    Giolito and Croshet are both listed at 6-6, 245 Ibs. Big boys. Richard Fitts comes in at 6-3 and 230 Ibs.
  2. Nick
    Up to >1.000 OPS and projected 35 HR/120 RBI.
  3. Nick
    I'm okay with him giving up hits. Please no walk-a-thon. You know, throwing 50 pitches in 2 innings.

    One final thought before the game. There was a piece on MassLive talking about Devers playing 162 games because he is just a DH. Cora spoke about keeping Devers healthy and that seems to be his biggest concern with Devers. That concern maybe what's holding back Devers from playing the field. Lots of interaction with ball and players while manning 1B. No point in losing 30 games because of a pulled muscle stretching to dig a ball on an errant throw.

    I'd say give him an extra year at the same salary. Go ahead and give him another year of opt out. Basically he signed for 4 years at $160M versus 3 years at $120M. He doesn't lose anything because of another opt out. Basically we are saying that HE WAS WORTH THE MONEY IN 2025 SO LETS GIVE HIM EXACT CONTRACT AND PRETEND IT'S DAY AFTER THE WORLD SERIES. 4 YEARS, $160M is pretty good security.

    Yariel Rodriguez will be the starter. Bullpen game. He has pitched 2 innings on 2 occasions.
  7. Nick
    We'll pick him up at $14M and then he'll get hurt again with our luck....$52M investment, ugh (sorry, just get cynical at times)
  8. Nick
    I'm assuming 2.00 ERA is delusional and not the 135 innings pitched, correct? lo
  9. Nick
    TBD is Jay's starter today. Their rotation took a hit with double header versus the Yankees on Sunday, using Bassitt and Gausman. Berrios started Friday so he could pitch today or tomorrow. Jays sent down Lucas (#5 starter) after back to back poor starts on 4/20. Maybe they'll bring up someone or go with the bullpen. I don't believe Scherzer is ready to pitch after his last injury. They look thin at starting pitching.

    If I am interpreting Cot's correctly, Giolito is pitching this year at $19M and will be entitled to mutual option of $19M in 2026 if he pitches at least 140 innings in 2025. I think at most he has 25 starts left in 2025. If he falls short of 140 innings, then the Sox has the option of returning him for 2026 at $14M. Is it wrong of me to wish him 135 innings pitched with a ERA of 2.00?

    I was checking out the heights of American League 1B. Carlos Santana is the shortest at 5' 10'. Devers is 6' tall and he's much more quicker than Casas. Considering that Devers' errors were mostly throwing, I would be ok with him at 1B. But that would mean we have given up on Casas at a time when his trade value is all time low. Hell I would be okay with Refsnyder DH'ing.
  12. Nick
    It appears we have 3 solid starters right now in Crochet, Buehler and Bello. Houck is trending similar to Pivetta three years ago when he ended up in the bullpen. Let's just hope Giolito doesn't take two months to get it right.
  13. Nick
    We have 3 players hitting over .900 OPS, most in AL East (not counting Refsnyder) Bregman, Abreu, Campbell
  14. Nick
    What's wrong with the Orioles? Losing 9-0 against the Yankees in the fourth. Ugh They did win yesterday so that's a plus.
  15. Nick
    Campbell leads Misner of Rays in Rookie of the Year chase, ops of .927 vs .920.
  16. Nick
    Story in midst of 1-26 slump.
  17. Nick
    The bullpen looks well rested. Slaten and Chapman available.
  18. Nick
    At what point do you say enough is enough? What good is it for Mayer to spend more time in AAA? He had a hot spring training. Very slow start at AAA. Now he's become a hitting machine. He certainly can play 2B well enough and also give Story and Bregman some days off to keep them fresh. Sure his bat can cool. So what? It's no different than injured major leaguers going on a rehab assignment. No one pays attention to results. They just want to see Bello, as an example, get to the 5 inning level. Mayer is ready. Hamilton has 2, count them, 2 stolen bases. Sure he maybe more valuable this week if we were in a world series and he had one specific job to do. But this is a regular season. I know I've said Campbell should just stick to 2B. Hell move him to CF some. Get enough bats for Mayer. He is wasting time in AAA. Does it matter if he goes 1-4 or 3-4? He's the same player in AAA.

    I like Buehler's attitude. He gets the ball and throws. I see him as a confident pitcher, always attacking. Hey, if money's not objective, why not go 4 years and $80M. He turns 31 in July. Starters and age as of 9/30/25 1 G. Crochet (26) under team control through 2031 2 B. Bello (26) under team control through 2029 plus team option for 2030 3 K Crawford (29) under team control through 2028 4 T Houck (29) under team control through 2027 (no reason to extend him) 5 H Dobbins (26) under team control at least through 2030 6 R Fitts (25) under team control at least through 2030 7 P Sandoval (28 ) under team control through 2026 (may return late 2025) Buehler is not that much older than Tanner Houck. If we extend him, we may be able to sit tight this winter.
  20. Nick
    AL East OPS>.700 (Qualified Players) 1 Yankees (7) 2 Red Sox (6) plus Refsnyder who leads the team with .967, can he play 1B? 3 Rays (3) 3 Jays (3) 5 Orioles (1) Rafaela is now up to .644. Casas is stuck around .583 (he's just happy when he calls the balls and strikes and the umpire agrees with him) Orioles change out ownership with deeper pockets. New owners then sought advice from John Henry.
  21. Nick
    We do not have our organization's best 13 position players on our roster right now. I hope we can win with one hand tied behind our back.
  22. Nick
    Whitlock, Slaten and Chapman all available today. We need Houck to go at least 5 innings today. Got to get the ball to Whitlock for 2.
  23. Nick
    I believe both Mayer and Anthony should be extended. Thus team control issue may not exist. The goal is to go Campbell route. Not get bogged down in 'getting a deal' by going cheap on our young talent. I would think the extension approach has passed Casas. He bet on himself and he gave himself a crappy hand to work with.
  24. Nick
    my arbitration years are off.....it starts in 28, 29, 30, 31. I made the same mistake elsewhere earlier.
  25. Nick
    You are CORRECT MOON. ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING HE'LL HAVE ARBITRATION IN 2027, 2028, 2029 AND 2030. HE'LL FOLLOW THE PATH DURAN IS ON. DURAN ACCUMULATED 155 DAYS, NOT ENOUGH TO GAIN 1 YEAR OF SERVICE TIME. DON'T YOU TRUST ME? If he has a great year and wins an award to lose one year of eligibility, it's great for the Red Sox season. Probably means we're in the playoffs.
