    That “somehow” might be explained by replacing Kimbrel and Kelly with Colten Brewer and a bunch of Ryan Brasier Hopefuls with long minor league careers...

    So Poyner, who was one of those young stars many wanted on the postseason roster instead of Kelly, is now on the outs after facing one hitter???!!? I think sometimes people are a bit too desperate to replace the current players with the youngsters on the farm.

    “Over the years” means nothing at this point. He makes more money and has less control than at any point in his past...

    The only injuries some people respect are breaks and tears. You could have a guy out there with his femur sticking out of his skin fully exposed, and some poster would be yelling at him “Get back out there, you wimp!! I can see with my own eyes it ain’t broken!!! Nothing a little cortisone won’t fix!!”

    The question does become what does Dombrowski want for him. Reportedly DD tried to move him this off-season...
  6. notin
    That’s one method. The problem is once he gets hot, most of his detractors won’t want to trade him...

    Did you stop when you found one name? No. There is another one. Keep looking...

    Ah the justification of “upside.” Along with “potential,” upside will break your heart more often than not. Devers is one of the few Sox starters who not only has trade value, but also has a ready replacement. And one who can actually play third base. The “trade Bradley” threads always miss the point. So Bradley (in your mind) sucks and needs to go. What do you think you get in a trade for someone like that? And please spare me the “Bradley isn’t right for this team arguments as well. Bradley is good. Sure his offense is unreliable, but this team is supposed to have some reliable hitters to pick up the slack. Rather than calling out the Gold Glive CF who uses defense to keep the game close, where are the gripes about the 0HR/3RBI “slugging” third baseman and the reigning MVP with 101 OPS+? You know, the guys who are supposed to be hitting?

    They’re also out of middle infielders on the 40 man roster...

    So when can we start using the dreaded “prone” label on Judge?
  11. notin
    Maybe they’re all faking injuries and are upset about that whole “percentage of revenue” thing

    I think he’s awesome, regardless of the hitting. I’d love to see the Sox extend him, but I think it’s not very likely despite the dearth of OF talent in the system right now...

    I will never understand the logic of “ this player sucks!! The Sox need to trade him!!” Do we really think other GMs won’t know he sucks? Or do you just want to trade him for different players who suck?

    That pop culture reference is actually so old now, two of the three then-active players are in Cooperstown and the third has been kept out multiple times for steroid usage. Might as well be asking “where’s the beef?!!?”

    Replace him with Chavis. The dude has a career OPS of 3.000!!! Sure it might be a small sample size...

    SF Giants 15 Pittsburgh Pirates 15 Cleveland Guardians 14 Christian Yelich 13 Detroit Tigers 10

    Yeah 37 degrees just doesn’t work in Fahrenheit or Celsius...

    If this is what JBJ does every year, then how is he an “underperformed?” I think JBJ pretty much proves Sox fans want offense. Players like Bradley and Leon play their positions very well but don’t always, or if you're Leon, ever hit. And they gotta go. Now! Who cares if there is no one ready to step in. Meanwhile Devers can hit, but couldn’t catch a cold if he was naked in Norway. And he’s the guy this team is supposed to build around?

    Keep Bradley. Trade Devers...

    Not likely. In 1903, Cleveland Naps shortstop Johnny Gochnaur committed 98 errors. Coupled with his OPS+ of 54 that year, Gochnaur is a leading candidate for the worst season in MLB history...

    Yes. And if Porcello doesn’t go 7IP 1ER tonight, the name will still be available. You know, if you’re in the market for a change....

    And those comments are usually made by stupid straight white hipster males to whom the comments do not apply but feel the need to be everyone’s spokesman. Whitey ruins everything!!!

    KateRoof in my alternate reality...
  24. notin
    And Dave Dombrowski will announce that he is legally changing his name to Drippy McPants for religious reasons. Too sarcastic?
  25. notin
    JBJ always has a .315 OPS in mid-April. But sometime in the June/July timeframe, he will briefly morph Mickey Mantle. Quit acting like you haven’t seen this show before...
