So is Marwin.
-
Arroyo woke up the echoes.
-
The question wasn't about having someone to replace Dalbec or not. It was about how long a look someone should get. I am not against demoting Dalbec, even for someone unpromising as Chavis, but my point was not about Casas or Chavis.
-
I was feeling that way before these last 2 big HRs. I love the emotion he shows, too.
-
Maybe his power is needed nearer the bottom of the line-up.
-
I think Arroyo is a keeper.
-
Anything that will bring an answer.
-
It seems like our starting pitchers are coming back down to earth or going through a tough stretch. Either way, it hasn't been pretty. Who is the "stopper" on this staff?
-
Especially, when we replace him with a .600 bat.

No Bogie. Kike leading off, again. 1. Kike CF 2. Verdugo LF 3. JD DH 4. Devers 3B 5. Renfroe RF 6. Vaz C 7. Arroyo 2B 8. Marwin SS 9. Dalbec 1B

How long do you go before you determine a player cannot turn things around? We stuck with Renfroe and Arroyo for about as long as Dalbec and Cordero. Why are you so certain a player's last few weeks or months play is the best predictor of what is to come? The evidence does not support that theory. Look, I'm all for giving Dalbec a demotion to work things out, but it's not a no brainer, and the guy we should call up- Chavis- has about the same chance as Dalbec and others of doing okay going forward.

I'm not hearing the board saying they don't want the extra year. I hear one guy saying maybe it's not worth as much as some of us think it is.

Here is a look at some AL contender's line-up balance and make-up based on batters with 100 or more PAs. Batters over .900+, 800-899, 700-799, 600-699, 500-599, under 500 11 BOS 2-2-2-3-2-0 12 TBR 0-3-2-5-2-0 11 NYY 1-1-4-5-0-0 10 CWS 0-5-3-1-1-0 11 OAK 1-2-1-5-1-0 10 HOU 1-6-1-1-1-0 We have the most over .900 (2), but HOU (7) and CWS (5) have more than our 4 over .800. How about pitchers with 90+ PAs against and OPS Against: 11 BOS: 1-1-3-4-1-1 11 TBR: 0-3-4-4-0-0 11 NYY: 0-5-4-2-0-0 11 CWS: 0-5-3-1-2-0 11 OAK: 1-2-4-2-2-0 11 HOU: 0-2-7-2-0-0

April and May Sox OPS April >> May 1.175 JD .801 .958 Devers .933 .915 Bogey .961 .862 Verdugo .755 .763 Arroyo .513 .671 Kike .728 .638 Vaz .678 .619 Dalbec .672 .589 Marwin .537 .485 Renfroe .938 .452 Cordero .558 Is there anything about the April and May numbers that point to the idea that what you did recently is a good indicator of what you will do in the future? (Like from one month to the next? Only one player stayed within 25 points of his April OPS (Devers) and only 2 players stayed within 40 points (Devers & Vaz). 6 of the 11 stayed within 100 points-so basically 50-50. 3 of the 11 saw a change or 250 or more points: Renfroe+453 Arroyo +250 JD -.374

Yes, fix it by enforcing the rules.
-
I get the point but 2 Hrs per 9 games is 36 per 162. That's a mind full.
-
It baffles my mind how they never address the real and very simple problem: too much time between pitches. Fix that and not much else needs fixin'.
-
2 Hrs in 9 road games is pretty good, too.
-
I like the 3 years of control for Floro, but I think they'd want more than Chavis.
-
The all star game has always sucked, so trying something different may not have been a bad idea. I love interleague play and wish there would be more. I also think there should be a massive realignment of the divisions based on geography- something like this: 5 divisions TOR BOS NYY NYM PHI BAL WSH ATL TBR MIA HOU TEX PIT DET CIN CLE CWS CCubs MN MIL STL KC COL AZ SEA OAK SFG LAD LAA SDP 6 divisions BOS NYY NYM BAL WSH ATL TBR MIA HOU TEX TOR PHI PIT CLE CIN DET MN MIL CWS CC STL KC COL AZ SDP SEA OAK SFG LAD LAA Add 2 team and go with 8 x 4: TOR BOS NYY NYM PHI PIT BAL WAS NC ATL TBR MIA HOU TEX STL KC DET CLE CIN IN CWS CC MN MIL COL AZ SEA OAK SFG LAD LAA SDP

I'm not so sure. Had keeping him at 2B speeded up his arrival to the bigs by a year, the timing would be just about perfect.

You don't have to go to arb with a player. I think a player who's value is greater as an arb player than a FA is usually let go or traded for peanuts, and it's a very rare thing, too. Look at the JBJ case. Many felt giving him that last arb was overpaying him, myself included, but who knows what he'd have gotten as a FA, especially if it was a 1 year deal. I think we were mostly all surprised at what he got as a FA a year older than his last arb year, here.
-
Maybe Sox brass thought this would be a useful season to give several players a very long look to better determine who is a keeper and who is not. Dalbec Chavis Cordero Arroyo/Arauz/Munoz Winning more games than expected out of the gate has made finding playing time for some of these guys much more difficult. Only Arroyo has increased his value, and although Arauz has not lessened his, the rest seem to have. If we keep winning, we may not allow enough ML playing time for some of these guys. I can't see Chavis and Dalbec on the 40 by opening day 2022. Perhaps both are gone. I think Cordero, Arroyo and Arauz will be, if they are not traded. It's still early to know for sure.
-
Maybe. I guess they moved him for aa reason.
-
No doubt, but a 30 to 31 year old good player has higher team value in an arb year than as a FA. Look what people pay 30 and older players as free agents. Surely, if Duran ends up being a very good player, having him another year would be a good thing. Maybe valuable enough to tip the balance of the choice made on when to call up.
