    Lineup Predictions

    Incidentally, this ten-game winning streak has propelled them from fourth place all the way to … fourth place. Just May and all that, but that’s still got to be frustrating for them.

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    Maybe I wasn’t clear when I said that, because I meant guys currently on the 40man like Hamilton and Romy are the fungible ones and not someone like Meidroth. I don’t think I’d worry too much about DFAing Hamilton or Romy later down the road in the scenario where they need an extra emergency...

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I think I have learned that I view more of those back-end-of-the-roster guys as fungible than the general consensus (and the organization), and that is where the disconnect is occurring.

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    But why would you want to take them off the 40 in any scenario?

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    I feel like I'm missing something. Why couldn't they just option them to Worcester? EDIT: and then DFA someone else instead once the IL'd players get activated? If this is Grissom's roster spot, what was the plan if he was well enough to play yesterday?

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    Huh. Wonder why they didn't just bring up Meidroth or Sogard if they were feeling antsy about the infield depth? I don't think an AB shortage is a concern at this point, and I don't think either is good enough to be worth worrying about service time considerations and all of that.

    March/April MLB News and Notes

    It’s a weirdly unpopular opinion around here, but I’d probably still take him on the Red Sox. Even with the new knee injury!

    Sox to trade for Garrett Cooper, Pablo Reyes DFA’d

    Yep, this might be overstating things, but I think you could make an argument that he's already an upgrade in the utility IF spot over Hamilton, Lopez, Romy, et al. I guess you don't want to pigeonhole someone into that role early in their career, but that's how they're playing him in Worcester...

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    If K-rate really does stabilize at 60 PA, then Yorke has made some dramatic improvements. Maybe to be expected since he’s been at AA a while, but still, it might be time for him to start familiarizing himself with the Worcester area…

    Most of the way through April, and, as we all predicted, the AL Central would send three teams to the playoffs if the season ended today - Cleveland, KC, and Detroit. Now, I bet some of you are thinking "well, they're getting fat off the White Sox' misfortunes," and it's true that the Royals...

    2024 White Sox: Sheets & Giggles

    Right, their best hope is that these guys get healthy enough that they regain some trade value. But would anyone really give up much of anything to rent Moncada (whose option almost certainly won't get picked up unless he has a dramatic turnaround in the second half) or Jimenez? Robert at least...

    The Tommy John Epidemic

    One thing I was wondering about regarding this was if we’d start seeing teams be more aggressive in promoting their high-upside pitching prospects. Why have them waste bullets in the minors?

    And they have the (way too early) RoY front runner this year, too, I assume he gets them another pick. He was up before Holliday.

    Which Current MLBers Will Be In the Hall of Fame?

    Believe it or not, with 4-5 more normal, healthy-ish years, he probably gets to 3000 Ks, which is still one of those numbers that gets people in.

    Get well soon, Luis Robert... (so you can get traded to a better team)
