    Our hitting will be fine once Mayer and Anthony figure out the major league pitching. We're having to carry Campbell and Hamilton, in addition to Wong when he pitches. But now with DH spot open, we can funnel through players there to maximize the matchup. I would love to see Narvaez bat there on his day off. I just wanted to see Mayer and Anthony this year so I'm pretty happy. Having better starting pitching has really helped.

    “But far more important than the player return is the fact that they were able to move Devers and all of his money." There you have it....quit bitching about the return. If we get any upside, we win the trade. The new word of the Day....REPURPOSE....yep it matters the most how we REPURPOSE the money we saved, $240M or so.

    No way our youngsters going to give up. You realize they have dreamed about this all their lives right? You honestly think Dobbins, Anthony, Mayer, Campbell, Bello, Rafaela, Navarez are going to give up? Chapman? Story? Duran? Refsnyder? Crochet?

    This one is for Moon. Noah Song pitched 2 innings for Portland last night. 0 runs, 1 hit and 3 K's. He's 29 now. Maybe someone will write a song about him when he finally gets to the majors. Talk about never giving up.
  8. Nick
    I'm really going to be confused. Am I now rooting for the Dodgers, the Giants and the Padres and hate the Sox? lol
  9. Nick
    I definitely would not start him unless someone falters or gets hurt. He should be treated like Pivetta was.....go to the pen and work it out. Multiple innings in relief at first.

    It's Nate Eaton ladies and gents. (Good until Abreu comes back) He has batted .274 with a .357 on-base percentage, .453 slugging percentage, .810 OPS, seven homers, 19 doubles, one triple, 35 RBIs, 43 runs, 26 walks and 61 strikeouts in 64 games for Worcester. He has made starts at all three outfield positions as well as third base, shortstop and second base.

    Very good sir....that's how I feel. Certain parks enhance one's production and Fenway does that for many players. I actually think both San Diego and San Francisco are tough hitters ball parks. (I've done no research on this)
  13. Nick
    I think Cora would go out of his way to shield/defend Devers as much as he could and I wouldn't disagree. I would like to think I have my players' back. I mean Devers is his baby. I think he feels the same way about Bello. You can only be hard on Bello as Cora has been if he wasn't the father figure in Bello's baseball life. He cares about Bello very much and he can be hard on him. I'd like to think Bello understands that.....I always tell my players if I'm not talking to you that's when you worry. I've given up on you.

    Few things to think about. Our 3 biggest arbitration players last year were Duran, Houck and Kutter. Houck and Kutter made about $7M between them and I doubt it would go up very much based on what they've done this year. Duran is an interesting case. Bres is all about analytics. Is Duran worth $8M in 2026 based on us being able to put up Anthony, Rafaela and Abreu in the outfield? Also think about Bregman coming back. Doesn't that necessitate Mayer moving to 2B? Or switch spots with Story? Mayer is better infielder than Campbell. Wouldn't Campbell as a right handed batter be natural to move to the outfield? Thus becoming a part time platoon for both Mayer and Abreu? So realistically we have I think about $60M to get to the first tax line (assuming Bregman comes back). But moving Duran should get us another pitching piece. We may part with another starting pitcher, Giolito maybe, if Houck and or Kutter returns. Or maybe one of them gets traded.

    Our bullpen is well rested thanks to stellar outings by our starting pitching. Since last Wednesday, no one had to throw over 20 pitches in an outing and we only used 3(Wed)-0(Thurs)-2(Fri)-3(Sat)-2(Sunday) relievers.
  16. Nick
    Well I see it with my own eyes. While Devers sits on the back bench usually by himself, I saw our three rookies clamoring all over Bregman. Maybe he's easily approachable. I am not here to argue with you. If I follow your logic, then why do we have a cheater as our manager?
  17. Nick
    Starter watch... Crochet, Bello, Dobbins, Buehler, Giolito, Kutter, Houck, Harrison, Fitts, Criswell, Sandoval, Tolle
  18. Nick
    I would love to pin down Bregman. He clearly would be the leader in the clubhouse. Young kids already look up to him.
  19. Nick
    I figure Giolito has 17 starts left. He needs to average 6 innings per start to get to the magic 140 innings to pick up next year's option. Hell, he may not even care. If he's healthy he may get a better deal elsewhere regardless.
  20. Nick
    They were very surprised Montgomery dropped down to #12. Sox has done a good job with Dobbins. He appears to be a keeper right now. We still have Houck, Kutter and possibly a late addition in Patrick Sandoval.
  21. Nick
    Who takes Devers' spot on the 26 man roster? How about "password" to DH? Let's piss off more people....lol
  22. Nick
    It took me 5 minutes to move on.....what can any of us do? I've just become a stronger believer in solidifying the pitching staff more than anything else is our #1 priority. Look how things have changed the last week with our starters putting up solid numbers, going deep into games. We're second in AL in almost every offensive category behind the Yankees but we're hovering at .500 level. That's all I need to know. You need superior pitching to win consistently in this league. Having a Crochet is good start.
  23. Nick
    I am agreeing with you......
  24. Nick
    Oh it's definitely their fault. As I said, what was the plan when they signed Bregman when they had Casas at 1B, waiting for him to blossom. How does Devers fit in? His only spot was DH yet the team complained about having a $30M DH.
  25. Nick
    Bottom line is this....perhaps they painted themselves into a corner..... It goes back to looking for a better defender at 3B that can also hit and they found it. I would think that the team thought this through before signing Bregman. What to do with Devers? Casas was healthy. Then it just came down to thinking that they had a noose around their neck with a DH making $30M a year for next 8 years. No one forced Brez into this situation. I would really love to hear what their long term plans were at the Bregman signing.
