    The A’s recalled outfielder Skye Bolt. Not sure if he has been mentioned on this thread yet, but he needs to be...

    Marte has two option years left at $12.5mill and $13.5mill. As cheap as the Pirates are, I think they can still afford him...

    None of which changes the fact that, despite JBJ’s offensive struggles, no one on this team (or organization) has made a good enough argument for themselves to be starting over him...

    I say “vayse”

    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...

    To be more specific, it’s a right-handed hitters’ park...

    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?
  16. 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...
  18. 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...

    You mean like you did on page 389 of the “Realistic Look” thread?

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

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

    And if you think it’s going to be hard to reset, imagine how hard it’s going to be to win...
