    Yup, good pick.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Rangers offense is respectable. Their starting pitching has been decimated by injuries. And there's more than a few worse teams than the SOX in MLB this season.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hindsight is golden, MOON, or is it green?
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX have clobbered Keuchel more than pretty much any other pitcher this season. He really is done as a pitcher.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    At this point I would classify Devers as a 3.5 tool player. Could easily become a full 4 tool player.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers' delivery service appears to be back in business.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    JBJ had the gift of getting excellent jumps on fly balls. I wouldn't describe him having exceptional speed.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The ultimate 5 tool players were Mays and Mantle(before he damaged his leg.) Also Barry Bonds before he 'bulked up.'
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The 5th tool "speed' is unclear. I'm not sure it just weighs that heavily on stolen bases.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Seeing that he's 28, do you think he might take 400mil for 10 years?
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He doesn't play defense. I'm referring to the traditional 5 tool requirements. 1)hits 2)hits with power 3)excellent defense 4)strong arm and 5)speed.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The only proven MLB 5 tool players I'm aware of that are playing today are Trout and Betts. Can anyone think of any others?
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It depends how one defines 'didn't work out.' How do you feel about JD's 5 year contract? I feel it worked out. Some might look at 2020 and this year and feel it didn't work out.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers' defense has improved immensely. And he is 'valuable' at hitting. Very valuable.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Some here believe that the SOX should have done the same with Devers. It's definitely a big risk for ownership.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    F'ing chUMPS. Always looking for confrontation.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In Keuchel's 7 years in Houston he had one great year(20-8) and two very good years.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, has anyone mentioned what a good pick-up Pham has been so far?
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Bogey hit a teed up cutter 400 feet. JD with a similar teed up pitch hit a foul grounder.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yup, that doesn't sound promising.

  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. Mazzy, Youk, and Millar just don't cut it for me.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I wonder if Pedey would be interested?
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, this being ECK's last season in the booth, who would the posters here like to see replace him? ECK, like Remy, will be a hard act to follow.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    What happened to 'one game at a time?' A ten game winning streak; that's asking a lot, but as the ultimate optimist, I'll give it my best shot. We all love the SOX and it would be a much less painful season if the SOX could at least finish over .500. Go SOX!
