How about Whitlock? All I can find is "after May 2."
-
I don't view trading Kike as "selling." The guy sucked. If we DFA'd him, I would not have blinked an eye. Urias was an attempt to improve the team, but he was not a rental and not very significant. I guess I'm okay with saying it was a teeny, tiny buy. I don't view trading Kike as a "sell." It was a dump. Getting Robertson was surprising, to me. (We also got Hagenman.) Perhaps, in light of what we got, it can be viewed as a "sell," but both of those trades were so minor, I called it a do nothing deadline. I still do.
-
Is "decent" good enough?
-
Was that buying and selling?
-
"Always?" I only remember once. He sold in '20. He bought in '21. He bought & sold in '22. He did squat in '23.
-
Bell, I said "I think they may..." It's the conditional tense that obviously depends on certain circumstances for it to be an option. In no way did I predict it or say I hope we suck badly enough we'll have a sell off. My point is, if we do, then it might be the right choice. I have also said, I'm not sure what this team's upper brass might do, if we are on the fringe of competition. The Vaz trade was made at a time where many were saying we should be buyers- not sellers, and we actually did do a bit of both, that summer. Other summers, like in '20, when we got Pivetta was a good idea. Many felt we should have sold, last summer. .

Maybe, somehow, still being in AA makes it seem longer.
-
He confuses opinions with predictions. Like he still thinks you predicted we'd sign Chapman.
-
Besides, I never "predicted;" I said we "should." This time, I said "I think we may..." That's hardly a prediction, either.
-
Zero or close to it, through no fault of his own. I think we may be sellers, even if we seem to be in teh race.

Langeliers just swung and missed at a pitch way up high on a 3-2 count with bases loaded and 2 out in the 9th; it is a 0-0 games with the Yanks.
-
At least you two know how to read.
-
A bundle of optimism.
-
Seems like he's been around for a long time.

The big 3 are not off to bad starts, but they are not (yet) lighting the world on fire, either. .784 Mayer .771 Anthony .761 Teel The surprise at AA has been Paulino, Penrod & Dobbins. Kavadas and Fitts are the top guys from Woo. (Meidroth is warming up.) Early & Bolden are impressing w Greenville

3 @ CLE 3 v CHC 3 v SFG 3 @ MIN Day off 2 @ ATL Day off 3 v WSH Then, the real hard part comes (not in order): 7 w Rays 3 w BAL 2 w ATL 3 w MIL 4 w DET 3 w STL May 13 to June 5th will be very telling. No easy teams in the bunch.
-
Pivetta and Whitlock may return. One must, for sure. The others have to give 28+ GS, IMO.
-
He's got options and may bounce back. He looked good, last year.
-
It would not be the first time a Sox team made the playoffs after not having high hopes in March.
-
Playing a team when they are on fire is worrisome, but they have to cool down, at some point. Might as well be now.
-
I'd like to see the domer get a shot, but his high K rate is not a good sign. Neither is Dalbec's, so what do we have to lose? (Bobby Dee can play 3B, though.)
-
My dream.
-
We are in 3rd place, by ourselves. 2 GB BAL 2.5 GB NYY 5th Best record in the AL (.5 GB KCR for 4th) 11th best record in MLB but tid for 9th in GB (0.5 GB 7th best) 8th best run diff at +18. Nice start.

Sox fWAR leaders through 1/7th of the season: (bWAR) 1.1 Crawford (1.7) 1.0 Houck (0.9) 0.9 O'Neill (0.8) 0.8 Duran (1.2) 0.5 Slaten (1.0) 0.5 Casas (0.2) 0.4 Whitlock (0.9) 0.4 Pivetta (0.6) 0.4 Abreu (0.9) 0.3 Bello (0.5) 0.3 Wong (0.1) 0.3 Refsnyder (0.3) 0.2 Wink (-0.5) 0.2 Bernardino (0.4) 0.2 McGuire (0.3) 0.1 Devers (0.1), Martin (-0.1), Anderson (0.2), Jansen (0.3) Take the average and multiply by 7, and you get: 9.8 Crawford 7.0 Duran 6.7 Houck 6.0 O'Neill 4.6 Abreu 4.6 Whitlock 3.5 Pivetta 2.8 Bello 2.5 Casas 2.1 Slaten, Ref , Bernardino 1.8 McGuire 1.4 Wong, Jansen 0.7 Devers

I'd have O'Neill in RF over Refsnyder and it's about even with Abreu. vs RHPs, I might go: LF: Duran CF: Abreu RF: O'Neill "Might."
