If Monty can't stick at SS/3B he's a LH Andrew Vaughn

I agree, but you think Montgomery has a low ceiling?

Mike Cameron?

Who is the 5th starter? Nastrini, Garcia or Toussaint?

Surely you can't be serious.

I think they're that bad that they might lose 110 anyway despite the fact the ALC is ass.

They're going to at the very least lose 100 games, and quite possibly lose the most in team history. It would not shock me at all if they lost 110+ but that is very hard.

I heard Kopech hit 100 mph in his last outing out of the pen. Interesting will be if he can get the slider he had in 2021 back. He might just be built for the bullpen.

^^^^^

Interested to see velo readings on Thorpe today.

What have the Sox done recently to give you any idea that they're anything other than a complete clown college? I actually hoped that Fletcher would be decent when they traded for him.

I'm of the opinion that doing poorly in spring means more than doing well, because a big chunk of ST is against non-MLB talent. And who do the Diamondbacks have in the OF outside of Carroll and Gurriel? Thomas and Pham are not that good.

I wouldn't be complaining if he looked like he had a clue at the plate.

He quite frankly doesn't look like an MLB player. He never got much of a chance with Arizona for a reason, it seems.

Idk how they can bring him north.

And Lawrence is teetering on massive bust territory as well. If Caleb ends up being a bust, I give up.

I agree. No reason for the Sox to be trading a 21 year old pitcher who had reached AAA for a 26 year old OF with a limited ceiling.

The Fletcher/Mena trade disagrees with the idea that Getz has a clue about player evaluation.

No bueno.

If Fletcher's not ready now, he never will be. He's 26. I think they're going to give him a chance anyway but if he looks anything like he has in spring during the regular season it is already a dumb trade regardless of what Mena does.

I will disagree. I thought Fields was still good enough to start somewhere, but I guess the league views him as a complete bust.

Yeah, the league thought very poorly of Fields.

Oh god, I just realized how I phrased that lmao. I'm blushing. What I meant was that I would have a similar schtick that Ron did about Abreu.
