    Yup, Moon. I did correct my post after checking Duvall's salary, which would make him easier to trade.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The 2018 SOX had the best record in MLB and won the WS. It doesn't get any better than that.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm not worried about them, but they are a well-balanced baseball team. I'd love to worry about them, because that would mean the SOX would be playing them in the WS. I know, dream on. What the hell; stranger things have happened in sports.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A team could go 162-0 and if they don't win the championship, it means nothing. Just need to ask the 2022-23 Boston Bruins.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In fact, the Braves may even have a better team than the 2018 SOX. If they don't win the WS, it's all for naught.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just checked Duvall's salary which is 7 Mil. For some reason I believed it was higher, so, yes, they do have a choice.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Do the SOX really have a choice?
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Tampa continues to lose, which I love. The Braves are scary; reminds me of the 2018 SOX.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It may be his wrist, but I believe he's just not reading the pitches correctly, which is the hardest thing to adjust to after a long layoff. I guess we'll just have to stay tuned.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He's been a proven power hitter. Let's see how he performs after the ASB. I imagine he'll be living in the batting cage during the break. I haven't given up on him yet. But you're correct; he hasn't been very good.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Duran was on one of the bad teams in MLB, he would probably play everyday and become more proficient against LH's. Much more complicated when playing on a PO contender. I don't know; maybe Bloom has him play winter ball and has him face as many LH's as possible. I'm sure most of us want Duran to become the everyday CF.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    On a more serious matter tomorrow's SOX opener will be a call up Taylor Scott. The less you know regarding his stats, the better. The A's will have their best starter JP Sears, who has a very impressive WHIP of 1.05.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Good point. Max could be related to Cora. That would make more sense than my theory.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    OK, Max. Time to fess up. Are you in reality actually Cora posting on these game threads? There's nothing wrong with that, but, at least, admit it.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Another great thing about the SOX playing the A's over this weekend is the games won't be televised on FOX or ESPN.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I guess a lot of the trade decision making will depend obviously on where the SOX sit at the TDL. If they're still in the PO picture at that time, I would hope they wouldn't trade Paxton. It wouldn't make any sense, but often, when has good sense ever been a factor?
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Call him what you will, but I see him as good guy to have catching if the batter decides to charge the mound.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That's true for any pitcher, except maybe Nolan Ryan. It's always a gamble.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Why would the SOX trade Paxton? For a better pitcher? Who's better than Paxton right now? He was picked as AL pitcher of the month for June.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That Chang didn't start at SS today probably makes everything positive I've posted about Chang meaningless, because it's still Cora's decision. I don't agree with it, but then, I don't agree with a lot of things.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Chang has one of those scheduled day's off, I guess Arroyo would be the better option. But I'm thinking if a secret poll was taken among the SOX pitchers, they'd all favor Chang playing as much as possible.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I thought we were all waiting for a proven SS Chang to return and now that he has we're talking about Arroyo at SS? Quit making me scratch my head, because I barely have any hair left as it is. Chang should be the starting SS, imho, until Story returns.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Walter 'the big train' Walter.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Beating a team one should beat is still a good win, because, as we all know, the SOX have lost to teams this season they should have beat.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I always respect your opinions; your knowledge of other teams far exceeds mine.
