Not to mention, I would think a Yankee fan would recognize that you can win without a starting rotation...
-
Dauby? You wanted the Sox to promote Brian Daubach? I'm not a big fan of Gorkys, either, but even I admit he's a better choice than a 47yo former first baseman who hasn't been with the Sox since 2004.... -
That's actually a remarkably stupid statement. And I'm being polite...
-
... which will be a city with no post-season baseball...
-
No but I am saying Nick's conclusion is based on limited data and therefore should be in question...
-
I'm staying here. Not traveling to Oakland or Tampa. I think those each might be the least exciting city on each coast...

Johnson has a 5.09 ERA as a starter this year, but a 9.90 ERA as a reliever (Ok that number does include last night's game). Last year, Johnson had a 4.15 ERA as a starter and a 4.19 ERA as a reliever...
-
It's what happens when you look at small sample sizes...
-
So if the $56mill is true in order to reset, the Sox have arbitration cases for Betts, Barnes, Bradley, Rodriguez, Benintendi, Workman, Hembree and Wright. Who do you think should be tendered, non-tendered, and traded?
-
I agree to an extent. But if you have a starter go 5 or 6 IP and then count on 3 or 4 IP from the pen, it does give them a better chance to succeed...
-
They may have to unload another deal or two. I’d be surprised if they tendered Hembree a contract and there is the possibility of moving Barnes. Obviously moving Price would be prudent, and don’t kid yourself, it is possible. The only question is, is what’s coming back going to make that deal worthwhile?
-
If you spend and it doesn’t work, that might be on the players. But if you don’t spend and it doesn’t work, that’s on you...
-
... got released by the Brewers. He’s owed about $600K this year and has a $4.3mill option for next year, and is one year removed from an All Star season with the Brewers. Grab him for next season, DD! You paid more money to bench players Holt, Pearce and Nunez each this year!
-
And that number could have been improved if DD paid any attention to the bullpen instead of losing both Kimbrel and Kelly and somehow concluding “Colten Brewer should be enough here.”
-
Fixed that for you.
-
It’s one thing to prioritize a rotation over the bullpen. It’s another to prioritize a backup 1b over the bullpen...
-
It’s been the same story through so many regimes it’s hard to isolate the issue...
-
It is crazy, but these games have a following. The weird thing is, international competition is getting to be a big thing but the stranglehold the cable companies have limits the US severely...
-
Actually, especially in Europe, the growth of e-sports appears to be trouncing all real sports...
-
You’re assuming he’s decided. One has to wonder if he’ll have Dombrowski/Romero/Insert New GM Name here clean house of some of these loftier contracts. Plenty of people will say Price is untradable, but I bet those same people said the same thing about Robinson Cano...
-
I’m not sure what you mean. Life was more than fair to Rob Gronkowski...
-
Well it might not. But if the team is resetting for 2021 it helps. 2020 is a very pivotal season. Do the Sox keep spending, something Dombrowski doesn’t appear to do very well? Or do they step back and regroup for one year?
-
And he discussed it a couple years prior and it didn’t happen out of the blue during his team’s third preseason game...
-
At this point, all headroom is good headroom...
-
Yes. I don’t think Pearce had much e get along interest...
