Kluber doesn't have durability issues. Kluber has an age issue and is ready for retirement. He's just a horse that needs to be put down. He could throw 180 innings, but would have a 7 ERA. Wacha would pitch better, but couldn't stay healthy.

"Lost on a bloop." Nick Johnson pops out to SS. Jeter 2B to RF Bernie 1B to CF Matsui Groundrule 2B Posada 2B to CF Embree comes in and gets an out, 0 R. Timlin comes in and gets 4 outs, 0 R. Seems like they should have gone to the pen?
-
Timlin, Embree and Williamson all gave up 0 runs that postseason. You needed six outs and had 3 other very capable guys to do it.
-
Embree, Lowe, Timlin, Arroyo and Williamson all were pitching great out of the pen that postseason. You're misremembering how good that pen was at the time.
-
Duvall did come up as a corner IF. Maybe he can play backup 1B in 24 as well?
-
78-84 Sox sign only one decent SP this offseason. Lots of questions going into next year.

10/1 Sox @ AL East Champs; Final Thread

Ugly baseball from O’s backup squad. -
With the focus on the minor league talent being bats, I just find it hard to believe they’d spend big on long term external hitters like Chapman.
-
A lot of $$$ that should go towards pitching IMO.
-
Oh yeah. This winter fest could be interesting. Probably won’t have a mic put in front of him.
-
He knows the market and what the players are worth! It’s not his fault other owners are outspending him!!!
-
At that point, you’re just making more issues for your team by moving everyone all around and not getting improved defense.
-
Bench coach, sure.
-
They had a middle of the road budget for a team that was in the middle of the road in the standings before it took a nose dive after the CBO was fired.

9/28 Sox @ Baltimore to view winning team

I haven't watched the past few games, because why bother? I probably won't watch until the Sunday finale when I go see my Grandfather In Law who I haven't seen in weeks since my family has been fighting off various illnesses and we didn't want to get him sick. -
When DD came aboard, did he fire Farrell immediately?
-
The psychic cat sees all.
-
My second guess was Quinnipiac.
-
Sorry, that's just what the psychic cat was telling me.
-
I think the argument was Eflin instead of Kluber?
-
I think if they only have #3 starters, it gets them just good enough. They really need to go all in on a guy that can lead the staff.
-
Even if he had to "stay cheap" he should have allocated his resources in a different manner. It was just poor spending to ignore the SP the way he did. Anyway, this is the Prospects thread in the Minors forum...

https://twitter.com/SotoC803/status/1707611475299188787 Sox have a 11% chance to get a #6 pick or higher.

Bloom's issue was that he gave every MLB player a preset value and wouldn't budget on that value when handing out contracts. That's why we wound up with a lot of mediocre FA guys. The FA market went up and he wasn't willing to pay those prices. He wasn't willing to improve the MLB team at the trade deadline because he was never willing to "lose" on a trade because of his preassigned values he had on players. He was more apt to sit back and stay with what he already had as the market passed him by.
