Part of the offseason plan was for these guys to take care of their body and get into a shape that can extend through the season without any major issues. That looks to be an abject failure here.

Looks like he’s ready for his big screen debut in the new Creed movie.
January 12, 20233 yr My question is why is he doing that on a paver brick driveway? Just seems like an odd place and that yoga mat isn't offering much in the way of a mat on the same paver bricks. Doesn't he have an tennis court or something?

January 22, 20233 yr Fegan has a great article up with Katz quotes. The biggest thing that jumped out to me is the Sox starting depth is going to be tested, as Kopech still isn’t 100 pct and Clevinger might be on an innings limit. At least we know Hahn will stay busy to ensure injuries can’t derail the team!!!

He is in his 1st arb year, hasn't been healthy or productive, and didn't sound like he made friends in the clubhouse. Not sure he is better than Romy or Lenyn, or even a healthy Leury.

At least we know Hahn will stay busy to ensure injuries can’t derail the team!!! I understand it’s Fegan saying it and I’m also not claiming to be an expert…but I find it hard to believe both Kopech and Clevinger won’t be expected to be a full go for this season. Obviously whether it actually happens once the season starts it’s a different story. But Clevinger is almost a full 2 years removed from TJ and threw 115 innings last year. Why would he be on a limit of any kind? And an early October 2022 meniscus surgery is going to interrupt Kopech’s ability to pitch in 2023? If so there’s a much bigger problem, I don’t see how meniscus surgery could be that big of a deal. Don’t get me wrong tho, our SP depth is alarming regardless and Hahn should 100% be doing something about it.

Any indication that his defense or base running improved at all on the northside? Because if his bat doesn’t play, he’s not really a starting calibre 2B at this point.

Basically a zero arm and slightly positive ErrR, for a top 10 UZR.

Sosa might have potential but we have no idea what he is. Acting like he isn’t better than their current options is laughable.
