He's been good for a while. His slider is a legit weapon. I don't know if I would go so far to say he's a comparable replacement for Crochett, but I think he has a shot at having a career in a major league bullpen.
Man, I am really worried what's going to happen if Keuchel gets that option to vest. Having his money off the books would give the Sox plenty more to play with for next year. I know there's been many on here saying they will find a way, but can we really keep telling ourselves that with Lynn and now Gio out?
Emilio Vargas looks like garbage tonight. Has given up 4 runs in the 1st so far. I bring him up because he's something this FO apparently considered SP "depth."
So Jake Burger was pulled? He started at 2B, was moved to 3B, and is now out of the game. IDK if he got hurt, but kind of odd if not. He made really nice play at 2B earlier.
Edit: Also, no Romy tonight.
He’s a tough player to evaluate. With rosters expanded to 28, I’d think a rebuilding team would give him a month tryout, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he does go through unclaimed.
