    Probably getting sent down and swapped out with somebody? Not really any great options though.

    The overall track record on DSL pitchers isn't great. I think there's only 3 guys in the top 30 of fWAR this year that were DSL. There was a report recently about how few high end DSL pitchers there have been in MLB.

    1. Let me just get these cowboy boots on... Owww, my friggin' back! 2. I'm going to go take the trash out, dear... Owww, my freakin' hand!

    They also said that 18 year old DSL guys like Delzine don't have great track records either. Keep that in your back pocket. The system is ranked 21st on BA and would be bottom 5 if Arias graduated. Pitching depth is gone. Need the drafted bats to really make waves. On Brannon, they said that his whiff rate is giving them a lot of pause. That guys like him just rarely work out (see: Bobby Dalbec).

    1. What's your preference between the hard hit calculations of Statcast and Fangraphs (Baseball Info Solutions based)? I know that Fangraphs lists both, which can be a little confusing when you look at a player's history like Jarren Duran. 2. I know they are in a playoff race, but should they have Roman, Story and IKF have lengthy rehab stints to come back at 100% or get back earlier to replace underperforming or injured players? 3. Has there been a Johan Oviedo update since mid July? I'm guessing no news is bad news (a la Kutter Crawford)? 4. Baseball writers universally love Bruce Springsteen. If you could pick one artist to embody the next generation of baseball writers/podcasters, who would it be?

    Are they still valuing him as a 6 win player? That's THE biggest obstacle here.

    In your dreams, buddy.
  8. mvp 78
    There aren't any reports that they even attempted to trade him at the deadline.

    Neither is the ongoing classic rock conversation. It'd be great over there. That forum used to get a lot of traction with this kind of conversation.

    SP mentioned him on their latest podcast. They consider him a low end talent as his velo just isn't there. His fastball is only 88 mph. His pitch mix is playable at lower levels, but he'll eventually get beat up as he progresses.

    This is just pitching in 2026. Comes with the territory.

    I'm pretty sure if their was an entire section of TalkSoxers, it would be one of the quietest sections in the ballpark.

    They are NOT moving Duran anywhere. I think that's obvious enough. He's going to play out the remainder of his ARB eligible years in BOS as fans pull out more and more of their hair.
  15. mvp 78
    They kind of are by going with the "bullpen" game and having Bello use an opener. It's basically using a six man rotation. Good for Tolle considering his metrics with extra rest.

    Slaten and Masa to IL. Burgos and Gasper recalled.
  17. mvp 78
    FanGraphs doesn’t account for exit velo at all if you go to their glossary.
  18. mvp 78
    Rehab players generally don’t come back like a house on fire. Having a bunch of guys returning at once isn’t ideal IMO!
  19. mvp 78
    Can’t pitch in a big market! Look how he did in da Bronx!

    Sox continued to play uninspiring baseball.
  22. mvp 78
    Cope from Alex.
  23. mvp 78
    I wasn’t really able to track down the FanGraphs calc. It was just a vague description. Exit velo makes more sense to me too. Over or under 95mph. Simple.
  24. mvp 78
    Statcast uses just exit velo. Fangraphs uses Baseball Info Solutions which excludes exit velo.
