    In today’s game, it’s all about dollars. I can promise in the ongoing CBA negotiations, no one will utter the phrase “All Star” and it will be completely omitted from the agreement.

    After this series? No. I want it to, but no. Not yet. Now if this series kicks off an 18-1 Morgan Magic 2.0 run before the deadline, I would certainly switch my position. But if the Sox “selling” gets some young MLB talent already in the majors. Like let’s say the Sox swapped out Marcelo Mayer for Dalton Rushing in a deal that arguably makes sense for both teams. Is that buying or selling?

    No idea, but I do know someone could have a crazy hot month that doesn’t line up either the rest of their season. For example, that stretch you highlighted, Duran wasn’t the 15th best player in MLB; he was tied for the 11th best with a handful of players. Some elite talents (Freddie Freeman, Junior Caminero), some rising stars (Andy Pages, Otto Lopez, Dillon Dingler) and some less impressive names (JJ Bleday, Brayan Rocchio). A wide spread. So you ask can someone lose it in 26 days, and the response is “did he even really have it this year?”

    Possibly the $30mill salary on that pitcher? St. Louis is paying a chunk of it, but they pay Boston that money, not Gray. If Boston trades him, they can do so and keep all the Cardinals’ money….

    Apparently that’s the deal. 40 IP doesn’t seem like much, but contract terms are different when you’re 38 and the next season isn’t so guaranteed…

    Braiden Ward replaces him until Roman is ready. Duran’s stock has plummeted on BTV. Over the winter, Duran had a surplus value around $80 mill. Today, they rate him at about $8.3 mill,,,,

    Hey if Chapman gets 16 more IP, we can always trade him next July…

    I know, right? Thinking the Sox really do need to hire me. I was calling for Tsung-Che Cheng back in April. Well the Sox finally do and are 4-0 in the Cheng Era. Once they call up Braiden Ward they should start printing playoff tickets…

    Demoting Gasper doesnt open up a 40 man roster spot for either Ward or Romy. Moving Anthony to the 60 day IL gets Romy on the 40. DFAing Gasper gets Romy on the 26 and Ward on the 40…

    Roman to 60 day DFA Gasper. Add Romy to 40 man and 26 man Add Braiden Ward to 40 man in Gasper’s spot.

    Demoting Cheng does nothing. Romy was on the 60 day IL and needs to be added to the 40 man roster first. 1. Move Roman Anthony to 60 day IL, causing confusion among stupid people that think this means anything about his injury. 2. Most likely demotion is an optionable player. Siegler and Eaton leap to mind…
  12. notin
    Monasterio makes sense since they probably only acquired him to replace Romy vs LHP. But more likely they move Roman to the 60 day IL, since he’s already been on the IL for 50 days and unless he was coming back in the next 10, why not?
  13. notin
    Crazy thought but they also could DFA Campbell. With about $42.5mill or so left on that deal, he will very likely pass through waivers…
  14. notin
    Can he be demoted without being DFAd and exposed to waivers?
  15. notin
    Tell me who said anything about contending. But then you’ve never been one to pass on the opportunity to intentionally misrepresent what others say….
  16. notin
    Hmm…
  17. notin
    The Optimism Killer strikes again. And once again with a painfully obvious observation that he is trying to pass off as a unique viewpoint…
  18. notin
    And I’m still waiting for them to call up Braiden Ward. He has a bat. It’s best left on his shoulder, but he has one…
  19. notin
    Wait. Players can come back from the IL now?!? Whats that like? The things modern medicine can do these days…
  20. notin
    They’re all blown saves because they all occurred in save sutuations, which means protecting a lead of 3 runs or less while someone else is in line for the win. Thats the criteria; no mention of inning. You cannot assume that the pitcher is going to be removed from the game, so he is on line for the save, and therefore the blown save. Once he is removed, then snd only then does the hold come in to play…

    Shag Crawford saved them in Anaheim, pitching out of a bases loaded none out jam allowing only the tying run in a clinch game for the Angels. Yet no love in the World Series after that impressive display in the ALCS. Granted it could have been a more impressive display if maybe Shag didn’t load the bases with no one out in the first place..
  22. notin
    Duran has the worst OBP on the Sox, non-hernia division. And let’s be honest - it should be Braiden Ward.
  23. notin
    Per the rules at the time, it was technically a regular season game, not a one game playoff. Regular season rules applied (including expanded rosters) and stats counted towards 1978 season totals, not postseason…
  24. notin
    Thats because it’s not a hold until you leave the game with the lead…
  25. notin
    It’s actually 6 blown saves, and yes, the type you can get by the sixth inning…
