  1. None of us are. He hasn’t pitched enough ever to even let us know what his speed is…
  2. Even so, Arroyo has been worse than Reyes? Or does Reyes still have an option left?
  3. Not until December, assuming he is worth it by then…
  4. That’s baseball in the 2020’s. Tampa seems to use opener more often than the Sox do. And since the days of the 6-7 man bullpen are over, these games are not as detrimental to the pen as they used to be. But Bloom should have gotten a starter…
  5. To me the question is - why Arroyo over Reyes?
  6. Whitlock in the pen, yes. Houck can be in the rotation, and very likely will be. He’s not on the IL for any reason but a fluke play…
  7. Hopefully something comes from this, but I do doubt he gets added to the 40 man roster next year…
  8. Pablo Reyes survives another day…
  9. I don’t think his plummet occurred in the past week; he’s been struggling all year and that was on full view for every scout to see. Also he’s in A ball. Most of the players dealt for SP in deadline deals were in AA or better.
  10. You are obsessed with the notion that Paulino is a highly sought-after trade commodity…
  11. The list is incomplete without Fredbird…
  12. … or this year’s Major League team?
  13. I think they should have a gladiator battle for the rights to be mascot. Televise it on NESN
  14. No one lives in those states anymore…
  15. To be fair, the only reason Richards flamed out and went to the pen is because he wasn’t allowed to cheat anymore…
  16. 1. Who throws out bathwater? You drain it away, quite often down a drain with a well tested and approved “Baby Guard” filter on it. 2. What if it’s a Baby Dahmer?
  17. No drama in that…
  18. Kike was below replacement level at shortstop. Replacement level was a clear upgrade…
  19. This is at least an 80-85 win team. Why do people think tearing it all down and rebuilding is so easy? That’s a multiyear process that rarely works…
  20. Give Wally a blindfold and cigarette and stand him up against the Green Monster…
  21. And to start the year, trying out Kike was ok. But after Reyes was acquired and with Chang on board, using Kike was just wrong….
  22. Well, you did focus on the mental aspect. And it might be a factor for some. But I refuse to speak for them. Now as for bullpen wear, always an issue. Granted, any MLB arm they acquire might already come with its own set of attached IP. I expect Worcester to be a bigger factor than most of us prefer it be.
  23. Bloom’s waiver wire scouting isn’t the issue. Every GM does it. Even high-spending Dombrowski brought in such pitching luminaries as Blaine Boyer, Justin Haley and Hector Velasquez. The issue with Bloom is the failure to make bigger trades. He doesn’t need to empty the farm, but once in a while, deal your #10 or 11 prospect for an actual major leaguer…
  24. And hey… https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/08/dallas-keuchel-opts-out-of-twins-contract.html
