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.

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 put together a nice 8-hit postseason by mostly sweet-spotting (8-32° launch angle) flares.

I’d rather Durbin than anyone they gave up, but he’s nothing special, and in the context of Breslow and Bailey openly talking about Harrison pitching in the front of a rotation it’s absolutely pathetic.

Red Sox nuggets from the Astros front: Sox and Pirates are 2 of 5 teams on the Isaac Paredes trade market. Trade talks heating up. Astros prefer Abreu over Duran; Sox do not to and have not wanted to move Abreu. If attention gets focused on Duran, Astros would need to shift money around.

Started digging in on a roster overview and the simple takeaway is it'll be flabbergasting if another sizeable move doesn't happen. The position player group mix feels so ill-fitting, don't love the lineup options, trickles down to a weird bench. Cora can do it, but this is hard mode for no reason.

I post these charts about 100 times during a season. This is what the 6th worst "quality of contact" looked like in MLB last year, out of 309 players.

In the 2000s, there have been 4,461 individual MLB seasons with at least 450 plate appearances. Last year, Kiner-Falefa's season ranked 4,215th.

I guess add Casey Schmitt to the maybe available infielder options now that the Giants signed Arraez? Another imperfect option, but I'm more interersted there than a lot of the other names mentioned for months.

Sox likely would have hired him to be Chief Baseball Officer, but he was one of the long list of people who declined an interview. Rough couple of years with the Twins since for the Massachusetts native.

Rafaela & Duran continue to be the names I hear about in trade stuff the most, with a hint of Bello recently. Abreu stuff seems more like outside wishful thinking, but who knows what Bres is thinking. Recent idea discussed was trading for a stopgap 2B/3B and trading an outfielder for a top prospect.

Gavin Fien was thought to be the Red Sox preferred choice in the draft, but Texas took him 3 picks earlier. Now goes to Toboni in Washington.
Trade summary:
Rangers get - MacKenzie Gore
Nationals get - Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Yeremy Cabrera

David Stearns got a closer, setup man, #1, third baseman, first baseman, second baseman, and center fielder this winter and I have no idea if it's going to grade out as an A or an F.

Looking at Isaac Paredes' trends in speed, arm strength, defensive runs saved, and outs above average
Breslow: “It’s really important we improve our defense, particularly our infield defense. … Any additions we make, we’ll be very mindful of defense.”
