The King of hindsight. Players cost money. You need 26 guys on an MLB roster and guys at AAA was Getz supposed to sign 50 guys to minor league contracts this off season ? What would that have accomplished ? Should they also have not wasted money on Fedde ? There's another $15M you could have saved JR.

That's better than him getting hurt after you trade for him after he signs an extension, isn't it ?

?

Looking foolish is usually used for playing the fool.The reason the majority got it wrong is because they went with the conventional wisdom regarding his innings limit and played the odds on his health. Those 2 things combined didn't seem likely to lead to more than 100 innings pitched. It might've been considered foolish to sayanythinge else. The fact is he changed into a unicorn.That was very unpredictable.

Sox might be shut out tonight. Dodgers have a lot of low ERAs in their pen.

He owns the website.A chicken s%*# mod wouldn't dare have an insulting multiple posts exchange with him. He's making the same point as you but oh look no one responded to it like they are with you.

Wasn't there an attempt to call him the Condor at one point ?Conductor seems like a derivation or a mistake from the Condor name.

There's always Touki Toussaint.

That's what I've been saying all along. However the fact remains the since those last 2 $20M years are club options anyone trading for him can do so and basically ignore those last 2 years and just have him for the time remaining before those option years. They can decline those options if he isn't worth that money.

Reinsdorf is still the owner. And I'm not into rooting for him to die. I do roots for wins. I just know we aren't going resign the 31 yr old Fedde and Id rather get value that results in 6 years of cheap labor than nothing for guys who are always injured or underperforming. I'll take more wins later at the expense of signing a bunch of old veterans who are the only guys Reinsdorf let's them sign usually and then they suck. I'm shooting for a Tampa Bay type team.Keep trading guys with 2 years left before they get expensive. Keep the youth coming it, and maybe JR doesn't live to 100 and a new owner is more conducive to hiring practices that allow the team to join the 21st century.

Yes but all those guys and young guys like Lee , Cannon Kopech, Fletcher,Deloach Colas, Thorpe ,Sosa plus Moncada,Vaughn, Eloy and a couple more from the dumpster dives performing better could never mean getting close to that kind of record. I'd rather all the short contracts all stay healthy and play well and still get traded and not have the Sox even think about keeping Moncada and Eloy.

Not really at the major league level. I knew it was a longshot to get much back from a lot of the stuffs they signed . Fedde and Crochet great. Got a decent relief guy for Grossman.Kopech bombed. Pham doing OK. But if they were even on track to match last seasons record it would mean more guys doing better. Moncada,Eloy and Robert all pretty disastrous.Couldnt get much worse results on all 3 of those guys in the 1st half. Benintendi too. Vaughn until recently. DeJong might net something but I'm hard pressed to think anyone else gets much. Brebbia maybe.Banks? Wilson unless they keep him. I keep thinking one of the youngish OFs ( Colas, DeLoach , Fletcher or Julks ) might get moved paired up with someone.

Eventually but I've expressed doubts on both Robert and Crochet being moved this deadline.

Hey you agreed with me when I said I had to root for wins because wins mean better trade returns and the kids are performing well when it seemed like half of Soxtalk was rooting for losses and total embarrassment.

Who's hibiscus ?

Had did have a scoreless 3 inning relief appearance that started his dominant run after he came back up. Then the last 2 starts of 15.2 inning of 1 ER.

Quero 5 for 5 tonight 2 doubles 3 RBI His batting line for June: .482 .532 .786 1.318

He said he went back down to Charlotte to work on some deficiencies but didn't say what they were. Didn't throw many 4 seamers tonight. Sweeper sinker mainly but good use of the change up too.

Gotta root for the kids and anyone on the trade block if you want the team to maximize trade returns.

Great game JC !!!

My bad Cannon gave up 1 run in 7 innings his last outing so 1 earned run in his last 18 innings.

I got his autograph in a gas station in Castaic over 10 years ago.

Isn't that like16 scoreless innings in a row for Cannon ?

It may or may not end up being so but I did mention that 2022 could be viewed as an outlier if you held onto him for 2024 and he didn't perform up to par and then you erode his value even more by keeping him for a half season and by performance. Sox were in no position to take that chance. For all those who think Getz was screwed in that trade think about this. They did precisely what the TB Rays would have done and many of you couldn't handle it, overvaluing Cease then pouting about a pretty good return. They got near maximum value for him in a market than doesn't like 5 innings guys coming off a mediocre year that saw a fade in the 2nd half . Sure he makes all his starts but he's not a true stud. We have seen more than our share of guys turning into pumpkins. Once again we are overvaluing Crochet because of basically 12 starts . Sure extend him. Let's buy high on him because he might be so good we'll never get the chance again .So go Sox . And some of you call Getz panicky for minor moves. It's downright farcical. Crochet would need 2 more miracles to ever get $150M contract and he's already been a miracle unicorn by A. Pitching as well as he has and B. Staying healthy. If I had to choose between him him getting $150M or non tendered I'd choose non tendered. I'm basing this on 2.5 months of great healthy starting pitching vs waiting another 2.5 years of healthy great seasons before he can command $150M .Any hiccup of health or performance along the way knocks that total down significantly. I'll take a good return for the guy rather than expecting him to perform 2 more major miracles given his health history. This is how to get better. You take this great fortune that came out of nowhere and turn it into a big positive. You don't keep him, you don't try to extend him and push your luck. You just trade him and let the other team figure out what to do with him .
