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…
-
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..,
-
Especially since he’s only been GM/whatever since after the 2019 season…
-
Yes. I should have just used by “Houcklock” moniker that indicates either one interchangeably…
-
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…
-
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…
-
How about Hansel Robles instead?
-
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…
-
The Red Sox stole 40 bases last year, which tied them with Whit Merrifield. I’m not so sure they’ll build a lineup around Story’s attempts to steal…
-
Why does JD have to bat 5th?
-
It amazes me you can get anywhere what with all that backtracking
-
Doesn’t matter. First round drafts picks flub every year in every sport. Why do people pin such lofty expectations on high school and college athletes? Even the teams don’t do it. I’ve never seen a GM in any sport fired over a single draft pick. And really, why do you put so much emphasis on being a first rounder, when by your own repeated admission, you don’t care about prospects until they reach the major league club? Even if they’ve on the 40 man roster, which is technically “reaching the major league club”? First round draft picks are just prospects, after all…
-
You weren’t the first, but not only did you agree it was devastating, you held Houck (whom you called “inconsistent”) to the same standard as a #7 overall pick…
