  1. With all the problems this team has, you seem awfully dedicated to denouncing a utility infielder...
  2. The competition is numerous, but not fierce..
  3. Lin is a role player. He can be a utility infielder on a good team, but unfortunately the Sox have an overabundance of utility infielder types...
  4. Well, if the Sox think Bogaerts will opt put after 2022, it's not such a long deal. And if they want to deal him, best to do it before the NTC kicks in...
  5. Onm sone levels, I respect you, oldtimer. You seem like you have yet to wave a white flag on this season...
  6. Actually per baseballtradevalues.com, Cleveland should be the one adding a sweetener. Probably since Clevinger only has two years of control left while Verdugo has 5...
  7. There is no way to get rid of Pedroia....
  8. 1. I doubt they deal Clevinger, but if there is one team that could move a pitcher like him and immediately backfill his spot in the rotation, it is Cleveland. 2. It is easier to get outfielders than aces. Springer, for example, is a free agent this off-season. 3. Why wait? Sox have rebuilt quickly before. Look at how they did after last place finishes in 2012 and 2015. 4. Isn’t that exactly what a Clevinger trade is?
  9. That only creates one vacancy, and on a team that doesn’t spend.
  10. Not his fault. 29 other teams would have cut him.,,
  11. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but there is a chance that this team might suck...
  12. I'm not going to pick up on that. I end almost all my posts with an ellipsis. See...
  13. Oh please, Yankee fans have thought they have seen the last of Gardner since 2015. They'll keep bringing him back. The man is going to die wearing pinstripes.
  14. That's because the flyballs hit off Sox pitchers don't stay in the ballpark often enough...
  15. If you told that to Ripley, he'd say "I don't believe it."
  16. I think they can get over 100 in 10 games tonight...
  17. Same can be said for Trey Ball...
  18. I'm shocked, too...
  19. On other threads, we have fans insisting it's time to give the kids a shot because this season is over. But here we have a situation where a kid is getting some time and people want him sent down to the minors (who are not even having a season this year)..
  20. Moreland has a career .673 OPS vs LHP. I've certainly seen worse from a LHH. Chavis career OPS vs LHP is .771. Marginally better, but it's .882 this year against LHP. His OPS since that first series is .852 on the season against all pitchers. Moreland is off to a great start, but Chavis is not holding this team back. The Sox pitching gave up 13 runs; you're not going to win many games if any when that happens...
  21. And rebuilt them quickly Last place in 2012. WS Champs in 2013. Last place in 2014 and 2015. Then AL East titles in 2016 and 2017 followed by a WS title in 2018. 2019 was the first year since 2011 the Sox did not finish in either first or last in the AL East...
  22. Well, Glasnow was looking like a reclamation prospect, and Archer was clearly declining, but he was also paid like a lesser starter anyway. I'm hoping if the Sox can get players above A ball for Bogaerts. I can see the Cubs and Reds both having interest, but their systems above A ball are not ideal for the Sox. I would love a Meadows/Glasnow/Baz style package that has two players who can step in today. Not sure who the trading partner is there, however. (But then it's not my job to know that.)
  23. Not sure the draft order matters as much as the 2020 draft will be the bigest crapshoot in drafting history. MLB drafts are inherently that way to begin with, but now with the additional factor of no college and high school seasons, making the most recent scouting reports 12 months old minimum...
  24. Mo Cheeks is a great name for a proctologist...
  25. Apparently his nickname is Snellzilla. Frankly, I don't like it. "Blake the Snake" is much better...
