    Well, it was a small list…

    This will be fourth time the Sox have had the lead in the ninth inning or later since the ASB and lost the game…

    I support that walk. But the Sox really need a GIDP here
  4. notin
    Oh good. Chase vs Verdugo, Soto and Judge with one RISP. This doesn’t have recipe for disaster written anywhere…

    Oh Kenley. When does Liam Hendriks get back?

    Turning 50 in 8 months…

    Kenley hates drama-free baseball…

    Unless it’s a 60 day IL stint, it didn’t open up a spot on the 40 man roster. They could push Brandon Walter to the 60 day IL…

    In my eyes, Bernardino is the #3 lefty in the bullpen. But Cora either still has faith in him or lacks my faith in Bailey Horn…

    Two other prospects have been included in that deal. No names yet…

    Sox/Blue Jays talking about Danny Jansen. I ignored that position in my review of what positions could use the RHH upgrade…

    The issue I see with this team is where they would add a RH bat. 1b? Consindeting the Sox are chasing the postseason with a platoon of Dominic Smith and Romy Gonzalez, they have plenty of room to upgrade. 2b? Hamilton is basically league average. Westbrook seems like a career minor leaguer living his dream. If the Sox get a 1b, Romy can take the weak side of the platoon. Detroit’s Andy Ibanez is a great option, as he has quietly become one of the best bats vs LHP in all of MLB. SS? Rafaela isn’t a good SS. He’s fringey there with the glove. But getting a RHH SS who can field as well seems like a tall order. DH? Masatska is hitting RHP, but is weak vs LHP. Someone like Mark Canha would be a good compliment. RF? A platoon bat for Abreu (who isn’t likely going anywhere) could push Refsnyder to a DH platoon. That’s 5 possible positions. I suspect 1b and/or 2b would be the best candidates, assuming they all fit on the roster. But right now we’re chasing the postseason with David Hamilton, Dominic Smith, Romy Gonzalez and Jamie Westbrook manning those positions. Who had THAT on preseason bingo?

    Less Bernardino, more Horn and Booser…
  15. notin
    I still believe!!

    He blew a 2 run lead in LA second game after the ASB…

    Also pretty heavily influenced by one bad outing in Coors Field. Before that, he had a 3.72 ERA/3.12 FIP with a .650 OPSA in that stretch…

    Seattle is taking the fork in the road!!! Although I think that path will be more common, since the true sellers are so few…

    Odds are against all of them making Cooperstown, but that hardly makes them equals. Dustin Pedroia isn’t in Cooperstown. Neither is Ed Jurak. So clearly they’re the same. Right? Also it might be a tad early to write off 23yo Grissom…

    Who plays until he’s 41 years old? Getting into some very unprecedented territory hear…
  21. notin
    Pivetta delivered 6 shutout innings against the NL West leading Dodgers in his start before that one. I take it that’s forgotten not
  22. notin
    Not really. Westbrook is 31 years old and in his first season. In order to get on a HOF ballot, a player needs a minimum of 10 seasons in his career, meaning Westbrook would have to play until he was 41, an age much less than 1% of ball players reach while active. Grissom (23) and Hamilton (26) could both achieve this requirement at a more realistic ages…

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more trades like this - two buyers swapping their depth with each other. It’s trickier, because certain stars have to align for it to happen. A couple years ago, the Phillies and Angels made a fun swap of Brandon Marsh for Logan O’Hoppe. It was one of those depth for depth deals that made so much sense, no one saw it coming…

    If you go to a six man rotation to give additional rest to yours starters, you defeat the purpose by having them go more IP per start. For example for simple math, look at a 60 game stretch. If a five man rotation goes 5 IP per start, each starter makes 12 starts and pitches 60 IP each. A six man rotation going 6 IP per start would make 10 starts each and pitch 60 IP each.
