Nunez? No Pearce?
-
It’s getting so that a bullpen can’t give up 21 earned runs in a 9 inning stretch without people getting all judgy...
-
He’s not closing because Cora is using him when the game is actually on the line and against better hitters. Not his fault Ryan Brasier couldn’t hold the lead against the bottom of the worst lineup in baseball
-
Barnes is far and away the best reliever in the Sox pen and your desperate searches for flaws in his games don’t change that fact...
-
And there was a time when the belief that the Earth was flat and the sun revolved around the Earth. And people believed it because everyone always had. Things change..,
-
11 runs in the last 4 innings
-
So the ideal hitter #3 hitter would be someone capable of avoiding double plays. Like a speedy flyball hitter...
-
Not just cost, but also years. Not like Kimbrel has expressed a willingness to take 2 or 3 years...
-
Just how well regarded is Dalbec? He’s a three-true-outcome guy in the minors. His future is probably a Russ Branyan who has the defensive skills to stay at third. And how is Kintzler (2.3 career fWAR at age 34) a better pitcher than Conley (3.0 career fWAR at age 29)?
-
Conley has more control than Reed had. Want a spare part potential free agent deal? Greg Holland? Cody Allen? For who?
-
What do you expect to get for Dalbec? Or what other better trade chip should the Sox part with?
-
Dalbec for Adam Conley?
-
Not the first time it’s resurfaced and fooled someone. Probably not the last, either...
-
This thread was created and titled in October, 2017, the day after Cora was hired. It’s was made as a joke, which is more obvious if you read the early posts...
-
Dombrowski hasn’t. He’s sticking to the idea you don’t need a big money closer in October if you build a deep enough rotation, which has been his MO for most of his career. Spend on the starters - skimp on the bullpen. Personally I don’t think you need a big name closer who costs lots of money and only handles the ninth inning. But you do need relief pitchers who don’t suck...
-
Cora might have stuck with Barnes, but with the worst hitters on the Guardians coming up, he probably figured he didn’t need him...
-
Weber isn’t really a farm system product. He’s a career minor leaguer who pops up in the majors every now and then. Keep those expectations in check...
-
It’s not like anyone is targeting Brad Hand here. The only name suggested was a 29yo career minor leaguer...
-
He also has a 5.09 ERA, but only a 3.28 FIP...
-
Who are you thinking of? Anyone on the 40 man roster?
-
The Angels have a deep pen and a glut of infield injuries. They have very little depth even with the explosion of Tommy La Stella, since their only other infielder (David Fletcher) is used everywhere. The Sox could give up an infielder (Nunez?). While Robles, Buttrey, Bedrosian, and Anderson are most definitely not available for Nunez, maybe late bloomer Felix Pena?
-
Very likely. But it’s not like Henry has been handcuffing Dombrowski with his $240mill payroll...
-
The thing is, it’s not like Brasier had a tough assignment. Perez is a career .208 hitter and Allen was batting .087 at the time. I think there is a strong possibility that the 2018 Ryan Brasier and his 30IP might not have been completely representative...
-
$$$$$$ And Kimbrel’s demands aren’t likely to go down much as the draft approaches...
-
Apparently he is, according to his lawyer. He declines all interviews..
