  1. Uwasawa was already on the 40 man roster. The Sox currently have one open slot on the 40 man…
  2. My list just contains infielders for now. I wouldn’t DFA any more pitchers unless the new addition was a pitcher. Also I’m hoping the Sox use Vlad Gutierrez solely out of the bullpen. He’s a weak starting pitcher, but he might be a good reliever…
  3. RH bat killer? Good thing the Sox don’t have many those. Seen Wesneski pitch multiple times. Devastating slider that breaks about 2 feet. Hopefully O’Neill lays off of it, because it rarely stays in the strike zone…
  4. I’ve been doing that since March. But with a fair share of recommended replacements…
  5. Two of them on ground balls that barely traveled 60 feet and a third hit was off a backup infielder. Not much there to indicate he’s actually hitting the ball any better. And yet in spite of all that, he still might not get demoted. Because Hamilton and Reyes are still on the team, too…
  6. Someone needs to set those words to music. I want to upload them on mp3…
  7. Sox should have saved some of those 17 runs for Sunday Just getting it out of the way early…
  8. Unless you think you can tell MLB players how to hit. It's important that they understand the purpose of internet forums is easy access to an abundance of qualified hitting coaches...
  9. I can see calling Giolito the #1. No other starter on the Sox staff has ever even reached 160 IP in a season except Pivetta. It's a relative title IMO, and not an earned distinction...
  10. Hoping the Sox claim/sign Cooper in the meantime.
  11. No Reyes. No Hamilton. Yoshida back. His 89 OPS+ is Ruthian in comparison to Reyes and Valdez (25 each)...
  12. Or move Ref to 1b (where he has around 400 career innings) and sit Dalbec…
  13. Turner was a better chance? Based on what? I don’t see him in that lineup. Also, hiring Bloom turned out to be irrelevant since the budget was cut by Henry. So someone else was going to not fiend better? And please “some poster said I was right about Kike.” Dude, you cannot read. It’s that simple. Notin: Banning the shift is banning a strategy. That would be like banning guarding the foul lines Old Red: He thinks the shift means guarding the lines! Notin: Sox need better D at third, but they can’t use Casas and Devers as 1b/DH unless they use Turner in a bench role. Old Red: He thinks they signed Turner for the bench! Notin: If the Sox try to trade Yoshida, the best they could do right now is Jose Abreu. Old Red: He thinks they should get Abreu! All real examples. And all made by some guy who has now posted to brag about how he’s always right…
  14. It’s not about being right. It’s just talking baseball, which is the entire point of this forum. You should try it instead of constantly talking about other posters. And don’t go thinking you’ve ever been right about anything…
  15. Yes Yoshida is a weak defender. But know who else is? Valdez. Dalbec. Hamilton. Duran. And, well, most of the guys Cora trots out there. And I’m calling for him over Dalbec, who has five times as many strikeouts as total bases. Refsnyder is a former infielder with some 400 innings at 1b. Yesterday against RHP McKenzie, Cora could have put Yoshida in LF - and chances are good Yoshida knows where that is - and Ref at 1b. Yoshida has not started since April 20. Devers didn’t start DHing until April 24. Yoshida was in the dog house before Devers returned for some reason…
  16. Calling ******** on that. Did the Sox re-sign Turner? Did they move Whitlock to the bullpen? I mean, they did sign a Gold Glove outfielder once when you shined about them not getting players who could field. Of course, you singled that guy out as a player who couldn’t.
  17. What the f*** do you think sites like this are for?
  18. Like thinking the Sox should have re-signed Justin Turner or should put Whitlock in the bullpen?
  19. The Sox would benefit from Yoshida's .660 over Dalbec's .245. Dalbec right now has an unfathomable 5:1 K:TB ratio. 5 times as many strikeouts as total bases. That' just ridiculous. What does he have to do to get benched?
  20. In fact, the Mariners are 11-10 against the rest of the league, while the Pirates are 13-10 vs the rest of the league. The Guardians and the Orioles did do a number on the Sox right nw, however...
  21. If that is the case, then why would the Sox take on the larger deal of Robbie Ray in the first place? And if they did, do you think they pay arbitration raises to all of Houck, Crawford, Casas, Duran and Winckowski? If not, who goes and how does replacing that player with Robbie Ray help at all? Probably also worth noting, those 5 players represent the status quo, not a difference. The Sox came to an agreement with most of their arbitration cases this past year...
  22. Also, Casas and Winckowski reach arbitration in 2026, barring extensions...
  23. Local boy Steve Lomasney. I don't think Kottaras was a bust in that he never had much of a ceiling anyway...
