350 out of pedrioa would be a win. 180 out of sale would be fantastic. Let’s hope that shoulder is up to the task! In an average year, how many players do we put on the 60 dL? I think we should factor that, without knowing the specific players, in this year as well.
-
Just the fact that he is on the field healthy and playing and hitting well, regardless of the pitcher is a win for the organization. Injuries are a fact of life over a 162 game season. I’m hoping we don’t need him this year, but if we do, it’s nice to know he is ready willing and able to contribute!
-
He pitched the other day and his stuff was not bad. This would be interesting if it happens, I always thought our saves leader is the guy pitching for San Diego right now. Where we send chavis and two prospects to San Diego for him.
-
I don’t think ped’s Has anything to do with chavis’s spring success, I think it had more to do with him squaring up mistake pitches.
-
I know pitchers like to work on certain things during spring training, but Thornburg should probably work on not throwing so many meatballs and having average stuff.
-
Buchholz signing with the jays is a bit sad. I always thought he would wind his way back to us. Preferably as a closer. Fortunately we have feltman, Hernandez and lakins on the way for the bullpen. Unfortunately we have an empty cupboard for position players and starting pitching in the high minors.
-
Watched lakins pitch twice this spring. I like the stuff, control needs some work though. Ps: has brewer been sent to Pawtucket yet?
-
What would a Betts extension be?

If sale’s shoulder is right, we need to place signing sale (this offseason) as the priority and be prepared to let Betts walk next offseason. -
I think chavis’s early success has gotten into his head. Lately he has been lunging at pitches and swinging at breaking stuff outside the zone. He needs to calm down, clear the head and get a bit more selective again.
-
I’ve been noticing how selective dalbec is at the plate. Another couple of walks today. His swing is really long but at least he is not hacking at stuff out of the strike zone.
-
The cool aid acid test for him comes when they start pitching him inside consistently. His lack of courage will alter his swing and mess up his timing and the next thing you know, it is a two month trip to slumpsville!
-
Watching brewer throw is a form of torture. When his control is on, he is decent. When his control is off, he is a train wreck. We need to keep chavis at Pawtucket this year. If he has a good year, we can bring him up next year after Moreland, Pearce and Nunez move on.
-
Oscar hernandez had a terribly mechanical swing. If he gets s base hit, it will be more luck than skill,
-
#55 pitching for the Yankees has some really nice stuff. Control looks a bit spotty.

So sad! Rest In Peace, you will be missed! -
1.) that is a lot of cheese for sale. The Sox do know that his shoulder is held together with duct tape and chewing gum, right? 2.) why is bogey being resigned?
-
I still believe Larry was 100 percent responsible for us signing sandavol and Hanley. But i believe it was Ben who drew the line in the sand on paying Lester. Henry is admitting he should not have listened to Ben. I do not know who is holding the leash on desperate Dave, but someone is keeping him from signing kimbrel.
-
We could get swihart more playing time by trading Vazquez, hernandez dalbec and chavis to Texas for Lequerc. Positives: Solves our closer hole and opens up playing time for swihart. Negatives: our starting pitchers will be depressed!
-
It is really hard to get into sync at the plate unless you see pitches regularly. Not impossible, just harder.
-
Agreed. My goal this spring is to watch pedrioa and sale extra closely and see if there are red flags.
-
Watched the video of pedrioa taking batting practice today. I was not as concerned about timing and squaring up pitches as I was how much torque he put on the knee. Bottom line: he is not 100 percent, the step and turn are still mechanical, but light years ahead of last year.
-
Our pitchers appear to love throwing to Vazquez and Leon. Why mess with a pitchers head? We already have substandard defense in most of the infield, why put swihart behind the dish and make that a defensive black hole as well? A happy pitcher is a good thing for our team.
-
Do you get the feeling kimbrel wants to come back and his agent is trying to squeeze a few more dollars and years out of desperate Dave?

Media says pedrioa looked pretty good taking grounders. Maybe his knee can hold up and we get 100 or so games out of him. Can’t wait to see if the bat returns.
