Chapman is right there.
-
It's a warm, tender embrace.
-
notin is in fourth place in the TalkSox fantasy league after having a spat about "actually" being in first place and stating that he'd be in first place at the very end anyway.

The problem is that there is a certain segment on here that just complains about everything no matter what. If Bloom didn't trade Vazquez they'd be jumping up and down about Bloom doing nothing yesterday. That he was able to turn an expiring deal into two upper level prospects seems fine to me. The worry was that it would be A ball guys, but it was AA/AAA guys so that argument goes away. Bloom even got a replacement for Vazquez, but dumping the second worst contract in the bullpen. Furthermore, just to stop the bleeding in the OF, which many people were outraged over yesterday, they got Tommy Pham for a PTBNL or cash considerations. Is Pham a great player? No. Does he have a higher fWAR than any current Sox OFer? Yes. Are people still complaining about this move that only cost a f***ing PTBNL? Yes. Why? IDK.

Seems like someone is a little crabby for being in 4th place now…
-
It was a horrible trade. However, you stated they has to cover for injured Kiké, but Renfroe missed a lot of time too.

Scherff

If Bloom was unable to unload the full Diekman contract, I’m happy.
-
Complain when he doesn’t make moves. Complain when he does make moves. Got it.
-
Pham isn’t great, but he’ll be an upgrade from one of the guys they are playing every night right now.

Prior to the season.
-
No jokes, sir. This is a serious business.
-
He was only charged with disorderly conduct. Guess it wasn’t a big deal after all.

That shrubbery…

I’m sure they’ll beat it to death.

Really hard to defend.

Here's the return for Christian Vazquez: Enmanuel Valdez has played 1B/2B/3B/LF/RF and is hitting .327/.410/.606 w/21 HR in 378 PA across AA and AAA. Wilyer Abreu has played all three OF spots and is hitting .249/.399/.459 with 15 HR and 23 SB in 411 PA in AA.

The catcher they traded for was arrested for public masterbation.
-
Dumped Diekman for him.
-
You're right, I just looked at the game log. He only started one more game after that. It can't be due to punishment because they've let Kutter become a starter.
-
It just seems like the plan the past 3 years has been kinda "we'll figure it out as we go." 2020: Starting rotation includes Weber and a bullpen day. That bullpen. 2021: Original plan was Kiké at 2b. Cordero getting a lot of run early in the season for some reason. Uncertainty at 1b. 2022: Continued uncertainty at 1b with a backup of Travis Shaw. OF was very LHB heavy and the only idea was to platoon Arroyo out there. Starting rotation of the walking wounded. Another bullpen hodgepodge (Barnes was a known concern at this point, Diekman "replaced" Ottavino, no defined role for Houck/Whitlock, Taylor injury). I will say that a lot of us wanted Jose Iglesias as a bench bat and that would have been the right call over Arroyo in retrospect.
-
I thought it was because Houck was piggybacking with Hill?
-
@NBCSEdgeBB Rich Hill (knee) returning on Wednesday vs. Astros
-
To me, it seemed like relying on too many older/injury risk pitchers (Hill, Wacha, Paxton, Sale, Eovaldi) was a bad idea. I'm also interested to see what the post mortem will be on Matt Barnes someday.
