    Young, scrappy and hungry: when does Hamilton get his shot?

    David Hamilton is currently hitting .319/.390/.569 with 12 stolen bases at AAA Worchester. He's 25 years old and already on the 40 man roster. Christian Arroyo is hitting .190/.217/.241 in Boston and has little upside. Yu Chang is hitting .136/.174/.341 in Boston and has zero upside. I love the...

    Maybe the Red Sox are good?

    We knew they were going to hit. JD Martinez, Rafael Devers, Xander Boegarts looks like a legit middle of the order. Frenchy Cordero, Christian Vasquez, and Alex Verdugo seem like solid offensive contributors and maybe Dalbec too. It's a deep lineup. I'm not sure if we have an answer at second...

    Tracking pitch framing

    This started out as a post on the CV versus BS thread, but I want to break it out to start a more general thread looking at the influence of pitch framing in real world situations. Here's the Brooks Baseball The pitches that are most interesting are the pink squares that are outside the...

    If we're buyers, who do we spend?

    For the purposes of this thread, lets assume we want to make a major upgrade. Who do we trade? What players would we need to trade to get a top talent in return, what players are you willing to trade, what players are you absolutely not willing to trade?   Obviously your ideal trade chip is...

    SP Available at the 2015 Deadline

    Moving this here:   Milwaukee, Oakland, Colorado, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, probably Miami, probably the White Sox, maybe Atlanta, maybe eventually Seattle.   So, clearly IMO buying means adding another quality starter first and foremost. So if we're looking for top of the rotation, it's back...

    Help us Eduardo Rodriguez, you're our only hope

      Is everyone else ready for the Eduardo Rodriguez era?   I sure as shit am.   18.2 IP 4 ER 1 BB 1 HR 16 Ks. 1.93 ERA and 2.47 FIP.   And he's touching 99 on the radar gun.   What are we waiting for?

    Did the 2014 strike zone change help GB pitchers?

    This has been mentioned in a couple of threads on the Red Sox thinking this offseason, and I thought it was worthy of a more comprehensive analysis than I had seen to date.    As many know, the strike zone looked a little different in 2014 than it did in 2013. I'll quote the New York Times from...

    Wait, we can trade draft picks now?

    When did this happen?   According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the Cubs have "inquired about receiving a competitive-balance draft pick and the accompanying bonus-pool money" as part of a return package for right-hander Jeff Samardzija. This would require that a trade get done by Thursday's...

    Could Mookie Betts have an impact on 2014 Red Sox?

    I'll take my question offline, because I'm more curious what others think than what I think.    But understand I'm talking about Betts playing a direct role here, not used as trade bait or anything else.
