He didn’t get any less than Ron Roenicke…

Abreu and Duvall. Get some SP and bring on 2024!!

In other news… https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-sam-fuld-among-leading-152429737.html He’s been mentioned previously by some sources…

Maybe a platoon bat?

Did he ever actually complain about it? The story started off with a Ken Rosenthal article in The Sporting News that said Lackey was due to finish up his last year at minimum wage and if he didn’t like it, his only leverage would be to simply retire. He then went on to say ultimately the two sides will probably agree on a two year extension instead. Massarotti yhen write an article that started off but saying “Per Ken Risenthal, Lackey has threatened to retire rather than play his final year at minimum wage.” Of course, that’s not what Rosenthal said - not at all. And neither party spoke to Lackey about it. But from the Massarotti article sprung up this whole story about how Lackey refused to pitch for minimum wage. Lackey was then dealt to St. Louis, where he quietly pitched for minimum wage for the entirety of the 2015 season with no complaints…

So no one thinks Noah Song is worth protecting?

Yeah and so are my expectations. But a lot of that was due to 2018…

Ok so the 2019 team was really more inline with our expectations. Or st least it should have been…

9/24 Red Sox about to win series vs White Sox

Lies!! You’re lying. How could the Sox hitting with RISP have sent you to the liquor cabinet when there was no hitting with RISP?!?! -
I don’t consider backup 1b to be any level of priority and if it ever gets to be a need the only requirement shouldn’t be “already has a uniform”. After all, if your answer is Dalbec, you don’t really have one either…
-
If you were asking who it is right now, why did you say we would have to sign Duvall first? I really don’t care who it is now. They could give Refsnyder a chance and it won’t ring the season…
-
The Sox have three players on the 60 day IL who aren’t even on the 40 man roster yet and will have to be added once the season ends. Now two of them (Ort and Wyatt “Still Alive” Mills) are DFA candidates on there own. Hopefully the new CBO isn’t so enamored with Ort. But certainly Duran figures to be reinstated. Other good DFA candidates are: Jacques Garza Gillaspie Weiss Llovera Dalbec Mata If you want to protect 5 players from the Rule 5 draft, all of the ones listed need to go (one for Duran plus 5 others plus Ort and Mills). And if the Sox want to make a Rule 5 pick, they need to jettison someone else. And hey, maybe we can get a backup 1b in the Rule 5 Draft!!!
-
Oh yes i forgot about that rule that the backup first baseman has to be on your roster the previous September. Theres no reason to keep Dalbec around beyond the questionable viewpoint that the only requirements to be a backup first baseman are a pulse and the complete inability to play the position. There will be plenty of non-bank breaking options available if this is even considered a need at all. And if the Sox somehow think they need one, why not try and find a player who can actually play the position?
-
Yes if you think of the clear outlier as the norm. The 2018 team was essentially the same as the 93 win 2017 team. So in 3 years with largely the same roster, the team won 93, 108, and 84 games. Are you really trying to argue that the 108 was the clear norm and the 93 and 84 seasons were the outliers?
-
This is a blatant lie that was started by Tony Massarotti, the True Worst Sports Journalist in Boston History. Lackey never threatened to not play that year, and in fact did play for the minimum for the Cardinals, who, unlike the Sox, are not a team he chose to play for…
-
Anyone else? Dalbec isn’t a good 1b. Why is he worth keeping around solely as a back up?
-
No one wants Dalbec. Hes 28, can’t hit MLB pitching, struggles defensively, and requires a 40 man roster spot. His only redeeming baseball asset is he still should have one option remaining next year, so while he needs to be on the 40 man roster, he will not need to be on the 26. Until 2025. Dalbec is DFA material. His best chance for survival rests on the fact that there are a few others somehow even more deserving of a DFA…
-
I didn’t see jad respond at all, and 5Gold just said he liked the 2019 team more than the 2022 and 2023 teams. But that doesn’t have to mean he enjoyed that team…

They might not catch the Yankees, but the Bronx Bomb Targets are perfectly capable of coming back down to meet the Sox… -

The best thing they can do with Crawford at this point is build up some stamina. -
If there are legitimate concerts about defense, Teoscar Hernandez is not a good option. Especially given the size of the train trying to run the Sox best defensive outfielder (Verdugo) out of town. Signing Hernandez and moving Verdugo means right field at Fenway would need to be manned by Hernandez, Duran or Abreu. Abreu is the only passable option defensively… If we need a big right-handed bat in the outfield, just bring back Duvall…

So can World Series, but in still want Boston to go…

The two most exciting words in sports are “game seven”.
-
I disagree. I think it is possible to do, but Bloom himself definitely didn’t do it.
-
It was part of Bloom’s job to think that far ahead. Although i would have greatly preferred he bring back Betts. Bogaerts and Devers just are not on that level.
