Want it make sense for him to downplay it, from an accountability standpoint? I do believe Bailey is impressed and thinks he can work with some of these pitchers…
-
Not sure why the Sox (and numerous other teams) not spending heavily in free agency is some sort of tragedy…
-
They won’t sign a guy with a horsewhip…
-
As slow as the Sox have been, they are right there with the rest of the league (except the Dodgers). There are still 27 starting pitchers listed on MLBTR. Granted, they still list Paxton but they don’t list Trevor Bauer. You could still make a very competitive rotation with these remaining arms. This is why missing out on Paxton just won’t bother me. Heck I’m more upset about missing out on Aroldis Chapman…
-
You’re running up the white flag after missing out on a starting pitcher who’s been averaging 30 IP per season? I know everyone wants SP help, but Paxton has shown us he’s more problem than solution. If the Sox want to save mo year, they should just go sign the guy they were going to need to replace Paxton in the rotation anyway and cut out the middle man…

Never play poker against a man with 13 aces…
-
If fans want continuity, they may need a Time Machine. Most teams nowadays turn over at least 20 roster spots every 5 years…
-
Opener is a relevant word in anyone’s 2024 MLB vocabulary. And if you want to be Tampa North, it’s an important word…
-
Some of those pre-MLB extensions do backfire. I’m looking at you, Scott Kingery…
-
To be fair, Urquidy has actually pitched 160 IP at the MLB level. Houck has not. In fact, Houck has only topped 70 one time, regardless of extrapolations. Urquidy would likely be an improvement. Just not necessarily a big one…
-
He showed you!!
-
I think so for the names suggested. Obviously Houston might feel different…
-
As much as I agree Houck, Whitlock and Winckowski all belong in the bullpen, that situation gets less likely with every passing day. The biggest hope lies in the abundance of unsigned free agents, which do serve as a reminder that the off-season isn’t over yet…
-
They’re very similar in many ways, but Houck’s career high in IP is 106 while Urquidy’s is 164. Houck has had his worst all around year last year with only 106 IP. He looks like he can be an asset at 75 IP or less, but too many more and he just gets exposed. While he dazzles no one, Urquidy at a minimum can eat more innings than Houck, and probably with less reduction in performance…
-
It’s not like he’s suggesting Mayer, Teel, or Anthony. Or even Wikelman. My question is - is Jordan enough?
-
I’m all for getting that type of flexibility out of Slaten. Obviously a lot depends on a Giolito bounce back and a step forward from Bello. Neither are unreasonable asks (but that doesn’t exactly make them guarantees either). Add one starter (Clevinger? Lauer?) or trade for one (Duran for?). Sign Duvall for RF. Add one bullpen arm (Peralta? A Chapman?) This team would then look a lot better in my eyes…
-
Not sure were this going, but Worcester needs starting pitchers, too. Criswell is rotation depth, coverage in the 7th to 10th starter range. He is not battling for a spot in the opening day rotation, unless there are multiple injuries. Of course he probably will make a few starts at the MLB level. I can’t tell you how many, but I can tell you it will be too many. And I put the odds at him finishing the season on the Sox 40 man roster at less than 25%…
-
My thoughts, the Sox most likely/frequent starting lineup: C - Wong 1b - Casas 2b - Grissom 3b - Devers SS - Story LF - Duran CF - Rafaela RF - O’Neill The defense is better than last year. I’ll stop there…
-
Have Bill Paxton and Robert Duvall ever made a movie together?
-
10 games over. Interpret that as you like…
-
Pedro had them at 12-15 games better with improved defense last season. Seems like a stretch to me. I can’t say the D has improved for 2024 since I don’t know the starting lineup. I’m just fired anyone in the front office said the word “defense”…
-
The man did unlock Kevin Gausman…

Second team = second chance now? This page needs updating. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/second%20chance
-
I don’t see it as any sort of second chance. In order to get a second chance, you need to fail on your first one…
-
You literally said he was on his second chance. He skyrocketed through the Atlanta farm system - no small feat considering who else was there with him, and the primary focus is on the fact that Atlanta can’t play him in baseball’s most difficult position (not counting catcher). What does Grissom have to do to receive any sort of comment that’s not about his flaws?
