Valdez kept over Hamilton with Grissom as backup SS?
Or Yoshida IL stint possible and they’re stalling?

Julian Mack said Grissom isn't active because of the flu. The Red Sox really can't have nice things.

I tend to trust my own internal "projections" known as my own opinion and evaluation of a player over system projection. I'm wrong a good percentage of the time, but then again so are the "projections" from all these systems or whatever so why trust them over my own eyes and experience? Why treat them like its gospel when it's even more wrong than I am? If only there was some way we could have both...

Yoshida news-
Being imaged by a hand specialist tomorrow per Speier.
Sounds like a IL trip for sure coming.

As we all know, projections can be taken as gospel; they are infallible predictors of the future. So it is interesting to note the Garrett Cooper is pegged for a wRC+ between 105 and 108 for the rest of the season. That would be between 108 and 111 points better than what Dalbec's given them (though, alas, 26-29 points worse than what Casas has given them).

I think they’re intentionally trying to buy a day or two until they figure out what to do w/ Masa before they make any further moves.

The waiting period after being optioned is waived if there's an injury, so if Yoshida does need an IL stint, they could easily just turn around and recall whomever they're sending out.

Nah....no reason they could not make a move today and then another one tomorrow.

BTW, going into today's games the Sox were in sole position of second place in b-Ref's SAS metric, 0.1 runs per game ahead of O's and 0.2 ahead of the Braves. A more normal performance by the Cubs' position player pitchers would have them behind the O's and tied with or 0.1 back of the Braves. There's a big gap pf 0.4 down to the Yankees and Dodgers.

The projection posts.....that was hilarious reading. Thanks....the combat has got me primed for tonights game ! I was surprised to see 3 pages before the first pitch.
Of course, being the game thread, one has to wonder why........nvm. lol

Excited about seeing Cooper playing solid to exceptional 1B. He's a ball magnet. 2 out of three balls in play will be hit to him.

Valdez being physically incapable of taking a walk deprived us all of Cooper with the bases loaded in his first Sox AB, but I'm still excited for this!
Edit: God I hate umpires. Cooper got screwed.
