  1. Buchholz had just gone down and they needed a starter. Probably not much else available at the time. I guess you could call him Desperate Dave on that one.
  2. The real boss is Henry. He's the one who will set the direction for 2024.
  3. Pomeranz was a starter at the time, with pretty good numbers, and one of the few available at a time of need. It was an overpay but a necessary one.
  4. That's a pretty widespread view right now.
  5. Jeez, I was just correcting moon.
  6. Red just said he was 100% right that it was a bad hire. Regards, Rock Em Sock Em Referees Inc.
  7. Will Kim Ng interview with the Sox? That's the buzzworthy question right now.
  8. But you keep swinging. You two are indefatigable.
  9. Rock Em Sock Em!
  10. Yes, conjecture is running amuck here of late.
  11. This might be just the break the Sox needed.
  12. The paycheck is attractive, the job security not so much.
  13. CBO seems to be an adequate term for the head honcho of roster management.
  14. But Sale wasn't oft injured last time we saw him.
  15. I guess Cherington should be omitted because he was promoted from within.
  16. This isn't snark, it's a honest question: to what extent did Epstein, Cherington, Dombrowski or Bloom bring their own people?
  17. It sounds good in theory, but I'm pretty sure all these sub-.500 seasons do not fit in with his master plan.
  18. We laughed at the Rangers when they signed Seager and Semien for $500 mill. We laughed some more at them when deGrom went down. But they've also added Eovaldi, Montgomery and Scherzer. I don't think I've ever seen a team go all in for starting pitching like the Rangers did this year.
  19. But Cashman replaced him with Rodon. How does Cash still have his job?
  20. I'm quite sure JH isn't bad in the way Snyder was bad. But JH's impatience and ever-changing philosophy are real issues, and it's not surprising some qualified people aren't interested in the job.
  21. Well, we do have a thread on the postseason with over 100 posts! https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/20824-2023-MLB-postseason-thread
  22. Our issues at shortstop this year had a chain of blame. -You can blame Henry for not shelling out to extend Bogaerts. -Blame Bloom for signing Story with his injury red flag. -Blame Bloom for not signing Andrus or Iglesias when Story went down, leaving Kike as the #1 option. -Blame Cora for playing Kike at shortstop too much. It was a team effort.
  23. Short-term yips, apparently.
  24. Pot calls kettle black! See second post down on this page. https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/20614-A-Realistic-View-of-2023-Part-II?p=1539710&viewfull=1#post1539710
  25. So after Kike went to the Dodgers, he started 8 games at shortstop, and they won 7 of them. Sure is a funny game.
