Weissert and Campbell have looked outstanding this spring. Really surprised that the Mariners were willing to move him for Urias, who, if I recall correctly, was a non-tender candidate.
I doubt it. He's had a rough spring but with Refsnyder out there's room for Ceddane and Wilyer, isn't there? Wilyer has also suffered from a miserable BABIP this spring. His numbers would look a lot better if he was batting .300 on balls in play rather than .200.
Abreu comes up small after a passed ball put runners on 2nd and third. Awful AB. Cedanne played his way on to the team, per Cora and the main board. Is Abreu playing his way off?
Yeah, Campbell looked very good. I also agree Wilyer is likely to be on the OD roster, all things considered. Hopefully he finds a groove.I doubt it.

But Wilyer might be platooning or backing up, for the most part. I guess we'll see.
Anyways, we can all agree that Campbell's slider is making fools of the Pirates.
Me too. His discipline doesn't seem to slump, regardless. That's an advantage of his approach and I think it's one the FO doubtless appreciates. 9 walks in like 65 PA is nothing to sneeze at.Yeah, Campbell looked very good.

He's had a pretty horrible spring. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he started in AAA for a bit

Et tu, Loganpater?Anthony 0-3 with two K's as well.
Sox will suck forever.
I suppose I wouldn't either, but I think they need him as a backup outfielder right now. If Yoshida is primarily at DH, it's some combination of O'Neill-Duran-Rafaela, right?He's had a pretty horrible spring. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he started in AAA for a bit
EDIT--although valid point about his plate discipline by @Fishy1
I have to go to the lineup thread to figure this out!I suppose I wouldn't either, but I think they need him as a backup outfielder right now. If Yoshida is primarily at DH, it's some combination of O'Neill-Duran-Rafaela, right?
^^^ Chase Anderson clearly who I was referring to in this post.The issue is I don't think there's any particularly reliable indication that Criswell will be a good 3-inning reliever. His greatest skill is probably that he can potentially pitch 6 mid innings in one day because he has a larger array of pitches.
I just posted this on Criswell a few minutes ago...

It includes his ZiPS protection:
I don't think having Criswell as a multi-inning option would be any more useful than having like a Hagenman, Politi or German, & it would actively limit their ability to have him available if they need a spot starter or a guy to step into the rotation.
They really should just add another starter, though. I hear there is someone available...& the Red Sox are still approximately $24m under the tax threshold.
1 BB, 9 KGOT HEEM!
6 innings, 3 runs. Classic Pivetta.
Guy's a stud. I've loved him since we got him. Gamer.1 BB, 9 K
He keeps getting better. Time to extend himGuy's a stud. I've loved him since we got him. Gamer.
I dunno; he's only in the third-best shape of his careerHe keeps getting better. Time to extend him
Let's see if Triston learned anything....Heavy deja vu this inning.
