    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    A couple years ago Matthew Lugo was a Sox Prospects Top 30 prospect. Stalled last year at Portland and SP dropped him out of their Top 60. He's mashing so far this spring, and still just 22 (well, 23 on May 9). Development is not necessarily linear. Anybody know what's going on with M Lugo this...

    To the bolded, Moses didn’t bring the strike zone down from Mt Sinai on a stone tablet. If there’s a better way (there is) to get balls and strikes called correctly they can update the rule book to the zone that the machine calls.

    Based on this, probably dislocated: "While a dislocated shoulder typically produces intense or severe pain, a separated shoulder is a little milder — but still uncomfortable." The Orthopedic Clinic Recovery, via Mayo Clinic: "How long it takes to recover depends on the extent of the injury, and...

    Re: Little Rafi’s catch — making plays at the fence is what Duran can’t do, despite his other improvements, and is the reason this team needs Rafi in CF full time. He’s a game-changer out there — saves runs, makes outs, helps pitchers.

    Well, the White Sox’ AAA pitchers are all in Chicago, so their AA pitchers are in Charlotte.

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    I liked CR going with pitches for sac flies last night. Previously he’d been looking way too pull happy.

    Agree. Don’t understand why he’s hitting 3 — and why he was hitting high in the order when he returned last year. He’s yet to prove capable of producing in that spot for the Sox. Right now, I’d flip him and O’Neill — at minimum. If Ceddanne keeps making contact, I might flip him further down.

    I’m a big fan of “pitching backwards.” Throw off-speed for strikes and discomfort, surprise with fastballs. Obviously wouldn’t apply to a 99 percentile flamethrower like Clemens or NRyan. But those guys are few. I like what Bailey’s doing. Hope they can keep it up.

    4.1 - Easter Funday

    Sox went in there last year right after the All-Star break -- after sweeping the A's at Fenway a week earlier -- needing to win the series and lost 2 out of 3. Take nothing for granted. If they want to give games away, take them. And keep taking them.

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Re: the bolded -- Jumped out at me in the bottom of the first when he was in position in the middle of the infield to take the cut from O'Neill on the single with JRod on second. He was MIA on that play a lot last year. Bodes well for knowing where to go and where to throw.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Love that Little Rafi made the team. He and Story and better defense in general will help the starting pitchers, which will help the relievers. Not to mention that Bailey is going to get a little extra out of each of them. I'm upping my wins guess from 84 to 88 (yes, on my original post). I'd...
