Then we’re f***ed!

No.

Or they could be the first team in MLB history to lose 4 straight games at one point and still win more than 75!! Or not..

Failure to criticize everything means you’re just an apologist..

So still not impressed that a team many were saying would be lucky to win 75 games had won more than 60 before August?

He got 1 year $10mill on the FA market after being non-tendered. No one is offering him $100 mill. Not even at gunpoint…

I texted him. He says they cost $144 mill over 8 years. Not sure he’s my Go To authority on this any more…

Wong has already been demoted. Likely Cordero follows when someone gets activated

There’s a 7 game stretch in there where he had a 3.55 ERA and a 2.6 K:BB. He did only pitch 33IP, however. He’s not the guy from April and May, but he is going to be harder to replace right now, especially if injuries mount…

Duran sees the bulk of the time in CF. Cordero sees the bulk of the time on the bench…

One could argue for both Hanley and Burleson over Nomar…

He’s also lying. He won’t be happy regardless of when Schwarber returns..

Then just DFA. No team ever has failed to win anything due to a shortage pf Ockimey’s

I think Cordero is the 4th outfielder right now. As Gonzalez, Arroyo, Schwarber, etc. return, he’ll find himself headed back down the Pike to Worcester…

I’m amazed you can see promise in Ockimey but have given up on Perez…

Perez isn’t going to garner a lot of Cy Young votes, but he also hasn’t pitched himself out of the rotation. If 3 bad starts out of 4 knocks a pitcher out, we’re going to need a long, long line of replacements..

Just let em go.. This team can afford runners in scoring position more than they can afford more infield injuries..

He never caught again after Boston but he was the best catcher the Sox have traded away in the last half century. Not like Manny played a lot of DH on the Dodgers, but he made the list…

Hatteberg at catcher. He had a good enough post-Sox career to be played by Chris Pratt in a movie. He was also traded to the Rockies for Pokey Reese, so he qualifies..

Rick Burleson probably needs some sort of Honorable Mention here…

As a third baseman? Yes. There’s a reason Bagwell never played 3b above AA. I also prefer Bagwell to Cooper at 1b…

At the time, it was exciting to see them so close for Scherzer and Berrios, but at the end when we saw what those pitchers went for, it became obvious that he was sitting at the $1,000 table with only $500 in chips. The real disappointment was that, as far as we know, he didn’t pursue pitchers like Jon Gray, Jose Quintana, Chris Archer, etc. And as those pitchers didn’t go anywhere, we don’t even know if he could have topped any offers. Now maybe he felt Sale and Houck were already better options - which certainly could wind up being true - but that doesn’t negate the need for pitching depth, especially in the rotation. It’s also kind of tough to tell if he could have topped the orders for Rizzo and Gallo, since I don’t know much about the prospects the Yankees moved, and the various sources for learning anything about them give insufficient information (to me, at least). But my first thoughts are they could have topped those offers, but I’m on the fence about whether or not they should have. And my biggest disappointment is that they simply ignored Jon Schoop, which I concluded based on an article that everyone seemed to ignore Schoop. He seemed like some pretty low-hanging fruit…

Moyer may have been the only pitcher in MLB history whose age was greater than the speed of his fastball…

You’re squeezing Bagwell in at 3b with Carney Lansford screaming at you…

I take it it’s an “All Came Up With The Red Sox And Were Traded Away” Team? And we always forget how to squeeze Ben Oglivie on to that team…
