Is Arroyo really a better option in the lineup over Renfroe and Cordero?

MLB.TV Not on NESN per https://www.mlb.com/press-release/press-release-red-sox-announce-2021-spring-training-broadcast-schedule On on Fox...

Will it be televised?

Oh, I was comparing their current cost. Holt is 32, and probably has some baseball life left. I’d rather have spent the additional $12 million...

The games themselves are meaningless. Getting a chance to see some of the guys we haven't seen before has a little value.

@PeteAbe #RedSox at Twins (1:05, 7 innings): Hernández SS, Gonzalez 2B, Martinez DH, Devers 3B, Renfroe RF, Vázquez C, Dalbec 1B, ...

If you make the assumption that games will end at a random spot in the lineup, then one can assume that a spot in the order will be the final AB of...

In my post, age is only a factor when considering the players' actual performance and developed skills at the time during the rebuilds -- the middle...

Devers had a .916 OPS and led the majors in total bases in 2019. I don't really see him blowing that away. Doing similar things would be enough for...

I would flip JD and Dalbec. Dalbec has "more to prove" than JD. I could see Cordero maybe not starting vs LHPs, but he should get a chance to...

I thought it was pretty clear I was comparing EHern to the Holt we saw with the Sox, not the much older one. I try to spell things out more...

There is still a real possibility that Devers can blow away his 2019 season. I'm more than just hopeful he can do that. I am fairly confident he...

I'm hopeful Ottavino can win the job and do well. Our starters and pen should be much better than last year, so maybe we can reduce the amount of...

Well, it makes sense to bat Kiké leadoff. The guy who hits leadoffs is more likely to hit without anyone else on than any other slot in the lineup....

At Devers' age, he's far beyond what Ortiz was at his. Ortiz didn't hit like 2019 Devers until 2004 when he was 29.

This is putting Tito in a rather bad spot now.

It might end up 87 wins, but it will be frustrating because some of those losses will be 9th inning meltdowns without a closer.

141, that is.

Holt deserves better than to be fighting for the right to make a AAAA team. Rangers will lose 100 games easily

You're welcome. My focus was on the top 6-7 in the line-up, but I think many are short-changing our 7-9 hitters. True, some other teams have...

Holt is on a minor league deal with the Rangers for $1.75 million if he makes the big club. What was I trying?

Ward seems to have bullpen also written all over him. Top end stuff, shit command

Verdugo Devers Renfroe Bogey Dalbec JDM Cordero Vaz Kiki I would love to see something like this yes very Right dominant .My belief is...

As always Thankyou for this Moon .Cora does have a talented team just look at these players .Season can’t start soon enough for me .

I thought you said these games were meaningless. ????

While line-ups may not mean much, batting someone first or ninth means a lot more of less PAs for Kiki. In 2019, the number 1 slot had 241 more...

Roster Resource has him batting 9th as well...

Not sure, but fangraphs projected 87.
