I’d have concerns if Dalbec was a proposed solution for Story’s injury, but that’s hardly the case. Last year, there was a mini-panic on this board when we learned Dalbec had been working out at 2b and in the OF. And we didn’t even learn about that until August!! At which time Dalbec had accrued 0 innings at either position…
-
I’d all but given up on Groome, but it probably won’t take much for him to outproduce Rosier and Ferguson…
-
The big differed Refsnyder is on the 40 man and Tapia isn’t. Not sure if Tapia’s contract stipulates his release if he isn’t added…
-
I don’t think it’s similar to Arroyo at all. One guy was part of a platoon, the other guy is 6 people deep on the depth chart. Don’t you think other teams experiment with the positions of bench players in ST? And always have?
-
Dalbec has done regular season emergency duty at shortstop before. He may have to do it again. If Story, Mondesi, Kike, Arroyo and Chang are out, I’ll take Dalbec over Refsnyder or Wong at SS for a few innings…
-
If it goes wrong, best go wrong in March. Besides, even if he plays SS, he’s likely far enough down the depth chart that any experience is a plus…
-
They want him to be more versatile since he’s not likely to start. Spring Training is preferable to work this out. Why do people think this is such a horrible move? He looked Ok at short in limited action last year..
-
Mills isn’t hurt. That bolsters his chances immensely…
-
The only one that causes me worry is Mills, since he might very well be on the opening day roster…
-
One game. 4 IP. Bad days happen for prospects…
-
The Bartman thing was a city-wide embarrassment starting with the Chicago Sun Times actually publishing his name, home address and work address the day after the massively overblown incident. But until 2016, rooting against the Cubs felt like rooting against David when he took on Goliath…
-
You root against the Cubs!?!?!??
-
I always want to see the Mets lose. Unless they’re playing the Yankees…
-
Before you go too deep into how little you care about Sale’s contract, bear in mind you did bring up about the contracts of game-changing athletes being worth it long term. I just hope Sale lasts all year. I’ve stated many times 2023 rests largely on Sale…
-
Sale hasn’t been a guy that produced on the early part of his deal and is just dealing with age-related regression. Since driving that deal in 2019, he has been paid $71million (accounting for a partial 2020 season) and thrown 48 innings total. He’s basically been paid $1.5mill per inning. The good news for Sale is with contracts, it’s not how you start but how you finish. Not many when talking about Lackey mention his first 3 years in Boston, for which then then-highest paid pitcher in team history totaled a 5.26 ERA across 375 IP. He’s much more remembered for seasons 4 (especially in the postseason) and season 5…

If you’re not listening to Rick Sutcliffe, you have no reason to complain. Just ask yourself “WWRSD?” (What would Rick Sutcliffe do?) and know the answer is blather on endlessly about unrelated topics until you as the audience either fall asleep, throw a chair at the TV, or (somehow) both. You’re not listening to Rick Sutcliffe. It’s a good day…
-
Exactly. And I’m not surprised being behind them. The same didn’t go for the Jays and White Sox…
-
The Giants are typically among the top spenders. Jays? Almost never. White Sox? Definitive second tier for payroll…
-
I think it just means 3 weeks of Hicks. The Yankees aren’t adding Dominguez to the 40 man roster, starting his service time, and burning an option year to avoid their $10mill backup outfielder…
-
The point is Rodon has pitched in parts of 8 seasons, and seen 5 of them cut short by injury. That he went two years without maiming himself doesn’t mean that is all behind him. (In fact, I think he actually finished 2021 injured.) I pointed out all off-season before the Yankees signed him that Rodon was a major health risk. (As if this was news.) Not sure why anyone would find this surprising. The injuries to Bader and Trivino surprised me. Rodon? Not at all. And I won’t be surprised if Severino gets hurt either. Nor Sale. Nor Kluber…
-
The hope is he bounces back from lost time like 39yo Justin Verlander did last year after two lost seasons. It’s a slim chance but there is precedent…
-
Wong isn’t likely going to be a starter, but Stephen Scott might be…
-
So yesterday we saw a couple risky extensions. Corbin Carroll signed for 8 years $111mill after 115 career plate appearances. Washington also extended Keibert Ruiz and his career 97 OPS+ for 8 years / $50mill. The latter could be the new equivalent of the extension the Royals gave to Salvador Perez. Per MLBTR, the Red Sox are looking into doing something similar with Casas…
-
Solely number two. Wins can make it more fun, but so many IP and AB go to players you may never see again that it does kill the significance of a good record or a bad one…
-
I never expected anything from Goodrum beyond maybe holding down the SS position in Worcester for the first few months of 2023…
