Miles better? Judge might not hold up in CF, but it’s not that bad either.
-
I didn’t know Cora had announced any lineup yet. The is pure speculation that doesn’t turn out right very often. That’s why I’ll wait, and see who takes the field on March 28th.
-
The biggest problem the last two years has been the infield D, and not the outfield D. I’m not so sure about Abreu in RF either. Dugy was more than adequate out there last year. Raf Man isn’t guaranteed to start in CF either.
-
Yes I am, but I’m just saying if the SP, and D aren’t any better I can’t see the team getting any better. Unless Raffy, and Casas gets better on D, and Story stays healthy at SS then it all comes down to SP.
-
Yanks got Soto, and Dugy will help them too. Rays lost Glasgow, but they always manage to come up with pitching. The O’s signed Kimbrel, but I don’t know how much help he will be. What the Red will do as they stand now, or what they will look like on March 28 is anyone’s guess, but outside of the SP, and D getting better I can’t see the Sox getting any better.
-
Most of these guys worked out. The Red Sox don’t have that good a track record the last few years.
-
It didn’t work last year for SD, and the Mets, so 1 out of 3 isn’t all that good.
-
The Red Sox have picked, and choose who to offer the most money to like Yoshida. The state of the Red Sox had more to do why so many declined to be interviewed for the HOBO job. Still a ways to go till March 28, but I think JH has a pretty TIGHT grip on that checkbook.
-
Super teams yes. Like I’ve said before that I hope the Dodgers go 162-0, and then lose in the first round of the playoffs.
-
If JH opened up his checkbook real wide, and offered the same amount of money to the Big O, or the Yam Man, the two most likely would have gone to LA. I’m not saying it’s not money, but what I’m saying is the money could be all the same, and I think the good players would take NY, and La over Boston.
-
Some have come to Boston, because of the money like Yoshida, Story, Price, and probably Gio, but the good ones today are getting many suitors, and get to pick, and choose where they want to go, and the money is all near the same.
-
The good ones will get significant playing time no matter where they go.
-
If the Red Sox could field a team of interest they would have a vastly improved team. Unfortunately claiming to to be interested in a player doesn’t land them. Good for conversation though.
-
No! He just saying what I’ve been asking. What’s the lure of playing in Boston?
-
Teoscar to the Dodgers. Another one got away. 1yr $23.5M.
-
I’ve been clamoring for both to stay in the BP the last two years. They were cheap options for the starting rotation.
-
🙈🤭🤮!
-
Bloom probably didn’t tell Cora to keep Kike at SS either.
-
Schwaber got a standing O for making a routine play. Better than Franchy, but not a 1B.
-
The lack of defenders who can field is kind of like having to play the bad cards you were dealt. Players playing out of positions is just bad roster building.
-
Well said. Like I’ve been saying since the FA season started. The hype on starting pitching seems to be, because they are available, and teams are in need more so than the pitches are really that good, and that is driving up the price.
-
Who would have thunk it?
-
While you keep dreaming abut the future anywhere from now until 2026, or beyond the most important here, and now just keeps passing by. What a waste, because you’ll never get it back.🙈
-
The team core should have been Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy, and pieces should have been added to that. None of the so called future now may never add up to these three.
-
This I pretty much agree with. Yes Snell has won two CY. Somebody has to win them, but in between his two CY he hasn’t been all that great. Monty finished 2nd in CY voting, and someone has to do that too. Monty is more sought after now, because he had a good stretch at the end of the season, and into the postseason, and now he’s available. He wasn’t as highly thought of up until then. I have said before both Snell, and Monty would help the Red Sox, but it’s just a question are the worth the length, and cost . I don’t label pitchers, so I don’t get into Ace, or #1 talk. Snell, and Monty are the best available, but that doesn’t mean they are as good as the hype, or what hey will end up with for a contract.
