    No need. He’s opting out. I read it on here...

    The bottom line is, JBJ is starting because he’s one of the 9 best options the Sox have to start any game, regardless of his lackluster offense. Cora cannot put a better team on the field with any players he has...

    Not to mention, the Sox bench players have all been hitting even worse. And Pawtucket isn’t exactly bristling with potential-laden alternatives. Gorkys Hernandez anyone?

    Ok so let’s say the Sox trade/bench/DFA Bradley. Betts can take center. Who takes RF? If the answer is JD Martinez, who takes DH? If the answer is Pearce (OPS .295), what exactly got accomplished here? Or does Chavis DH and Holt (OPS .273) and/or Nunez (OPS .360) get more at bats?

    Which is sad because he’s the best outfielder above A ball in the Sox system...

    I think the WM he was referring to was Whit Merrifield, not Will Middlebrooks or Walter Mondale...

    Thank you for jumping on that grenade for the rest of us...

    Chris Davis was 0 for 55 vs everybody until he ran into Porcello. This is absolutely a step in the right direction for Rick...

    It’s not that big of a deal if he can play. There are dozens of worse contracts out there for players who can’t play anymore. And even at 40%, his contract would be a $4.8mill payment. Might be a lot to you and me, but what does $4.8mill buy these days? Right-handed middle reliever?
  13. notin
    Personally I think it’s odd that the Sox are OK paying him $12mill but find it necessary to avoid a $12mill luxury tax payment. I do understand the Sox have no choice with Castillo, but that says they’re best bet was always to get this guy active and see if he’s either usable or tradable...

    Are we also playing the game that all right handed hitters struggle against RHP? Chapman (.949) and Semien (.839) have both done very well vs RHP this season...
  15. notin
    In Porcello’s last 3 starts, he’s pitched 19.2 IP with a 2.28 ERA and only walked 5 hitters. He walked 12 in his first 11.1 IP this year. It’s not just this one game that you’re casually dismissing as if 8IP 2 hitters are a daily thing...

    Of course, this has been JBJ’s worst month since August, 2014...

    Yes he quite literally shot himself in the foot...

    The Sox ruined Brentz’ development!!! Also, he’s not good at baseball...

    I assume any trade would be for “the best the Sox can get.” There is also the possibility of a bad contract swap, assuming you think JBJ has a bad contract..
  22. notin
    And if you think it’s going to be hard to reset, imagine how hard it’s going to be to win...

    The No. I mentioned him as the only possible trade candidate from oldtimer’s list. Everyone else he wanted to remove is either FA at the end of the year or too injured to move. I believe we resolved the attempts to circumvent the CBA with Pedroia’s contract are not allowed. Pedroia is going to play out his contract. Intermittently. The Sox will probably use an internal player or two. But not six. Probably not even four. And good thing because most fans don’t have the patience for younger players once they get called up. Remember when DD dealt all those ranked prospects for Kimbrel and Sale? A lot of folks said of that 22 and under crowd. “DD didn’t give up anything good.” And those were the ranked prospects. And now fans want to load up on all these unranked players and assume they’ll step right in like they own the place? Of course, DD doesn’t operate that way anyway. Expect at least 2 (and I think 3) of Chavis, Dalbec, Chatham, Hernandez, and/or Feltman to be dealt...

    The Sox aren’t resetting unless JDM walks and they avoid re-signing him. They have $111 mill committed to Price, Sale, Eovaldi, Vazquez, Pedroia and Bogaerts, and more depending on what Betts and ERod get, which should combine for over $30mill. That leaves just over $36mill to fill 19 or 20 roster spots, depending on Pedroia’s health. If JD doesn’t opt out, the Sox have another $21mill committed and still need 18 to 19 MLB players (plus up to 15 more players on the 40-man roster.) They can’t get under the limit even if everyone makes minimum wage. So why cut costs on a player with one year left (after this year)?
  25. notin
    So trade Bradley to start Dalbec? What if Dalbec has a .421 OPS? He currently has a .700 against AA pitching. He struck out over 37% of the time against A ball and AA ball pitching the last two seasons. Now you have the same offense and weaker OF defense to boot...
