Why take crap offers? That's not how you rebuild. The Sox had a crap offer for Sale and passed on it, and waiting got them 5 years of a legit prospect/potential starting infielder... Is the plan supposed to be loading up for the future or just cutting payroll today?
-
He's not pitching 140 IP next year. He's probably out until June/July 2025...
-
Unfortunately not mathematically correct unless you have found a way to divide by his 0 IP...
-
Right. They’ve supposedly been marketing Jansen and Martin all off-season, but both are still with the team. So suddenly other teams are going to be interested after Giolito went down? There won’t/can’t be a fire sale until teams are buyers or sellers…
-
So… probably not there for the medical staff to catch in his contract physical…
-
Was Monty supposed to be a one year investment?
-
Henry didn’t go the bathroom without insurance. Of course that might be another matter..
-
The Sox may have more money to spend, depending on how much of Giolito’s salary is now covered by insurance. For what Giolito was paid, the Sox could probably pay Lauer, German and Stanek. Definitely two of them…
-
We live in a Blame Culture. Something went wrong - therefore someone needs to be accountable. The reality is pitchers get injured by pitching. Has Giolito thrown any pitches? Than that might be the culprit. Teams know this, and that’s why as starting pitcher salary increased, their role has decreased…
-
Bello finished weakly…
-
Sign both. And Montgomery and Stanek…
-
Exactly. The staff overlooks major elbow injuries and then recommends the team pay you as if they don’t exist…
-
Should have added Woodruff, too…
-
If so, the Sox should have caught it before signing him…
-
Partial UCL tear. He’s doing a great job at replacing Sale…
-
While you think it was an obvious statement, it might not have even been true. I mean, he’s definitely clearing waivers. So there’s a good chance the Sox still keep him anyway…
-
Not until he gets officially DFAd…
-
My goal is to get rid of Joe Jacques. But if the Sox do push him on to the 40 man, it’s because he’s cheap. And as he’s already 26, he’s also probably close to being expendable…
-
Agreed. I’d greatly prefer even Lauer over that crowd. But I’m just hoping they don’t do it half ass like they did last year and not even bother at the very least adding a reliever…
-
I think that would be more important if they view Sogard as anything more of an emergency fill-in/organizational depth who probably never secures a bench spot in Bostson full time. If he is just some emergency fill-in, they might see what he can do while he is swinging well and hope it translates to a decent week or two with the parent club. And if they need to DFA him afterwards, he could easily sneak through waivers. Especially in April, when fewer 40 man roster spots open up around the league for a waiver claim.
-
If the plan really is to wait until next year, it could easily go wrong. Even the players who have not yet extended still have 8 months to do so. If the Sox are not sold on Montgomery for some reason, I think the plan is to get another starter internally, which means more Houck and/or Whitlock and possibly Winckowski. At the very least, if that is the plan, hopefully they at a minimum backfill the vacated bullpen spot. Ryne Stanek is the best available RP still looking for work...
-
He will probably wait until the losers of the Snell sweepstakes decide to get involved…
-
Still hopeful on Montgomery. I mean, he’s gotta pitch somewhere…
-
… who don’t think attributing pitcher credit for a team effort makes sense…
-
Using bWAR, Tiant and McLain WS a close race. But that same method has Cy Young runner up Clemens clearly dominating over the winner Welch with values of 10.4 and 2.9. Clemens lead the league in multiple categories; Welch only lead in wins. Clemens was clearly the better pitcher. Welch just pitched on a better team. Bartolo Colon over Johan Santana in 2005 was another such award mishap…
