    I think it is a sneaky way to get around the rules and recall Walden . Pedroia to the IL , replaced by Walden . Ramirez DFA 'd , replaced by Lin . I don' t think they could have recalled Walden to replace Ramirez .

    Pedroia turns 36 in a couple of months. The knee notwithstanding, he is certainly in the twilight of a wonderful career . How about we let Brock Holt step out of his utility role and give him a real run as the second baseman?

    They could make a big show of it . Dombrowski could hold a press conference. "Introducing our new , fifteen million dollar Special Assistant and part time infield coach , Dustin Pedroia . "

    Very unethical and dishonest.

    Is Nunez about to become the scapegoat for the dismal start to the season ? The next favorite whipping boy ? Stay tuned . Meanwhile , the big concern should still be the bullpen. Every close game with the Yankees will come down to a battle of the bullpens . Let's be honest ; we don't match up very well .

    I wonder how Porcello feels about the word getting out that he openly sought an extension , only to be rebuffed by management. Probably not too good .

    There is a name for the kind of useless , figurehead position some are trying to find for Pedroia . It is called " Special Assistant ."

    JBJ is what he is . A great defender and a streaky , but overall not very good hitter . He has been around long enough to clearly establish that . A career .326 average and a career .716 OPS . There is no reason to think that will change very much . Take it or leave it . I think the bigger issue is still the bullpen . As we saw last night , we are at a big disadvantage when we get into a battle of the bullpens with the Yankees . This could well become a problem as the season progresses .
  9. dgalehouse
    Well , we didn't exactly improve the pitching either . Lost Kimbrel and Kelly , and added Colten Brewer and Erasmo Ramirez . A net loss by any measure .

    One thing about Porcello ; at least he is durable . You can count on him to show up . Can't always say that about the others .
  11. dgalehouse
    I think the first goal is to get to .500 . Then go from there . One step at a time .

    I don't see Happ as anything much . Looking for a win tonight .
  13. dgalehouse
    Thank you .

    Let's face it . When the Sox feel the need to turn to a career ham and egger like Sandy Leon as the answer to their problems , it reeks of desperation . The catching situation should have been addressed during the off season .

    I called my local bookmaker , Paul " Needlenose " Minagge , trying to get those fangraphs odds on the Sox reaching the playoffs. He laughed and hung up on me .
  16. dgalehouse
    I expect the Sox to win tonight. Paxton, when he is on , has great stuff. He can dominate. But Happ is different. He is very average . He will not dominate the way Paxton did . He will give up runs . Now , it's up to Eovaldi to justify his contract.

    The problem with extensions is that some guys get them and some guys don't. Maybe not the best thing for morale .
  18. dgalehouse
    Winning spring training games would have been incidental to better preparation and better focus and effort . All of that was lacking . The actual game results are not important.
  19. dgalehouse
    I think Cora , and other managers as well , are being pressured to go along with the recommendations of the analytical crew . And I think it is going a little too far . I want a baseball man ( and Cora is one ) making the decisions , not baseball's nutty professor , Bill ( the players aren't the game ) James .
  20. dgalehouse
    fangraphs odds mean nothing . They don't take bets on it and they change all the time . Overrated .
  21. dgalehouse
    This is the first time that Cora has faced some adversity in his managerial career . I do think he will do what is needed to right the ship.
  22. dgalehouse
    I honestly thought that Sale threw better last night . The velocity was improved. The results sucked , but I did see a reason for some optimism going forward .
  23. dgalehouse
    The catching situation should have been addressed during the off season . Apparently, the front office decided to rest up and take a long winter's nap . Not a good idea .
  24. dgalehouse
    I mentioned during spring training that the team needed to pick up the pace and start playing better baseball. I was drowned out by the chorus , telling me that spring training was " meaningless " , everything was going according to plan and the boys would be ready to rumble come opening day . Now , I keep hearing that the lousy start is a carry over from a lackadaisical spring training. The tune from the chorus has changed .

    I think Walden was sent to Pawtucket. Does that mean Mejia is coming up ?
