  1. It's not totally on DHam. Precisely because Duran, Casas and Devers are all struggling to a degree that you end up evaluating DHam. If the aforementioned three amigos were playing up to their norm, we wouldn't be talking about DHam.
  2. I get it that it's a small sample size, but Hamilton needs to play every day in AAA to get his bat going. I believe he has an option left. Look he is not Devers, nor Casas that we toss long leash to. We need another spark in the lineup. Bring up Mayer. He's hot right now. Hell exchange Roman Anthony for Rafaela. Guerrero gave us a lift today. His stuff works in the majors. Small things add up. Hamilton is not getting the job done.
  3. Maybe he can become another trading piece with a team in dire need of a starter due to injuries.
  4. I did discuss little bit about Romy being more valuable than Hamilton (one of my favorites) mainly because he can play 1B but he's athletic enough to play other infield positions. My guess is he can play 3B in addition to 2B. He is starting at 2B today go give Campbell "mental day off" (my guess)
  5. I like splitting Bregman/Story combo by inserting Abreu.
  6. He correctly thinks accumulating plethora of young talent will give him more options with the roster. Easier said than done but he's doing it.
  7. Looking back at the Priester deal with Milwaukee. I see that we receive a Competitive Balance Round A selection in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, and a player to be named later or cash considerations. That's pretty good. Who would've thought Sox was pitching rich to trade away one of its starters? Looks like we get the 33rd pick. Milwaukee was willing to part with THAT pick because they gained the 32nd pick from the Giants for losing free agent Willy Adames. We also received 75th pick (after round 2) for losing Nick Pivetta.
  8. What I usually hear is that 'mutual option' does not work. Very seldom do both sides agree. If he is has a good year, I'd think he'd look for multiple year deal. If mediocre or bad season, Sox probably wouldn't want him back. It does seem like one must thread the needle.
  9. It would be nice to be able to see the total daily pitches for our bullpen. I like what we have, just add a row for total at the bottom. Is that a big ask?
  10. This looks like a coin flip to me. Slaten, Chapman and Bernardino all available today for relief. Probably Winckowski is first up.
  11. Walker Buehler has mutual option in 2026 for $25M. Would either side accept?
  12. Story's injury history and Bregman possibly opting out, I would hang onto Mayer. Anthony has higher ceiling than our current outfielders Duran, Rafaela and Abreu. Would you give up Anthony, Mayer and Fitts for Paul Skenes of Pittsburgh?
  13. Yankees, Orioles and Rays have lost 2 in a row. Jays four straight. Despite throwing only 51 strikes, Bello was able to give the Sox 97 pitches and 5 innings. I am really anxious to see Giolito pitch next week. We should have Fits back sometime in May. Just need Casas and Duran to heat up a bit. This will be a good team at full strength.
  14. I predict that when Giolito returns next week, Justin Wilson will be sent down and Newcomb will be the long reliever. (lefty for lefty exchange). Chapman, Slaten, Whitlock, Hendriks, Bernardino, Winckowski Why not add Fitts and Dobbins........ That's our best 13 pitchers right now. (when Fitts returns)
  15. I didn't realize Bernardino has picked up a change up that he throws exclusively to right handed batters. It's good to see guys working on a new pitch instead of complaining about demotion.
  16. Good move by Cora coming right back with Hendriks. He needs to pitch.
  17. Good outing by Whitlock. He's not available Wednesday and Thursday. See who comes out in the 9th. We need bullpen help.
  18. Sox with 4 hitters with OPS of .800 or higher. Yankees with 3. Rays with 2. Orioles and Jays with 1 apiece.
  19. Really a bad move by not pinch running for Casas with Romy when he was on 2nd. Cora is a good coach but he's no genius. This is a winnable game. You got to coach to win.
  20. You need a shutdown inning. Bring in Whitlock for 2. Then worry about it......there's chance we may stretch out the lead. You can't lose in middle innings.
  21. Good to know he can do better.....50% strike out rate is subpar.
  22. You have Bernardino warming up and keep Bello vs Lefties?
  23. Romy can play 2B also in addition to 1B.
