Team needs clutch hits from someone other than Duvall… -
Most #1 starters (definition pending) have a shorter shelf life than position players. Start there and the #1 starter might be a #3 by the time you put a team around him…
-
But you chocked…
-
And the reason the Sox have produced so few pitchers in that time, whatever it is, it is ABSOLUTELY NOT because 2 draft picks in a 12 year stretch didn’t work out….
-
Missing on two #1 draft picks in the last 12 years didn’t make the Sox farm thin. Houston chose Mark Appel and Brady Aiken in consecutive years as the NUMBER ONE OVERALL PICK in the entire draft and both completely busted almost immediately. Yet somehow they keep churning out quality pitching…
-
I think you do still have to count Whitlock. He and Bello could be big parts of this rotation for the next 4 years…
-
You think he still gets invited if they’re 30th? One thing to bear in mind is the Sox have 5 pitchers out right now, and it’s impacting the rotation and the pen. There may never be a day when the entire staff is healthy, but they still could step up if the returning arms do what they’ve shown they’re capable of…
-
His rotation choices in 2022 finished 18th in fWAR and 19th in FIP. Not sure that’s all that fine…
-
Well, it hurts competitively short term but it doesn’t hinder it long term…
-
Agreed. I get he will see something in some prospects that I - as a non-scout - won’t. But really so far his trades outside of Pivetta have not yielded much pitching help for now or in the future. Even the supplemental bullpen arms in 2021 were temperamental at best. Although I think the jury is still out on Winckowski…
-
I think you missed his point…
-
I do wish they’d just signed a short term shortstop instead of moving Kike. But then very likely no Duvall, and the early returns on Duvall are worth it so far…
-
Houck is probably tradable. He’s a good RP, but Winckowski is looking good in that role so far. And many think Mata could excel in that role, too…
-
Even longer if you never draft any…
-
He knows how to get them; he just doesn’t commit to them. This could be part of an overall philosophy that starting pitching is a bad way to build a team. While contrary to what we all grew up with, it also certainly has become a methodology that has shown to have massive flaws, especially when done “the easy way,” i.e. using free agency. If they win with a substandard rotation, I don’t care. But I do if they lose with one…
-
Who determines if you have a chance for an “extraordinary career”? Or, for that matter, who defines it?
-
Why? Over 99% of all Division I athletes find careers in something other than sports. The purpose of college athletics isn’t to populate professional leagues…
-
Absolutely was. The Rule 5 draft is older than the American League. Christy Mathewson was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the Rule 5 draft in 1900. His rights were then traded to the Giants for fellow Hall of Famer Amos Rusie…
-
Al Bumbry, Garry Maddox, and Jim Bibby all served in Vietnam during their minor league careers…
-
If the military academy athletic programs suffer, I don’t see this as a big deal…
-
I suppose Kelly could take Ort’s seat on the Worcester bus…
-
Brasier isn’t going anywhere for a while. And if they can get a bullpen where he is the 7th or 8th best option and is limited to mostly mop up work, that’s not a bad thing…
-
They’re going to keep everyone they can and not deplete depth this early. The players with an option left are most likely demoted…
