Red Sox 40-man Roster (Updated on 04/18)

[HarpoSF]

Well, good for the Noodle-boy; I think he signed with the Padres on his birthday (14 February), too. San Diego may just give the d*mn D*dgers a run for their money in the NL West this year... but I still fully expect dem B*ms to be the team to beat in MLB, anyway.

(And, Ken, get the h*ck offa the Intro-Nets and enjoy your Hawai'ian get-away. D*mmit!!!)

I can do both you know Harpo.

Michael Chavis has a minor league invite to Dodgers' Spring Training camp.

First televised Spring Training game tomorrow. Finally, live baseball again.

The back end #4 & #5 SP looks, um…weak

Newcomb could easily bomb of course and is a bit of a flier, but Fitts had a really good 4 starts at the end of last year, and has been excellent this spring. He's actually our #9 prospect too.

No Trayce Thompson

 

[HarpoSF]

And I am still not completely sold on Aroldis Chipmunk as the designated Closer. We'll see...

Aroldis Chipmunk

 

[Takket]

so what is the plan for Anthony then? Is he expected to be called up this season?

 

[HarpoSF]

Can you just imagine the RED SOX Starting Pitchers line-up if they still had Chris Sale and Nate Eovaldi?! Jeez!

Except in that case we wouldn't have Crochet or Buehler.

Updated with the IL moves plus Newcomb and Campbell added to roster.

Dodgers do that sort of thing with pitchers all the time.

He literally couldn't throw at all during spring, which is why he never played in the field at all.
