Yeah, it’s not gonna be the same. Remy has been the announcer for these games since I started watching them a thousand years ago. A lot of my philosophies on the game were shaped by him when I think about it. Don and Jerry were the best announce team of all time.

Had a career year last season and will almost certainly regress, but you never know. Pop in his bat and a good arm in right. If he can keep his strikeout % down again next year, he'll be fine.

Lots of positive chatter about Binelas this morning. Seems like they're eating JBJ's contract to get him, basically (no way JBJ is the everyday CF next year unless he proves he can hit again).

If Bradley is still Bradley in the field he should be playing CF everyday whether he is hitting or not.

JBJ's numbers were SO bad last year (honestly, they get worse the more you look at them) that I'm willing to believe they're an aberration and that he can return to his former self next year. Give him a shot, but cut bait if he continues to slug .260 with a 30% K rate (and a 6.5% walk rate).

We just saw how impactful outfield defense can be for all the wrong reasons, I have always said Bradley’s defense is good enough that you can carry him in the lineup even at his worst offensively, plus he is always good for getting scorching hot for a month or so.

Thinking about it though, I could honesty see them sticking Bradley in right and keeping Kike in center(I wouldn’t do this but Chaim would.)

Of course! I was bullish on the Sox re-signing him last year (check the receipts!). In 3 of his 6 non-rookie seasons with the Sox, his OPS+ was 116 or greater, and even in those other 3 years, it hovered around 90. It was totally worth it, especially in the team-control/arb years. 100%

But there's gotta be a line somewhere, right? I dunno where that line is exactly, but .163/.236/.261 with an OPS+ of 34 is below that line. I will be so happy if that's his career's cellar and he climbs out of it this year, but he'll have to win an opening day spot.

Yes, you are being lazy.

He's a .259/.341/.433 hitter at Fenway. In 1408 ABs there he has 91 2B, 41 HR, struck out 390 times (27%).

Can't really calculate his slash line in only other ballparks, but he's a .230/.311/.394 hitter for his career. I can calculate that he has 1878 ABs away from Fenway and has 85 2B, 63 HR, struck out 570 times (30%).

Thank you. So he'll see a bump just by returning to the friendly confines. The team can afford to take on JBJs money to get something potentially more useful (the prospects) out of Renfroe.

This is exactly the type I deal I was expecting at the deadline.

I just watched a 1-minute video of a teenager hitting baseballs in order to feel something:

First AB of the spring for Casas (probably an intrasquad game; it's an F8 but these are going to start going out soon).

Has he learned to defend 1st yet? He had an adventurous day when I saw him at Hadlock last summer.

You could've caught him on a bad day; I've only heard his defense described as average or better.

Some more young'ns playing ball:
