Hamilton at least plays a different position. I can see the argument for keeping him. He plays 2B/SS/CF. He's very fast and can actually steal bases. If his bat ticked up with an approach adjustment, he would get a quick call.
-
SUSPECT is what we call 'em 'round here, partner...
-
DD likes his guys. He even traded for CJ Chatham. He has no connection to Ort.

I agree. Ward is more egregious than Song and it's not really close. Even if Song works out, it's hard to justify banking on an unknown commodity like that.
-
It was $100,000. Maybe they catch lightning in a bottle? I think it's interesting because it's a great unknown. It helps that it's the DD/Bloom dynamic too. Lots of story lines to talk about with this one. It's something we've never seen before.
-
Like I said, Sox should scout him and send Brasier over there.
-
I believe Whitlock had a better k/bb as a reliever than Schreiber.
-
Honestly, I only have one pair of slides and they are only for the beach or when the no-see-ums aren't absolutely going crazy.
-
Song was great in a SSS in 2019. So are many other pitchers. We have no idea what he would do against batters higher than rookie ball. He didn't even throw a pitch in Salem or Greenville. The jump to MLB is lightyears from that.
-
Philly is trying to win a WS, for them to keep Song on the roster doesn't make more sense. I can see why WSH, PIT or OAK would stash him though. I think it's more likely that's how he sticks in MLB this season.
-
If they phantom DL him, the Sox will file a grievance. It would be pretty ugly.
-
He's definitely a SUSPECT with a capital S. He hasn't even pitched in 3 years. Comparisons to other players like Whitlock or Sale fall short as they were at least throwing off a mound during their rehabs and were working with MLB organizations. This guy was on his own and didn't have any baseball training regiment.
-
He said he wasn't even consistently playing catch.
-
No. He himself stated he hasn't thrown off a mound since 2019. DD said they don't know if he'll show up throwing 85.
-
He's 93 on MLB. Bleacher Report isn't generally a great resource IMO.
-
Per Noah Song: He didn’t throw off a mound between 2019 and last week. I'm sure it'll be fine.
-
No, because, if that were true he wouldn't need to file an exemption! He was supposed to serve for 5 years. He hasn't finished that obligation.
-
Too hot/humid to wear slippers down here. I tried that the first winter because of the tile floor, but it wasn't enjoyable. No slippers!
-
I think they are both SUSPECTS!
-
His request for exemption had been denied previously. Why would he assume it would go through this time?
-
They need to attract some more young kids to grow up and help bravely shoot down balloons of the dastardly NIBBB.
-
Some are even closed-toed!
-
Nobody knew. Whatever happened, happened very recently. The best case scenario was for Song to be out this season and to come back next year when he'd only have to be on the 26 man roster for 60 days instead of the whole year.
-
Again, they like Brasier because of his low bb rate and believe his end of the season turnaround will bleed into this season. I'm not entirely sold on it. I don't think there's a lot of upside with him and at $2M you may as well just move on IMO. With Ort, I guess he has options and throws hard? He has experience closing games in AAA? IDK. I would have dumped him before some of the recent DFA's for sure. I guess we all have our Julio Lugos.
