Today's disastrous results aside, I think this was Beeks' 3rd time on tv this spring and his stuff has been less than impressive imo.

What's weird with those dates is when Bogaerts was hitting well to start the year he had a .268 expected-wOBA with a .383 BABIP, 1% barreled balls. He was hitting the ball like garbage but had a .366 wOBA outcome.
After this injury he was still hitting the ball poorly, .292 expected-wOBA, but the results were not as fortunate, .306 wOBA, .280 BABIP, 2% barreled balls.
He needs to make better contact, healthy or not.

That Herald article seemed to have raised more questions than answers, but Houck told Chris Smith he's now a four-seam, slider, curveball and changeup guy. Also says he got with a nutritionist and is now up to 6'5, 225, after adding 10-15 this winter.

Obviously taken with a grain of salt due to the nature of spring training but I really enjoyed the numbers Kelley/Barnes/Smith put up during innings 4-6 yesterday against PIT (still facing some regulars): 3.0 IP, 1H, 0R, 6K (3 looking), 22 pitches (22 strikes!!!!). More of that please! fwiw MLB.com doesn't do balls and strikes in ST. No matter the count, every out/BIP is counted as 1 pitch, K 3 pitches, walk 4 pitches, etc.

If Devers hits .280/.350/.500 he will join Cesar Cedeno, Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, Justin Upton, Mike Trout x2 as players to do that at 21 or younger since 1960.

I think the Hosmer to SD signing provides a roadmap of what to expect with Martinez. I think he'll sign a similar type of deal with Arizona where they frontload the first few years and make it really low the last two or three years so it becomes a no-brainer to opt out and DH for an AL team. Meanwhile JDM would get his money upfront for the first few years and the opt out would lower the AAV for Arizona. I think unless the Sox raise their offer, JDM is definitely going to Arizona. And like I said in the other thread, Logan Morrison will soon either be a KC Royal or a Red Sox, pending JDM heading to Arizona. Why is Arizona worried about AAV? I thought their problem was immediate cash so they wanted the reverse of what you are suggesting.

So, when — do we cut and run if JD isn’t signed? I think there has to be great value to him being on the team for ST — no? You have to know your teammates and, them, you, before the season starts. If that means you then watch JDM sign for 5/80 with the B’backs, so be it. That's a completely ridiculous "so be it." When you can get a top 5 hitter in all of baseball who cares if he signs tonight, opening day or April 10th as long as you're the last team standing. There should be no reason the Red Sox make bidding close or a pillow contract from someone else seem acceptable. If he signs before 3:59 on the 29th he should be batting cleanup at 4:00.

Hard to find any real redeeming qualities about him in his peripherals or batted ball data. His BABIP and LOB% were abnormal.

Gammons has been pushing Hosmer to the Sox on his site for over a month now using the same bullet points.

I think people are wildly overestimating what Miami is going to get in return from whoever gets him.

He broke his elbow in a collision with a wall in 2016 and last spring strained a ligament in his foot.

So a $250 million payroll, $53 million past the luxury tax. Doubt that. I think JDM can get $25M if he takes 4 years, but not 5, and I doubt he gets 6. I think his contract looks most out of whack from all of them, but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'd love that Duda contract, Moreland back would be nice as well. I think they get Martinez and they sign a low tier 1B, or a Nunez type.

I don't know if that's the Sox field, but yeah, a handful of American kids have been down there the last few weeks playing and staying at the Academy. Houck, Hanna, Scherff, Schellenger

I like Santana, but if he gets the QO feels like it would be impossible justify going his way over Moreland, Alonso, Duda etc.

The question is this: If he were a FA, would someone sign him to a one-year deal for $4 million to $6 million? I think someone would. With a 22M vesting option less than 500 PA away?

If you go over $237 million do you lose a pick or is your highest pick moved back 10 spots? Top pick dropped 10 spots, unless it's Top 6, in which case your 2nd pick is dropped 10.

Non-tender Thornburg??? You think anyone would touch Hanley before he is DFA'd at any price? Can't see it with his contract, position, shoulders, value.
They can sign Martinez and one of someone like Moreland/one of the other second tier 1B/Nunez and stay under real penalties by just moving on from Kelly, Holt, Ross... maybe Leon if the Swihart report is true from Gammons.
I think Pomeranz is a trade candidate. Would imagine Bogaerts and Bradley get discussed too. More inclined to think this winter's haul ends up something like Alonso and Nunez. For the love of god no Hosmer.
Couple places have mentioned Rusney just be swapped in for Young, don't see how that is possible unless not much is done this winter. Makes the Brentz finish even more bizarre IMO.
