One game from .500. No Story. No Whitlock. No Bello. No Joely, Paxton and Mondesi. We all wish the start of the season would yield better than a 3 and 4 record, but there is a 155 games to go.
-
Some seem to feel it is all but certain.

Thanks to Winck. ERA and WHIP 1.93 Kelly 4.2 IP (1.71) 6.00 Bleier 3.0 IP (1.67) 6.75 Brasier 4.0 IP (1.40) 7.20 Ort 5.0 IP (1.40)

Ort has options, too, so either could be demoted without being DFA'd, right?

Kelly has been an adventure, too. He may be the first guy sent down- not Ort.
-
I will say, Martin faced better hitters than Bra-Man, so maybe that was the idea.
-
Max, you are a true fanatic, but fans can also be obsessed without thinking their team is only as good as they are playing that day or week. I enjoy your posts, and don't want you to change a thing about you, but you do get me shaking my head, from time to time. 👌
-
Story's return is a long way away. Surely, if Kike is still under .150 or even .200, and Duvall, Turner, Casas, Yoshida and Dugo are hitting well, he won't be playing CF FT. That is 5 guys who all have to be doing okay and be healthy. Kike could also move to 2B, if he looks better than Arroyo, when the choice is being made. No answer to my question is fine. I think we know where you stand.

MLB RBI Leaders: 12 Duvall 10 Y Alvarez 10 B Anderson 10 Will Smith 8 six tied

Not only do they pitch Brasier more than we like, they seem to have him in more important situations than Martin & Schreiber. (I get your points about Schreiber & Bleier now being sketchy, but Martin?)
-
You crack me up. I do wonder about us acquiring pitchers. Part of me thinks, why waste picks on pitchers, when they can't evaluate or develop them well, anyway. A bigger part of me thinks, get your s*** together and get the right people into the organization- like YESTERDAY!
-
I meant to type AAA for Rafaela. I found it interesting that some think Mayer may reach the bigs by September, and they have him starting 2024 in AA.
-
He should be in CF, but who would get moved or benched? Not Duval, except maybe to LF or DH. Not Yoshida, too expensive (maybe to DH?) Not Verdugo, he's a Cora fave and playing well. I doubt it's Turner (Yoshida to DH/Duvall to LF) or Casas (Turner to 1B/Yoshida to DH/Duvall to LF) One Q... Has he gone from "utility" to "back-up" in your eyes, or are you just talking SS?
-
There is a possibility the defense improves with the return of Story & Mondesi, and Kike moving back to CF. We'd go from one of the worst SS-2B-CF triangles to one of the best. We look good at 1B and maybe catcher. Corner OF and 3B would still be suspect, but we can get better on D. Mayber I'm too gah-gah on Whitlock & Bello, but I think they will have a major impact on our staff, soon.
-
...and maybe the last 7 of this game.
-
Are we going to lead the league in GIDP, this year?
-
24. Yup.
-
...and K's the side!
-
Those two might be or end up being in our top 4-6 pitchers, this year (SP + RP). They could really change the make-up of our staff.
-
soxprospects now lists the projected 2024 rosters: https://www.soxprospects.com/2024.htm They have Mayer in AA. Rafaela in AAA. Mata in MLB.
-
That Beni trade is still sort of "pending" as Winckowski is starting to show signs of life. Cordero is gone and gave us close to nothing, if not minus value. Luis de la Rosa- Salem w so-so results in very few innings pitched- faint hopes Grant Gambrell- I think he is out of baseball, now. Freddy Valdez- just converted to pitching
-
It's so hard to know what might have happened. One could argue we might still have won in 2018 without Sale. Had we traded for Quintana, instead of Sale, what might have happened? One can even go as deep as to wonder if Espinoza gets hurt had he not been traded? I do think Ben would have made a big trade or two, even if it took him being forced to do so. We'll never know. This whole Bloom era may end up with the same what ifs. He's never made a big prospect for stud trade. His top prospect traded was Aldo Ramirez for Schwarber. Next, might be Groome for Hosmer, Ferguson & Rosier. Contrast this with DD trading about 20 prospects that at one time or another were top 20, and you can see the vast disparity in philosophies or mandates.

Agree. As for Valdez & Abreu, I think they were like 8th to 15th on the Astros prospect list, but yes, they had recently moved up.
