Bob Hamelin did win the job as a rookie for the Royals one year and went on to be AL ROY…
-
I’m calling Shenanigans!! You? Not a fan of a platoon!???
-
He does have a full NTC, which can complicate matters. He has no ability to block a DFA…
-
I couldn’t be less wild about Heaney, but he fits too much into the “talented but always hurt” profile that the Sox have had going around for years now. I suppose signing Heaney is tolerable if you’re not counting on him. Maybe Sale + Paxton + Heaney = 1 good SP? Or maybe this is just some horseshit rumor, the type we will be inundated with over the next two months and over 99% of which were never based on anything more than some blogger’s imagination..
-
I don’t like Houck as a starter although his career ERA in that role is like 3.68-ish. He’s had some success. But expecting 150 IP from him is probably insane at this point. I’d rather see Hill back…
-
Do they need someone to replace Wacha and Hill on the IL? WhTs the logic here? “We need someone who makes Paxton look healthy by comparison.”
-
If Devers is not singable, he should be traded…
-
$200million isn’t serious money?
-
Is that the one where you get the first 6 DHs for a penny, but then you have to buy lots more?
-
Dalbec has one skill that’s always worked for him - hitting LHP. He still has a viable role in a platoon, likely at DH with Hosmer…
-
I’ve predicted it. Yes. And I will be right. Maybe this year. Maybe next…
-
He took the banning of the shift a little too far…
-
Yes he could and very likely will get hurt. But that really also applies to all the top tier pitchers this year…
-
Sox trade Easton McGee for cash. It opens up a 40 man roster spot, but probably not much else…
-
A QO to Eovaldii - his other option - does make sense…
-
Downs looks like his ceiling is utility infielder. The only reason he’s getting any mention is Soxprospects put him atop their SS depth chart, which doesn’t mean much. They did it because he’s here and on the 40 man, not because anyone - including the writers at Soxprospects - believes he will be the opening day shortstop. And it’s not like that website has any connection to the team; they’re independent and completely unaffiliated with the Sox. They also have starting lineups for the next few seasons, all of which only use players within the organization. They’re not trying to predict anything, but what they are doing is showing gaps. And right now, the Sox have one at shortstop. And since no borderline sane person thinks Downs will start this year, what you can glean from this depth chart is the Sox clearly need a SS right now. They might move someone like Kike or Story there. Or they might sign a big name free agent or trade for a stopgap player to bridge to Mayer. But they’re clearly going to do something. As for priority, Bloom did say multiple times Bogaerts is his top priority…
-
He is today. Check again in February and he probably won’t be. Not sure how many are ahead of him in the DFA Queue. And I apparently can’t guess because I would have thought Ort was ahead of Bazardo…
-
Yes we get you don’t like his moves. You told us as much all the way through the ALCS 2 years ago…
-
Then who plays 2b or CF? The point is there’s some voids. Of course arguing over which is the top priority is kind of stupid since they’ll all get addressed as best they can.
-
He’d be a better option if he wasn’t aging and weak defensively. If Bogaerts would move to LF or 3b at some point, I’d like him better. Not sure if he still has that “I’m not moving off shortstop” attitude…
-
And yet he’s atop the current Sox shortstop depth chart. Unless you can name a player currently higher…
-
Not to mention, moonslav was listing the weakest spots a top the Sox current depth chart. Jeter Downs is the top of the SS depth chart. Know why? MAYBE BECAUSE SS IS THE BIGGEST NEED!! You really tried to discredit Soxprosoects for pointing out Downs is currently atop the Sox depth chart? Who else? Bogaerts can’t take over that spot until he gets signed…
-
He’s a better option than Correa and Turner?
-
So Baker nixed Contreras because he assumed he’d complain a lot? The only takeaway I get is Baker basically nixed the deal because he wanted a backup catcher and didn’t think Contreras wanted that role. That means little to the Sox…
-
Bogaerts is not on the team. He opted out yesterday. He officially became a free agent…
