    He also has moved almost all of the Sox first draft picks (first, not just first round), having dealt away their first picks from 2020 (Yorke), 2021 (Mayer), 2023(Teel), 2024 (Montgomery), and 2025 (Witherspoon). Only 2022 (Romero) remains, but his days are numbered…

    Plus Jahmai Jones ss a platoon mate with an OPS over 1.400…

    After just putting Yoshida at DH, I suppose it could be Mead.

    Better backup for CF/RF and has no options. Although since Yoshida is likely DH, Jones maked more sense as a platoon option. But since Anthony hasn’t even faced fast pitching yet and still has to make a rehab start, he might not be back until rosters expand, in which case they might keep them all.

    Did Breslow sign Joe Hardy?

    I greatly prefer Rutschman, Rogers and Wong as catching depth. Gasper can go. Harris, too. He was never needed. DFAing those two gets Crochet and Story back on the 40 man. When Anthony is ready, Jones is no longer needed and cannot be demoted, so he can get DFAd. The Sox would still need to option some players to get Story, Crochet, Mead and IKF back on the active roster. Sogard, Seigler, and Weissert/Burgos might be the only optionable players left. IKF might face DFA himself. The bench would be Rogers, Monasterio, White and either Duran or Yoshida. But that’s assuming all 5 come back before September, which doesn’t feel likely…

    What if Rutschman, Eyanson, Witherspoon and Azocar all flop?
  8. notin
    Wuth Tolle and Bennett, the question was never effectiveness but rather workload…
  9. notin
    I’d keep Rogers because he isn’t Mickey Gasper…
  10. notin
    Oh the he goes down for Rutschman, which means Harris and Gasper both become more likely DFA candidates…

    Drop the hyphenated “series-opening” from the sentence. While it is accurate, it’s confusing and isn’t germane to thr point…

    I don’t get the point of overworking your bullpen to rest your starters. Especially since a rested started doesn’t guarantee an effective starter. So what do you do the day after a bullpen game when the starter gives up 4 in the first and you’re down 6-0 in the 3rd? Just call up an AAAA or AAA arm and take any lumps that go along with it.
  13. notin
    Only if both teams win or both teams lose…
  14. notin
    Does Wong have an option? If so, that changes plenty of things…

    You need to DFA 2 players to if you’re activating Crochet, Story and Anthony. (Soxprospects.com has their 40 man at 39 even after Burgos.) DFA - Jahmai Jones, Jake Rogers. (Jones and Rogers are out of options and cannot be demoted.) Demote Weissert, Seigler and Sogard. Brett Harris should not survive this, but he might by having options. Activate Crochet, Anthony, Story, Rutschman, and Mead all the way to the active roster..

    Only moron managers use bullpen games during prolonged stretches without days off…

    Our kids are limited to Rivera, Samaniego and Gamboa. They could bring up someone like Wehunt or Holobetz, but they need to add him to the 40 man roster first, which requires DFAing someone or moving someone to the 60 day IL. They could easily DFA Brett Harris, I suppose. Or Gasper. Or put IKF or Mead to the 60 day…
  18. notin
    Much easier than putting Tolle on a strict 250 pitch limit…
  19. notin
    Surprised they didn’t option Weissert and call up Rivera or Samaniego just to have a fresh arm…
  20. notin
    They have myocarditis?!?!?
  21. notin
    This series was a battle between the two most obvious candidates. 7 weeks ago, Will Venable was a lock for that award…
  22. notin
    … which I see you have found…
  23. notin
    Clearly…
  24. notin
    But the little thumb icon does have that option…
  25. notin
    It tells me the price for any of those shortstops included Arias +, and if there was such thing as a capital plus sign, it would be applicable here…
