    And that was a huge mistake. Especially since the 2008 Red Sox at least had an influx of younger players like Ellsbury and Lester stepping into larger roles...

    The Sox goal was winning...

    The starters have been a big problem, but the bullpen isn’t without some culpability here. Most of which I pin on Dombrowski..,

    At the deadline, the Sox (or any team) areolikely to make 5 or 6 deals. Too much needs to happen too fast. If they really go into Sell Mode, it makes sense to focus on the more valuable and more sought-after trade pieces. Forget about Moreland, Pearce or Holt unless someone else initiates it. Focus on better trade pieces like Betts, Barnes, Porcello, and Hembree. And maybe Bradley..,

    The Sox have used the opener strategy a couple times this year. But not as much as Tampa...

    It’s a combination of the two. Not all innings are created equal. Because our RPs haven’t been very good, I expect they have averaged more pitches per IP than the pens in Tampa and NY...

    I’ve been on the “Deal Mookie” bandwagon for some time now...

    Porcello would be good for an NL team, since he’s actually a pretty good hitter...

    Although if this rule happens, KC is going to feel pretty stupid for DFAing Billy Hamilton. His one weakness was his inability to steal first base...

    Except that this one is stupid. A defensive mistake on a batted ball in play is one thing. But to give that same importance to each pitch?

    I’ll cut Cashner some slack as it was still just one start...
  12. notin
    Exactly. He wasn’t some great unheralded discovery. There was a reason other teams avoided him. Some of that was his injury issues, but a big chunk was probably that he just wasn’t anything special. It’s like when career tweener Aaron Small had that great run for the Yankees. Despite his success, it’s not like Cashman plugged him into the front of the rotation the next year. Small made a few more starts and then just disappeared...

    Which is how rebuilding works. You trade veterans for farm help and work back up by either developing that farm help or flipping the pieces for other major leaguers with more control.

    Anything that can be had for Moreland and Holt isn’t worth the phone call. Not at first. Sell the other names first. Cashner can be a lower priority as well...

    Shut him down!!
  16. notin
    Trade him!!
  17. notin
    Mookie is absolutely for sale, The Sox should try to move as many of Betts, Porcello, Cashner, Hembree, and maybe Barnes as possible. Pearce, Moreland and Holt are probably not worth trying to move.

    For the record, Eovaldi is not the closer yet So other than give promises, Dombrowski has done nothing for the Sox bullpen all year other than add Colten Brewer...
  19. notin
    Agreed. Dombrowski should sell and resign..,
  20. notin
    No, The Sox do have a run.
  21. notin
    Probably won’t make the decision after 1 IP
  22. notin
    There are too many obvious questions that I’m going to avoid...

    He waguespanked that one!!

    Next time, borrow one of your kid’s diapers...

    Not to mention, if JBJ is middle of the road this year, it’s because his offense was so abysmal the first 6 weeks of the season, the only comparable player (Chris Owings) in MLB was released. And Jackie’s salary and defense probably kept him from a similar fate...
