    I’m fully in Camp Sell. I will enjoy this resurgence as long as it lasts, but I just think this team is too dependent on rookie pitchers and going for it and forcing them to overload could easily put next season at risk. Sell Gray, Chapman Coulombe and Duran. If there is time, add in Guerrero.

    At least one of his homies is still playing this year…

    Hey maybe he’s sleeping in his old room at mom’s house in Florida. The one with the Christian Yelich Fathead on the wall…

    Unless folks start getting activated from the IL at some point in the reasonably near future, those health issues loom large as a reason to sell…

    And curse Breslow for not foretelling that! When Breslow gets fired, I assume your choice to replace him will be Madame Cleo?
  6. notin
    Reportedly Breslow has been trying to do that with Yoshida. But that accomplishes nothing since he was expected to be on the bench. Did anyone even want Story at a discount? Trades are like tangos; it takes two…

    He probably has to include enough money that if just makes sense to keep them…
  8. notin
    He K’s for the same reason he walks - lots of pitches. He’s a 4th OF/ghost runner…

    So you think the Sox should have DFAd Story (2 yrs $46mill) and Yoshida (2 yrs $36mill)?
  10. notin
    You’re wrong. You’re also interested in Braiden Ward. I mean, not romantically or anything. Just as a role player on a Major League Baseball team.,,
  11. notin
    He’s Vern Stephens compared to Story…
  12. notin
    Sure. His electric stuff can charge up any bullpen. <rimshot> (Whats worse than Internet Dad jokes? Internet Physics Dad jokes, obviously)…

    But for the last two weeks, they’ve been a “good enough” offense. And as I said, it’s depleted with players like Seigler and Henr in there regularly. And those Worcester/bench bats in there are the only reason yesterday’s game wasn’t a white flag for me. Because of your best lineup gets shutdown by Anthony Kay, that’s only because your best lineup sucks…

    Well the Sox are on Small Sample Fire lately with a lineup featuring players like Cheng and Seigler who were not on the bench to start the year but rather were in Worcester. Add in Yoshida, a bench bat on the opening day roster, and thr Sox are better despite 33% of their opening day lineup being replaced, 44% on days Wong starts..

    Some like Ian Browne snd Tim Britton were critical of the Sox offense, primarily due to the absence of a “35 home run hitter”. Ian Browne saud “Where will the power come from?” verbatim. (I might argue not one analyst saw “giant” red flags or had the Sox offense as bottom 5. So if you can name someone who did it’s a big help.) But I think more analysts (Jim Bowden, Chad Finn, even Lou Merloni) liked this approach and figured this team to use better athleticism to their advantage on offense and defense. Some figured them to be a top ten offense like they were post-Devers. Those who keep adding “we said we need two bats” like to ignore the analysts who disagreed with them. (To be fair, we all ignore the analysts we disagree with.) But that need in January, February wasn’t as obvious then as it is now, with Durbin lately proving he is a capable bat himself…

    Lott was crazy, so I see how that urban legend started. But obviously, biting off an injured pinky would create an even graver hand injury and probably significant blood loss. Lott did once have an injured pinky amputated (by a doctor) rather than have reconstructive surgery that carried a longer recovery time…

    With Mayer hurt ( oh yeah), I suppose it’s also possible the other player they want is Contreras…
  18. notin
    I’m willing to bet the other player wasn’t Duran, who is expensive (by Pittsburgh standards) and awful (by any standard). Marcelo Mayer maked more sense. He’s cheap and can fill in at SS with Konnor Griffin out…

    There are 25 days until the deadline. Too much baseball to base the decision on the next 3 games…
  20. notin
    Until Romy and Moran this week, I was wondering if Breslow knew how to get players OFF the IL. Well aware he knows the process for getting them on..
  21. notin
    And it turned out to be Durbin, which is actually working out better…
  22. notin
    Go for it. I dare you…
  23. notin
    Heart says contenders and to grab a couple pieces. But head says cash on several players and gear up for 2027. The very young Sox rotation could be especially fragile and once the deadline passes, it gets harder to reload for any injuries…
  24. notin
    But it does put the Sox in a better position for a postseason appearance …
  25. notin
    Know who wouldn’t do that? Bloom, Toboni and Hazen. Interesting you chose three teams run by former Red Sox personnel…
