    And maybe players could be assigned defensively based on how bad they’re hitting. Duran could be our SS this year!

    3-7 is one way to look at it. 35-12 is another…

    As the guy who (I believe) started thr Pursuit of Marte, I figured his issues might make him available. Turns out I was right in that 1) they did and 2) Breslow reportedly inquired. However apparently AZ forgot to mark down the guy you’re trying to move…

    The “saving runs” people are missing something. The important thing is to beat up the opposing bullpen to make tomorrow easier…

    Yea, like that Sox trade…

    Striking out 4 times active…

    That’s like taking out Babe Ruth of the’27 Yankees and replacing him with a bigger, scarier Babe Ruth-eating Babe Ruth…

    I think he listens to me far too often…

    Jones, White, Monasterio, and Sogard with Alec Gamboa pitching? All at once? Shades of the ‘27 Yankees!

    Whether we agree with it or not, I can promise you a larger factor in the length of the rehab assignment than many might want it to be is the quality of the replacement player…

    And that applies to every Sox trade ever…

    His struggles to date appear to be related to strike zone and not his wrist. A 1 for 14 stretch doesn’t necessarily mean he belongs in the minors…

    7 PA with 2 walks and only one strikeout and a double with 2 RBIs. But the bigger deal is he swung without pain and was cleared by the hand specialist…

    I don’t think starter was as high on Breslow’s list as catcher. I agree the Sox needed one and figured Tolle and Bennett would either be limited or (temporarily) shut down. Maybe Breslow has more faith in Holobetz and Paez than I have.

    I seriously doubt the Sox acquired Rutschman for any other reason. Do people think his plan was to grab every RHH catcher and block the Yankees?
  16. notin
    He missed 3 weeks. Not like he was out since April. And he hit well when he did play in Worcester…

    But they sang “Born on the Bayou”, “Green River”, “Chooglin’” and it’s follow up “Keep On Chooglin’”…

    I would reverse that order at a minimum. Also need to get CCR some love on that list…

    Had he signed him for 5 or 6 years, I could see that working against him. But signing a guy to a bad 1 or 2 year deal? Less likely. And with Crochet, Houck, and Crawford all hurt and Bello in the bullpen, Sandoval is a godsend right now…

    I wish it was. Maybe the Sox could have drafted local Worcester Burbs Boy me instead of wasting that high draft pick on the So Cal Pepperdine Pepperpot Steve Rodriguez, who, I’d like to point out, wasn’t any better than me in the long run…

    Sandoval isn’t the issue. Not getting anyone when Bennett times out was a bigger deal. Given their depth, I’m glad they still have Sandoval. What bothers me more is having to rely on Holobetz or Paez or Wehunt…

    Theres like zero chance Breslow gets fired. Zero. He made the postseason last year, is on pace to do so again. And did it all without any of those ugly long term contracts Henry clearly hates. In fact, he unloaded the biggest one in the process. And this year, it’s been happening without his ace, his starting LF/DH, now his backup LF/DH, his starting SS, his starting 2b, and his 2nd and 3rd best bullpen arms, plus other various assorted nicks, bruises, sprains and strains. Why on Earth would Henry fire him?

    If you say Devers money went to Contreras - a point made by the OP that could be easily contended but for now, let’s roll with it - than the Sox traded Devers for their entire infield during that 32-5 run...

    Better than I expected but I also said he was a solid #2….

    Well, we kinda did take back some salary in the form of Jordan Hicks. But that deal was a bit small abd I was surprised about the inclusions of Harrison and Tibbs…
