    JD Martinez was a victim of stats vs paycheck. In his first 4 seasons (ages 31-34) in Boston, he hit .270/.377/.476 and was hated by many. At the same ages, Dwight Evans hit .266/.372/.477 and was loved by everyone. You’ll never find 2 major leaguers who put up closer slash lines and played the same position for the same team at the same ages, let alone were received so differently...

    Retire? He’s 29! And got better every year from 2015 through 2018. But he took one step back, so he has to go? Betts took a step back this year, too. Should he retire?

    Also I know that it’s against DD’s religion to make waiver claims, but Zack Godley is a better pitcher than anyone on the Sox farm...

    Give him a legitimate shot. I think he can get 7 or 8 starts and maybe 40 to 60 IP...

    Don’t stretch out Hernandez. He needs to master control and command. Stretching him out will just increase his walks...

    The following players need to play every day: Marco Hernandez, Sam Travis Brian Johnson needs to join the rotation. Might as well see if there’s a future in any of them...

    I suppose once I posted this, it became inevitable...

    Ever seen a game with such a potent pair of fifth spot hitters? Sam Travis vs Cheslor Cuthbert?

    Let’s go there and either beat this team or enhance that draft position!!!

    So Springer played through injuries and crushed the Sox, it was detrimental because he was on cortisone or something. But NO RED SOX PLAYERS were playing while getting treatment. That’s his position...

    No, time will NEVER prove that, because you will never know “what if?” DD stopped investing in this team last November. How many players to play for Boston this year were added to this organization between the World Series and the Andrew Cashner Trade? Sadly, I can only name three...

    Price, Sale, Rodriguez, Eovaldi, Barnes, Hernandez, Taylor, Workman, Johnson, Vazquez, Chavis, Bogaerts, Devers, Benintendi, and Betts for starters.

    I don’t think you get much of anything for Price or Moreland and you probably have to pay enough of Price’s deal that it’s not even worth trading him. I wish the guys in the analytics department would key in on a pitcher or two that’s hit the waiver wire. I bet that you could assemble half of a staff and bullpen from waiver wire claims this year that has outperformed the Sox rotation and pen...

    Not really. It’s not like the Front Office did anything. And the opportunity to sell was never there. Sure we could have bulked up the farm with more Josh Tobias types. Yippy...

    Also they should see what Brian Johnson is. Is he worth keeping? I will say, i am a longtime Johnson detractor, but I am starting to agree with Dojii that he could be as good as Porcello. Maybe not in the way that Dojii meant, but still...

    Given how the Sox starters have done in the first inning, I’d be ok with giving Weber an “opener” game in front of Price or Porcello...

    With Sale, this is just one season. Price feels like he’s been going backwards for a while now. In four seasons in Boston (including 2019), he has posted his three highest ERA’s since 2010. And his two lowest fWAR totals, with 2019 poised to be #3 on that list. It’s just not working out...
  19. notin
    Yeah. Look at it this way. Do you really think Dombrowski would be able to get under-the-radar talent for very replaceable players Porcello or Moreland? The guy’s strength is in dealing away young talent, not in finding it...
  20. notin
    Would the fliers the Sox got for Porcello and Moreland really be any better than the waiver wire player’s Dombrowski ignores every day?

    Barring a trade of Betts, we didn’t miss much of an opportunity....
  22. notin
    The rotation has given up at least one run in the first inning in 5 of the last 6 games. Maybe it's time to embrace the "opener" strategy...

    They can’t keep trotting Price out there, can they? He’s looking like the more expensive pitching version of Carl Crawford...
