    He has two home runs. A rookie for the A's doubled that in one game. I'd say Roman did alright for himself.

    Just be glad they held onto Username, brother of the Password.

    A lot of posters think W-L records are useless -- but only for pitchers, not for teams. That's about as sane as it gets here; it couldn't be because the Sox didn't want a pitcher who would average 2.7 WAR (and counting) every season for the past four years like Wacha... because they have had zero guys accomplish that.

    I researched. The offer was more than Hamilton for Castillo. It was Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.

    How does Anthony compare to Betts, except that both made the majors as 21-year-old outfielders for the Red Sox? Did Mookie ever sign an extension in Boston? Can Roman bowl 300? Does he have a song named after him by A-Bliccy? Can he host a podcast and play shortstop in Hollywood at the same time? Will Anthony ever be traded for Connor Wong???

    Yahoo really likes this signing. Their reporter said it was similar to the contract for Triston Campbell.

    You -- you articulated this so well... Sam Kennedy just said that by October, the veteran moderators on talksox should be better than no matter how many new posters the forum recruits. MVP for GM!! The other 8,000 members for Asst. VPs!!!!!!!!!

    This is the kind of post that risks criticism from those that need cold hard data to quantify meaning. Good job.
  9. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Nope. There was no "that's gonna be Ball 4" -- after a walk, or "they're gonna take the lead" -- after the go-ahead run scores, or "he's going to be sick" -- after I throw up.

    Garcia is a good outfielder with right-handed power. As much as we like the current outfield crew, it makes more sense to give the Password the opportunity to become part of the core of Boston's next sustained contenders.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    All these defensive comparisons started 60 years ago with the standard model, Brooks Robinson. His nickname was "Hoover."

    NESN team of Emma and Alanna announcing tonight's game... hope they keep in present-tense. No OB "He's gonna walk him," after Ball Four has already been called. He's gonna listen to announcers calling a game in real time.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Maybe, but a $16 dollar beer anywhere is nothing to joke about.
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's drafting too many shortstops. We need to draft more third basemen, so they can convert to first basemen. Happens all the time in the majors (well, almost)...
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Tolle -- he'll be groomed as a reliever for the stretch run.
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    "And we took all the resources that the organization provides us, and we added... Kiké Hernandez... Hunter Renfroe... Adam Ottavino... Garrett Richards. We did all those things." said Chaim, to fans at Winter Weekend. It's like a list of Russian students who went hiking at a place literally called Dead Mountain and were never seen alive again.
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Not true -- Alcala still has the option not to throw pitches into the damn backstop. He's tied for the bullpen lead in wild pitches with 3 in 16 IP, but the other relievers have pitched two or three times as many innings.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Cora's too busy asking himself will Bailey Falter ordering Dustin May to throw more sweepers.
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The Password is on the 40, so he could still be brought up in case of an outfield injury. From all evals, including old eyeballs, he's at least a better defender than Yoshida. And now Notin will reply, "So is my golden retriever" and I will counter, "Even my rescue border collie/hound mix that somebody in Arkansas said was half husky, just so dog peeps from Connecticut would adopt him, even though we all know there are no huskies down there. But he catch a lacrosse ball on a bounce."
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Seattle is so sexy. The M's have the Big Dumper and a solid rotation, and also have JRod -- who everybody loves with the same amount of homers as Abreu! They also just bulked up their offense by trading for two guys who anchored the batting order of a team below .500.
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Breslow is already talking up Sandlin. Why can't these fresh arms replace some of those that will be burnt out when rosters expand in September (or is that now-limited number not enough room)? I'm not talking high-leverage guys like Chapman, Whitlock, Weissert, Wilson -- or maybe Matz -- but all the interchangeables. Can Slaten return and not get sore again?
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's possible Early gets some spot starts in September, with Sandlin used in multi-roles of starting and relieving. Payton's place is in the bullpen for the fall. His rise could be similar to Calvin Schiraldi in 1986. Schiraldi was a starter in the minors before Boston acquired him for that season and converted him to closer. He was called up for the stretch run and made an immediate impact -- most on the positive side (despite what he's remembered for, at the end of the World Series).
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Now we know the rest of the Story: healthy Trevor is a prime-time shortstop who has been solid if not spectacular in big game moments all season. His glove never fans on grounders in the clutch, even when hit at him like low and outside sweepers.
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    How dare Alex Cora play ballplayers from international origins and cultures, and shame the names of Boston racists like owner Tom Yawkey and his GM Joe Cronin -- who refused to let their scouts sign all-time greats like Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays to contracts, and doom the Red Sox to AL basement regions for two decades... before the last MLB team to integrate finally recruited enough blacks and Latinos to help win a pennant in 1967. Good thing Manager Dick Williams from St. Louis, Missouri, was biased enough to regularly include the likes of George Scott, Reggie Smith, Joe Foy, Elston Howard, Jose Tartabull, John Wyatt and Jose Santiago to help make the Impossible Dream come true.

    If Story didn't have huge power numbers in Colorado, and the Sox didn't pay him elite money, expectations in Boston would obviously be more sober. Finally healthy this year, he has more home runs than any shortstop in the league. But for an above-average shortstop, Story's swing-and-miss at the plate is still below average for a SS: AL: Story 18 HR, 126 K; Volpe 17, 104; Witt 16, 93; Neto 15, 102; Seager 15, 71. NL: Lindor 20 HR, 94 K, De La Cruz 19, 117; Adames 17, 120; Swanson 16, 125
