Dalbec to Philly for LHP Michael Plassmeyer. Philly lost Rhys Hoskins for the season and could use a RHH compliment for Darick Hall, a 27yo former 14th round pick with 142 career PA (and 44 strikeouts). Dalbec, being a former Dombrowski draft pick, is a solution he’s familiar with. Plassmeyer is a 25yo LHP with good numbers but getting to be part of a bullpen crunch in Philly. Roster Resource doesn’t have him in their bullpen but he is on the 40 man roster, so trading him opens a spot for Dalbec…

1. That’s good news because Ort isn’t external. 2. Reread point #1…
-
I only named dates. Although I’d probably have kept Park over Ort, too, if I had that option…
-
I don’t get the Wallace/Mills trade. But part of that was me clearly valuing Wallace more than Bloom did, and also me knowing absolutely nothing about Mills. I still really don’t…
-
Oooh… the ol’ False Sense of Security stategy. They could release Goodrum. I’m fine with that. He could also ride the bench in Worcester. Whatever. He’s absolutely the least of the Sox problems right now…
-
Those are the dates. Don’t blame me. Park was acquired 11/23 as well. Either way, not many are happy with the whole Ort/Ward thing, but Ort has done absolutely nothing to justify it, and simply keeping him on the roster and hoping that happens is even more foolish. At this point, it’s not even Ward. I’d much rather have held onto to German over both Ort and Ward…
-
I hope Worcester management will do something similar. Goodrum is just a warm body right now…
-
The Rule 5 draft was December 7 and Park was DFAd December 13 and subsequently traded to Atlanta.
-
… Which is odd because Murphy is 16 months younger and actually been pitching. Why would we lament the 26 year old minor leaguer whose only thrown 71 IP total in the last 3 years? At some point, the best ability is availability…
-
Goodrum will probably be left in Worcester. He was only signed to pay shortstop there anyway…
-
It’s not so much a false premise as it is a strong possibility. If not Ward, then who?
-
It’s always been unjustified carrying Ort until now. And while people say that it makes not protecting Ward look worse, is there a single person on this board who thnks keeping Ort has ever been the right baseball move?
-
A lot of teams traded for Hoy Park this off-season and then DFAd him. Teams liked his glove and OBP skills, but not enough to dedicate a 40 man roster spot. That type of thing happens to a few players every offseason…
-
Correct. They still need to burn one for Tapia, which could simply be moving Mills to the 60 Day IL. If Sherriff is added to the 50 man, they need to burn another. That could be Chang or Ort. Or neither and Ort starts the season in the bullpen…
-
There’s no question the Wad situation was handled the worst possible way. The only thing worse at this point would be keeping Ort solely to avoid some PR, especially since the Sox Woolf still need to DFA someone this week…
-
Well, the point now would be would it matter if we lost Ward and then DFAd Ort? Or DFAd Ort and then had to DFA Ward? I don’t know how much of a loss Ward is, but I so Lao don’t think he’s the best pitcher we kept Ort instead of..
-
I think you missed the conditional and hypothetical part of my question…
-
2017 The pitching was headlined by Jay Groome, who would throw 55 IP that year followed by 4 IP total over the next two years. In early 2017, the pitchers after Groome were named like Lakins, Johnson, and Shawaryn…
-
But if Ward was on the 40 in place of Ort, who would be getting DFAd to fit Tapia, Sherriff, Alfaro on the roster?
-
Actually letting him go might justify the Ward decision. Right now we look at the team and see Ort in place of Ward. If Ort were DFAd back in December and Ward kept, who would be getting DFAd for these roster moves today? Who goes to fit Tapia/Sherriff/Alfaro on the roster? If Ward is a candidate, then we lose him either way…
-
DFA Chang and Ort. Put Mills on the 60 Day IL. Then you can add Tapia, Alfaro and Sherriff. Of course if they just promote Walter or Murphy, they won’t need to rely on Sherriff at all..
-
Notin’s Top Ten 1. Mayer 2. Bleis 3. Rafaela 4. Romero 5. Perales 6. Mata 7. Yorke 8. Anthony 9. Walter 10. W Gonzalez As Casas has been told he’s made the team, I’m not putting him on my list. He and Bello have officially moved from “The Future” to “The Present”…
-
1. I think Mills (flexor) is likely to hit the 60 Day IL. The 60 Day IL has already been ruled out for Rodriguez. Expect Sherriff to take this roster spot. 2. I don’t know what Ort has to do to get DFAd. Clearly it’s not “pitch poorly.” My fear is it has to involve something extremely gruesome. 3. They could keep Alfaro and demote the recovering Wong if they would just DFA Ort. Just do it! 4. Chang is likely gone because 1) he isn’t Teflon Ort, 2) Dalbec definitely has options and I’m not sure if Chang does. This is important since this spot is essentially a placeholder for Mondesi. Tapia gets added to this 40 man roster spot…
-
To me, it’s obvious how this ends. 1. DFA Chang, keep Dalbec on the 26 man roster. Add Tapia to the 40 man roster. Dalbec (who has options) only stays on the 26 man until Mondesi is ready. 2. Add Mills to the 60 Day Injured List, opening a 40 man spot for Sherriff. 3. Ort escapes again for some reason.
