Who will be the last five players on the Opening Day roster?
|
Post by Underwater Johnson on Mar 26, 2022 13:45:19 GMT -5
Opening Day rosters in 2022 will have 28 men on them.
The Red Sox have 23 guys who I consider locks to go north with the big club, barring injuries; 12 pitchers and 11 position players (if you disagree with these locks, you can certainly express that in the comments). They are as follows:
Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Tanner Houck
Rich Hill Michael Wacha Garrett Whitlock Matt Barnes Ryan Brasier Darwinzon Hernanadez Jake Diekman Hirokazu Sawamura Matt Strahm
Christian Vazquez Kevin Plawecki Bobby Dalbec Christian Arroyo Trevor Story Xander Bogaerts Rafael Devers Jackie Bradley Alex Verdugo Enrique Hernandez Julio Martinez
Given these locks, there are five open spots, so in the poll you can vote for five guys.
Note that the players whose names are followed by an asterisk are not currently on the 40-man roster, so they would first need to displace a current member of the 40-man to make the 28-man game-day roster.
There will be a correct answer revealed on April 7th (again, accounting for possible injuries). Good luck!

This is what I'm guessing goes north:
I'd say the bottom 5 of this roster would be Holland, Fitzgerald, Refsnyder, Davis, and Shaw. I'd guess Davis and Refsnyder go when they go down to 26.
Eovaldi, Hill, Pivetta, Houck, Wacha
Barnes, Diekman, Robles, Brasier, Sawamura, Whitlock, Strahm, Davis, Holland
Vazquez, Plawecki
Dalbec, Story, Bogaerts, Devers, Arroyo, Shaw, Fitzgerald
Verdugo, Hernandez, Bradley, Martinez, Refsnyder

Either way, you've got four guys who are not on the 40-man going north -- who are the four current 40-man members who are DFAed or traded?
I've got Arauz getting DFAed in favor of Fitzy.

It sounds like right now the plan is to go with 3 OFs, with JDM, Arroyo and Dalbec as your backups in the OF. And then Shaw and Arauz make it on the bench.
I have no idea which relievers will make it. They have exactly enough on the 40 man to fill out the 28 man roster. Anyone that doesn't make the cut is probably just getting DFAed for someone that does.
There's no easy cuts to get Shaw on the 40 man. I guess one of Wong or Hernandez would be it. If Arauz doesn't make it then you need to make two cuts. Putting one of the AAA starters on the big league roster can save you from cutting someone.

Davis Durán Holland Shaw Valdez Davis Robles Sanchez Fitz Refsnider or Shaw Holland not ready. Duran only if he keeps hitting and his K count stays low. At 26, Shaw/Tef and Valdez go down. But, look out for a late deal for RH hitter in OF.

There are certain players that I consider locks to open and also locks to go back down after a week. Like….Duran.

My guess:
Davis Valdez Shaw Fitzgerald Duran
Could also be Robles instead of Valdez

I would encourage people to say who gets moved off the 40-man for each non-roster player they pick to make the Opening Day roster. A lot of people predicting 2, 3, or even 4 NRIs to go north with the club. That would require quite a shake-up.

I guess I should've included Big Fudge among the "locks"...

Other than Garza I don't see them a lot of 40 man roster shuffling. So subtract Holland and add Valdez. Subtract Fitzgerald and Refsnyder and add Arauz and Duran instead. I do think Shaw makes the roster.

I bet there will be a lot of interesting waiver pickup possibilities with the rosters at 28.

I don't think anyone gets dropped from the 40 so kept it to current members.

So, the adds need to be three pitchers and two field players. As to cuts fro the 40 man for my adds. Arauz or Downs if Fitz comes up. The other of Arauz or downs of Yolmer Sanchez also comes up.

Downs would almost assuredly be claimed and still has too much potential to risk losing him in my mind so I can't see him being DFAd. Arauz would make some sense. I think he'd probably be claimed too but he wouldn't be much of a loss if he was.

I think Arauz might be traded for a lottery ticket, as there may be a team who is not in good waiver-claim position who might have a spot for him. Or maybe he's included as a minor piece in a trade for a RHH OF.
Downs could even be part of a trade for an OF although I don't see Chaim selling so low on him.

Might need to re-think some of these locks...

Good news for either Fitzgerald or Refsnyder or perhaps a potential acquisition. You have to figure that Plawecki, Arroyo, and Shaw have 3 of the 4 reserve spots sewn up and that they're going with 15 pitchers out of the 28 roster spaces. Duran should be playing every day anyways at this point, and AAA makes the most sense.

Might need to re-think some of these locks... Bloom likes to keep as much depth as possible, so with that in mind, my list is as follows: Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Tanner Houck Rich Hill-L Michael Wacha Garrett Whitlock Matt Barnes Jake Diekman-L Matt Strahm-L Austin Davis-L (has no options) Hansel Robles (add to 40-man) Kutter Crawford Eduard Bazardo Phillips Valdez Darwinzon Hernandez-L Christian Vazquez Kevin Plawecki Bobby Dalbec Christian Arroyo Trevor Story Xander Bogaerts Rafael Devers Jackie Bradley Alex Verdugo Enrique Hernandez JD Martinez Jarren Duran Arauz instead of Ryan Fitzgerald as Arauz is on the 40-man and can be optioned, but mainly because if Fitzgerald were to make MLB Red Sox would have to DFA someone….unless Arauz were traded or DFAed then Fitzgerald would make the MLB roster Ryan Brasier (option to AAA - 1 remaining) Hirokazu Sawamura (option to AAA - 3 remaining) Changes depending on contracts and opt-out as we have imperfect information.

Fitzgerald >>>Arauz….I suspect that Arauz will be DFA by June to make room for him.

With a week to go, Travis Shaw is 0-for-17 with 7 Ks.
If he doesn't turn it around in a big way, there's no way you can reward him with a big-league roster spot. Especially the way that Bobby D. is swinging it.
