It’s also easy to climb on the Teoscar bandwagon the day after he hits a grand slam vs the Yankees. But how much of that is being part of the Dodgers? It’s mid-June, and Teoscar already has 14 plate appearances with the bases loaded. For comparison, Devers and O’Neill have two combined…

Henry wanted to build Tampa North. Tampa got swept in their trip to Chicago…

Tyler is hitting better, but Teoscar plays more often…

6/08 The Day with No Game Thread ( Yet)
notin replied to vegasbob's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Hard to get excited about a lineup where Connor Wong bats fifth, and he is the clear best option to do so… -
I was counting 2022. Selling Vazquez and buying Hosmer wasn’ta commitment to either direction. The sell move is working out better right now, at least…
-
They did nothing the past two seasons. Neither lane. In 2022, they actually appeared to have sampled both lanes. The results of their seller lane did net them Abreu and Valdez, which is better than what they got as buyers (Hosmer)…
-
Imanaga is pure hindsight on my part. I only campaigned for Gray, Montgomery (begrudgingly) and a bunch of cheaper arms like Lauer, Woodruff, Miley, German and Odorizzi. And kept an open mind about Trevor Bauer…
-
Fair point. I only liked that deal because of the opt out…
-
Yes. But it will be more of a “relieved” type of happy than a satisfied one…
-
True. But that only added years and money to the equation. This off-season, Roki Sasaki might be posted. He’s 3 years younger than Yamamoto. And supposedly better..
-
Id be very surprised if the Sox went after Yamamoto with that kind of cash after dropping $362mill on 12 combined seasons of Price and Sale, only to have them physically pitch a total of two full seasons. But not typing the Cubs’ offer for Imanaga is looking like incompetence…
-
I think you will find those results are probably typical around MLB. Free agency is often paying a player in his 30s for what he did in his 20s. We got Randy wishing we signed Yamamoto, but I’d think avoiding him understandable given the Sox history. We signed Price and Sale for a combined 12 season and got what? Two healthy seasons?
-
I’d rather have signed Devers as compensation for losing Betts than have signed neither…
-
I think they identified a player they liked, made room for him in the budget, and went out and got him. I have no problem with that. He does need to start staying on the field….
-
So recommending Yoshida was mismanagement but Yamamoto was the smart move? Is everything based on hindght?
-
As much as people complain about Yoshida, can you really blame the scouts for recommending a player who had a higher OPS in Japan than Ichiro did?
-
f*** Yamamoto. The Sox didn’t even go hard after Imanaga, whose having a better season and whose AAV is in the same neighborhood as Kyle Gibson and Jorge Soler…
-
Agreed, but that normally benefits the Sox chances. As shown with the recent collection of rings. Like or dislike his interpretation of odds, he has no business telling me what my expectations as a fan are…
-
I can’t agree that mismanagement is defined with “results only.” The Yankees haven’t won a single title since they signed Gerrit Cole. Does that mean it was a bad decision?
-
I didn’t think about Bloom’s last two deadlines, which were an example of mismanagement so well orchestrated, they should be used in coursework as examples of what not to do…
-
I just think he used the number of teams. It raised no eyebrows with me. The Sox have won 9 World Series of the 120 played. So really if you use history to determine our odds, we’ve won one of every 14 World Series. What I didn’t like was him telling us fans expect titles every year. We don’t. But we do expect trying every year…
-
Nice historical Sox reference…
-
Does a bad - or in those cases, mediocre - solely the result of being mismanaged? If you ask me, the mismanagement started before the last few years and has had lasting effects…
-
That’s what I meant to type…

Did you see that lineup the Sox out out there against a very good pitcher? How far down the depth chart was Jamie Westbrook at 2b when the season started? Or Hamilton at SS?
