    Ah yes, the age old riddle If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear Jim Paxton scream out a sound after it crushes his left arm?

    Two years ago, the Sox got swept by the Orioles (for 3 of the Orioles’ 52 wins that year!!) and were outscored 18-5 in the series. Despite all the white flags after that series, a lot of people did watch the Sox make it to the ALCS that year…

    And when he’s positioned on the Injured List for 70 games?
  4. notin
    Not saying he will definitely improve, but it is one game. Right now Corbin Burnes is getting beat up by the Cubs. Not so sure he’s a #3 pitcher…
  5. notin
    And we could have had him had that cheapskate Henry been willing to relocate the team to Orlando…
  6. notin
    I never liked moving Kike off CF for Duvall. Just get an interim shortstop…
  7. notin
    So… you’re observation that he was mediocre was based on using cumulative stats from a season in which he played 93 games?
  8. notin
    They can be but: 1. He can’t be optioned until the 90 days are completed and 2. Again, Song’s biggest flaw is his inactivity. Prolonging that will not help. Also not sure if his 15 day rehab assignment for returning from the Military List is counted among those 90 days. It shouldn’t be, because it’s a rehab assignment. But I doubt the rules are specific enough to really know just yet…
  9. notin
    That’s true. But it doesn’t help his Rule 5 status…
  10. notin
    He still has to be on the active roster for 90 days this season. But now those days can’t start until end of May…
  11. notin
    I assume you were looking in a Mira’s you typed that…

    Vukovich was an ace hitter for the Yankees in the first Major League movie…
  13. notin
    Right. It’s like when people say the greatest hitter in MLB history was clearly Craig Grebeck. It’s not wrong; it’s an opinion…
  14. notin
    Then it was a bad move. We needed a Plan B first…
  15. notin
    Fairly certain jad was as well…
  16. notin
    Oops. Typed it. It’s his age 26 season. Not even going back to fix it..,
  17. notin
    They have to carry him for 90 days on the active roster. They can also not demote him all year…

    Well, I’m wiling to listen on Kike’s D as mediocre based on what’s supporting it. But to just say “that’s my opinion” (which, to be fair, was NOT said by the original poster who postulated it) is obviously going to garner questions and counterpoints…
  19. notin
    Not so sure that’s the definition of “opinion” as much as it is the definition of “delusion.” But that’s just my opinion. Also Noah Webster’s…
  20. notin
    And to say his defense was “mediocre?” Mediocre by definition means “ordinary or below average.” It’s a comparative description. So am I too assume anyone who finds Kike’s D as mediocre has found roughly 15 centerfielders who are better?
  21. notin
    Oh well. Why have data supporting a conclusion when someone can disagree based on absolutely nothing?
  22. notin
    Based on what? Hernandez was 4th in MLB for Defensive Runs Saved among MLB CFs for 2021-22, behind only Taylor, Straw and Buxton…
  23. notin
    And as he turns 26 before July 1, this is his age 26 season. Exactly as I said…
  24. notin
    I’m wondering if we’re looking at the pitchers all wrong and getting too caught up in old scouting reports defended by “you think he forgot how to pitch?” The real question is - did he ever know? Since 2020: Ward (age 26) has 81 IP (33 IP above A ball) Song (age 27) has 0 IP Groome (age 25) has 241 IP (160 IP above A ball) Ort (age 31) has 114 IP, all of it in AAA and MLB. I’ve shown no love for Ort for a while now, but even as a reliever he has managed to log more IP at tougher levels than the players lost to Rule 5. And Groome looks more likely to be “the one that got away” than either Ward or Song…

    Then why did you post Tomase’s opinion?
