Were the Sox small market when Dombrowski brought in guys like Blaine Boyer and Sean O’Sullivan?
-
Big market has nothing to do with it. If you need pitching or whatever, it’s another method of acquiring. Trades are simply not always an option. So either comb the waiver wire or call up one of the maybe half a dozen option available from the 40 man. That Wingeter didn’t work out isn’t an indictment of the process. Ultimately the guy wound up pitching a third of an innning more than Dominic Smith…
-
Luis Urias just didn’t provide the necessary impact…
-
It’s fun when you catch and unmask them, only to find out it’s always been Mr. Hollowell, the groundskeeper. And he would have gotten away with it if not for those meddling kids…
-
People condemn the entire dumpster diving process for every failed acquisition. But the Sox bullpen right now has Bernardino, Booser, Kelly, Criswell and a mildly resurgent Bailey Horn, all of whom were pulled off the scrap heap. Bernardino and Kelly are struggling right now, but both have absolutely contributed this season…
-
I think the Scott/Snelling trade is getting far too little mention as the biggest overpay. It would be like if the Sox traded Roman Anthony for Lucas Erceg….
-
Sims was a former top prospect for the Braves who washed out as a starter. As a reliever, he’s been pretty good. I saw him pitch Monday night against the Cubs…
-
Hardly. We’ve seen worse, as has every team. And the Sox (and every team) will continue to make waiver claims. Most won’t work out, but some absolutely will. I don’t see anyone complaining about Criswell anymore. And right now, we could probably use John Schreiber, who was a definite dumpster dive as well. Just because you want to scrutinize every move Duran make it right. Wingenters will come and go regardless of who is in charge. And I’d rather have an active GM/CBO who takes these chances than one who doesn’t…
-
If the Sox had a functioning bullpen, they easily have 3-4 more wins. Extra innings have been especially deadly. I don’t think they’ve kept a ghost runner on base since the ASB…
-
Those are the types of moves every GM makes all year long. Not sure why people get so worked up about them…
-
Sims, Garcia, Jansen and Paxton are far from trash. The best SP moved was Flaherty, but he only went to the Dodgers because he failed his physical with the Yankees. Given his recent history, this is not surprising…
-
To be fair, far too many of those runs were ghost runners…
-
I find it odd. Moving Criswell to the bullpen/spot starter role makes sense. But he seems more capable of handling critical innings than a few other arms in the pen, at least until Sims and Garcia suit up…
-
They gave up the pre-season BA #27 for a rental relief pitcher who is probably going to pitch 10-12 innings for them. For a point of reference, Roman Anthony was #21 on that list. Kyle Teel was # 62…
-
I did poorly…
-
I also think San Diego went way overboard for Tanner Scott…
-
Honest guess for Garcia Some combo of Lugo, Meidroth, Penrod, Sogard, Dalbec, and/or Guerrero…
-
White Sox fans might disagree…
-
Team spends over $1billion in December and still has to grab multiple pieces to stay in the race…
-
MLBTR is reporting the Angels got 4 minor leaguers for Garcia. I’m guessing Anthony, Teel, Mayer and Campbell…
-
Canha to the Giants? They were selling all along and then bought a bench bat??
-
Just Roman Anthony?
-
I would have liked a starter, but the Sox got two good relievers. I give Breslow a soft six…
-
So you think they’re holding out for Ana de Armas?
-
And Teel and Anthony and possibly Sidney Sweeney…
