It's not jaw dropping, but would be very curious as Springs at least had a vague idea of how to get MLB hitters out. Hall just flat out sucked and proved to be an org arm at best since his stuff is so fringy. 88mph out of the pen isn't getting it done when you have no control (10.38 BB/9).
Hall's game log is just embarrassing. Not one good outing. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/matt-hall/18076/game-log?position=P&season=
I agree it would be no big loss, but they need bodies. It's much hard to replace every guy and expect them all to perform better than Brewer/Springs/Weber. You keep those guys around until you are certain that all the guys below them on the depth chart are as good as Brewer/Springs/Weber are. Maybe there's a rule V guy you think has better upside than those 3? Maybe there's a guy another team tries to pass through waivers? That's when you dump those guys. Right now, they got to get rid of the moldy bread before they throw out the stale bread.
Still a higher winning % than the all time Seattle Mariners mark of .470 (3246-3655). AND the Sox record includes one of the most dreadful of all time seasons in a small sample of 1.37 years.
In order for the Mariners to get above .500, they'd have to have a winning percentage of .600 (97 wins per year) for over 12 straight years.
As a reliever in regards to the other guys thrown out there, yes. You can't really just dump everyone and expect all your reclamations to work out. You should keep guys like Weber, Mazza, Valdez and Brewer around because their replacements would most likely be worse (as we saw from Triggs, Covey, et al). Springs will probably stick around too. He pitched well until the last week or so.
Brewer and Weber were successful (in Sox terms) out of the bullpen. I think they stick around for next year. However, Bloom could dump 20 guys off the 40 man and it wouldn't affect this team's chances all that much.

Fortnite is still really popular, but I think it's probably more of a casual or kids game at this point.
Aside from League of Legends (probably the most famous esports game), I think Dota 2 is probably the "cooler" esports game at the moment. I haven't heard much about the others and don't really play any online games to begin with.

The Sox now have enough room to add Pedroia, Sale, Rodriguez, Brewer, and Hart back on to the 40-man once JBJ hits free agency.
Later they will need to continue the bloodletting for Groome, Mata, Seabold, Wong, Potts, and Rosario.
