    The Amazing Criswell?

    Was that as bad as Gameday made it look

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Thinking back on the folks who wanted to demote Abreu. Wishing them redemption

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Sometimes minor leaguers are just major leaguers in the making!

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Devers with a very high walk rate to start the season.

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

    Right, and that was discussed previously, my bad.

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

    I'm fine with Ref and Dalbec getting at-bats, but I'd really like to limit their exposure against right-handed pitching. With the exception of a nice stretch in 2022, Ref has been terrible against right-handed pitching for his entire career. Heineman still has options, so I think it still makes...

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

    And I'm probably too early to be crowning him a middle-of-the-lineup threat. His start has me excited, is all.

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

    Funniest thing about that list is that the worst players are at the tippy top. Plantier, Sam Horn, and Middlebrooks combined for like, 5 career WAR. Greenwell obviously a legit major leaguer. Anyways, a list full of legit players. Abreu's K rate, btw, is down to 28.8%, which is something of a...

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

    Oh, I'm not disagreeing, sorry if that wasn't clear. He seems as good an option as any with the infield in the state it's in. But theyve got an off day so they have time to make some roster moves.

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

    Kavadas is really a three true outcomes guy. BB% of 20% at almost every stop in the minor leagues (which he has in common with Wilyer). But where Abreu only K'd about 20% in AAA, Kavadas floor is the 30% he's posted so far this year. Still and all, his K rate in AAA is no worse than Bobby's...

    I'm also not sure what's going on with Brandon Walter. He was put on the 7-day injured list back in late March with a left rotator cuff strain, and it's been already almost a month. I wouldn't be surprised if he got moved to the 60-day IL either. The only other options, as I see it, is DFA'ing...

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    Okay Booser

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

    The idea that the ownership group is totally averse to spending money has become such a meme on here. They just extended Rafaela and Bello this spring. They signed Liam Hendricks, Giolito, and several other pitchers. They spent three hundred million to lock up Devers. Now, you can quibble with...

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    Sox lineup is something else today.

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

    It'll be interesting to see what they do. I have to think they still want to compete. They're two games over .500, the pitching has been incredible, they're getting excellent seasons out of O'Neill, Casas, Duran, and Yoshida and young guys like Abreu are coming on. They've been...
