Great pitching breakdown with Brian Bannister
CaliSoxFanViaSWside replied to joejoesox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
If you ever want to educate yourself on pitcher development and how the Sox are handling Crochet, Cannon, Schultz,Kopech and other pitchers , this is a great listen. Crochet made some crucial changes this year working with Katz and Bannister. This was posted earlier as part of a larger video. This it the exact interview from beginning to end without having to find it in the longer video. -
You just acted like you found it hard to believe others can be optimistic. Also just for the record I'm not optimistic. I've said a few times that JR must be up to something to be crying so poor on the Sox. I'm no expert in high end real estate deals but to my untrained eye it appears JR has been robbing Peter ( The Sox) to pay Paul ( West Side Development plan around the UC. I'm also not a masochist. I can watch bad players be bad players and not act like I expected them to be anything but bad.

I knew it . I've been saying JR is up to something and that's why he's skimping on the Sox. Wirtz's better watch their backs.

How much is a guy like Fedde worth in a trade?
CaliSoxFanViaSWside replied to ron883's topic in Trade Winds 2024
No he doesn't. Every team knows he won't be able to keep having starts like that. Throwing deep into the game tonight won't change that. Every pitch throws is a risk. He gets hit with a line drive or needs to cover home on a bang bang play is just asking for a disaster to screw up the trade. Yesterday watching Robert try to score on a pitch that got away made all Sox fans watching cringe when he collided with the pitcher. -

Probably goes 5 innings or 75 pitches max .That's my guess for tonight. I don't care how desperate they are for a win ,Crochet should go 5 or less . -

CaliSoxFanViaSWside replied to ron883's topic in Trade Winds 2024
I do have sympathy for him.How much money he makes is of no consequence. Can't be bitter about everything Sox related. Just throw my hands and say nothing I can do about it. No doubt he wanted the job but hard to judge the competence of anyone without keeping in mind his many restrictions. He been mostly dealing with fringe players so far and GMs who knows JR is just cutting expenses to make the team sellable for his heirs. He's going to have to sift through a lot of bad offers and I expect he'll be getting some pretty weak offers filled with pitchers and 1st base DH types right up until the last day or 2. -

It's not a great time to get position player prospects .Everyone is prospect hugging and overvaluing them . Not only that but other GMs know Getz is operating under an owner crying poor and still wanting payroll slashed more. He's not in a very enviable position. -

Fedde should bring 2 real legit prospects .One for each year and at least one other piece. He's not flashy but right now I'd consider him to be top 25 starting pitcher in baseball. Doesn't he have just as much if not more bWAR as Crochet? I legit think Crochet and Robert are overvalue by our desperate fans for high quality position player prospects but are under valuing Fedde. It's very much about about how you are performing right now and Fedde is near the top of that list. -
Resting him because of expected soreness according to Grifol . Not considered a setback . They wanted to push him and they did and it didn't work. Guessing he won't be back on the Sox till after the TDL.

People have been predicting he'd be fired since last season. They'll make trades with Grifols input then fire him. It's the RH /KW trick. -

If JR is calling the shots yes. Getz can always pretend teams wouldn't bite. But if he's fired you never know if he pissed JR off . You want Crochet then eat Beni's remaining salary and give us a DSL SS . -

Because guys with better stuff cost more. Basically every acquisition was a project including Fedde. If anyone else truly thought Fedde would be any good he wouldn't have signed with the Sox. -

Lopez with 3 walks probably had shot at 4 if he didn't decide to be a hitter in his 3rd AB and swing at crap below his ankles. -
