  1. Is “feisty” the right word here? Some folks might leap directly for “immature”…
  2. Sure it does of Alfaro makes the MLB team and they send Wong to WOO…
  3. Hide the scissors!!
  4. He’ll wonder how it injures him?
  5. Catcher platoons are rare. It’s more common to start them based on stating pitchers on their own team rather than the opposing one…
  6. Maybe. Of course a couple days ago, I said the Sox are probably looking to bring in a player on a minor league deal that they intend to promote once they can put Story on the 60 day IL. I wasn’t thinking Catcher, but why not?
  7. Basically gives Reese McGuire two months maximum to secure a starting role…
  8. Eh. Not a needle mover as a transaction, but a no risk moderate reward move…
  9. I never said that. The Sox might use other catchers, but the only advantage Hernandez ever had was already being on the 40 man. I’m not so sure he’s still a more likely candidate than Caleb Hamilton, Kole Cottam or Stephen Scott…
  10. Until they acquire a SS or 2b, Arroyo is the starter. Unless her gets platooned with Valdez. He could also wind up in a platoon with Duran where E Hernandez flips between 2b (vs RHP) and CF (vs LHP), but that’s probably a bit of a long shot…
  11. Hey, this ain’t 1982…
  12. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
  13. R Hernandez was removed from the 40 man…
  14. It’s like how San Diego keeps hoarding shortstops, the Sox are hoarding left fielders…
  15. I think, unless the Sox deal Verdugo, they only add one player. If it’s Andrus, we probably see Kike shift to 2b and Duran take CF. I just don’t see adding Profar, who has almost no recent experience at any position the Sox need. Duvall makes some sense but leaves some question marks in the middle infield. Ditto Duvall…
  16. The only one I definitely disagree on is German, but only because he arrived in 2022. (Assuming by “arrive” they mean “debut”.)
  17. I think it would take a lot less to get into the postseason in 2023. Of course having 3 wild card spots does help. Really if Yoshida can come close to Bogaerts’ 22, that would be a huge step. Plus I would imagine addressing the most glaring weakness (bullpen$ should go a long way to adding a few more wins to the 78 from last season. Obviously no guarantees. Injuries could derail this team. Unless they’re to outfielders…
  18. History has shown that just because the OP knows an article is old and outdated doesn’t mean everyone who reads it does. As you might have noticed, I didn’t even respond to you, but rather someone else who responded to you…
  19. The time to spend on a RF was 2019. And mvp is fairly confident it won’t be Verdugo out there this year. Right now, I’m not sure there are any positions I’d go large and long for with external candidates. In just don’t think you spend large and long on positions; you spend large and long on special players…
  20. I know. But the notion that they cleared him to play in 2022 and after the season, he got injured so therefore the medical opinion was wrong seems a little too hasty. Did he even do anything to aggravate his flexor strain all year? Is the bracing surgery even on the same tendon? (Is it? I’d assume it was but I don’t know for sure.) I never wanted Story, whom I felt was too much of a Coors product and, once you get him out of the mountains, would morph into Paul DeJong. The only thing I liked was the temporary death of Tampa North
  21. Mostly because you’re looking at short term needs and criticizing how the long term solutions fill them. The Sox do need a shortstop for 2023. Maybe 2024. But does that mean it’s their top need for the next 11 seasons?
  22. First rumors linking them!! At least as far as I’ve seen https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb-rumors-red-sox-interested-173000250.html
  23. Kike is a good player. Not sure why anyone makes any kind of big deal about him…
  24. Even that’s just supposition. The doctor may have initially said “this will never require surgery.” Although the second opinion offered up by Dr. Biggio and Dr. Bagwell apparently conflicted with this diagnosis. The problem is the Sox apparently decided to eschew getting a tie-breaking medical opinion from Dr. Jeter and Dr. Rivera…
