My offer for Neto would have been colossal and impossible for the Angels to refuse.

Whether Gray or Suarez follows Crochet in the rotation to start the season won't be decided until the end of camp and how they want to line things up for the first few series.

Cora says that all of Kristian Campbell's regular work and playing time will be in the outfield this spring, but he will get individual work at 2B and 3B to stay fresh in those spots because if he's hitting, they will need to find him at-bats.

yeah, it's the blue box from the KBO.
and the top and bottom are based on batters measured heights this spring. I don’t care if it's smaller, as long as it's all consistent. I wish it was total ABS, not challenge.

Durbin and Contreras both had friendly zones called against them last year. They had lower catcher framing runs than any Red Sox batter. Umpires struggled with the top and bottom zones for Durbin. An interesting ABS case upcoming.

Finally confirmed that JetBlue Park has upgraded to Hawk-Eye / Statcast in time for spring training and the implementation of automatic ball strikes. They were one of last spring facilities still using trackman. Most interesting part will be if real young pitchers sneak into games for their data.

Yeah, probably just wait and see how things shake out. Most likely that someone not in the org right now will be in the pen one way or another, is my guess. In my mind it's chap whit slaten x x moran x watson and the rest is not whatever, but it's likely going to be okay.

last season the red sox had 32 starting pitcher months where a player threw >10 IP as a starter. that's left to right. the best was early’s 32% K-BB% in sept, the worst was buehler's -2% K-BB% in aug.

Yes, the last 3 orange dots were Bello's May, Sept, and April.

The first dot is Early's September, 32% K-BB%. He's still here, so it's there for last year and overlapped with this year. Then a few Crochet dots.... then a bunch of Suarez and Gray dots in orange that are much better months then the corresponding best months by Red Sox starters last year.

The blue line is every Red Sox SP month last year (>10 IP) and the corresponding K-BB%.
Orange is Crochet, Suarez, Gray, Bello, Oviedo, and Early.
So the overlapping first 5 are Early's September and 4 Crochet months. Then you can see the rising tide of the new rotation.

i agree on all accounts.

i'm guessing they look at durbin at 2b for a bit? the word has been the prefer to play mayer at 3B, so I'm not sure this should change that plan. idk

My initial thought was he's due to break a finger in spring training.

Durbin was apparently atrocious defensively in spring training last year, which bled into April, but then he became quite good at third base.

If Durbin is going to "use the Monster to his advantage" and all that stuff, he's going to need to be much better handling inside pitches.

Durbin had a .334 OPB last year, and that was while leading the NL in hit by pitches (24).
HBP for batters has modest year-to-year correlation, so it's more than just luck.
Durbin's HBP rate
5.9% NCAA
3.4% MiLB
4.7% MLB
