Sox catchers and SS have a real good chance of hitting below the Mendoza line with not many walks. I do think the improved defense will get them a couple more wins, but they are going to be very boring.
December 9, 20232 yr They have picked a lane. They are developing pitching and supporting those pitchers with defense. I believe they are going to lose like 110 games, but at least they have picked a lane.

December 10, 20232 yr The pitching staff is ecstatic. This is a massive defensive upgrade over the turd they ran out there for the last 4 years.

Then, when a prospect is truly ready, bring him in. It’s actually not a bad plan with what has happened. It’s too bad Grifol made it through to this point, but we can’t have everything we want with JR running things. Hopefully it’s a .500 or close team in 2025, and a true decent team in 2026, that can contend. We can hope.

December 10, 20232 yr With this division and if these pitchers stay healthy...now you add in premium defense and framing....this team is gonna actually compete for the division, aren't they...? The Twins are taking a step back and Tigers and Royals suck. Anyone complaining about this move for like a million dollars are nuts

December 10, 20232 yr Anyone also complaining about him skipping last year...his wife delivered their baby 3 months early and the baby fought for his life. If anything this means he is a good guy. The team needs more of those. Edited December 10, 20232 yr by EloyJenkins

December 10, 20232 yr I now see the logic of just promoting Getz. What a waste 2024 would be without Stassi, DsJong and Nicky Lopez.
