The offense will be fine; I worry more about the pitching as the season progresses. I remember in the 1967 season the Cardinals had, perhaps, one of the worst offenses since post war baseball. They ended up beating the SOX in the WS.
It's usually good pitching and defense that gets a team to the promised land.
Selling points: Dalbec can throw the leather at 1st; Franchy, when he hits HR's, they go far, and Arroyo, well he has a nice beard.
If you agree to this trade in the next 48 hours, as a bonus the SOX will throw in ace reliever Bra Man.
I'm guessing the delay in presenting the SOX line-up is determining if Bogey is healthy enough to play.
Of course, it could be that Cora is still looking for someone to rest.
They'll even be more fortunate because they have Seattle next for 3 games. Not saying that Seattle will be easy, but they do have a losing record. I do believe that Seattle will end the season ahead of the Angels.
Note: My predictions are correct about 20% of the time.
That Bra Man and Sawamura are still in the SOX BP confirms there is nothing better available at this time down on the farm, which probably shouldn't surprise anyone.
Pivetta didn't pitch that bad. He made one mistake to the Angels best batter in the line-up. The Angels' offense under normal conditions is bad, but with both Trout and Ward not playing, their offense is laughable.
