    He had over 2 fWAR in 14 and 15. He was only at 1.4 last year. He's also one of the slowest guys on the team. In a game winning situation, I'd pinch run Sam Travis for Holt. I'd like my utility guy be able to run. Nunez on his "gimpy knee" is still the second fastest guy on the team.

    Last night, I had a dream that I was at Yankees stadium and Beni hit a HR to RF to start off the game. For whatever reason, he was really emotional on his way to 1b. It was very sweet. Then I woke up and remembered that we had fat Beni this year. :*(

    Cheering for the other team's players in a game thread is a bit of a faux pas to me.

    Holt hasn't been all that productive since 2015. He's constantly injured and doesn't have the upside of Nunez or Pearce. It's an easy call for me. I also think you could sneak him through waivers and get him to AAA.

    Pedroia - go to 12 pitchers and drop the lowest man on the totem pole (Weber) Holt - DFA Holt Johnson - drop Brewer Eovaldi - drop Thornburg (good chance some other pitcher is injured before then though)

    Ockimey, Howlett and Duran hit taters on Saturday. Howlett is starting to come around and had a nice weekend. Charlie Madden had two taters yesterday after being called up to Portland.

    @OverTheMonster Red Sox option Josh Smith and Óscar Hernández to make room for David Price and Sandy León

    https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/05/20/koji-uehara-has-retired/ Koji Uehara has retired from baseball. Uehara, 44, has spent the past two seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, which is the where he began his career way back in 1998. He spent eight years there as a starter, winning 20 games in his rookie season, then one year as a closer and one year in swingman duties before coming to the United States. Once in the majors he pitched for four different major league teams over nine seasons — the Orioles, Rangers, Red Sox and Cubs — from 2009-2017. In that time he posted an excellent 2.66 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 572/78 K/BB ratio in 480.2 innings and notched 95 saves. He won a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2013 and was an All-Star in 2014. Uehara’s last big league stint in America with the Cubs in 2017, for whom he posted a 3.98 ERA (111 ERA+) in 49 games. Happy trails to an excellent reliever.

    Thunder gave up that HR, not Porcello.
  10. mvp 78
    Thunder lost this game, not Cora.

    Don’t post in my gamethreads with this crap. Damn, dude.
  12. mvp 78
    You jinxed him and he went limp. WTF?

    Yup, not enough AB’s this year.
  16. mvp 78
    Chatham and Dalbec are put on the 40 man. Ockimey is traded.
  17. mvp 78
    @OverTheMonster Sandy León placed on paternity leave with Óscar Hernández getting called up and Chandler Shepherd being DFA’d
  18. mvp 78
    Not sure why Curletta and Travis are even on the 40 man to begin with.
  19. mvp 78
  20. mvp 78
    Duran is more ready to move up than Dalbec is. Let Dalbec stay in AA for another month or two.
  21. mvp 78
    If the Sox choose to carry 12 pitchers, they can squeeze him onto the roster and keep him as a part time guy. Maybe him playing a part time roll and hitting below .200 will nudge him out the door? What happens when Holt comes back? Either DFA Pearce or Holt. I'd keep Pearce over Holt at this point. There's a very good chance you DFA Holt and no one claims him.

    Top pitching prospect Darwinzon Hernandez set career highs in both innings pitched and strikeouts with only a shaky second inning serving to blight an otherwise stellar outing. Hernandez went seven innings for the first time as a professional, striking out 11 and walking only two. He have up four runs (three earned), all in the second. Most importantly, the left-hander was efficiently pounding the strike zone, needing only 102 pitches to get through those seven frames, and throwing 72 of them for strikes. Jarren Duran when 3 for 5 and is hitting .413. He needs to be called up at the end of the month. No taters for the second day in a row.

    I just don't want him sliding head first into 1b. He was always a big offender of that dumb play. If he wants to get dirty the rest of the time, I'm ok with it.

    Trying to equate Pedroia with Brentz, a new low for rationality on TalkSox. Brentz is NOT on the 40 man roster. Brentz does NOT have a cap hit of 13.75M for the next 3 years.
  25. mvp 78
    We figured out that clutch exists, so we got this one too.
