Isn’t tiara 5’7” tall?? That is not really a bres-slow type pitcher!!!

I agree! Atlanta also needed a short stop, we might have been able to package in story if he didn’t hurt !!

Do the Sox non tender him???

So who the right handed starter on bres-slow’s to do list??

Are we buying into the media’s idea that a power hitter is the panacea for our team?? are we not learning anything from watching the brewers?? pitching, defense and timely hitting seems to be a tried and true formula for success But perhaps even more important is health!!

The current 2 deep offensive depth chart clearly shows holes that need to be addressed. I think bres-slow approaches it the same way he did with pitching! Stash guys in Worcester and the DL.

Every team has injuries. That’s the nature of the sport. and while bres-slow did a fantastic job of building pitching depth, and allowing us to overcome a vast multitude of pitching injuries to make the playoffs, there is much more work to be done on offensive depth. The biggest obstacle to building offensive depth is the situation with Anthony! and that encompasses 2 aspects! 1.) and what is the deal with Roman Anthony and his finger injury. Not seen anything quite like this. 2.) and then what is the leftover residue is there from the navarez girlfriend/wife and Anthony??? Very weird to see management being sex police and sending a player to Florida to rehab!!! And does Anthony’s involvement in that whole messy affair, which essentially fractured the clubhouse last season, have any significance next season or whenever baseball resumes.

Not too long ago, the Red Sox infield was a major defensive dumpster fire and we led the American League in errors every year!! Time to give bres-slow some props. It looks like we are improving these past two years

I am starting to think Gonzales is Kristian Campbell part 2. just throw him a sinker and he has zero chance ! I think delzine has some of the best raw stuff in the system. Not quite in the Valera stratosphere as far as stuff goes, but still better than anybody else in the system by far! where delzine outshines even Valera is the lack of stress in his delivery and better control at this stage of development. we will not know who delzine is as a pitcher until late next season, but I would not be surprised if he is in Portland by the end of next season!! The command and control are almost there and i think the stuff plays up as he grows into his frame

Watched judice pitch this year after he returned from injury. Unsure the stuff is that great because he was all over the white part of the plate with his pitches and got slapped around a good bit

Are the owners still wanting to do away with drafting high schoolers??

Time will have to decide as primera and delzine are only talented teenagers

Gray’s strikeouts per 9 innings dropped below 8 this year: his fip was 3.47 which means the defense bailed him out a good bit this year! not sure that bres-slow sees value in a short pitcher with those type numbers!!! I would love to have gray back, but we have a data driven management team that sees things differently! I think Tolle and Bennett have dead arm next season due to the massive innings spike they experienced in 2026. (See crochet and Crawford for examples) a rotation of : 1.) crochet 2.) suarez 3.) Houck 4.) bello 5.) Oviedo Depth: paez and Crawford! For 2027 is scary!!! therefore; we need another starter. ps: need to go balls out to sign moorjon, best stuff of the relievers available

In my opinion, our top 3 prospects are: 1.) Franklin A 2.) Franklin P 3.) delzine none of them were drafted, but I would put our top 3 against any top 3 from any other team!!

I think Brannon kept getting dinged up at catcher and they moved him to 1st to keep his bat in the lineup!
