Who knows our organization could have great for decades of Hang’em Chaim had the full five years to enact his plan!
-
I got Bleis on my untouchable list. Drohan is an intriguing guy. In the first half of the year, his control was decent and he got his pitches over the plate. In the second half, his command and control fell apart. Does he regain his control in 2024???? If his command and control return, he could be effective in the bullpen for us.
-
Bonaci and rosier are two under the radar guys that I really like. Good bat to ball skills and short to the ball! Both got speed to burn.
-
Maybe Perales is having a bad day every time I see him pitch, because his stuff looks very ordinary when I see him pitch
-
The Japanese site lists inamgea as a left handed starter. They list matsui as the lefty reliever. These are the two guys I think we need to sign!!!!! Along with snell
-
Because Rafeala is going to be the better defensive center fielder. Not at Bradley’s level, but above average. I got abreau in right field because I think abreau is faster and I think abreau has a better arm! Anthony should be an elite defender in left.
-
Even after graduating a half dozen guys in 2022-2023, we are stacked with high quality hitters still in our farm system. But we only have 2 starting pitchers with plus stuff. Winkleman and montgero. I think Rafeala, abreau and maybe Valdez and troye could start 2024 in Boston. By the end of 2024, Anthony should own left field. For all of his other issues, Hang’em Chaim has the development side of the organization humming nicely
-
Something else to consider! Desperate Dave had run off almost the entire analytics department and Hang’em Chaim literally had to rebuild that entire department from scratch. I think when he took over, everybody acknowledged that we were light years behind most other teams thanks to desperate Dave. Under Hang’em Chaim’s reign of terror, our baseball analytics department is world class now. At the end of the day, Hang’em Chaim had all the information necessary to sign guys and make trades. I think the biggest problem for Hang’em Chaim was first, that he is very rigid and overpriced his assets. And secondly, he undervalued pitching for some strange reason. Hang’em Chaim is best when being a number 2 guy in an organization, someone with more personality and some flexibility should be in charge.

Risk vs. reward. I think he has pitched pretty good so far in late 2023. We could always sign wacha as insurance in case ryu does not return to form
-
I would be happy if we signed ryu, snell and inenaga (lefty reliever Japan) this offseason. Maybe bring back duvall.
-
In the last two seasons, we introduced several solid homegrown prospects into the Boston lineup. Clearly cassas and Bello are the most talented. I think Valdez could stick in Boston in April. Troye could stick if he has a great spring training. By the end of next year (barring any trades) yorke, Anthony, winkleman, teel, Jordan, gambrell, rosier, and scott are all going to be deserving as well
-
We have 80 million dollars to spend this offseason. Why can’t we sign 3 starters and a lhrp?
-
I have seen a lot of hitters come through the Red Sox minor league facility, but none like him! I would love to see him in arizona next month
-
I thought pivetta was pretty effective once he moved to the bullpen.
-
Spell check strikes again
-
Any trade involving Miami will cost a package headlined by either verdugo or cassas depending on the quality of pitcher we trade for.
-
This is a perfectly acceptable plan. I do think rosier could actually contribute in 2024. Dude makes lots of contact and has speed to burn
-
Do we bring hazel in to be cbo
-
Is story adequate enough defensively to stay at short stop? I tend to think he has lost a step or three and has a pop gun arm! I think could be better defensively at 2nd base for us.
-
Was mata a Hang’em Chaim guy????
-
I think if they both have a good spring training, they deserve to stay in Boston. Abreau has excellent on base potential. And Rafeala, has tremendous potential to be a difference maker in center field
-
If winkleman’s command and control improve even slightly, then he should be in Boston by September 2024! Kavadas’s swing is so long, and he struggles to pick up the spin on the ball. it is hard to see him ever getting an at bat in Boston.
-
I think abreau and Rafeala have earned a shot at Boston in spring training. Duran is such a defensive liability that it is hard to see him playing regularly.
-
Can we move story to second base and sign a really good defensive short stop???? Our infielder leaks more than a 60 year old prostitute
-
If Hang’em Chaim is still here. Then we would have shota starting!!! But if he is a lefty reliever, then let’s sign as soon as possible. We sign snell as one starter for next year. For a second starter, I think we look to Miami and a possible trade situation.
