First week of May for me.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Methinks he'll return at end of April.
My compliment to the poll-maker for a poll that has intelligible and reasonable choices.
Why rush back ??? I don't give a rip when he comes back if he's not healed completely ...Sorry but Pedey is reminding me of a scrappy player who just can never stay healthy than rushes back time and time again ...Let the Chavis time start next year ....maybe even September if Pedey is once again dinged up like he always is .
I have not heard anything new about this "signing". Has he taken the physical? If so, I hope they took lots of advanced images of his fucked-up knee and that someone competent reviewed them.
If he does pass or has passed the physical, is he ready to start camp and participate in normal ST activities right away? He was still rehabbing in December so it could reasonably be assumed that he is not ready yet.
If that knee is not ready to go now I say pass on Nunez. We need a healthy bat and placeholder for Pedroia now.
Of course, if all goes well, he comes on board and rakes until Pedroia returns and rakes himself. Nunez can spell not only Devers at 3rd as Moon has suggested, but he can give X a blow at short. X has stated as recently as this week that he tires in the second half. Nunez can help keep him fresh if things go well. Of course Nunez can sub for Pedroia as needed too. I don't want to see him in the outfield unless it is a true emergency.
Overall, Lots of things have to break right for the Sox.
We'll see.

Dombrowski would not comment today on whether Nunez passed or has even taken his physical.
Nunez said there's no deal yet.
I'm not sure what to make, if anything, on those comments.
Reportedly, the deal has a player option for the 2nd year, with a buyout, so it essentially becomes a 2 year deal. No word yet on the dollar amount.
Micro fracture surgery .....for any athelete is pretty much the kiss of death for mobility cutting ,jumping ,pivoting like he was use to doing .I love Pedey he's a legend ....his time as an elite player has been over awhile now ...this puts an explanation point on an amazing player and career .
