    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Looks like Bello should be back to make his next start…..? So assuming no injuries the rotation will be Crawford, Pivetta, Houck, Bello and Criswell. Very solid. Haven’t heard anything back on Whitlock for a few days but probably a month. If Criswell is still pitching… well…. I really hope...

    5/8: Sale Day takes on a new meaning

    Chris Sale doesn’t know me but thinks I’d be pretty cool to hang out with. He’d be wrong.

    I wouldn't worry about the errors as much as his range (which is still very context based and don't think defensive stats can really capture that), so I'd trust more scouting for now.

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Would the rules in XI started last season have any affect on it? Teams with good base runners may also have an advantage?

    From the fire to the frying pan

    He’s an asshole. Chipper was just a turd. Fuck it! I just decided now to put Glavine and Maddox into the turd bucket too! Fuck them! Fuck Chris Sale and fuck the Braves

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I also asked in the mL forums but can't find anything- what the hell is up with Mata? Wasn't he expected to start in AAA at the end of last week?

    From the fire to the frying pan

    As much as I loved Glavine and Maddox, I loathed Chipper Jones and especially that awful sack of shit Rocker (although glad he inspired Eastbound and Down). I just hated that team since the mid 90's and nothing will change that...... except maybe if I find myself in the unfortunate situation of...

    2024 Worcester Red Sox (AAA)

    What's his defense like? I honestly don't know much about him, but he came up as a 2B but has moved to 3B, right? Any 1B appearances? Would really love to have a future utility superstar combo of Rafaela and Meidroth (this is in the very unlikely chance that Bleis and Anthony both move up to...

    2024 Worcester Red Sox (AAA)

    Anyone else getting Strong Youk vibes from Meidroth? Guy was just underrated (other than his whole BB rate thing)..... didn't look "athletic" but the Sox got some great borderline MVP years out of him Edit-- Also, initially stopped by here to ask for any updates on Mata....

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    He's still listed as a SS on Sox Prospects. It wasn't too long ago IIRC when he was in their top ten lists. I know he had a down season but he's really hitting the snot out of everything. What's your take on him now? Slightly old for AA, but not too much, right?

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    You guys need to put away the bullshit. You're both top quality posters but this is childish crap.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Casas is a weird example, but I understand what you're saying. This is likely Cedanne's floor. Casas always had elite plate discipline, pitch recognition and approach and it was only a matter of time. I get the concern about Rafaela in that he's never been a hitter like Casas so his offensive...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I don't get it..... aggresive hitters aren't going to magically learn to lay off incredibly hittable stuff in AAA and just get walks suddenly. Why would they? You can see that Rafaela has been hitting the ball better, swinging better and taking a better approach just over the past few weeks...
