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

    I'm sorry to have taken us off on a tangent about "just money." If the Sox don’t want to risk Cooper clearing the 7 days and electing to be a free agent (as I believe he can since he has more than 3 years service time, my G-d these rules are Byzantine), then yes, he could require a low-level...

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

    It's actually 7 days now. And I'm aware. Yes, if they want him before that window it won't technically be "just money" but it also won't be Teel or Anthony we're shipping off.

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

    Glad you got to go in Pittsburgh! What a gorgeous stadium that is. Anyway, I think there's a number of people on the Board who feel this way and I... just don't get it. The goal of a professional sports team is to win as many games as possible, right? Obviously this isn't possible, but every...

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

    Also interested in this. One of the best articles I could find unfortunately was a Pinstripe Alley post when Judge had a stress fractured rib in 2020 Spring Training (so obviously no clear timeline established there because of that whole global pandemic thing). Still, the article references a...

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

    As @moondog80 says, I don't think we can just take the highest of the projections and expect that. Dalbec will almost certainly be better than one of the worst stretches in recent MLB history (I assume?), but as those stats show, his last two seasons he's had a wRC+ of 79 and 51. His high...

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    No doubt he looks like Mr. Wonderful in some of these videos. And I barely know what I’m taking about, but watching the video of his throwing session… I worry he’s a bit of a mirage. Pro scouting is over my head, but I used to be a catcher into college and… kid has incredible stuff but his...

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

    1) Well, all the more reason to act now? A month seems too long -- JD Martinez, also signed as a free agent who missed Spring Training by the Mets, was on his way to the majors in roughly 2 weeks before he hurt his back, right? And we're saying 2 months for Casas, but the reality is it could be...

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

    I've seen that, and Choi's not bad vs RHP, but are there other interesting names? More to the point, are any of them likely to approach Belt's .900 OPS vs RHP?

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

    Agreed, we'll probably learn more when Cora talks to the reporters pregame today, which I think is usually around 4pm? This is fair in the short term, but as we know Refsnyder has a career .222/.298/.319 slash vs. RHP. Again, in the short-term, he and Dalbec are warm bodies who can field the...

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    Hahaha. Turang's little smile kills me. This is like when the Braves finally let Spencer Strider start in 2022. Just absolute filth that makes pro hitters look silly.

    My god. He just took Turang's soul and his ankles on that slider. That was hysterical. I'm sure the replay will make the rounds for a long time on social media. Turang was expecting a 100mph fastball... and instead he got a slider that fell off the end of the planet and he tried to bend out of...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I think that's right. And I know it's a bit of a chicken & egg problem when you break things down further, but for example I note that clearly great WR picks in Waddle and Chase also have good QBs both also taken in the Top 5 in Tua and Burrow who can throw them the ball. Meanwhile Garrett...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    This is exactly how I feel. To continue the tangent, look at the WRs picked in the Top 10 in the past ~decade: Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chase, Waddle, Devonta Smith, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, John Ross, Amari Cooper, Kevin White, Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans. This isn't necessarily the...

    March/April MLB News and Notes

    I did a double take when I checked the standings and saw they're 7-16, 4th worst in MLB! That's wild. Still, with Verlander back and the Mariners and Rangers treading water, I fully expect the Astros to be in the thick of things in July, but there's always a chance this is just one of "those...

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

    In the truest of senses, it’s hard to even believe. The entire starting infield (1B, 2B, SS, 3B), a starting OF, and 3/5 starting pitchers injured. And it’s April 20th.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Interesting, good to know. So in other words, if Maye goes #2 would you advocate trading back and accumulating picks/players? I'm also interested in your Daniels take. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding, but if Hurts is a comparison, that still seems pretty good? I know the Eagles built a great...

    SS possibilities going forward

    I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, I’m genuinely asking: how many games have these Sox lost since Story went down that they seemingly would have won with an average to above-average defensive SS?

    I know one injury to Story can't explain everything but right now it just feels like so many guys on this roster I don't want them to hit it to.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    The Rays get all the attention of being the smart, scrappy, small market team, and although the Rays are in a tougher Division (certainly competing against teams with more resources) the Guardians have been impressive as well. Since 2016 both have won 90+ games 5 times and made the playoffs 5...

    Right, I believe they wear the BOSTON white uniforms that they wore for the "This is our efing city" game in 2013 as a tribute on Marathon Monday, and the City Connects on F/Sa/Su beforehand. PS UUUGHHHhhhhh. Statcast says xBA of .750 on that Devers out. Very cool.
