    You really don’t value defense, do you?
  2. notin
    Took 4 hours to disprove this. Moran is long odds to survive until March as well…

    Guarantee his health?
  4. notin
    I seriously doubt it came down to a choice between Pete Alonso and Tristan Gray. More like a choice between David Hamilton and Tristan Gray…
  5. notin
    Gray is basically a left-handed hitting Romy. He plays first, second and third and crushes left-handed pitching. Now if only the Sox had a UIF capable of hitting right-handed pitching…

    Not at pitching. Hitting? Playing 2b? Again, yes. Taking days off because fans teased him? Marte’s better at that too. But not at pitching…

    $105mill. 12th highest in MLB on their site…
  8. notin
    K Marte - $60mill J Ryan - $52mill Not far apart…
  9. notin
    Starling Marte. Sterling is for silver and Sharpe…

    I think so. I also think 12 months from now, you’ll be out here demanding starting pitching, citing how the Sox have no one in the top 75…
  11. notin
    Unless the DBacks think that trade is nuts…

    As for who are the Sox getting, no one can answer that. We don’t even know who is available yet. But the likely answer is no one, since the 40 man roster is currently full and they have to DFA someone just to add Sandlin…

    Former HR champ George Bell was another…

    Even if he gets selected, it seems like at least half of all Rule 5 selections get returned. I say that with no supporting data…
  15. notin
    Out of curiosity, what do you consider competitive vs mediocrity?
  16. notin
    I think too many GMs make weird Rule 5 pickups, because it typically isn’t a good way to add a player. It combines the disadvantage of losing a year of control with a year of development simultaneously. But since we all saw DD try to grab Noah Song after a multiyear absence from organized baseball, a questionable call that ended predictably, I don’t think anyone can anticipate who will get picked anymore…

    Did I say Devers was? Just commenting that larger folks can have baby faces. I doubt hes 260lbs either…
  18. notin
    We’re you suggesting timid childlike innocence with the baby face commentary?
  19. notin
    If Casas is healthy, it’s not a horrible solution. Although Casas has shown he doesn’t need to be platooned. If the Sox are going to platoon Romy with anyone, there are going to be less capable LHH vs LHP that might make more sense. Yoshida leaps to mind if he is still with the Sox…
  20. notin
    A 6’4” 260lb man with a baby face is still 6’4” and 260lbs…

    He certainly commented about it. In the whiniest way possible. “Are they going to ask me to play every position?” No, you selfish SOB. They just want you to pitch in and fill for an injured teammate. Stop whining because you lost the job you wanted for no other reason than the fact that you couldn’t play it…

    We don’t get a say even then. We just get to pretend all of our screaming into the void was finally heard. I’ve made multiple suggestions over the years that the Sox did make. Did they do it because of my posts? Or was it all just a series of unrelated coincidences? Of course, it was the latter. No FO ever has even known I exist, let alone taken my rantings seriously. I was nothing more than the the proverbial blind squirrel…

    Williams becomes a Closer Lifeboat. I mean, if you can’t count on the Titanic, how can you count on the lifeboats?
  24. notin
    I think they protect Sandlin and nobody else, and they usually protect fewer people than I think they will. I do wonder if they protect Noah Song, who pitched at 5 levels last year, ending in AAA…

    Seattle isn’t trading Gilbert or Woo or Kirby for anyone, not after they just commited all that coin to Josh Naylor. Maybe they deal Miller, who, as I often said, really isnt all that good. Or Castillo, who is good but makes more money than the rest of the staff combined. (Or maybe he doesn’t. I don’t know.)
