    That would be my guess. With most viral diseases, there is an “incubation period” where the virus is replicating like mad in your body and the antibodies have not yet built up to full force to combat it. What I have been wondering is why there is no dead virus vaccine like we use to combat the flu by kick starting antibody production so that your body is fully prepared once there is an actual infection..,.

    As I have my doubts about the Sox involvement, I will not mind if the postseason doesn’t happen..,

    While Stack was in that movie, technically it was Lloyd Bridges who picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue...

    Bradley and Workman make sense to trade. Why would anyone want to trade Benintendi?
  5. notin
    Agreed. It’s been 3 games. Ten years from now, 95% of the players active today will be out of MLB. No one knows the future that far away...

    I suppose with no fans and a short season, this really is a prime opportunity for a good tank..,

    Said it too many times - Ryan Weber is NOT an MLB-caliber starting pitcher...

    It’s also true that batting orders can be changed daily...

    It’s tougher when you just can’t pitch any more. He might not be long for the closer job. Jeurys Familia was lights out in his exhibition games...

    Of course if they hadn’t traded him, the decision to keep him in the face of a season with a strong possibility of no baseball would have looked a tad different...

    And while he only has one start, adding Bogaerts to these two gives the Sox three very key hitters who are a combined 1 for 24 with 13 strikeouts. They’re not even unlucky so far. They’re not putting the ball in play at all. I know it’s just two games, but these were also games started by Tommy Milone and a rebuilt Alex Cobb...

    Two key players are ice cold. Benintendi and Devers are a combined 0 for 18 with 9 strikeouts...

    In a short season, might see the Hot Bat. Right now, that means Peraza. (Bradley arguments accepted.)

    Per baseballtradevalues.com, Jeter Downs has a surplus trade value of $21.7million. Graterol only has $14.3million.

    Obviously Perez was far from spectacular, but I don't get at all why Roenicke used Covey. The guy has been on the team for 2 days after being released by the Tigers. It was a close game, the Sox just got back in it, and after yesterday's blowout, the good bullpen arms were all still available. And in a normal season, I get resting players. but this year is a sprint. I'm sure many have asked about why no Bogaerts, but it really made no sense...

    So? Sox need relievers too. I liked the idea of having Graterol and Darrwinzon Hernandez and a lefty-righty duo to protect late leads. Jeter Downs is a good prospect, but middle infield is not the Sox biggest need even in the short term future. Not only do they have prospects, but teams only need 2 middle infielders to pan out. You need a 12-13 pitchers...

    Yeah it turns out Cashner's agent did know...

    We’ll trade you the Marlins for them...

    Well, it also seemed that their only chance of extending him was if they first reset the tax penalties, which they could not do without trading Betts or other expensive and far less desirable contracts. So trading Betts was the smartest plan to reset, since no one was going to take Eovaldi, Sale or Price off their hands. (And they did try. I believe there were some Price/Wil Myers rumblings, which shows how far the Sox were willing to go.) But the Dodgers were the only team willing to take Betts (and most of Price) and give up anything of value. My only problem with this unfortunately necessary trade was it did look better when the Sox got Brusdar Graterol...

    But the city of Buffalo only likes teams with pun names. They have the Bills. They used to (still do?) have a minor league baseball team called the Bison. And at some point in the near future, you just know they’re going to change the Sabres to the Wings. (Seriously. How has this not already happened!?? It’s even a hockey term!!) Buffalo Blue Jays? It just doesn’t work. Maybe the city will force them to use the moniker “Chips” for one year. Which is ok as long as there is no costumed mascot...
