  1. To follow up, my Tim decision is purely predicted on whatever you think he is in the clubhouse (which we truly don't know). If he's a problem, he's gone. If you honestly think he's a net 0 to a net positive you bring him back as there's no real reason to think we compete next year. You're not blocking Colson yet. He's still one of the more popular players we have. And there's some reason to think his year was injury fueled. Bad year + bad team = whatever. Bad year + good team = we are good in spite of him. Good year + bad team = move him. Good year + good team = well that'd be neat.

  2. I'll be shocked if one of Merrifield or Frazier aren't on the team next year.

     

    TBH, the Anderson decision will signal so much about what's going to happen. I actually think in a vacuum you bring back Tim because the price isn't outrageous in comparison to what you'll spend for terrible options at the position, but it isn't a vacuum.

  3. Post-playing career

    During his pitching career, Bannister became known in baseball for his interest in scouting and player analysis and evaluation. He became interested in statistical analysis and Sabermetrics such as FIP and UZR as means of determining a player's true value.[6] On January 13, 2015, Bannister joined the Boston Red Sox as a member of its professional scouting department.[6] On September 9, 2015, he was promoted by Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski to a new position, director of pitching analysis and development.[7] On July 6, 2016, Bannister was promoted to assistant pitching coach.[8] On November 3, 2016, he was promoted to vice president of pitching development, in addition to his role as assistant pitching coach.[9]After the 2019 season, he was taken off the coaching staff while remaining as vice president of pitching development,[10] until leaving the Red Sox to take a position with the San Francisco Giants in December 2019.[11] His title with the Giants is director of pitching, and he is listed as a member of the team's uniformed coaching staff.[12]

     

     

  4. Just a heads up for something I discovered a few weeks ago - I use the Libby app to check out ebooks through my local library, and surprised to see that they offer Baseball America as part of the magazines you can electronically check out. Thought it might be worth letting some of our minor league followers know that if they have a library card, it might be worth checking the Libby app to see if you have free access to BA.
