Lakins was DFA'd, which really just removes him from the 40 man roster. He was traded before a decision had to be made to reassign him or release him...
-
All of the pitcher we had who were DFA'd were younger than Weber, and at least had the possibility of improving. Weber was 29 and pretty much established himself as what he is.
-
In the "What If" department, would we be calling Trout that if Jose Fernandez had not had his tragic boating accident?
-
They also have Brandon Marsh, who was BA #43 before the 2020 season...
-
His control is so bad sometimes, he creates the distinct possibility of reaching his pitch count limit before the second inning is over...
-
I think nothing Bloom did surprised me more than how every time he needed to DFA a player, he found someone other than Ryan Weber. Granted, we probably won't miss anyone he DFA'd, but I don't think we would have missed Weber either..
-
I like the idea of Devers at 1st and Dalbec at 3rd. Even if Dalbec struggles immensely with the bat - which is very possible - at least he can earn a minimum wage paycheck with his glove at 3rd...
-
And obviously we do not expect you to have access to that information. But it certainly does highlight the obvious possibility of his carer being over with problems unrelated to his arm. Now when it comes time to offer arbitration, the Sox should have these answers. And we have seen pitchers with arm problems - even chronic ones - get two year deals, typically in the $10mill range, despite everyone being well aware that said pitcher would miss the entire first season. These type of contracts have been awarded to Michael Pineda, Drew Smyly and Garrett Richard, all of whom are perennial high risks for missing seasons anyway...
-
And losing oe of their best starters to TJ and another to COVID. This is not a last place team with a healthy Sale and ERod...
-
Not to mention being embroiled in a cheating investigation because of their former manger's involvement in a similar one with another team...
-
With 6 outfield assists, the Sox are tied for 5th in MLB with the Angels, Yankees and Blue Jays, trailing the Marlins, Orioles, Dodgers and Padres...
-
It’s not, but it’s also at least 10 months away....
-
?? Not you what? I was saying that reportedly Dombrowski wanted to keep Cherington...
-
I have zero faith in Ockimey and finding a better LHH first baseman is not going to be all that difficult...
-
To be fair, Dombrowski wanted to as well...
-
Also dgalehouse cannot handle it if anyone says anything bad about Dombrowski or good about Cherington
-
Oh no chance he takes down Maris. Also that platoon idea sucks because it has an AAAA player in Ockimey getting the bulk of the at bats...

Trivia notes and questions (some of which may not be answerable)
notin replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Other Baseball
Ian Anderson beat the Red Sox and Yankees in his first two career starts. I believe he’s the first pitcher to do that in a long time... -
I agree. Although COVIDs 1 through 18 were fair game...
-
Dalbec would hold the AL single season home run record if he kept that pace...
-
Well, just as I blame Cherington for Sandoval and Hanley, I blame Dombrowski for Fielder. And Fielder lingered on the market forever that off-season. Dombrowski did not even sign him until Victor Martinez was ruled out for the year, which was in February, I believe. So if Ilitch got involved, he got involved really late. It seemed a little odd to go all in on a replacement player with a deal twice as long as the guy he was replacing. (And forced the most awful position alignment seen in the AL in decades when Miguel Cabrera was moved back to 3B.)
-
He did there almost exactly what he did here. He went on a spending spree with players like Victor Martinez and Prince Fielder and his massive extensions to Justin Verlander and then the phenomenal one to Miguel Cabrera, who is still owed $94 mill for the next 3 seasons, which is an awful lot for a beaten-down league average (OPS+ of 100 since 2017) hitter with no defensive abilities to speak of. They had a very good run, but when it comes to Dombrowski, that type of run ends with a smattering of blood, guts and aging mega-million dollar contracts. He just seems to make every deal with only "the now" in mind and then hopes tomorrow never comes...
-
While it is true this team is not one Logan Allen away from competing, his presence would still create one less void on the staff going forward...
-
Well, his legacy will carry division 3 titles and a WS trophy. But he is getting a reputation for crippling teams on his way out the door. The Tigers are still a mess
-
Logan Allen is 23 years old. There is actually a really good chance that the first 35 innings - and that is all he has at the MLB level - of his career are actually not representative of the remainder of his career. Michael Kickham is 31 years old. There is a really good chance thatt he first 42 innings - and again, that is all he has - are actually going to get worse if he ever pitches in MLB again. So your analogy really isn't very good, unless you think s*** with whipped cream will taste better if you leave it out longer...
