I wish I could share your optimism....Tampa has what, 8 pitchers on the 60 day IL and 2 on the 15 day IL. All but 1 or 2 will probably be active this year. And they have 5 position players on the IL and 4 will probably be back this year. How they are able to stay so close to the WC is...

MassLive.Com is reporting that Refsnyder is on his way to Seattle to join the Sox there. No word on the 40 man roster move needed yet.

So Kike gets hurt and the moves are...release Arroyo from the 40 man, add Fitzgerald and call him up, keep Arauz in AAA. OK, I got it now. I'm not too sure I want to release Arroyo right now, but I see what you want.

Fitzgerald is not on the 40 man roster. Do you want to release Arroyo, or a pitcher?

Absolutely. Those 30 odd games will tell Chaim everything he needs to do.

I voted Nope. My preseason prediction was 81 wins, and I still think they are a .500 team.

And that's what they are...a .500 team. I never have any optimistic feelings with any opponent that the Sox play. What Sox team is going to show up Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde? I've just accepted that what we have. The only thing that will shock me about the 2022 Red Sox and that's if we are not...

I'm not sure I agree with that analysis. The Sox kicked Ass in the first half last year, without Mr. Sale.

Very Very True. That is a lot of holes. Xander, JDM, Kike, Vazquez, Plawecki could all be FA this off season. Can't be helped. Dalbec, Duran and Casas are going to be asked (expected) to fill some holes. Opportunities also for Downs, Davis, Hamilton, Wong to step up. Perhaps we sign some of...

Isn't this what every team tries to achieve? Build around the veterans you have. Insert your minor leaguers whom you have developed and plug your holes on the FA market.

I'm unsure of the rules of a qualifying offer, but, if Xander should remain with the Sox for the entire season, and opts out after the world series, can the Sox tag him with a qualifying offer?

We have 2 good things to fall into our laps over that disaster of season (2020), Mayer and Whitlock. Makes me think how fortunate we were to have Pitts, Texas and Detroit pass on Whitlock to make him available for us. Great job Chaim....

If I understand the MLB rules relating to opening day rosters, the roster will be expanded to 28 players for the month of April. Plus, there is no limit to the number of position players versus pitchers, so you can have 14 of each or 15 of one and 13 of another. Then in May, it reverts back to...

Wins: 81. -Team leader in Wins? Eovaldi -Team leader in Saves? Barnes -Team leader in ERA (qualifying)? Eovaldi -Team leader for Batting Average (qualifying)? Story -Team leader in HR? Devers -Team leader in Steals? Story -Team leader in HBP? Dalbec -Player who plays the majority of 1B games...

I'll never be convinced that signing Devers to a LT deal would make sense, and it's all because of his weight. 6'0 and weighing 240 is a lot of bulk on his joints.

Let's not forget the 20 SB last year. Hopefully Duran can make the team to give us at least 2 guys who can run.

My sentiments exactly.

Absolutely right. This is a bill which can be knocked out over lunch. Many on this board argue that taking away the exemption will not end the lockout. Maybe your right, but which party benefits from the antitrust exemption? I can't see where it benefits the players or the fans. Screw the...

Was I relying on revoking the antitrust exemption.? I think I wrote it is another means to an end. My only thought was how to get the owners off their butts and get the games going. While we are on the subject.....Liberal Bernie Sanders and Conservative Ted Cruz (when do those two agree on...
