    What to do with Yoshida?

    Defensively that’s a major downgrade. Keeping Yoshida out of the field with Abreu, Duran and O’Neill seems optimal on both sides of the ball. I do think Refsnyder should be tried out at 1B and even against RHP, his overall performance should be more valuable than Dalbec even with Bobby’s...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Last season when the cavalry was on the way the team collapsed.

    Wilyer Abreu to be called up

    I figured that's what you meant, and even though Yoshida started to look better after his apparent benching for whatever reason/combination of reasons... .he's pretty much parked there. I hope he gets hot enough that the team can figure out how to trade him.... BUT... with Story clearly out for...

    Wilyer Abreu to be called up

    Why? Abreu has looked pretty damned good in RF and has a great arm. Whatever the mix, Duran not in RF but Oneill, Abreu and Duran is a good OF. I still want Refsnyder at 1B. Yoshida WILL be the regular DH at some point again?

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    It might also be really hard to sell these guys on the idea that they’re basically keeping a seat warm. Teams like Houston would be much more desirable

    The Amazing Criswell?

    YES!!!!

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Must be something in the Charles? Basically beaten by RSF

    The Amazing Criswell?

    And now I just want to chime in that I'm sick AF seeing Dalbec. Put F'in Refsnyder at 1B. Why the fuck is Yoshida still in his now 5th day off after finally getting hot. (The answer is Devers on this... just frustrating)

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Well... again, Giolito and Pivetta were considered "horses". Not disagreeing with you but maybe Bailey would have broken Montgomery's shoulder too?

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    They should just do Houck and Crawford now for the Fuck of it

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Don't get me wrong.... I'd rather have Montgomery starting and Whitlock would, I'd bet, still be throwing pitches from the bullpen. So far though, the trust that Bailey/Breslow has shown towards the "young" pitchers is paying off. The two guys who are injured were considered work horses and...

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Was Criswell really the 9th option back in Spring Training? Assuming the Sox were never interested in anyone after they got Giolito (and generally seems they were correct at this point.... in a way..... The projected rotation was Giolito, Bello, Pivetta, Crawford, Houck (?) with Whitlock as the...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    If Devers can take the field, the lineup every day should be- Duran CF Oneill LF Devers 3B Abreu RF Yoshida DH Refsnyder 1B Valdez 2B/Grissom Wong/Mcguire C Rafaela SS PERIOD. This lineup should be able to score enough to score enough to get some wins enough that even if nothing happens...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Game thread but Valdez IS a guy that needs AAA time (I still don’t think Rafaela is though). There’s a difference between struggling and looking overwhelmed- Cedanne is the former, Valdez the latter.

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Maybe he got into some spat with Cora. I know I would.
