Suarez is the only 2b/3b guy left via FA that is projected to be better than a 1 fWAR player. If it's not him, it's gotta be a trade. Truck Day is Monday, so we're getting closer and closer every day to calling it.
I'm fine if he's platooning at 2b with Romy and they've added another bat to the roster. If they're just putting Mayer at 3b and Hamilton at 2b, it'll be rough.
I think HRs are a very unpredictable stat. SLG is probably far more predictable than HRs TBH. The issue I had was that using playoff stats can get messy due to SSS.
No, the lockout was predetermined no matter what the Dodgers did. They will lockout every time the contract ends from here to eternity.
We can feel better about the owners and say the lockout is to fight against the Dodgers, but it's really to fight against the fans who want to watch baseball.
Nobody cared that Aldo Ramirez was traded. He was ranked like 13th. The question at the time was "why trade for an injured player, hope he comes back soon." Nobody hated on the trade. It worked out. Everyone knew Schwarber's upside.
Sox were hoping to get value out of that $$$. It hasn't worked out so far. Maybe they wait and see what it looks like in ST. If he is still struggling with throwing strikes, he should just be let go.
R Suarez is not a Plan B as he doesn't replace Bregman. Very weird pivot for this team. Not a bad move, but the Sox still have a big hole to fill in the IF.
I feel like most people on here have tended to be "he couldn't do it in da Bronx" so they haven't been behind Gray. Me?

Hicks had already transitioned to the pen prior to the trade.
His BB/9 as a starter is better than only Jovani Moran's of the guys projected to be in the Sox bullpen. Moran is potential the next DFA.
There wasn't anything good about his stint in the bullpen and he was the first guy to leave the clubhouse every night per reports.
