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

    You mean that the games are not played on paper? Who knew!

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Thanks for the take. Numbers don't tell the whole story and can be just as subjective as the eye test. Personally, I prefer the eye test, but I understand why others rely more on numbers alone.

    LOL!

    Bailey acquires Bailey... Potential bullpen depth Bailey Horn

    I've never heard it. I guess I've lived a sheltered life.

    Jeter...Jeter...Where have I heard that name?

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    Both of them have the potential to move elsewhere, a la Craig Biggio.

    ...and any attempt to credit Dombrowski for drafting those guys must be weighed against the consideration that he wished to continue his spend both money and prospects to "win now." The blind squirrel may be able to find the nut, but it takes a watchful squirrel not to lose it to one of his fellows.

    To err is human; three errors is the Red Sox: the defense thread.

    I don't know/care how DRS are calculated, but I can tell you, as a former high school 1B, that Casas excels at scooping up low/short hop throws and saving throwing errors.

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    True, we don't know what his defense will look like at 2B. If he is an average defender there, then I like him as a bat-first 2B. And, yeah, I'm projecting that his hitting remains solid. I'm not that impressed with Meidroth or Yorke. Maybe there's better value in a trade. We'll see.

    If Grissom doesn't pan out, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox move Wong to 2B if/when Teel is ready to assume full-time catching duties.

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    I don't think that $150M is going to get it done. In any case, I hope to see him in Boston for the rest of his career.

    How's Boras Doing This Off-Season?

    If Boras' style does render him obsolete, so much the better for baseball!

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Well, that's the thing, though. We haven't seen a lot of swings yet*. Guys can take time to develop (Pedroia, Casas), while others never get it (Middlebrooks, Dalbec). It's way too early to make a judgment on how good of a hitter he's going to be. Personally, I like the way he turns on inside...

    SS possibilities going forward

    Yeah, Hamilton is very quickly proving the Red Sox wrong. Who knows if Romy can be the guy, but he's the next man up. The Sox are very quickly running out of options.
