  1. I don’t get the constant re-arranging of the same pitchers as a way to cover injuries and ineffectiveness instead of bringing up the occasional prospect. I get keeping Bello down. But Seabold and Winckowski and German are all 25 and 26 years old. Give them a legitimate shot that’s longer than being 27th man for 3 innings of a doubleheader…
  2. You do realize that the Sox are currently holding a WC slot, right?
  3. Wow he got bumped back up in value. Last I looked he was at 17.5, but back then his OPS was also .345. He must have started hitting, but I do think that should have been expected to some degree…
  4. On this staff, the only way to know your role is to get injured…
  5. The Sox really do need to give some of the farm players a shot rather than constantly re-arranging the roles of the pitching staff. It’s like they seem to think if the can arrange these 5 pitchers in just the right order, they will somehow become 7 pitchers. Let Houck close. Let Seabold or Winckowski start…
  6. I’m calling it now. Duran to SD for C Luis Campusano. Campusano - won the Sox reportedly wanted in the Betts talks a couple years back - is sort of in the same boat as Duran. Both have rankings in their past, success at all levels, and are buried behind vets neither team wants to move. Plus the Sox need a catcher and the Padres need OF help (and position players who aren’t shortstops). BTV has Campusano with a surplus value of $17.5 mill and Duran with $14.8 mill. So is not ridiculous by their standards. It makes so much sense it will clearly never happen…
  7. Well, if the Sox were selling, it would be. Right? I’m starting to think got a little to used to that Arizona sun and now can’t hit it any weather under 85 F…
  8. Verdugo is in apparently among the top quarter for all MLB hitters for numerous metrics, but he hasn’t been lucky. Technically, he’s been Shift-Bitten. This means next season - if he continues to make this type of contact - he should be much improved in the numbers we all look at…
  9. If the Sox don’t bring back Bogaerts, we already know who the starting shortstop will be…
  10. But a month ago, they assumed he could do back to back innings. And not just two. The handling of Houck from starter to piggyback pitcher to M-W-F closer has been a season-long source of confusion for me..
  11. Robles and Brasier have been two of the hardest hit pitchers in MLB this year and are best avoided in any key situation…
  12. Odd limit for a guy they viewed as a starter just a little over a month ago…
  13. So the Houck As Closer experiment is over after 1 successful inning? Not sure why Robles keeps getting more and more rope. Robles has been one of the worst relievers in MLB this year…
  14. If there’s nowhere for him to play, they’ll probably just trade Duran for a catcher…
  15. He was not being pursued for his bat…
  16. Glad Cora finally did this…
  17. Well, college ball in Arizona…
  18. Arauz has been DFAd
  19. I’m fine with Houck not starting…
  20. Opposing hitters, for one…
  21. Ohtani is a free agent after next season. That might factor into his jewelry options…
  22. Nathan Hickey had nearly as many walks, half as many strikeouts, and only trails Kavadas by .017 in OPS. He’s also a year younger and gets negligible attention…
  23. They lost Pettitte. If they “knew” about Cano, are you saying they condoned cheating?
  24. John Schreiber, too. But especially Wacha and Pivetta. Folks were down on Pivetta as recently as early May…
  25. Whether or not he’s the best doesn’t change that he is definitely in the argument…
