    Michael Chavis, SS: 2014 MLB Draft 26th overall

    Truth of the matter is that "Sons of George Scott" would create "SoGS" which doesn't exactly "trip off the tongue."

    Sandy Leon waived

    If Leon clears waivers and Sox remove him from 40 man roster and he accepts the probable ml offer that IMO would be best practical outcome. He'd be in the organization at no Lux cost. Clearly trading him to LAAoA for Trout would be better but....

    2019 Red Sox lineup construction

    Given that ST numbers are just ST and nothing on which to base betting the the mortgage money, placement of JBJ & Devers will come down to a combo of what their "newly acquired batting styles" show mitigated by any psychological plus/minus tO which Cora subscribes. Optimal would both players...

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    I shouldn't rush to judgement. Being old and not having a lot of years left to enjoy Sox championships, I sometimes jump the gun and celebrate terrific news too soon. I stopped reading The Filthy Ones post above after seeing that Weber threw 115 last year. Shoulda finished the Report.

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    You know it wasn't that long ago when Eovaldi was scuffling a month or so after the trade, many voices wondered if keeping Beeks might not have been the better choice. "Sic transit Gloria."

    How much will Pedroia contribute in 2019?

    My fear with Pedey is that his 100% all the time style will exacerbate any physical weaknesses in his body. He's a f***** gamer and can't play any other way. I'm sorry to say that Dustin Pedroia will be another example of an overpay for the back end of a long contract.

    Red Sox Silver Sluggers: Betts, Martinez, Martinez

    Martinez, Martinez and Betts I am reminded of a Groucho line "Gonsalez, Gonsalez and Mark two guys and I get third billing!"

    Price is right

    I think Bizzaro Pedro is more accurate.
