Going to miss betances

he's been great, but he was pretty special in 2014-15. you could rely on him for 4+ outs.

Happy Anniversary, Boston!

You shut your whore mouth!!!

That Ruth trade really transformed 2 franchises. Made the Yankees what they became and led to a Red Sox curse that lasted over 80 years.

Just projections, but how ZIPS sees Gleyber Torres' next 5 seasons:

2020: .287/.348/.557; 136 OPS+; 41 HR
2021: .292/.357/.588; 146 OPS+; 44 HR
2022: .289/.357/.586; 145 OPS+; 44 HR
2023: .289/.359/.602; 150 OPS+; 47 HR
2024: .287/.360/.601; 150 OPS+; 47 HR

Yowza!

the 40+ home run projections are a bit surprising, but I guess it makes sense given that:

a) he hit 38 home runs in 144 games
b) he's only 23

Game time announced for meaningful baseball:


Yankees at Orioles 3:05PM March 26


I'm sure it'll be nice and balmy in Baltimore.

 

[nynasty]

So who do you all think will be managing the Red Sox in 2020?

Varitek? Roenicke?

 

[nynasty]

Maybe Pedroia?

I mean, they're paying him anyway..............

 

[nynasty]

Odds to be the Manager of the Boston Red Sox for Game 1 of the 2020 MLB season (Bovada):

Ron Roenicke -240
Jason Varitek +325
Matt Quatraro +400
Tim Hyers +950
Carlos Febles +1000
Dave Bush +1600

Then there's the Orioles...

2020 ZiPS Projections: Baltimore Orioles

At least every position projects to be above replacement level. But you're probably not a good team when Jose Iglesias is forecast to be one of your best players.

Just RETIRE already Pedey!!!

Per Bleacher Report : "Significant setback with knee"
