I'm sure that it will.
-
Even if there weren't a cliff, even if we didn't have to consider saving money to extend some of our young core, I would not give Kimbrel a 5 year deal for $100 million. No way.
-
He was so good for the first two months of the season. Then it just seemed to disappear.
-
I have jury duty next month. I've been trying to think of ways to make myself appear crazy. That's hard to do though, as sane and rational as I am.
-
As some have pointed out, Kelly might have an edge over some of the other guys just by the fact that he's been with the team the entire season. Plus, he does have his moments of brilliance. I don't currently trust him, but I can see Cora sticking with him. Just keep him on a very short leash.
-
Cora pretty much already said as much.
-
You spoke too soon Bell.
-
With a wrist injury, I can't imagine that he'd be able to swing normally in that short a period of time. I'm not the doctor here, but it sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else.
-
As I've mentioned before, Cora pretty much already knows what direction he's heading in. While Cuevas was very strong last night, I can't see that swaying Cora one way or another. Cora did say he was going to start using Wright in situations where there is traffic on the bases. That idea makes me nervous, but perhaps Wright will be better at stranding those runners than some of our other relievers have been.
-
I'd offer him 2 years @ $21 mil per year.
-
Paying Kimbrel $100 mil for 5 years does nothing but steepens the cliff. Just say no.
-
Amen, brother Bell.
-
Cora has a plan. He knows what he's doing in terms of resting/playing guys. Once we clinched the division, his only priority is the postseason. In Cora we trust.
-
Cora just needs to start that AAA line up every night. Those guys would get the job done.
-
I second that! Welcome home Don!
-
That stinks. Tough break for Didi and the Yankees.
-
If Kimbrel will sign for 3 years or less (my preference is 2 years), then great. Otherwise, the Sox need to let him walk. It would be a huge mistake to give Kimbrel a 4-5 year deal.
-
Completely agree.
-
Ouch.
-
I've always been a Kelly supporter, but I've lost my trust in him. I don't want him on the playoff roster. That said, you are probably right that he'll be there. I would rather have the 3rd catcher on the roster than the extra reliever. I have no issues with Moreland being on the playoff roster and no doubt that he will be there.
-
I wouldn't say that what pitchers do this series has no value, but I also don't think that a pitcher is going to win or lose a roster spot based solely on what he does this series either. Cora already has it pretty much figured out. If there are still any guys on the bubble, I suppose this series could be the deciding factor. That said, we are not facing the Guardians in the ALDS. I think Cora already knows who matches up best against the Yankees and the A's.
-
I don't think of being able to hit well as a pinch hitter as a 'clutch' skill. I do think that some batters might be better at it than others, but I don't think those batters that are good at it can pinch hit at a level that is continually higher than their norm. In other words, there is no 'raising of one's game to an otherworldly level' going on. Papi only had 19 hits in 102 ABs as a pinch hitter. Maybe he did not like pinch hitting. Maybe it's just the randomness of small sample sizes spread out over 20 years.
-
Agreed. Or even a game where at least one of the teams were playing for something, like the Dodgers or the Oakland game.
-
I would prefer to Sox go against the A's as well. But my opinion really has more to do with wanting the Yankees eliminated than thinking the A's will be an easier opponent, though I do think our chances would be a little better against the A's.
-
Yeah, I'm surprised they chose a rather meaningless game.
