Neto was a pipe dream.
If they traded Abreu for Paredes, the Sox would have done even worse this series.
We don't know the downstream effects are of trading for Marte. No Ranger? No Early (included in trade)?
Overreactions are just what people do. Like you said "every year."
My overreaction:
I will say that I'm a little annoyed that the Sox didn't seem to have a plan in how to handle ABS and still look clueless in extras. Narvaez's sacrifice bunt was done on his own and not called by the coaching staff. Huh? Jarren Duran getting caught on 1b. This team just plays dumb baseball and they can't do that if they are going to be in a lot of low scoring games. The further away we get from 2018, the less faith I have in the coaching.
He's never thrown more than 120 IP in a year before. Having him throw 100 pitches in March is a recipe for disaster for Early if you want him pitching down the stretch.
On Weissert, if you have Suarez down 0-2, why put a ball on a tee for him? Weissert has a sweeper and Suarez loves to k. Just throw something out of the zone and get him to chase!
To me, WAR isn’t the end all be all. Cal had a monster season and played great defense at a hard position. Judge had a monster offensive season but is mediocre defensively. Due to the defense, I give my vote to Cal.
