  1. With sale and Paxton gone, what are the trainers going to be doing this spring? Catching up on sleep?
  2. Ball???
  3. Maybe Peaz takes a leap this year, but his ceiling is bullpen arm to me.
  4. I have been lucky enough to see A Castro and Brannon live. I like both as hitters and think they have above bat to ball skills. (Keep in mind, small sample size) I did not see anything that makes me think they are above average defensively (again small sample size) A Castro is more of a line drive hitter. Brannon has some power, but is injured more than Chris sale.
  5. If the budget is indeed 200 million, then we have a little tiny bit more to cut. This means trades are needed. Is bres-slow waiting for spring training injuries on other teams to unclog our outfield and find a starter or two?
  6. Cora’s final season!!!
  7. By July, we could be 20 games out of playoff contention. What assets do we have that we could get some value on the trade market? Jansen? Martin? O’Neil? Pivetta? Gioletta? Brez-slow could have a long year ahead of him!
  8. Story’s 2023 defense was better then average????
  9. Defensively: Catcher - Wong and McGuire - maybe just below average to average at best! 1st base - cassas - at best dumpster fire. 2nd base - Grissom - impossible to know. But best case could be average SS - story - maybe average to a little better than average. 3rd base - devers - dumpster fire LF - Duran - dumpster fire bring marshmallows. CF - rafeala - best guess is average to above average RF - abreau - best guess is average. Our starting pitching is a massive dumpster fire, if our defense gives teams extra outs, we are battling for the first pick in the draft!!!!!!!!
  10. So the payroll sits at about 201 million right now. Some people think the max budget is 200 million. Is they are correct, then this is our team for 2024!
  11. Bres-slow will look like a genius if he lasts to the end of his current contract!!!!!
  12. Current Red Sox roster = 4 out of 5 on the dumpster fire scale!
  13. Current Red Sox roster = 70 wins
  14. I hope we get clevinger! But I also want ryu, if his meficals check out. I think he is primed for a bounce back year
  15. Our 24 team would be decent if we had solid #1 and #2 starters.
  16. It was reported bres-slow was shopping for starting pitching at wal-mart this weekend.
  17. Gonzalez on the mound on Portland should be exciting
  18. Looking at the projected roster for Portland and it looks like a very exciting hitting lineup!!! Plus a little intriguing pitching
  19. Can you really “press” a lever??? Is that possible??
  20. We have a surplus of DH/poor defensive players. Might as well move one or two for pitchers.
  21. I would take this deal all day and I would even throw in 10 million of Jansen.
  22. Does Miami need both a closer and a DH? That could be the start of a monster trade for a decent starting pitcher
  23. Does bres-slow adopt the same strategy as the rays going forward?????
  24. After the tragedy with the catcher. We seem to have shifted strategy and gone from pursuing one highly ranked signing and a couple lower ranked signings to a bunch of lower ranked signings
  25. Bladoff = Ben blader. Had a typo
