The Sox were 39-37 in games started by Vazquez behind the plate this year. Of course, at one point, they were 3-6 in those games…
-
And Enmanuel Valdez is 23, making him nearly 3 1/2 years younger than the average age of the players in the International League…
-
Stork always adds 2 years to every Sox prospect’s age. No idea why. Maybe just trying to remove doubts about his adding ability?
-
They already offered Raffy the $21mill AAV and got rejected. They’re going to have to up it by quite a bit. I am sure abloom got some leeway based on the situation he walked into and whatever his goals are, but at some point, he will need a winner. And keeping Devers (or equivalent) is essential, and his farm should at some point make Devers more affordable by supplying minimum wage talent…
-
I’m assuming $150/6 for Bogaerts, $270/9 for Devers. $55mill in AAV total, bringing the team to $143mill. Is this unreasonable?
-
Probably. And that’s a reduction in pay for JD (in terms of AAV)…
-
Devers and Bogaerts are the foundation. Start there and build up. The Sox are only committed for $88 mill next year (not counting Bogaerts) before arbitration raises and can fill holes multiple ways…
-
I think JD gets one, too. If he accepts, it’s a one year deal. If he declines, it’s a draft pick
-
Possible but risky…
-
I think Bogaerts payday falls between Story (6/140) and Semien (7/175). So … I’m sticking with 6/150..
-
Bogaerts is my SS I think with the cash coming off the books, re-signing Bogaerts and extending Devers makes sense. I’m ok with McGuire doing the bulk of the catching as he is a very good defensive catcher
-
Lineup wise, I’m thinking C: McGuire/Wong 1b: Hosmer 2b: Story 3b: Devers LF: ? CF: Nimmo RF: Verdugo DH: JD if he accepts a QO. Casas/Dalbec if he doesn’t. BN: Arroyo, Pham (plus Wong and Dalbec mentioned above) I’d love Ramon Laureano in RF (with Verdugo returning to LF), but I don’t know what Oakland wants and I think Dave Forst finally started blocking my texts.

1. Judge is unlikely to be available. But he hasn’t signed anything yet. 2. Judge turned down 7 years $213 mill from NYY. So he clearly wants more 3. Judge has topped 112 games twice in 6 years. Granted he should make it a third next week. (2020 was only 60 games so he obviously couldn’t play in 112, but he only did play in 28 so I’m counting it against him.) 4. Judge is 30 and had issues staying on the field in his 20s. He clearly wants to be paid until age 37, and is unlikely to be healthier than he has been. I get the appeal, but these long term mega deals that pay players in their 30s for what they did in their 20s are how teams get in the type of mess the Sox are currently in. If X takes $150mill for 6, he’s the far better option… And get Brandon Nimmo for CF. He fills a huge need…
-
Dead or not, I take Howser over Franchy at 1b…
-
So… you’re not human…
-
Isn’t some of this on Cora? The guy was using Vazquez as a 2b man long before Bloom arrived…
-
Calling someone’s point by point rebuttal isn’t “agreeing to disagree”…
-
From the guy who gets cranky when someone criticizes his opinion…
-
24th wild card at the latest…
-
From what I understand, Kike is starting a rehab stint soon. So a Duran/Franchy Death Match is probably not going to happen…
-
I’m actually wondering why not try Franchy in CF. He has 344 MLB innings spread out over a few seasons, so the metrics are useless. But unlike Duran, he can track a flyball and his offense is probably better. He was a flop at 1b, but he might be ok in CF…
-
He has a really good arm, too. I think he has MLB talent, and if players like Kevin Newman, Geraldo Perdormo and Nicky Lopez are MLB starters, he can at least attain that level. He’s probably best used in a utility role, however…
-
Duran probably wouldn’t be playing if they had other options. Or if they kept JBJ…
-
Nope. Bogaerts. I’m all on board with him although I am not sure the team is. If the Sox signed Correa or Turner, if be excited as both are talented players. But part of me would miss X…
-
He’s just angry because the Yankees are no longer the best team in New York…
