    Leaving Fenway to play ball in a circus tent that's inside a mausoleum is a real downer. I think that describes the whole state.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, what was JD's excuse?
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yeah, usually there have to be runners on base to drive them in. I'm glad you were aware of that. Actually, I'm surprised you were aware of that.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Also, Story isn't too bad on the defensive side of the ball.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Imho, Story is a 4 tool player. His one tool missing is hitting for high average. He qualifies everywhere else.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    When it comes to Bogey, I believe the length of his contract may be more difficult to negotiate than his annual salary.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The benefit of keeping Bogey and Devers is they've already proven they can play at a high-level in Boston. Replacing Bogey to save a few million dollars is a big risk, which we all know backfires too much here.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    True. And if the SOX do re-sign Bogey, I believe they have enough current offense where there should be no need to go out and sign a replacement DH. So there's extra money to be used on pitching.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I disagree. Story drives in runs. The biggest impediment is Sale's contract. But, again, not having Price's retained salary next season does give the SOX FO 16 mil to play with.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    However, the SOX will not have at least 16 mil in retained salaries nest season. So that would in effect increase the SOX total PR by @17 mil next season.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If the SOX re-sign Bogey at 30/mil/year and extend Devers at 35mil/year, it will increase their current season payroll by @ 33 mil.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Nice shutdown inning by Winck.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hopefully he'll be a big improvement in hitting the ball, also.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well, he can't make a better case of late to be re-signed.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Not a bad MLB 1st at bat.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Story!
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Bogey was any hotter, he wouldn't be allowed near any gas stations.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Based on the history of the SOX farm system in developing starting pitching, just having a promising guy like Bello is a minor miracle.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    When one looks at the Rangers' won/lost record and then notices how good their offense is, they're a perfect example that pitching is a lot more than just 50% of the game.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    One major way to improve a BP is for starters to go more than 5 innings more often. This was a numerous fault of the SOX this season. And, yes, injuries had a lot to do with that.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    ...
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I guess the BIG question is does Whitlock make the SOX better by remaining a reliever or becoming a starter next season?
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A Franchy homer leading to you doing 10 shots would make Franchy an enabler.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I would put Pham in between 'Good' and 'Great.'
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Dalbec was optioned back to WOO. Kutter has been placed on 15 day IL. Winck has been brought up.
