It also helps that they play teams like 6 games in a row now, makes me wonder if the opposing team just had horrible pitching.
-
Before last season Giolito was historically a better second half pitcher. After 8 seasons that tells me maybe something else was going on.
-
Well, if you go before the all star break he looked good
-
He will be sent back down
-
At least JBJ had a decent stretch in his prime where he had a bat. Dalbec had a brief hot streak at the beginning of his MLB career and he’s seemingly gotten worse ever since
-
Dalbecs only value is not hitting into a double play because he will strike out.
-
He’s got some really nice pics John Henry doesn’t want out there
-
Oh thank god the Yankees scored some runs, the fun patrol hasn’t had anything to root for until now.
-
$12 million under the limit is right up against the limit. That's saying we want to spend right up to the limit. Some of those costs aren't fixed, if you have to add to the 40 man whether it's trades or callups because guys get injured that can add millions, also you want room to deal at the deadline. I'd say a fair person would consider $12 million under, up against the cap.
-
The AAV is the number that matters.
-
Check the payroll page. + $8.17 million for Bello That's 19.47 If we want to add in Whitlocks $4.68 and Giolito's 19.25 that's $43.40 million on the rotation I believe. Certainly low for a "big market" team.

6/13 Phils @ SOX 7:10PM ET
Hugh2 replied to SPLENDIDSPLINTER's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Houck maybe didn't look as sharp this game? I didn't get a chance to watch it last night but he still walked nobody and only gave up 1 extra base hit. Did the phillies just bunch a ton of singles together to get 3 runs or was Houck lucky? If this was him on a down day then he's going to be good still. -
Didn’t Bellos extension kick in this year? I think just him and Pivetta eat up more than $16 million; the rest of the rotation is cheap so point taken. Noteworthy, Sox have more money on starters on the IL than they do in their rotation.
-
It’s more like $87 million under the cap. So if the budget is truly $220 the it’s closer to $67 million they have to spend this offseason. Would love to see them use it on pitching
-
Wouldn't one of these guys be part of the trade?
-
Not that that is not an issue but could one of them move to LF and bite the bullet on Yoshida by either paying him to play elsewhere or just an expensive bench bat. You could also rotate all those guys in with the DH too.
-
Imagine if the Sox were buyers in 2022 and we missed the wildcard by one game by being that much better and we had a lot less of Duran/Abreu/Wong/Casas/Bello/Houck/Mayer/Bleis/Anthony/Perales???? Just freaking sell. This team stinks.
-
Isn't Greenville supposed to be the killer of all homeruns???
-
Who says' Mookie cursed us? Stop it! don't talk that into existence.
-
It could be enough if someone like O'Neil got hot again, but again, that is contingent on getting healthy, and everyone STAYING healthy, with no real regression elsewhere. Odds are small.
-
What good is that value if the team doesn't even make the playoffs? he's a free agent at the end of the year.
-
Tim Anderson has been having an off 3 years. This team doesn't have a realistic shot at a world series, and a small chance at a wild card. Unless things drastically change with Casas, Yoshida+ coming back they should sell short term assets.
-
They're not getting a top 25 prospect, but people over pay for pitching at the deadline, if those guys are pitching well the Sox will get back good value for them.
-
coincidentally Scott Cooper was my first favorite player........I was 10 and he played 3B.
-
I'm sure you can find worse players than Scott Cooper, he wasn't great but he was a pretty good player the two seasons he went and he actually contributed in the 1994, didn't he bat in either the tying or go ahead run at one point in that game??? Yeah he ain't no hall of famer that's for sure, but he had a .786 OPS that year and had really good defense. We could use a player like that on this team.
