  1. Normally I agree. But like I said, I think this is more about Eovaldi than the Sox bullpen. Maybe full time starter duty this year is just too much for Eovaldi’s frequently rebuilt arm. Maybe it’s a choice of limited action or no action. This might not be the cautionary reaction I think you’re implying. It might be based on the condition of his arm post-surgery...
  2. Luis Valbuena also died in a car crash 3 months after being released by the Angels. But this Skaggs story is a shocker. Very reminiscent of Darryl Kile...
  3. I think with Eovaldi, you can predict it....
  4. Maybe he gets closer to Joe Biden?
  5. For his experience in the role, yes. But he’s paid in line with Davis, Chapman, Jansen...
  6. As I mentioned before, Halberstam talks about Sox and Yankee payrolls briefly in “Summer of ‘49”. According to him, the Yankees at that time were underpaid and the only way their players made real money was by winning titles. Back then, apparently low pay was a motivating factor...
  7. Sure we can. I get that teams in the hunt rarely (re: never) break up theirs team. But maybe I’m too stuck on this package, but I like the idea of Alex Verdugo and Julio Urias. Betts would be replacing Verdugo anyway, and Urias is in the bullpen....
  8. No but there is lots of evidence that pitching large amounts of innings is damaging to his arm. This is probably more about Eovaldi than the Sox bullpen...
  9. I liked Kimbrel and Keuchel over Eovaldi. But I can admit their prices then differ drastically from now
  10. Trade Betts now to any team that meets the lofty asking price...
  11. Yes, but with Eovaldi, it was obvious. Price getting hurt was an unexpected development. Did you really think Eovaldi wasn’t going to? Do you think this is his last injury? What’s the over/under for starts in his four years?
  12. He has 1.5 seasons left and is apparently on a quest for big money. Would you trade him?
  13. He’s responsible for the worst use of $240mill since Spider-Man 3...
  14. He was a success as a short term move, but the long term move is not likely to be so successful. His health history is not favorable at all ...
  15. Yes but the mid season acquisition did help put them on the radar...
  16. He’s going to have to make a decision himself before then. Trades don’t get thrown together in a coupe hours
  17. He was. Short term...
  18. Sorry. My time machine is acting up...
  19. But Pearce and Eovaldi are still here...
  20. For 72 hours, at which time he’ll get injured again...
  21. That would be today...
  22. Porcello, Moreland, Pearce, Holt and Nunez. The latter four get a wild card prospect at best. But more likely just a lot of Josh Tobias / Marcus Wilson types...
  23. But only for short term...
  24. So... give up on 2020 as well?
  25. 60 feet, 60 meters? Are these players so coddled they can’t handle a little conversion any more?
