    His apology is catching him even more flak, but I can at least credit him that he is not reading a written statement in a press conference or from a teleprompter, and apparently he tried to do one off the cuff while live on air (even calling a Nick Castellanos home run mid-apology). Still, he is supposed to be a grown man...

    That's what moonslav was talking about in the post you responded to...

    Probably also worth pointing out with Eovaldi, his FIP is tied (with Martin Perez) for the best among Sox starters.

    Hey that 5.93 ERA is second best among Sox starters!!!

    Exactly my piint about pegging young minor leaguers as core players. Rodriguez was even further back than the turn of the century, and his lackluster MLB career ran from 1995 to 2001. We could name former overhyped prospects turned busts for days. Remember Tony Blanco? Twice ranked by Baseball America, and Pedro Martinez himself compared Blanco to Vladimir Guerrero. Well, it turned out Blanco was not even comparable to Wladimir Balentein. Looking at the B-R page for his comparable hitters, and they don't even list any, as Blanco only managed 65 plate appearances (and a .490OPS!!) for his career. That's only 65 more than I had...

    Blaze Jordan is 17 years old. It might be a bit early to consider him part of the team's core going forward...

    Downs and Casas have 12 games above A-ball between them. Both are ranked prospects, which is good, but no guarantee of success. Garin Cecchini, Blake Swihart, Casey Kelly and Trey Ball were all ranked prospects at one time, too. And many others who had equally undistinguished careers. I say at least at a minimum let them get a full season of AA ball under their belts before they are considered essential core of the team going forward. Really they should make MLB before they are considered the core you're building around...

    Unfortunately said waves are likely to be off the coast of some Middle Eastern country. Song cannot even pitch in A-ball until 2022...

    And it also won't dazzle whoever they get trade to...
  10. notin
    Can he pitch?

    Now THAT is a name with pornographic potential...

    Yeah if only the Sox had a better utility infielder, this team would be in it. Maybe at the trade deadline....

    Plus most of the other options are worse...

    His injury was an unfortunate way to go down, but that’s part of being a pro athlete. And he will and should still get paid...
  15. notin
    How do you think he got hurt?

    How did you know his nickname his parents gave him?

    Oh please. We’ve seen this show before. New GM drafts carefully and signs top young prospects and makes shrewd deals to horde more elite young talent. Henry gets frustrated by team performance at MLB level and fires New GM, and then brings in trusty veteran GM who guts everything for a quickie title and departs, leaving a wake of bad contracts amidst a dumpster fire of a farm system. Lather. Rinse. Repeat...

    And Carl Crawford...

    I agree. I was surprised how many people think he should retire so as to help the Sox payroll. Hey, they promised it him. He has every right to sit back and collect...

    Sox claimed former Giant Andrew Triggs. Triggs looked promising 4-5 years ago, but he’s been injured a lot. He’s had thoracic outlet syndrome, which is the same injury that all but ended the career of Tyler Thornburg...

    A fair argument...

    There is also a chance within probability that I will get a four card draw to a straight flush while holding a winning Mega Millions ticket. But it might be a tad unlikely...

    Big deal. The season ended three weeks ago...

    Would you deal Verdugo for Clevinger and RHP Triston McKenzie or Verdugo for Clevinger and RHRP Emmanuel Clase?

    I'd be all over it, but I doubt Cleveland would be...
