  1. It's too early to give up on a Gold Glove centerfielder.
  2. It's 8 years, starting 2025. So he'll be here at least through season 2032. Then the Sox has two options years at $19M and $21M. I think the options will be a no brainer. Those numbers look pretty small based on his potential. Great get by the Sox.
  3. I was looking at Cot's. It just astounds me that LA luxury tax payroll sits at $403M and the Yankees at $306M. We're at $240M. Geez, what can we buy for another $160M?
  4. Yeah, I think it's a pretty big deal. So if the injury is timed just right, then we essentially get two years of service for one missed year, the second year at a discount. So if he has not season injury in 2029, misses April, May, June and July, and comes back to pitch in the world series, he'll have to pitch 2030-2032? Not that I'm hoping for it.
  5. I'll buy that! I really don't have any source.
  6. Very, very cool. Unfortunately I live in Indianapolis suburb. Our senior skip day was going to the Indianapolis 500 time trials. Back then, the entire month was devoted to the 500. Two weeks of time trials.
  7. I am extremely happy with this version of JH. I'm also not 100% sure if Betts wanted to be in Boston.
  8. Looks like the magic date for Mayer and Anthony to come up is April 11, the start of the weekend series at White Sox. Essentially we get 7 years. It's worth the wait.
  9. "With Devers struggling so much, you may not have noticed that Trevor Story has also been unable to do anything with the bat so far this season. He’s currently 2-15 with 6 strikeouts. He also says his recently injured shoulder is fine, and that the issue is that he’s chasing too many bad pitches." Yeah, quit talking about it and fix it........he can take a seat next to Yoshida. Come on up, Mr. Mayer.
  10. It's incredible to think JH never factored in the present value of future layouts for Betts. It sure looks affordable. Of course to make things worse, we hand out $18M to Yoshida and $22M to Story like we have a money tree at Fenway.
  11. As it turns out, the best thing trading away Xander was receiving a 4th round compensatory pick that yielded one Kristian Campbell. To think we have Kristian for 6 years of team control. Padres are stuck with 9 years at $25M per year. That one doesn't hurt as much as Betts getting away.
  12. Grrat great news. I"m very impressed by steps that Sox are taking.
  13. 2-15......I mean Why is he batting 5th? Abreu should bat clean up and Campbell 5th......then you can line up no contact hitters after. Hell have Refsnyder bat 2nd and let Devers work out his swing somewhere off the field.
  14. Big mistake bringing in Weissert. He'll give up couple of runs. He had brief success last year but he's sucked since.
  15. Come on Cora. Be a freaking manager. Quit embarrassing Devers. 14 K's in 18 AB.
  16. Yeah, I am really ready for him to have some minor mishaps.....he's just not clutch. I haven't seen it. I rather watch Mayer 24/7 than Story. Another guy we should trade. So we now have dead contracts in Yoshida and Story.
  17. So which is it? Spring Training stats mean NOTHING or it means SOMETHING?
  18. Yes, that was stupid on my part. Frustrated.
  19. Sounds much better.......I am just flabbergasted by his inability to make a contact. I bet there's a player in mlb that won't have as many swing and misses in entire April as Devers after 4 games. Ugh
  20. Refsnyder can platoon with Devers.
  21. If you go back to 8/2/24, Devers is 33-174, .190 (est). with 59 k's and 24 BB with only 4 HR (all in August). He should be batting 9th until he figures it out.
  22. I am little frustrated but there are many good signs for this team. Our pitching has been more than adequate. We have a true ace in Crochet. Houck pitched better than he had in spring. Buehler is simply a professional. Excited for Richard Fitts. With the addition of Whitlock, our bullpen appears to be decent. Cora made great call on Campbell. I think we've found our 2B. If there's an opening in OF, he can fill it. We don't have to panic if Story goes down. Or say Duran. We have Mayer that can step in to play 2B and Campbell can move out to left. I think we're capable of going on winning streaks. Obviously for that to happen, Duran, Devers, Story and Casas have to hit. That's too many black holes at the top of the lineup.
  23. Gunderson, now Cowser and starter Rodriguez out for the Orioles.
  24. "Agree about Casas. He'd rather go down looking at strike 3 and pat himself on the back for being right about a call than protecting the plate." I can't say any better than this!!!!
