Bob Sacamano Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I did wonder who we would see at SS more out of Mendick or Garcia. Second game Mendick will be at SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys will need to get in there, get their 2 PAs, and then go do their lifts or data session or trainer session or whatever. yikes. Some folks are really ignorant and looking silly this morning. The games are FAKE guys. They don't count. The only thing that matters is being ready opening day.

I actually root for every player to have a slow/poor spring because I prescribe to the non-scientific and non-statistical due theory. All joking aside, I actually do not mind everyone having slow springs because players should be working on things they're not as good at; eg., only attacking off-speed pitches and letting fastballs slide, working counts deep to see more pitches, going the other way if your swing has been pull happy and on and on. Pitchers do the same thing. How many huge springs are followed up by slow Aprils and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there might be a negative correlation. It's been proven a million fucking times that other than health, spring games do not predict anything. Only thing I'm looking for is the pitchers to be throwing on their schedules, without setbacks, getting their innings and stamina built, and then the position players staying healthy and getting their bodies ready for 162 game grind. Maybe on top of that you look to see some young guys not looked overmatched, although even with that you never know if they are working on something or the guy they are facing is working on something and so even that must come with a huge grain of salt.

SoxAce Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I think he would absolutely opt out if that is true in 2027. Still a huge win however (if true). Edited February 24, 2020 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) 2 minutes ago, SoxAce said: Ain't it 3 FA years (if opt out is true)? He's a FA in 2024 and that contract can take him to FA in 2027 with the opt out (and 5 FA years at 2029). He's a free agent after the 2023 season. As mapped above, the 24-27 seasons (all guaranteed before the opt-out) makes it 4 FA years. Edited February 24, 2020 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said: I get it, and that's a fan mentality. Ricky needs to spread AB's out - give some guys more looks than others (like an Engel as he fights for that 4th OF spot) - and manage rest and etc for the starters. If I can think of one thing that means literally nothing in life, a spring training batting order might be at the top of my list. It figures that the guys who will get sent back to camp have some early action with the varsity squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox haven't entered spring training as a true contender since 2007. So the answer is probably yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
