I mean......it's a step up from the "3 last place finishes in 4 years"!!!! Maybe not a big step, but a step none the less.
-
yeah that makes sense, they had that good run in the middle of the season right before the all star break. But they seemingly never had that 10 game win streak. Actually, not seemingly, they didn't. 5 it is.
-
Hey the White Sox have beat the Orioles, Twins, Astros, Guardians, Royals and the Yankees at various times this year. Bad teams will beat good teams, it's a 162-game schedule and these are still professional players. Sweeping, even a lowly team is very hard. If this was a month or two ago, I wouldn't be disappointed with taking 2 out of 3 but at this point in the season you pretty much have to just win. I know the Sox had a good stretch, but now I'm questioning what's the most games in a row they won this year? It never felt like they truly got really hot at any point.
-
I wonder if Jansen could be had on a 1-2 year deal. Perhaps the Sox see him matching up better splitting catching duties with Teel than they do Wong. Wong is under team control for a while, so perhaps he's worth taking a longer look at to see if he can regain some of that CS magic, but the framing skills have never been there.
-
Fitts has a 4.17 ERA vs. AAA hitters and comes up and pitches ok vs. an historically horrible team. I'd say "meh" is pretty fair. I think dick will fit right into an MLB team as a 5th starter swingman type. He can throw innings and can build some type of value. But he'll never be a stud, and the Sox have middling to back of the rotation starters, they need studs. I'd be a little bit more excited if Houck/Bello were pitching lights out like a 1-2, the Sox were in the playoffs and Fitts was adding innings filling out the rotation, but here we are.
-
If you compare the Sox staff to even playoff teams they’re not far off. of you take out Criswell and add Sale to the season the starting staff would have the 2nd highest FWar. Sox need to add a TOTR starter this offseason, and a good #2. That makes the pitching post season worthy. if Houcks growth is real and Bello gets even a little better that’s a World Series rotation

I feel most people understand what said player did from 30-34 is more predictive of who they are at 35 than what they did from 25-29.

Meidroth hasn't played in a few days and I believe he might be out of the lineup again tonight. Is he banged up? I doubt we see him, I don't think we see any guys who aren't on the 40 right now
-
I think what keeps Mayer 2nd above Campbell is the fact that he definively has a home at SS and has the potential to have a plus glove there, that plus he has more power potential. Campbell is also older, if Mayer went to college he would have just been drafted and might not of even played a game of minor league ball yet. It's easy to forget how young guys when they're highschool draftees and they spend a few years in the system. FWIW, Campbell was a draft eligible sophmore, and was a good year younger than the typical draftee out of college. Making his rise that more impressive.
-
I get it I do, I just feel Meidroth is getting there because he's a high floor guy without much of a ceiling. I could see him becoming a super utility 2 War type for a few years in his peak, and if that's the 9th best guy in your system you're doing something right. I'm a dreamer, I like a guy with upside. A good bench bat like a good middle reliever can be very valuable to a team, but a starter who adds value is better. I don't see Meidroth holding down a starting job in Boston.
-
Anyone can put up a .800 OPS in AAA, just ask Bobby Dalbec who has done it three years in a row. Not trying to compare the two, point is it MEANS something when he can do it in the majors. He has little power, makes weak contact, and every other tool is fringe average at best. I don't think his skills are going to convert over to the MLB level, at best he's a utility guy.
-
I just can't get too excited about Meidroth, but I'm an upside guy and he seems to have very little.
-
The pop ups are certainly concerning, but hasn't he also only had something like 25 at bats vs. anyone older than him at this point. This is why I'm still high on him, but he can start to slide quick in my book if he doesn't pick it up next year.
-
The re-ranking is done every month, september is not out yet so it should be updated any hour/day now.
-
Very, all those appeared within the last week.
-
Massive????? hit, Castillo is more of a middle of the rotation starter at this point in his career. Seattle has pitching, they lack hitting more than any other team in MLB. Maybe dangle Abreu instead of Yoshida? Heck I'd give them both if they split the difference in the money.
-
well they'd get a bat and save $6 million a year for the next 3 years and then 24 million in 2027
-
Remember Bleis is still 1.5 years younger than Garcia, FWIW Garcia has an up arrow on soxprospects, he's slated to jump ahead of some people.
-
Here I was thinking my 79 wins prediction has been way too pessimistic. Yet here we are.....like every September. It feels like an implosion is immenent. Just another reason why you need veteran leadership on this team. Yes, I like the youth movement and next year looks promising. But having star talent with veteran leadership wins you games in September. #releaseburnes

Me "Sox will sign someone like Burnes this offseason" John Henry "the hell I will"
-
Well done, I had to stop myself. You can kind of figure where their rankings will be based on the "arrows" I'm high on Arias like you, I think I have an affinity towards upside more than most people, which is not only why I like Arias, but while I'm not as low on Bleis. I still think he has 5 tool potential, and I'd be interested to see how he does next season after a full season and offseason of health under his belt.
-
Why not? Yoshida would be the best hitter on their team this year, and exhanging contracts gives them salary relief. Also, D-Ham gives them value on offense and Wink, while not as good as Castillo, is a valuable arm that they can plug into the swing role or use as depth. BTV accepts this trade.
-
How about. Red Sox trade Masataka Yoshida. Josh Winckowski, and David Hamilton for Luis Castillo. Then go sign Burnes. You're welcome.

Our expectations as fans should not decline, just because the front offices failures have declined their results the past half decade. Once you go down that path, you sow the seeds for accepting yourself become the oakland a's
