3 hours ago3 hr I admit I didn’t watch a ton of his starts last year, but was he always this tight in his wind-up? It’s so minimal it looks uncomfortable.

3 hours ago3 hr I am weirdly not yet that alarmed by Shane. I was a little concerned by his last two ST outings and I'm not exactly in love with these first two regular season outings, but they are rather different than how he looked in ST. Stuff is still there. Today's outing would be unremarkable if he made a simple throw. Command was worse on opening day but was also let down by his defense with catcher's interference. I'll just wait and see if we get a cleaner outing before I send him to purgatory.

3 hours ago3 hr spotrac.comSandy Alcantara | MLB Contracts & Salaries | Spotrac.comSandy Alcantara signed a 5 year, $56,000,000 contract with the Miami Marlins with an average annual salary of $11,200,000.$17 million contract is quite reasonable if he pitches like he's demonstrated (that he was capable of) in the recent past...becomes one of the biggest trade deadline targets.
3 hours ago3 hr Author 6 minutes ago, fathom said:I had heard from a non Sox scout I know that they were concerned with how he looked in ST. It’s why my bold prediction was he’d be DFA this year.He's got 3 option years to work out his issues. I wonder if they cycle through Davitt and Cannon before bringing up the big three.

3 hours ago3 hr Forgot about Davitt.Flotsam/jetsam.Who was Smith's primary catcher last year?Something just seems way off.
3 hours ago3 hr Also what's been problematic is Quero not exactly holding his own as the primary catcher
3 hours ago3 hr 3 minutes ago, caulfield12 said:For Cannon or Sandlin?Newcomb?What's the cutoff for Hagen and Schultz not to lose a 7th year?April 20 something?It's 15 extra days built into the schedule, so on day 16, they couldn't accrue a full year of service if they were on the MLB roster for the rest of the season.
