    Ortiz is a Red Sox mouthpiece lol. He has a stake in ownership I believe. Of course he'd try to make the Sox look like the good guys in this scenario. Also lol @ Big Papi talking about someone else having an ego.

    Is it late? He's only 28 and while his athletic peak may be passed, he's not hopeless from playing a position, let alone learning the significantly simpler 1B (incoming "it's not that hard Scott, tell him Wash" video). We're talking about him like he's some 35 year old immobile slug. Miguel Cabrera went back to 3B in his ages 30-31 seasons before shifting back over to 1B pretty seamlessly. Bryce Harper had major injury is a full time 1B as of his age 31 season. Devers might not be either of these guys offensively, but he's younger than they were when shifting positions and he's had plenty of infield experience to transfer over to learning first.

    One thing I'll say about Devers, is that while he was admittedly a very poor 3B, he wasn't like the worst defender in the sport level bad out there. He wasn't Nick Castellanos or Kyle Schwarber, he was bad but not god awful. So to fully give up on him as a defender altogether and not even consider shifting him down the defensive spectrum to first before he's even 30 is very weird. Seems to me like telling him to put his glove away forever this soon was as silly as anything else in this whole ordeal. Were the Red Sox really all that concerned about not having Triston Casas with his middling projections and pre arb salary playing first every day? Certainly it makes sense to have Bregman take over 3B full time, but surely there was some other resolution to this mess that involved Devers playing in the field while not hurting his team.

    Unless they sent Santander back I don't really envision how Devers would fit on this team. Barger and Ernie have been crushing it at 3B and are cheap, Vlad is here forever, we have a DH/RF signed for 4 more years while Springer continues to decline defensively...where was Devers supposed to play? Who was he being moved for, surely a salary dump from our end would have been involved.

    His legs/hamstrings are made out of wet paper towel.

    Name This Player - June 15

    Their bats are legitimately excellent though, they're currently the 7th best offense in the league. However, they combine this with horrific defense (3rd worst) which makes their position player group as a whole only a mediocre 14th best in WAR. The pitching staff is genuinely horrific though, I think people expected a bit more out of it since they spent money on acquiring Severino and Springs, with some mediocre incumbents like Mitch Spence and JP Sears and one of the better relief arms in the game in Mason Miller, but the wheels have totally fallen off on them. Severino has been fine, but everyone else has been a disappointment across the board.

    I went to look for a video of him at some point last season to see if he's always had the short arm action motion that a lot of new pitchers, particularly those who train with these programs, have. Found this: Seems like the short arm action was always there, but they've cleaned up the length of it on the follow through and now it's noticeably more explosive. As mentioned in the article, cleaning up the extra movements in the delivery likely is leading to less wasted energy, in return for more explosiveness and improved stuff across the board.

    Lazaro Estrada keeps putting up quality starts one after the other. ERA a little inflated but the K/BB numbers look good and he's limiting the bombs to a reasonable amount.
  10. Orgfiller
    I mean, we've reached a point where Bowden Francis might be the worst active SP in baseball. Like, the bullpen contingency of Lauer/Schultz/anyone is literally maybe 1-2 wins better on the basis of not actively hurting the team. Scherzer's health can't be trusted at all, and you can always piggyback Lauer with Civale, or have a 6-man rotation to give the old guys some extra rest in between starts which they benefit from.
  11. Orgfiller
    Can't just say that without dropping some links.
  12. Orgfiller
    That last pitch from Yariel was nasty, 99 with a ton of armside run.
  13. Orgfiller
    I think he tried to push for another basehit there. Just a poor bunt.
  14. Orgfiller
    Turnbull looking like a total crafty vet out there. Saving his best bullets for the bigs like any true vet would.
  15. Orgfiller
    Not a chance Ernie was out there, but no definitive angle to prove it otherwise.
  16. Orgfiller
    Common Fisher dominance. Has to be available for a second inning.
  17. Orgfiller
    Nifty little play from Schneider there, shades of our other platinum glove 2B.
  18. Orgfiller
    Silly mistake from Lauer, but we can get that run back.
  19. Orgfiller
    The offense is much more fluid without the worst hitter on the team on it, you don't say lol. As long as he comes back healthy Santander will still be a big part of this lineup, his '22-'24 seasons as a switch hitter will be a godsend to the lineup once he finally gets it going.
  20. Orgfiller
    Talk about stacking the righties against Liberatore. Makes sense, as expected he's much worse against the opposite handedness, and it helps that two of the guys are switch hitters to not hurt the late game pinch hitting opportunities. Ernie is 100% being PH for Barger if the need arises, Robertson might see a shot for either Schneider or Straw.
  21. Orgfiller
    Oh okay, yeah they were definitely teammates in at least '23 and '24, and obviously recently with Roden being demoted to AAA. Kind of a dumb point to make on my part since they obviously know each from professional ball.
  22. Orgfiller
    Ah cool, I didn't want to make that assumption since they were 3 draft classes apart but figured there was a chance.
  23. Orgfiller
    Happy for Will Robertson. Same college and similar signing bonus as Alan Roden, wonder if they know each other in some capacity. Always nice to see a guy that's been grinding through the minors get a well deserved shot. Guys like this can sometimes come up and have a small run of success before the league catches up to them. The power is very legit, I could see him start his career on a heater before inevitably cooling off, and of course would be nice if he was a legit strong side platoon bat, something like a Matt Adams type who can somewhat play the outfield.
  24. Orgfiller
    Blame mlb.com for this one.
  25. Orgfiller
    In terms of delivery alone, to me he looks like Mike Fiers with heat.
