Rafeala has to play center field full time. Dude is amazing
-
Anthony is hitting breaking balls much better now than at the beginning of the year. He could have the sweetest swing of any prospect in the Red Sox minor league system.
-
We lack quality depth and that is Cora’s biggest concern for the rest of 2024. Houk and crawford are approaching their max innings and their stuff is getting soft and lacking bite. Paxton is throwing batting practice. These next two months are a lot of 7-5 and 9-8 games
-
Watched Sandlin throw yesterday. His stuff is good! Big league good! He threw a lot of meatballs and was lucky the hitters fouled them! He cleans up the meatballs and his stuff is legit
-
The lack of depth has been exposed
-
Why??? He is beyond terrible
-
I think teel is Boston ready now with the bat! The defense is already better than wong’s! 2025 should be wong and teel behind the plate.
-
I agree! Duran had a pop gun for an arm. He only works in left field. I think Anthony and rafeala can play center or right field. Abreau has huge upside to be the best bat in the outfield! The problem is 3 of the 4 bat lefty! Anthony is finally starting to figure out breaking balls in Portland. He looks closer to Boston ready every day
-
I thought after the first inning his stuff was pretty good. His stuff will never be winklenan good, but it is not bad either! Without command and control, he was serving up meatballs in the first inning.
-
In the third inning yesterday, the announcers said he was throwing a lot of sliders (which looked like clurves to me) maybe that was intentional and part of his injury recovery???? The sliders generated loud contact
-
Valdez 5 for 5, but he also threw the ball away twice! Early struggled to find his command in the first inning, then he figured it out and looked really good after that. Penrod was cruising and then ran out of gas in the third I think.
-
I think for 2025, we have to give rafeala a permanent home in center field. An outfield of Duran - rafeala - abreau and refsynder should be decent offensively and defensively
-
At the end of the year, we have 8 free agents Jansen (catcher) - replace by gasper or teel O’Neil (outfielder) - replace by Anthony???? Pivetta (starter) - replace by gioletta Paxton (starter) - replace by prieter????? Jansen (closer) - replace by Hendricks Martin (set up) - replace by slaten Sims (reliever) - replace by fulmer or free agent Garcia (reliever ) - replace by luetge????
-
McDonough called up to Worcester!
-
Mayer left after striking out today. Hope he did not aggravate whatever kept him out of the lineup earlier last week
-
Portes was a top 30 prospect and Yeferson might have developed into something
-
Do we need another reliever in case Bailey cannot gets sims fixed????
-
Can bres-slow find another preister for meidroth and lugo???
-
I think bres-slow needs a couple more trades for more prester types
-
New York sports radio guy says tailion is down to Yankees and us!
-
I finally got to see Sandlin pitch and I was impressed with the raw stuff, but concerned about the command. Fitts can be throwing 93-94 in one outing but only 90-91 in the next outing. Not sure why, but don’t those guys develop sore forearms after a few months of yo-yo velocity????
-
We need to trade for some cost controlled relievers from triple A or double A. Either stud relievers or starters that we can convert to stud relievers. We need to build up our depth because we have none now
-
Does fitts have any real value???
-
I think cambell’s value peaks this off season. Can we package him and a few other prospects for a young Miami starter that has struggled this year???
-
Bres-slow making hang’em Chaim look like a deadline master trader!!!!
