  1. There's not one hitter in AAA that would be interesting to see in BOS. POR has 4 guys that are worth watching for now, but only one that could be an impact MLB guy.
  2. If you're mad about Bello at 0.0 fWAR, just look at Watson's 0.0 fWAR. He has 48.2 IP. He has a 6.20 xERA! I don't even know why he's on the roster except to be a mop up guy.
  3. Duh. It's just silly to infer that all the problem players aren't Breslow's fault since they were acquired by another CBO. Breslow has been in charge for several year now. He had the ability to move the guys that are now playing like garbage. Gray/Ranger/Contreras have been great. Have all the moves been great? No. Durbin was asleep for the first two months. He didn't make enough additions to the bullpen. The reason the Sox are 7 games under .500 is Craig Breslow. So many people got hurt! Shouldn't Story missing most of the season be expected at this point? Pitching injuries are the name of the game these days, but he moved most of their depth away. Narvaez can't hit. Gasper can't field. Mayer wasn't ready last season and him missing time isn't surprising. Aside from Roman going down and Duran being a shell of what he was, where are the big shockers for this team? Relying on a headcase like Duran seems bad for business. Relying on a guy with less than one year of service time to lead your offense feels rather foolish as well.
  4. They should have been able to develop him. The last DUDE they were able to develop was Devers. Every guy since then has just been a guy. There's still hope for Roman next season.
  5. To me, the biggest two losses since Henry came here were Mookie and Orsillo. I go back and forth on which I would have rather kept. Both seem kind of unforgiveable. I think you can make a case that you needed to move Devers (not that I'd agree), Sox just haven't done well replacing his bat.
  6. Abrams is a decent player. Sox should be able to develop somebody like him, not trade away a potential ace for him.
  7. I wouldn't trade Tolle since he has TOTR starter upside.
  8. He going to be leading off at some point?
  9. We used to joke about the Sox taking a SS every year, but they should probably take one if the right guy is available. I'm sure it'll be 13 pitchers and 7 hitters again though.
  10. The heap of suck is just the season and the current trajectory. In order to get out of there, they can't keep doing the same thing (i.e. sticking with the same roster). Developing offensive players is too much to ask of this org these days. I think Craig used a wish with a monkey's paw to fix the pitching development and didn't realize what else could happen.
  11. Making substantial roster adjustments to the team prior to the season in 2022. Umm...
  12. CHW pitching is 27th in BB/9. Last night's starter is 150 out of 152 in bb rate for starters over 40 innings.
  13. Not many people raised concerns at the time about the cost when his deal was signed. I guess I'm just not a buyer's remorse kinda guy. We all knew he'd end up a 1B/DH at some point.
  14. HOU has a really pathetic OF aside from Cam Smith. Not sure they are interested in Duran or that their field would be a good fit for his swing.
  15. They weren't apt to trade for him last offseason. Why would the Stros want him now? Sox missed their window TBH. There is no way Breslow is going to get remotely close to what he wants to get for Duran. Sox are stuck with him unless they get a new CBO.
  16. Monasterio -0.7 fWAR Gasper -0.3 fWAR All the negative fWAR pitchers are Breslow guys.
  17. Something is better than nothing, which is what many people were expecting just a few weeks ago.
  18. OPS 537 Mar/Apr 949 May 833 June 1150 July 738 Home 826 Away
