    The Amazing Criswell?

    The Canadian is wearing a balaclava. It's got to be cold.

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Good test of Raffy's knee right off the bat.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    The trouble is the bats that aren't struggling are all outfielders (Abreu, Duran, Refsnyder), so how do you squeeze him into the lineup, especially using the DH spot to give guys like O'Neill and Devers soft returns? The only non-use of Yoshida I might question was Sunday (Heineman), but even...

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Maybe there's something in the (dirty) water?

    The Amazing Criswell?

    Masa, O'Neill, Abreu in the outfield Wong, Rafaela, Duran, Refsnyder around the infield McGuire behind the plate Devers at DH Is that the best offensive lineup they could field right now?

    The Amazing Criswell?

    At whose expense though? Pretty much all the offense of late is coming from the outfielders, and that's not even counting O'Neill. Duran was drafted as an infielder, maybe he can play 2B for a while? /s

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    On July 8, 2022, Michael Wacha was placed on the IL (replaced by Connor Seabold). He joined Chris Sale (rib), Nathan Eovaldi (back), Rich Hill (knee), Matt Barnes (shoulder), and Garrett Whitlock (hip) who were already on the IL. The next day, Seabold was put on the IL with a forearm extensor...

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

    DFA does not automatically mean he's available for "just money". DFA means that the team has to move him off the 40-man roster within 10 days, either via trade, waivers, or release (or outrighting him to the minors but a veteran like Cooper is sure to decline that). If the Sox want him and...

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Where did I say they were negatives? I was just pointing out that Bloom could have moved any or all of them during his tenure and did not, and now it's paying off. By no means was that intended to be a slight toward Dombrowski or those trades.

    This isn't Plans 1 through 8, this is Plan 9, this is the one that worked.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Dombrowski wasn't fired because the farm system was light or weak. In fact, the people in charge of drafting and player development under Dombrowski remained there under Bloom and some even remain there now (or have been promoted) under Breslow, so apparently the powers that be thought...

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

    Most guys on the scrap heap can't be stashed in Worcester when everyone is healthy. Most of them are also probably reluctant to sign on to sit on the bench 120 games a year because they're backing up guys expect to play 150+ games each. I believe wholeheartedly that if they had a candidate who...

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

    Do we know definitively it was from a swing? I know that's what triggered him to leave the game Friday but I thought I saw something about it having been bothering him for a couple days prior. Which would make the swing the straw that broke the camel's back rather than the root cause.

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    All this data and video is encouraging. Is there a reason that this guy went undrafted out of college, or is this Tread Athletics place a source of miracles?

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

    Agreed. No sense in undermining the guys he has to play in the short-term, especially since overall results have been positive since Casas went down (yeah, it was the Pirates but still, they've won every game). A small vote of confidence in Dalbec doesn't prevent Breslow from scouring the free...

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

    Looking at it now, of course Solano would be a good fit. There have been some around here who have been beating his drum since before spring training. I suspect that when he was in the process of signing, the Sox weren't all that attractive to him. Not with Casas presumably healthy, Devers...

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

    I didn't say they can't find someone better than Dalbec. I'm saying that signing a 1B-only FA like Cron or Belt doesn't go far enough if they need to be platooned and semi-frequent coverage at 3B is needed as well. If they can find someone who plays all the same defensive positions Dalbec can...

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

    I think that's correct. I don't think they necessarily have to officially call him up to place him on the IL, but placing him on the 60-day does mean he accrues service time which he is not doing while on the minor league IL.

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

    The trouble with either of them is that they are 1B only, which if they aren't hitting enough to be full time (and let's be honest, if they could, they'd have a job already), is a drain on the roster. As much as most of us don't like Dalbec, I don't see him going anywhere as long as there are...
