    Hicks doesn't have any options. How would they get him to AAA? DFA? That'd be an interesting move.
  2. mvp 78
    The only drawback to OAA is how it treats balls hit to or over OF walls, especially shorter porches. It assumes that Duran can still get to some balls hit onto the Monster for example because it scores everything by trajectory and ignores ballpark architecture.

    Wellington Castillo.

    They are playing well against bad competition, but everyone is going to need AB's going forward. It's up to Cora to juggle it.

    I don't really remember what happened with Buch in '16. He was awful for the whole year in and out of the rotation a bunch and had a 15 day IL stint. Seems like he was better as a reliever: 571 OPS, 3.57 ERA

    I'm not saying I agree with what Paisan is writing....
  7. mvp 78
    I wonder if he knows former Red Sox Jose Awfulman?

    5/24 - 6/11 835 OPS 6/13 - 6/23 330 OPS 6/24 - 7/9 765 OPS I can forgive him for having a rough week and a half as he adjusts to MLB pitching.

    Keeping him up because they feel bad that they didn't take the Hamilton for Castillo trade offer last offseason. 🤪
  10. mvp 78
    Those are the rumors. They've also said they are willing to keep all the guys they have, but send Mayer down to AAA WHICH IS WILD...
  11. mvp 78
    Three weeks to go. Who will the Sox trade or trade for? Passan suggests a deal for Helsley.
  12. mvp 78
    That's what 2 TJS will do to a pitcher.

    Anthony's underlying metrics have been great for a while, it just took a while for the numbers to catch up. Giolito has been fantastic for 6 starts now. It was going to be bumpy coming back from TJS, but maybe he's all the way back? Bello seems to be past that 4.2 IP mental barrier. 6 of his last 7 starts have been QS. I'm good if he's a legit 3. Just keep Crochet healthy, get through this tough stretch of games and they'll be able to make a run at the end of August (pushover city: PIT, BAL, MIA, NYY). As long as they don't completely fall apart the next few weeks, maybe they do become buyers?

    And he didn't fix the logjam in the OF for some reason or have a plan for where the big three would play when promoted.
  15. mvp 78
    The problem with the Espinoza trade was that Espinoza should have been used on a better pitcher, not a guy like Pomeranz who was on a crazy run just because he had a new pitch and his time was almost up. It was obvious at the time that Pomeranz was having the greatest stretch of his career, but that it was highly unlikely to continue (and his first 3 starts with the Sox showed that). Espinoza was a highly ranked prospect and continued to be highly ranked through the rest of that season.

    What's there to like about Hicks? Alcala has at least performed.
  17. mvp 78
    They won't lose him to free agency, he's just out of options after this season. They could just keep him on the MLB roster, but it doesn't make much sense at this point.
  18. mvp 78
    Will Clark: "FU Will Flemming." I don't know why Flemming felt the need to bring this up. Especially if Clark wasn't onboard. 🙃
  19. mvp 78
    Hicks 2.2 IP, 6.75 ERA, 2.25 WHIP Harrison 13 IP, 7.62 ERA, 1.92 WHIP Tibbs 18 G, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 737 OPS

    You posted way more on vacation than I did. That’s for sure. Even squabbled with other posters. Wild vacation behavior IMO.
  21. mvp 78
    I'm not sure it's about condemning Rafaela. He's on a bit of a hot streak, but I'm still concerned about his extremely high chase rate (3rd percentile) and high whiff rate (34th percentile). That's the recipe for a bit of a rollercoaster ride IMO.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think we see Anthony playing much CF. Maybe we see more Duran in CF like tonight? IDK. Rafaela hasn't had many days off, so maybe they are just giving him a breather. Now that Duran isn't penciled in as the everyday leadoff guy, the lineups may be very different day to day.

    Grissom would have fit in well with some of my 10U softball players at last night's practice. 🙃
  25. mvp 78
    60 day IL for Crawford, Winckowski, Casas, Slaten, Hendriks, Sandoval and now Burdi. Plus Breggie, Dobbins, Houck, Guerrero and Kelly are on the IL. The training room is busy AF.
