If Duran is slated for the bench, he should be traded for someone who isn’t…
-
Can we wait until Robertson throws two innings before we call him a success? Granted he’s already outlasted Hamels, who some thought the Sox also should have signed and whose been an effective MLB pitcher more recently than Robertson…

If defense for catchers is less important, where is Buster Posey on the wishlist?
-
First, Lugo was actually a pretty good player before he came to Boston, where his OPS was about .100 points below his career numbers. I’ve heard stories about a knuckle injury that changed the way he gripped the bat and threw the ball. But as for Downs and his TBD potential, bear in mind he is 22, skipped AA ball, and is playing AAA after missing a season due to a pandemic. Maybe if he was in AA this year after a season off, he’d look a lot better. But he at least deserves another chance…

The occasional optimism on this site is refreshing. I need to stop discouraging it…

Hold Dalbec. Find a role for him. Maybe he can upgrade his horrific defense at 1b. Like maybe keep his f***ing eye on the ball once in a while. He might settle in as a weak side platoon option for 1b/LF/RF.
-
Right now, this Sox team couldn’t sweep the kitchen floor, let alone an actual non-punting MLB team…
-
Yeah he’s a Wildcat, not a Gator…
-
… which tells me “selling high” would have meant dealing him last winter…
-
You mean University of Arizona, right?
-
You’re not going to change my opinion that it’s the easiest position to play defensively by citing the responsibilities of the role. You might change it if you tell me what position is you think is easier and why. And then explain why numerous players moved off that position because they couldn’t play it well enough wound up playing 1b. No one said 1b was easy. But that doesn’t mean it’s not still harder to play everywhere else…
-
If his 99 OPS+ represents an opportunity for "buying high", I think we can expect a minimal return on any deal...
-
Hey they got a .730 OPS from Rizzo, a .650 OPS from Gallo and an ERA over 6 from Heaney in those deals. It does make one wonder how they actually got any better...
-
I actually thought he might be a good RF with that arm...
-
It's just a lot easier to recognize a AAA slider, apparently. Those MLB pitchers are just a whole new level. Dalbec defintely has an uncertain future in Boston, but that doesn't mean he is now trade bait. I'd deal Duran before Dalbec...
-
But yet it is still the easiest position to play defensively (not counting DH, smartass). Dalbec's failure their doesn't change that...
-
But in his MiLB career, walks were always a big part of his game. They've been absent for the bulk of 2021...
-
Hand has actually been about the same for Toronto than Robles has been for Boston. Hand has a 7.27 ERA, 1.846 WHIP, 1.102 OPSA. Robles has a 7.30 ERA, 2.027 WHIP .950 OPSA. For both pitchers, those numbers are largely carried by 3 outings with their new teams...

Phillips Valdez!!
-
That's one odd thing about him. In his past, walking was never an issue. This year, he might finish with fewer walks than a guy who was acquired on July 30th...
-
Not too often a July deadline acquisition gets DFA'd in August...
-
Especially since Dalbec’s OPS is over .500 points better than Rizzo’s since the deadline. For an improvement of 500 OPS points, does the difference in defense make up for it?
-
Maybe he’s angling for the backup job to Mac Jones?
-
True. It was only 6 hits and 2 home runs…
-
His 5.6 hits/9 and his 10.2 K/9 in Pitt are both god numbers. But then his 4.7BB/9 and his 1.9 HR/9 are pretty bad, to be kind. That he only gave up 5.6 hits per 9 innings but 1.9 of them are home runs is actually kind of scary. 1 out of every 3 hits left the yard?
