    Once Kerry Wood and Mark Prior lost their careers, I don't think we'll ever get back to the "just pitch through it" times.

    No, and Kristian is just fine down there. If a player can't be mentally strong enough to deal with a demotion, they won't be mentally strong enough for an MLB career.

    As long as the pitcher can't throw anything above 92, Grissom can crush it.

    I don't want Hicks anywhere near a closer role. Whitlock? Wilson?
  5. mvp 78
    I thought they would have been promoted a little sooner, but the timing suggests that this was done in conjunction with the trade deadline/college signees and all the movement that has to happen in the lower levels.

    They have Seager, Semien, Adolis, Joc, Josh Smith... It's a lineup that could get hot. Adolis had almost 40 HR two years ago. Semien had multiple 6+ fWAR seasons. Joc's wRC+ was 151 last season. He had a 144 wRC+ in SF!!! Red Sox holes: 1b, 2b, SS, DH, SP4, SP5, CL. Rangers holes: 1b, C, ?

    Good thing Breslow turned down trading him for https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luis-castillo/15689/stats?position=P in the offseason.

    Some prospects get a little too overhyped (Miguel Bleis, Gilberto Jiminez, Antoni Flores, etc).
  9. mvp 78
    Except that the step down in defense from Rafaela to Duran may be more than the step down from Rafaela to Sogard at 2b.

    Through Aug 31. Yikes. Did Ohtani get put on leave? I don't remember.
  11. mvp 78
    They aren't trading Duran now. Rafaela isn't a good IFer though. He's most valuable in CF no matter what.
  12. mvp 78
    Maybe we can send them Romero and they can rehab together?
  13. mvp 78
    It's all intertwined now, as presented by DAFTKINGS! Do you want easy access to yell at tonight's starter right after the game? Slide into his dm's with promo code: justakidsgame.

    Another win for Good Ole' Rob Manfred!
  16. mvp 78
    His numbers in AAA are worse this year. He's most likely behind Kyle Harrison on the depth chart. He was called up earlier in the year and didn't look up. He also doesn't pitch very well out of the pen.
  17. mvp 78
    They had him top 10 at one point!

    The old adage is that pitching wins in the playoffs. The Rangers are 2nd in MLB in fWAR. I believe they underperformed in the first half. If that team is starting a run, it may be tough for the Sox to keep up. Red Sox lost to the Cubs and Phillies and those teams looked much more legitimate to me. The Dodgers are now on a 5-13 run and will set a record for most pitchers used in a season. I don't know why they continue to collect pitchers like Snell and Glasnow when they already have Gonsolin and May. Even Ohtani is a mighty risk for them if they are relying on him to be a starter.

    Fitts is having a nice reverse split season. Kind of weird since hitters are really teeing off on his slider. You think that would be LHB's doing so. Buxton is having a fun season for the Twins and is guaranteed to stay healthy for the whole series. Willi Castro may be traded while one of these games is going on. He may even just swap clubhouses. Harrison Bader might put a couple onto the Monster. Paddack tomorrow. TBD pitching Wednesday.
  21. mvp 78
    They did add Bregman and Crochet this offseason. The expectations were higher than .500 this season.
  22. mvp 78
    Baseball America has him ranked 29th in MiLB. He had been higher.
  23. mvp 78
    I'd give the Sox the edge at C, OF (if Rafaela is moved back), 3B. If Chapman is out, the pens are about equal. Rangers have a better rotation, even if you break it down to a short series. TEX is the 2nd best pitching team in MLB per fWAR. If the bats get hot, they'll make a run down the stretch.

    Woods Richardson is fine, but the cost of lettering his jerseys is probably too much for Henry TBH!
  25. mvp 78
    Overuse? He's 19!
