    So what does a plan to build a team look like? Or what makes you conclude he has no plan? And I say this honestly not knowing…

    This obviously isn’t going to last, but if McGuire can just bring his glove and bat ninth, I have no issues with him starting in 2023…
  3. notin
    And exactly what evidence would you look for to recognize either? The ones out here on this board recommending moves, we’re the ones without plans. And of us if not all are aware of that…

    You missed the point. Yes last night was frustrating. But that kind of thing does happen. Blaming it on the GM as being “poorly constructed” when this team had injury replacements at 1b, 2b, cf and RF speaks more about the frustration and desire to blame this about the team..

    Right. No team in history has ever done that before. Didn’t Epstein’s Red Sox have similar frustrations back in the 2005 ALDS against the White Sox?

    He’s contractually forbidden from biking with Chris Sale…

    Best bets are arbitration eligible pitchers on low budget, non-competitive teams. That makes the most likely candidates to be Pedro Lopez and Jesus Luzardo, from what I can see…

    His 4.12 in 9 career starts does put him a lot closer to Mike Maddux than to Greg, but I’m not sure I’d call him “terrible.” If that’s terrible, then what adjective describes Gerrit Cole and his 4.60 ERA since the All Star break?

    Most ball players go where the money is. If the Sox meet his price, he’ll stay…

    Hugh did like Alcantara, which would be great. IMO right team, wrong pitcher. Alcantara is probably not available, since they just extended him to a VERY reasonable 5 yr $56mill extension. Pedro Lopez and Sixto Sanchez are probably more available…

    Did you pledge more?

    And extend Devers…

    I have my doubts “elite SP” is a realistic target. For one thing, I’m guessing it sounds like a rare commodity that’s difficult to acquire. For another, injuries or not, the Sox made some of those moves last off-season. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sox cobbled together a rotation from Sale, Paxton, Pivetta, Wacha (hopefully), Whitlock, Crawford, and Bello while still having Winckowski, Mata, Ward, and a few others ready in the minors for depth. Focus more on the bullpen, hopefully 3 new arms. Headlined by Michael Fulmer. Not sure why people think Story “can’t” return to SS. Whether or not he should is another matter, but is there some reason he just is physically unable to? As for the rest of the lineup - the need probably 2b, 2 OF and a DH. DH might wind up being Casas. And Enmanuel Valdez might even be in the mix for 2b. But with no close OFs, I hope the Sox focus on players with good OBP and defense…

    They also have Cincinnati. And they have 6 games against the Yankees, whom they have beaten 4 times in their last 5 games…

    That’s been one of my points in the 2023 thread
  16. notin
    That was just pathetic
  17. notin
    That’s what I was thinking but it’s moot now…

    Duran should run here

    I stand by this…

    Only in September. They were a lot of fun for 5 months…
  21. notin
    I know he has a checkered past, but when McGuire comes up he’s been able to make good things happen…
  22. notin
    Bear in mind Dalbec is replacing an injured player there now…
  23. notin
    They shouldn’t sign Devers because Mookie got away. That’s actually why they extended Bogaerts (good) and Sale (awful). That’s not how a GM should build a team. They should extend Devers because he’s a young player capable of being a foundation you build a team around for the next several seasons…
  24. notin
    Are there better FA options to go large and long on? To me, Devers outranks the field…

    Out of curiousity, what was the consensus about Bloom after 2021?
