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

    Great except for the fact that there seems no interest in Ref at 1B

    Anxiety is Good for You

    Can't totally remember, but wasn't Nomar hitting .400 into early August in 2000 when he got hit on the wrist, then predictably struggled the rest of the way?

    What to do with Yoshida?

    dWAR can be really stupid.

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

    I posted before that as bad as Rafaela looks at the plate, there’s things about his approach and swing that makes me confident he’ll be fine and soon. Valdez on the other hand really looks lost and overpowered

    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...
