    I don’t mind if they’re in Boston. Just as long as they’re not playing for the Red Sox. But if they want to visit the aquarium or grab a bowl of clam chowder at Legal Seafood, I’m fine with it…

    Defends what? Taking Snell out or trading Snell? The Rays traded Snell for the exact same reason they traded a lot of other players - straight up cost savings. Sometimes they do it before a player gets too expensive because 1) it’s easier to trade him then and 2) you get better return packages. If Bloom still supports taking Snell out in the WS, who cares? Great, he stands up for his manager. But taking Snell out was never his call. Even if he pushed Cash to do it, what was he going to do if Cash didn’t listen? But even after the Stiry signing, you still cling to the Tampa Bay North mantra…

    Interestingly enough, the Sox eventually turned Benintendi into Bradley…

    Knowing Felger and Mazz, they probably meant exactly 3,286 at-bats…
  5. notin
    Felger and Mazz are probably still confused about how Ozzie Smith and his career 28 HRs and .666 OPS got into the Hall of Fame…

    Valentin, if nothing else, might be the most underrated Red Sox shortstop of all time…

    Both have an option. I could see Arausz over Wong. Not sure Valdez or Bazardo make sense over Robles…

    Over Robles? The real issue to me was Wong over Fitzgerald or Arausz…

    Maybe that will be the matchup for a one game playoff?

    He’ll fix that dreadful infield that only has two shortstops currently….

    He has shown that I’m right in his best chances at making it to Fenway involve a paid admission…

    Notin’s 28 Man Roster C: Vazquez, Plawecki, Wong (Wong has experience at C, 2b, 3b and OF. Keeping him allows for pinch hitting for a catcher and still having an option due to injury.) INF: Dalbec, Story, Bogaerts, Devers, Arroyo, Shaw OF: Verdugo, E Hernandez, Bradley, Martinez SP: Eovaldi, Pivetta, Hill, Wacha, Houck BP: Whitlock, Barnes, Brasier, Sawamura, Diekman, D Hernandez, Strahm, Davis, Robles, Taylor Sale to 60 day IL. Still need to DFA one player…

    Derek Holland does deserve a chance to start in Worcester or purchase quality tickets to watch games at Fenway…

    Well don’t forget JBJ is currently on a contract written by another GM…

    I suspect Shaw on the MLB roster, but he also requires someone to be DFAd…
  16. notin
    I suppose this recently DFAd guy fits Bloom’s multiposionsl definition of a bench player. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/diamondbacks-acquire-sergio-alcantara-from-cubs.html Of course, do they have anyone they would DFA to accommodate him? (The have players I would DFA, but anyone Bloom would?)

    Not a surprise. The Red Sox were not going to put a top 100 prospect on the bench and have him not play, especially a top 100 prospect who needs to work on his defense and therefore be on the field every game. But the question of the 4th outfielder (and really, the last two bench spots) is something I’ve been asking for a while..,
  18. notin
    Especially since he’s only been GM/whatever since after the 2019 season…
  19. notin
    Yes. I should have just used by “Houcklock” moniker that indicates either one interchangeably…
  20. notin
    Well he counted Shaw twice and that’s what happened the second time…

    Bold bullpen prediction - despite very limited appearances in spring training, this year’s breakout star in the pen will be Jay Groome…
  22. notin
    Guessing a minimum of 11 pitchers to open the season in the bullpen. So Barnes, Brasier, Whitlock, Diekman, Strahm, Davis, D Hernandez, Sawamura, Robles, Valdez and maybe Crawford…
  23. notin
    How about Hansel Robles instead?
  24. notin
    Rich Hill

    There are a lot of possibilities. I think most if not all agree the bottom 4 are pretty much etched in stone with Verdugo-Dalbec-Vazquez-Bradley, at least vs RHP. The top 5 spots offer numerous acceptable options with varying pros and cons…
