WC play in game is a game to get into the playoffs. I want them in the playoffs before the end of September. The less crapshooting the better.

He was brought in for his glove. A below average hitter and slightly above average glove isn't good enough for 1B here. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=3086&position=1B Maybe his glove is just overrated to begin with?

http://www.pressherald.com/2017/08/15/on-baseball-for-those-in-the-know-devers-success-was-inevitable/ “It’s nothing out of the ordinary. That’s Devers,” said Sea Dogs catcher Jordan Procyshen, a teammate for three seasons. “I think he’s not going to let any moment be too big for him,” said Sea Dogs teammate Mike Olt, a former major leaguer with the Cubs and White Sox. “His natural ability will take over.” “I don’t know what people are surprised about this,” tweeted former Sea Dogs infielder Mauricio Dubon (now in the Brewers’ organization). “He’s been doing this since he signed!” “He doesn’t just want to be good. He wants to be great. And he works hard at it.” Febles praised Devers’ defense, which has greatly improved since 2015, when he was considered a liability at third base.

Right. Winning a game with an aggressive baserunning play doesn't make up for getting thrown out by 10 ft, triple plays or other nonsense we've seen. Aggressive running is fine. Stupid running is stupid.

AL Most Valuable Player Carl Yastrzemski will take part in the ceremony along with Cy Young Award winner Jim Lonborg. Other notable players scheduled to attend are Mike Andrews, Gary Bell, Bucky Brandon, Ken Harrelson, Dave Morehead, Rico Petrocelli, Billy Rohr, Mike Ryan, Jose Santiago, Reggie Smith, Lee Stange, George Thomas, and Gary Waslewski. This only lists 15 guys, but lists Rohr and Bell who I didn't catch. Maybe the 17 were the 15 I mentioned with Bell and Rohr with Moses not counting? IDK. Globe story doesn't list Fischer or Landis who were definitely there per photographic evidence.

http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2017/08/17/images/mlbf_1735555883_th_45.jpg I'm too young to help out with names if I don't have the back of the jersey. Take a look.

I don't buy into the Butterfly Effect.
-
Mine are always in a bunch.
-
They gave up 3 top 100 prospects. The Sox didn't have that to give up. It's not up for question.
-
Addition by subtraction when you get rid of clubhouse cancers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Especially since these guys are a .500 team on the road.
-
Brentz OPS: 1.059 Castillo: 1.085 You're right. Brentz is about the same as Castillo, but much much cheaper.
-
WC game appearances don't count. Sox need to win the division.
-
So the players don't need coaches then?
-
We'll never know so here's a strawman argument. Um, ok?
-
Sox didn't have the trade pieces to make it work the way the Yanks did.
-
Giants and A's have met 4 times as well.
-
Disregarded?
-
He was right under their noses the whole time.
-
The TS reverse mojo has worked on Betts, Beni and XBo so far. Can we really rip into Hanley over the next few days so that his bat wakes up a little?
-
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=14678&position=2B/3B/SS#fieldingadvanced In Tzu-Wei Lin's SSS, he's been a far superior defensive player. It's not even close.
-
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13154&position=2B/3B#fieldingadvanced Hernandez is NOT a decent 2B. We can say SSS, but in the SSS we have to go on, he's a poor fielder.
-
Because Brentz is hitting lefties even better and is much cheaper.
-
Maybe next year. Definitely not this year.
