    Heck, Duran is older than Devers LOL

    Yeah, it's unfortunate, there's definitely some piling on going on with Grissom. It's a trifecta of bad stuff-the guy he got traded for is having a great season, he can't stay healthy and his numbers are horrific. He's so far behind the eight-ball now that you wonder if he has much future with the Sox, especially with them having multiple other 2B possibilities for 2025 and beyond.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Right, he also took very few walks and had very little power. He was one bad offensive player.
  4. Bellhorn04
    He's also only played 94 MLB games so I think he's still learning a lot.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Seems counter-intuitive (but that's baseball) because you'd think it's the wall that produces all the extra doubles and hitters pull the ball more than they go opposite field. Any theories?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Cora did the right thing under the circumstances IMO.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's oddly reminiscent of the Yoshida signing, i.e. scouts getting overexcited about certain skills and overlooking certain weaknesses...
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, that's a decent comp, I didn't like that trade either. And a few years prior to that they traded John Tudor for Mike Easler. Generally speaking I don't like trading starting pitchers who have any credentials or potentials whatsoever.
  9. Bellhorn04
    The Sox need another late inning reliever. Smith is on the IL and Weissert is looking cooked.
  10. Bellhorn04
    If the score was 3-2 instead of 11-2 it's much more likely he would have been pulled. Just another reminder that ERA can be affected by a lot of things.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yes, as mvp put it, he's an OK prospect. We have a number of those for middle infield. We also have Story and Mayer.
  12. Bellhorn04
    .600 is the new Mendoza line IMO.
  13. Bellhorn04
    What's up with the 1-8/9-20 delineation?
  14. Bellhorn04
    OK, Mr. Betts-Lite.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's irrelevant in terms of not being able to do anything about it once it's done. But you could say the same about selling Ruth, trading Bagwell, trading Betts. It's just about evaluating decisions.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Bow out of buying this year, you mean?
  17. Bellhorn04
    It's pretty incredible how good the pitching has been considering last year's numbers and the fact the only significant addition was immediately gone for the season. Bailey is doing one hell of a job.
  18. Bellhorn04
    What could derail this season is if Houck and/or Crawford wear down. That would bring the team's reluctance to reinforce the rotation back under the microscope. But maybe Breslow will make an add before the deadline. We can hope.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I don't understand this particular argument. The Sox had a team option on Sale for 2025 for $20 million-an option that automatically vested if he reached certain targets, including not being on the IL at the end of the season. Given Sale's injury history and the risk mitigation of the option, it would be pure insanity to even think about an extension.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yeah but what about Glasnow's injury history? I thought that was part of the equation here. The guy had reached 100 innings twice and his career high is 120. Also no idea what his salary last year has to do with it. The real point is how much money the Dodgers invested in him.
  21. Bellhorn04
    7 inning starts: Sale 9 Houck 5 Crawford 2
  22. Bellhorn04
    The Unknowable.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Right, and Chris Sale is just any 35 year old pitcher, just like he's showing... There's no perfect comp for Sale, but you've got Tyler Glasnow and Jacob deGrom as examples of guys coming off more than one injury-decimated season, and the going rate was pretty darn high.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Thank you!
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that's what it looks like, he's an OK prospect. We got 10 million and an OK prospect. Some folks talked like Grissom was going to be the answer at second base for the next 6 years.
