Autumn Dreamin Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Lots of "first outing of spring" type performances from the arms, nice for the bats to be able to hit around it. 12 runs on 16 hits and 6 walks against 5ks (only 1 from the starters) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could even be 5 if neither Mead, Hill ,Wade , Antonacci & Murray don't make the 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think both Mead and Hill make the team together. I don't think there's a spot for either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox also 6 for 18 with RISP compared to M's 3 for 17. Edited 13 hours ago by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Fegan's pre-game notes Pregame notes: Anthony Kay Cactus League debut - Sox Machine - Kay sits 93-95 - C. Monty to play Wed, Pereira still getting better - Venable wants Sosa to play more 3B - Mune and 10-D to get time at DH in-season, complicating Quero and Teel's DH time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if they go with 3 catchers .OF should be 10D, Acuna,Baldwin, Hays maybe Hill. Tanner Murray's looked good so far. Kelenic & Peraira will get their looks too.

Tanner Murray's looked good so far. They'd have to DFA or IL Pereira in that case. They're bringing Pereira back from his oblique slowly, so maybe he doesn't really play for a couple of weeks. MLBTR story today that the Yankees are looking for a RHH bat at catcher or OF. Korey Lee plays both!!

Should just eat Beni's salary and ship him to some team that needs a lefty platoon bat. Also, Sosa does not have the arm for 3B. We've been over this. He can hide it at 2nd. He can't at 3rd. He's a perfectly fine 2B defensively other than the brain farts, which aren't going to go away at 3rd. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played negative defense, as per FanGraphs last year, but he was ranked 23rd out of 30. for 2B over 200 PAs. Not the absolute worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the absolute worst. He's like half a win below average at 2nd with the glove. I think he might be 3 wins above average with the bat at 2B. We'll see how he does. My thoughts on him at third are based on my own scouting of him on the 2024 Seattle trip. He played there that night and was a disaster. His arm just won't allow it imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Like the fact the Sox stole four bases. Don't like the fact they are letting Sosa a defensive liability play at third base (or anywhere in the field for that matter.) Guy is a DH.

Maybe that gets overblown too. I think with you have a mid 20s hitter capable of 30 HR's he needs time to get comfortable . But his value has to increase quickly as does Vargas' & Meidroth because more infielders are coming. Antonacci, Bonemer, Roch C*. & Carlson.( farthest away) * Not yet but a high probability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he is due to come out of the gate with a few hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox had to trade Robert and his $20 million just to finish their offseason, which is sad enough as it is. No way is Jerry going to eat the majority of Benintendi’s $31 million remaining so he can play for another team for the next two years.

joejoesox Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago as of right now, Sox have scored the most runs of any team in Spring Training (40). Yankees 2nd with 38, PIT with 37, SEA with 36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Sox still owe him $30 mill and it would probably take at least $20mill to move him. Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
