I listed Rafaela. Hamilton? Maybe. But teams often go through more pitchers than pinch runners…
-
I could see him added to the 40 man once Story can be placed on the 60 day IL…
-
I probably should have added the caveat that not all will debut for Boston. But either way, I needed a risky prediction. All the other ones I chose are likely to start in AAA and are on the 40 man roster
-
MLB debuts this year? I’d say Mata, Walter, Murphy, Valdez, Rafaela and maybe Feltman. That list is very often pitcher-heavy…
-
And Wyatt Mills
-
Wendle looks less likely now that Miami has dealt Rojas, but he certainly fits my DRS theory as a 2b. I’d still prefer a SS…
-
Agreed. But this is not exactly a new behavior from BA; they’ve always listed Japanese free agents as prospects regardless of age..
-
What works against Yoshida is he’s already 29. None of the other 99 players listed are 2 years into their prime …
-
Well if you’re the Cardinals, and you have this $9mill shortstop who plays great D and has serious pop, but struggles mightily against MLB fastballs, and that you demoted to the minors last year, do you take a flier on Barnes, knowing worst case scenario is you lose $1.6mill? And if you’re Bloom, do you want a prospect - even a fringe one - included?
-
Also, Ort has gas. True. But so did Jacob Wallace, who was traded away. So did Julian Merryweather, whom he passed up on waivers. So does Manny Rodriguez, sitting out there on waivers right now. Ort throws hard. But so do a lot of pitchers…
-
I assume “???” means “non-photoshopped jpegs of compromising positions”…
-
No way are they the oldest. Last year, the Sox were the 11th oldest team with an average age of 28.8 years, just behind the Miami Marlins. Adding Jansen, Martin and Duvall certainly ups them a bit lit. But bear in mind we also lost Rich Hill, among others…
-
Ort appears to be immovable. Whatever blackmail he has on Bloom, it’s apparently rock solid…
-
So do you trade him now? His good first half might be worth acquiring for some team. If the Sox are out of it at the deadline, there will be no shortage of tradable pieces…
-
Hey Kepler can play a mean right field…
-
Depends. The Sox could deal Barnes ($10.6mill including buyout) for Paul DeJong ($9mill) and fill their shortstop void, which then fills the second base void when Kike flips over to the other side of the diamond. But given Barnes’ strong finish, should they?
-
Exactly. He makes more than Pivetta and Brasier combined…
-
I doubt he gets let go for that specific move. But the big picture at present doesn’t look good. I mean, we saw a GM select an unprotected Johan Santana in the Rule 5 draft and then trade him for some random human being named Jared Camp. That GM was Dave Dombrowski, and it didn’t inhibit his ability to build a career..
-
Keep me posted for when it is. I’m actually holding back…
-
I swear you said that exact same thing (except for the year, obviously) in 2018…
-
I do think Tapia means Duran gets DFAd. And as he’s extremely unlikely to clear waivers, I’d think he does get traded. But trading him for any of the aforementioned shortstops, while it makes sense from a baseball perspective, fails to achieve the objective of DFAing Duran in the first place, which is clearing a 40 man roster spot for Duvall…
-
Interestingly, despite playing there for only 900 innings in the past 3 years, Christian Arroyo is still top 10 in MLB in DRS for a 2b. I’d still like a good glove at SS. Put Kike in CF, Duvall in RF, Verdugo in LF, and Yoshida to DH. But that does create an issue with what to do with Justin Turner. And I don’t think the Sox are going to bench him for Paul DeJong…
-
Even if he is, that still leaves the glaring question about who plays 2b…
-
Or dump salary to trade for salary…
-
I can’t get younger, but if it helps, I can be more immature…
