But the Sox presumably know him better than me and my cursory evaluation…
  2. notin
    It might be as simple as they want him to play and won’t call him up to sit on the bench. Maybe they think he’s actually got a chance to be good. Or at least adequate for an extended period. If Kike gets hurt, they really have no choice, barring another move. They might even think Dalbec can handle shortstop for a few innings or even a full game without derailing the entire season. They also clearly don’t care if Dalbec comes up to sit, which might be a bigger factor than we realize. Just a thought…

    Gotta maintain control of that age 32 season…

    Probably, especially if they don’t like Hamilton’s glove there…

    Most likely they simply didn’t want to being up Hamilton to bench him. But let’s not overreact to the Dalbec/SS situation. After it is entirely possible that even though some fans and John Tomase are not wild about Dalbec at SS, that maybe the Sox saw something in the 67 innings (counting 45 MiLB) in which Dalbec has played SS. Maybe they even looked beyond both errors. If Hamilton’s weak defense was part of why he wasn’t promoted, that’s independent of Dalbec’s promotion. Not like any of us know whether or not Hamilton is even an upgrade at SS over Dalbec…

    I will say waiting on Duran looks good so far, especially since his age was the only reason not to give up on him. Dalbec over Hamilton does make sense if they think Hamilton needs to keep playing…

    I wonder that myself. Hamilton is hiring the cover off the ball right now. Showing power worthy compromising his speed. Soxprospects.com lists his defense as a liability, but sometimes they overstate a player’s shortcomings (an ironic flip from their previous style). So I’m confused, too…

    In 2022, Duran was more part of the problem than part of the solution…
  9. notin
    They didn’t have a slew of injuries in front of Duran; they simply just didn’t need an outfielder at that time. Also Hamilton is 25, unlike Rafaela. If he’s not ready to use, why he even protected? Over Ward?

    I’ve reached the point where I prefer Brasier over Bleier. Can Bleier limbo under the bar being held by Ort? Time will tell…

    You mean… like you just did to moon?
  12. notin
    Boom. Yes.

    Littell was a very good RP for the Giants in 2021. 2.92 ERA in 63 IP. I do see why they took a chance. This was one inning. Schreiber looked awful in his first few innings, too..
  14. notin
    And possibly swing in such a manner that bat and ball meet by accident…
  15. notin
    Agreed. At least they try to use Ort…

    Microfiche? Let me first crank up my Model T before asking Madge to call Klondike 5252…

    The Sox have the older former Padre outfielder Mike Gettys in their system doing exactly that.
  18. notin
    Tampa manager. The Dodgers were the team that blasted the bullpen. That was in 2020 and the pitcher was Blake Snell. I believe he was going to pull him after two times through the lineup, so 6 IP was a maximum (and hopefully an unlikely one)…
  19. notin
    Bernardino has been pretty good. And Joely Rodriguez comes back soon. Bleier for Barnes looks like we dealt right-handed poop for left-handed poop…
  20. notin
    Probably. I can see him talking some time to adjust. He still occasionally looks a little green out there, however…
  21. notin
    Not sure but Henry specifically says in that article that there are “exceptions to every rule.” The bottom line is that quote in that article highlights exactly what moon said, whether or not Henry published a rule or not. He clearly states he was against those type of signings before Price…

    Not really. https://www.providencejournal.com/story/sports/2015/12/04/perhaps-still-leery-aging-pitchers/32933723007/

    Houck showing his stamina and exposure…

    Give Tapia the day off!!
  25. notin
    We might have. Duran was already on the 40 man along with NO other outfielders except Wilyer Abreu. He gets the call if any outfielders…
