    I was assuming someone drove you home…

    Players get demoted and promoted all the time. This season, Campbell might outhit Anthony. It’s common for fans to only look at small samples they are familiar with and assume that is reality. I remember back when the Sox traded for Eric Gagne, fans were upset that the Sox had sent the “wrong pitcher” in Kason Gabbard and should have dealt away Jon Lester instead…

    If the Sox make one major signing, it will probably be Alonso. He checks several boxes and contracts for 1b are often less than for other positions. Sounds like a Perfect Fit for Henry…

    But the notion that jobs are won or lost in ST was at least partly shattered by Campbell…

    Bohm falls more into the “Available and Fit Obvious Category.” Checks some boxes, fills a need, but not enticing…

    KC needs an OF. Minor overpay with Garcia is possible, but probably not what KC wants. They do have their own untried OF prospects. Abreu for Bubic and C prospect Blake Mitchell?

    Apex Baseball. Know them?

    That depends on how he was handled when he went back. He was sent down to work on his approach at the plate, at least in part. Well if you make a hitter change things, good chance his BA suffers. For example, say he was told to work on recognizing breaking pitches, and was told “di not swing at fastballs unless you have two strikes.” Well, if something like that was going on, of course his numbers will suffer. Did that happen? No idea, but it’s pretty unlikely they just dumped him in Worcester and said “work it out yourself, kid”…

    I am not so sure ST matters as much as many seem to think. It’s one month worth of unrealistic games involving pitchers just trying to get loose without getting hurt. Clearly, Campbell showed last year it didn’t matter to the extent many think. And while critics cite he was only given the job to justify the contract (which also proves ST isn’t a tryout FYI), they ignore that there was a reason he got that contract in the first place…

    He did demolish 3 minor league levels the year before. Why is that less important than ST? At a minimum, he showed he belonged above AAA…

    Actually, there is a chance he is handed a position. For all the “they gave him an MLB spot to justify the contract talk,” the Sox didnt give him that contract based on numbers they pull out of a hat. He had an unprecedented run through the minors and impressed at every stop along the way. The notion that he was just handed everything is ridiculous. Yes, Campbell had a terrible spring training, but maybe (re: clearly) ST isn’t the tryout many think it is…

    But - easier to extend than Skubal!

    Brad? Sure. Mitch? Absolutely not…

    What we don’t know is how much of keeping him in Worcester was related to defense?
  15. notin
    He did win AL Rookie of the Month in April…
  16. notin
    Barring injury or unforeseen trade, I think it’s 100% likely he is in the lineup and I would bet on it. It seems like quite often the standards of fans exceed the standards of FO personnel filling out the roster…

    Yes. Duran is a terrible SP…
  18. notin
    Yeah he really needed that change of scenery to shine…
  19. notin
    Not without really good blackmail on Royals’ CBO JJ Picollo. Witt is signed for like 11 more years with a &26mill AAV. They’re not looking to trade him…
  20. notin
    Duran and Bello, and then you can eliminate Crochet. That also puts Boston at the 6 player limit on the website…
  21. notin
    Not really. On BTV, if you eliminate Anthony , Duran and Abreu, you cannot acquire Witt without including Crochet. And even then, the package is Crochet, Mayer, Early, Bello and Password for Witt…

    It makes one wonder why an MLB team gave Hicks that eight figure contract to begin with. (sarcasm)
  23. notin
    Not even Roman Anthony? Do you really think KC trades a perennial MVP candidate on a long term contract for a handful of controlled bottom-of-the-order hitters?
  24. notin
    Not really. A couple good catching prospects. And a bunch of pitching prospects either worse than what Boston already has or too far away to predict beyond wild guesses…
  25. notin
    Breslow seemed happy to acquire Hicks. I’m on Team Yoshida. I expect both in Boston…
