No one says Grissom is a guarantee. But plenty have said we don’t need him anymore because Story, Hamilton, Mayer, Valdez, etc. Of course that same cast of characters was here before Grissom and kept us all guessing then.
-
Depth is a good thing. Not sure why so many fans think it isn’t…
-
Plus Yoshida is coming off his JD Drew Moment...
-
I still don't hate Grissom. I get why the Sox wanted to move on from Sale and get a more reliable pitcher. I get why Atlanta took a chance on him. I get why Grissom made sense in this trade from each side's perspective. It is annoying that nothing worked out for Boston...

The Sox are riding some offensive hot streaks from this crowd. Rafaela is decent at SS, but leaves room for improvement there. Valdez couldn't catch a cold if he was naked in Norway. Hamilton is simply not passing as a shortstop. Grissom might not be the answer, at least not in 2024. But there is definitely a question worth asking here. This is why I think the sox need a good defensive SS (Paul DeJong?) to lock down the infield. Valdez can be demoted. Dalbec DFAd.
-
There is a good chance one or two of them stop contributing. Hamilton has not hit for a while. Valdez is certainly far from a guarantee. At what point do we start recognizing these guys plus Rafaela might not be the new version of Whitaker and Trammell?
-
It is a bit amazing to me how many people think Grissom is no longer needed, because 2b and SS will be filled by a cast of characters who were question marks as recently as May or are currently in the same prospect boat Grissom is in...

Bello hasn't been horrible. He's just been worse than the unextended Houck and Crawford...
-
You mean people simply not convinced of anything by his whopping 87 plate appearances? Or by his 170 plate appearances over two years? By the way, when counting the pollyannas who called him unlucky, do you count StatCast among them?
-
Tolerable to good in the minors? Check. Willing to pitch for no money? Check
-
BB before Masa bomb? You do not credit him enough, sir…
-
Brewer has been horrific this year. He’s lucky the Cubs placed him on IL over simply releasing him..
-
At least on that one you did say something to that effect. “Sale is getting a fresh start with a new good team, and I just think he will end up having a good year. If you don’t like I’m hoping, and predicting that Sale with have a healthy, and good 2024, which obviously you don’t then TDB.” Of course I will have to deduct points because once again you went and made up something that I’ve never said. I’ve made zero predictions about Sale this year, and only that I understood why they got frustrated with his last 4 years. Probably should deduct more points for bring happy the Sox dealt a player you thought would be good. But I suppose no one expects you to actually be consistent and logical…
-
Both are possible, but until we get any confirmation from Jansen himself, neither can be correct. As for me, I wouldn’t have minded seeing Jansen receive the honor, and I agree Clay Holmes going means either the selection committee is clueless or made up of Clay Holmes’ parents. Or both. But I am at least glad Jansen (and the rest of his bullpen cronies) get a couple of well-deserved days off, because they will be needed in the second half…

Post 333 mentions nothing of the sort and was a result of an argument between you and Hugh. If you’re going to be that guy who likes calling other peoples suggestions wrong, you really need to be more accurate about your own stuff. Still think I was wrong for wanting Houck and Crawford extended?
-
From a guy who said he didn’t mind seeing Sale go but thought the Sox overpaid to have him gone. Now see there nothing wrong with that particular criticism. But now you keep fabricating this “prediction” that it was easy to see Sale bouncing back. Just like you kept fabricating s*** I said just so you could taunt me…
-
More pinstripes?
-
And maybe now the Sox need to extend Houck and Crawford…
-
In a rare moment, I agree here…
-
Or for most of 2019. That’s why this bounce back has only been predicted by pessimists and liars…

7/7 Sox @ Yankee Stadium, 7:05
notin replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
He did a lot of damage this weekend. But that last home run came when being pitched around… -
He also has a $20mill option that vests with another 76 IP…
-
An injury risk for only 2 months is probably worth it. It’s not like they need to extend him to a 3 or 4 year deal here…

Bill James blasts current day baseball statisticians
notin replied to jung's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Actually the “Williams Shift” predates Ted Williams’ career. It was first employed against Cubs/Phillies left-handed slugger Frederick “Cy” Williams, whose career went from 1912-1930… -
Definitely a solid add…
