    Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge notwithstanding, FanGraphs ranks the Red Sox first in projected WAR from right field: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-right-field/

    FanGraphs ranks the Red Sox in the Top 5 in left field and I suspect the Sox will rank well at other outfield positions, starting pitching and relief pitching. I've posted the FanGraphs rankings in chronological order of their release and by chance the lower Red Sox rankings were released first. Be patient. The Sox rank sixth out of 30 in projected total WAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3

    I'll take the under. FanGraphs has the Red Sox at 93 wins: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Standings 92 wins by another FanGraphs measure: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/your-stance-on-the-team-projections/

    Marcel projects 2018 OPS of .746 for Blake Swihart, .718 for Christian Vazquez and .715 for Sandy Leon, but FanGraphs Depth Charts projects Swihart at the bottom of the catcher OPS pile: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#C https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/swihabl01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/vazquch01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/leonsa01.shtml

    For what it's worth, FanGraphs ranks the Red Sox 21st in projected WAR from the catching position: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-catcher/

    The Kansas City Royals have signed Clay Buchholz to a minor league contract.

    I assume the vague pronoun refers to Sam Travis, who received this note in a scouting report last May: https://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/5/23/15682370/sam-travis-1b-boston-red-sox Coincidentally, Dan Vogelbach's defense has received positive reviews this spring: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2018/3/14/17123240/daniel-vogelbachs-defense-saves-the-day-mariners-win-5-4-shortstopbach-forever https://sodomojo.com/2018/03/17/sodo-mojos-seattle-mariners-round-table-spring-training/

    A year ago on this forum I suggested that Sam Travis was a mirror image of Seattle's Dan Vogelbach, another defensively limited first baseman and former teammate of Kyle Schwarber (Travis at Indiana University and Vogelbach with the 2015 Double A Tennessee Smokies). The 2018 projections are similar for Travis and Vogelbach, who were born about eight months apart and who each remain under team control for six seasons: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=14130&position=1B https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=16263&position=1B https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/travisa01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=vogelb000dan Each has displayed power this spring, posting these numbers entering Sunday's games: ST 47 PA, .267/.298/.622/.920 DV 51 PA, .400/.529/.850/1.379 Vogelbach may get his shot to start at first base as projected starter Ryon Healy recovers from hand surgery.

    I missed the report that other teams want Blake Swihart "badly." http://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/blake-swihart-would-benefit-trade-and-his-trade-value-may-never-be-higher I guess a trade would take only one team that buys into the high end of the divergent 2018 projections for Swihart instead of many disturbingly low projections: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/swihabl01.shtml https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13176&position=C

    Substance, if any, gets lost in the pervasive profanity.

    Some hold the same sentiment about the Red Sox.

    A week ago this Over the Monster podcast discussed the likelihood of a Blake Swihart trade: https://www.overthemonster.com/2018/3/8/17097978/red-sox-podcast-blake-swihart-trade-david-price-bullpen-usage

    Jason Kendall had already posted 20.1 fWAR when he was the current age of Blake Swihart, who has posted 2.0 fWAR. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=993&position=C

    What kind of return could the Red Sox expect in a trade of five years of Blake Swihart in light of his divergent 2018 projections as the switch-hitter approaches his 26th birthday in a few weeks? https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13176&position=C https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=swihar000bla

    The projected 2018 WAR of 0.7, which last year was valued at $5.5 million, and the $22 million vesting option for 2019. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=8001&position=SS

    The tanking Miami Marlins are 11-6 in Grapefruit League play (a game and a half up on the Red Sox). A Spring Training record is not indicative of a team's quality but I suspect the Marlins are not nearly as bad as many fans think. Fans tend to exaggerate prognoses: the strengths of the Yankees are exaggerated just as the weaknesses of the Marlins are exaggerated.

    Blake Swihart reportedly will get a start at third base on Sunday: http://www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2018/03/blake_swihart_boston_red_soxs.html#incart_river_index

    Just as I had hoped Blake Swihart's age 25 season last year would approach catcher Mike Zunino's age 25 season in 2016, I hope Swihart's age 26 season this year approaches Zunino's age 26 season in 2017.

    FanGraphs Depth Charts, Steamer, ZiPS and Marcel project the following 2018 batting averages, on-base percentages and OPS for Blake Swihart: FG: .235/.296/.649 S: .242/.304/.672 Z: .228/.288/.726 M: .265/.333/.743 2017 AL average: .256/.324/.753

    Impressive. Where do you find that information?
