Agreed. I loved watching Manny hit. His approach was second to none. -
i doubt it. We'd have to have spent it very wisely. "No Manny, No Rings" was one of the longest running threads on "that other site" many years back- started by me.
-
He's always walked too many, but this year is absurd. I think he'll work it out. He's our best bet at being a solid #2. DHern still walks too many hitters. Id like to see Sawamura gte more high leverage situations. I might also rise Valdez until he proves he's not worthy.
-
I think soxprospects.com tries to list the pen in pecking order: they have: Barnes Ottavino DHern Andriese Sawamura Whitlock Valdez Taylor Brice.
-
He's not. He's the "long man," so he can't really be a number 2 or 3. They apparently are stretching him out to be a starter, but I've yet to see him increase his pitches once in a game. Who do you think should be our #2? (I think Ottavino is the obvious choice, despite his high BB rate out of the gate and career.)

Ole Miss right-hander Gunnar Hoglund, one of the top prospect in this summer’s draft class, will require Tommy John surgery after exiting last night’s start during the first inning, ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel reports (Twitter link). He’ll be sidelined for the next 12 to 18 months while he recovers.
-
So, he can play? Can we trade Arroyo or Kike for a good pitcher? Do we want to do that? Maybe we trade Santana rather than call him up. Maybe we trade Chavis and Arauz for a pitcher at the deadline.
-
Santana has an opt out date coming up soon. He'll get the first look for that reason, alone.
-
I really like Munoz. I'd like to see him get a shot, but if it means 5 guys have to get hurt, I'll put my wishes aside.
-
Not really.
-
We could have won with Eovaldi, Pearce and 23 replacement players. LOL
-
Without Sale, too.
-
Yes, so would it take 4-5 strategic injuries for Munoz to get a chance?
-
With Arroyo and Kike down at the same time, and Santana between Munoz and the majors, I wonder if Munoz will ever see another chance with the Sox. If he can't get the call up now, when can he?
-
He's not on the 40 man roster, so he's probably not going to be an instant call-up, but he does seem more ML ready than Duran & Downs. I can see why they called up Arauz after Kike & Arroyo went on the IL, and I think Santana gets the next call, but Munoz may be 3rd.
-
I'm thinking they wanted to limit mixing up all the teams, in case one team came down with a rash of COVID cases. It seems like all year, we play teams twice within 10 days.
-
It’s hard to establish a pecking order with just one reliable RPer.
-
Yes, .600 vs the O’s and .620 vs everyone else. If you combine the O’s with the Rangers...
-
Yes, he did, and I am grateful for that. I still find it hard to imagine us losing without him.
-
aren’t we like 5-5 vs the O’s? I’m not sure playing them a lot is why we have the best record in MLB.
-
It’s hard to think we’d have lost without him.

The Big Three's OPS out of the gate: .737 Duran (23 AB) .569 Downs (23) .417 Casas (18 at AA) Other notables: 1.513 Mieses (16) 1.164 Santana (10) 1.024 Rosario (16) .937 Wilson (18) .762 Munoz (21) .381 BA .742 Jimenez (26) .523 Yorke (20) .161 Ockimey (18)
-
What's even worse is that had we signed Scherzer instead of Pablo/HRam/Castillo, we wouldn't have signed Price the next year!
-
There is no sugar-coating Brice. With the Sox, he has a 6.75 ERA and a 1.602 WHIP. How long is this clown's leash?
-
Even if Means pitches a no hitter every time out, they'd probably still finish last.
