We signed Price, traded for Sale then Nate, extended Sale and Nate, and then... poof. Perez Perez II Richards Wacha Hill Kluber

You don't often find that goose at $10M/1. Even $10M x 3 or 4+ won't get you an solid #2. It's past time we started treating the SP'er role like it was important and worthy of investment.
-
Even with one, he's better than Kluber.
-
The short answer: No. The longer one: Martin IL Joely IL Kelly & Mills 60 Day IL Paxton needs more time, and even then... ??? Politi has sucked in AAA. (.961 OPS Against) Mosqueda (.909), Sherriff (.810) or Broadway (.938)? LOL. Our best hope may be a few weeks away: .736 Mata .678 Walter We need Martin back.

Not Gahn Dah.

Maybe, just maybe... his wife.

This is his 4th start after one relief game. IP H ER BB K 4, 1, 0, 1, 3 5, 4, 0, 1, 6 2.2, 2, 3, 3, 6 Tonight: 5.1, 3, 3, 2, 11 His ERA is 3.00, now.
-
Mayer is 2-2 w a BB, mid game. His OPS is now up to .814. Paez got drilled in his start for Salem.
-
Murphy went 6 5 H 2 ER 2 BB 5 K Brought his ERA down to 10.45. Hamilton is 1-2 w 2 BB and 2 SBs (10 in 17 games.)
-
WOO is playing their 17th game, and Hamilton stole his 9th base, tonight. He's 1-2 with a 1.017 OPS. Abreu & Alfaro are 1-2 RHern homered Murphy has pitched 2 scoreless, so far.
-
We are 1.5 games behind a WC slot and have a better run differential (+3) than the two teams between us and that slot: CLE (-3) 10-9 TOR (-12) 11-8 We are still ahead of HOU, SEA, LAD and SDP.
-
Most of the pitchers are present, but we did miss a start from Whitlock and Martin is out, now. I'm not sure Paxton being out hurts us, but we'll see. Joely was not supposed to be a major addition, but I expected he'd beat out Ort, Kelly (who is on the 60 with Mills) and Brasier. If Houck and Whitlock stick as starters, it takes the heat off needing 2 from Sale, Kluber and Paxton to do well. We can likely get by with just one old vet coming through. That is assuming Bello and Pivetta fill their roles. -
He really pushed for being a starter, so maybe they gave him an assurance.
-
I doubt it. EValdez was only up while Chang was on Paternity Leave. We need middle IF depth. (Some might call it debt.)
-
Only if they are on the 60 day (Story, Mondesi, Kelly & Mills.)
-
Wong has started 3 out of 10 games with a RH'd SP'er. He has started 7 out of 8 with a LH'd SP'er. He is the only catcher to catch Houck and Whitlock. The 3 games he started vs RHPs? 1 with Crawford vs PIT 1 with Kluber vs PIT 1 with Sale vs MN
-
I totally agree, but with this nearly brand new staff and two brand new catchers, a learning curve has to be taking place, as these guys feel each other out. Maybe some early bad results can set a lasting "tone" than can never be overcome.
-
Duran wont get DFA'd. He might get sent down, unless he's still doing well. With Tapia and Chang already sent down, who is left but Duran?
-
Ort has an option. Ort goes to AAA, and Brasier ets his 100th life.
-
Kavadas has begun turning it around in AA: 5 for his last 14 (.357) and 8 BBs On base 13 of his last 21 PAs (.619 OBP)
-
More than 1/4th of Wongs PAs with Sox pitchers have been with Houck and Whitlock. McGuire has zero PAs with those two. It's apples vs watermelons, here, folks.
-
Paxton> Ort Martin> Please be Brasier Joely> Not sure (a SP'er to the IL?) Mondesi> Chang Story> Tapia Duval> Duran
-
Looks like the jump he got at soxprospects.com rankings was justified.

The loss in '78 was rough, too. There was also a year we finished 1/2 game behind Detroit, due to the unbalanced strike induced schedule, and countless second places, where we had a damn good record, and were maybe a top 4 team in MLB, but with no playoff slot. No doubt, those seasons were still exciting and fun to watch, but the no rings thing wore at me.
