I like Hamilton over Valdez. At some point, Grissom will get another opportunity. I doubt the team sends down Romy. Who goes when Grissom is ready?
-
I heard management state that the fans should come to Fenway for the whole experience, not just to see the team win.
-
I agree. Pitching, pitching and more pitching is needed. Yesterday, we went ahead 4-3 and had no ammo left due to taxing the pen the prior two games. Yeah, game then got out of hand. Greg Weissert is falling off the cliff.

Ok great mystery solved, almost. I live in Indiana. My MLB package is useless for Cubs, Reds and White Sox games. I am used to it. But couple of weeks ago Sox games on the West cost were blacked out to my dismay. When I called the MLB.TV customer service, it had something to do with my internet provider. So I was at Verizon this am on another matter and I happened to ask about my blackout problem. The guy knew immediately. He said that my service does not use static IP address. It's changing constantly. So some games are randomly blacked out. But apparenly MLB.TV uses my address to blackout the aforementioned 3 teams. I also finally have ESPN. Sometime I go to a bar and spend $40 to watch Sunday night ESPN games so I consider the added cost a push. Ok I feel better. Not too many people understand my problems.

I am pretty sure I have seen Romy play right field. It was due to Cora using every player on the roster. My point was it is nice to have someone fill in for 7 positions.
-
Romy is turning into our deluxe utility guy. I am assuming he can play anywhere but catching
-
Valdez gets sent down when Grissom returns. He is too careless with his defense.
-
Yanks will be forced to sign Soto. Big $$$.
-
I turned off the TV after Devers grounded to pitcher. Boy did I have fun waking up about an hour go. One thing I do after we beat the Yankees is to go read the New York post. They can be brutal at times. Now I can go back to sleep. Life is good.
-
It's a good thing YNkees picked up Soto. Their offense would have been horrendous without him. How can they NOT sign him when he becomes a FA?
-
In mlb, can a dtarting pitcher play another position then return to the mound later?
-
Not sure calling Breslow an idiot at this stage gives you much credibility.
-
Why do clubs always wait till the last minute to bolster the team? Why don't we just go get a starting pitcher? Looks like White Sox has two starters available.
-
Tanner again will be asked to save the pen. Pivetta throws a 1hit 7 IP and comes away with no decision. A win is better than a loss especially to lowly Marlins.
-
Not sure why Cora would play Valdez over Hamilto at 2B when Rafaela is starting at short. Hamilton's speed just plays better.
-
One problem was keeping Xander and Eovaldi while the team was over the cap. Our comp picks were set back because of it. I'd say hire Bellhorn and have him keep track of tax payroll. We seem to suck at it
-
No to that....2025 is Vlad's final arbitration year. We have Casa for another 4 years. Not sure why we would give up any prospects in that deal. I wouldn't do it straight up. 4 years versus 1, no thanks.
-
Going big is good. Position players are less riskier than pitchers. It would be something to add Vlad to returning Casas. Vlad can DH and relieve lefty 1B bat. To think Devers (10 yrs), Story (4+1), Yoshida (4), Rafaela (8), Casas (5), Duran (5), Wong (5), Abreu (6), Grissom (6), Valdez (6), Hamilton (6) and Gonzalez (5), all under team control for few years. I don't want to trade Teel, Mayer or Anthony but with so many team controlled players on the book, I would think it's okay to trade everyone else to acquire established talent now........No? Our pen has team controlled guys in Weissert (6), Bernardino (6), Slaten (6), Kelly (5) and now Horn (6). Throw in starters Josh W (5), Bello (6+1), Tanner (4) and Kutter (5). We need a top of the line guy both as a starter and another as a closer. We don't have to decimate the farm. With so many controllable players in the majors, we have time to fill in prospects 11-30 or if you like 4-30.
-
I would prefer we do the 'buying' during winter.
-
Maybe not but I remember Devers name coming up around same time.......I think Moncada was rushed for DD to see.... Many skeptics here...I will do some research on this site...
-
One thing I liked about DD was that he essentially said that enough time spent in AA was good enough to make a jump straight to the majors.
-
Getting Chris Sale for Moncada and Espinoza was a great trade. Contract extension is a separate issue. If I recall, DD got a quick look at Moncada playing third and knew immediately he could be replaced by Devers. Moncada was a second baseman but Pedey was there. Moon and I were more concerned about the 'ceiling' of Espinoza, but he essentially got hurt and his development slowed.
-
Cora is on the record stating he hopes the trade deadline is NOT the repeat of last 2 years. "We tried but couldn't find anything to our liking" excuse won't cut it anymore.
-
Well put, good summation. I agree.
-
If Hamilton starts as a DH instead of Yoshida, how will that limit Cora if a lefty comes in relief? I guess I am saying Hamilton with hot bat should be playing over Yoshida.
