I’m not impressed by their lineup as it currently stands. Great 3-4, after that? Lot of meh.
-
The way the team looks like right isn't changing anytime soon. If anything, it gets worse before it gets better. If he is hurting development get him out of here, but if he's just a "guy" I'm fine with him being the punching bag for 2-3 years until the arrow starts pointing up again.....which is going to be a while.
-
Go sign Q and La Stella, you're now one of the best teams in the AL, call it a successful offseason.
-
The meltdown from Sox fans that is about to happen over Joe Musgrove is going to be epic ?
-
I think Bowman should have been shown the door a while ago, but I'm actually OK with JC being the Head Coach right now. There isn't a coach in the world that can make this roster a winner, so bringing someone new in seems like a waste. But Bowman shouldn't be rebuilding this thing.
-
That's not unreasonable, but as Jimmy mentioned with his assumed innings limit, I'd like them to come up with a plan for IP's down in AAA, and if all goes right, they have an idea of when he can arrive back with the ML club. Honestly, there isn't a "right" answer in this situation as it's fairly unique and a bunch of variables at play. Kopech pitching well and looking strong will take care of a lot of the concerns.
-
Let's take service time out of the equation for a moment. Given the last pitch Kopech threw in competitive play was September 5, 2018 and has a total of 14.1 IP, along with the Sox trying to compete for a World Series this season....I still think he starts in AAA taking out any service time "manipulation" It's just the right move given where he is in his comeback attempt.

We need to teach these young pups the history of Soxtalk...

That's an absolute meat grinder and the best lineup in the American League
-
There just isn't a lot of downside with the move. The only issue I could possibly see if Cruz is Edwin levels of bad.......TLR continues to play the veteran over someone like Vaughn who is "ready" but even that is sort of stretch. Cruz isn't getting more than a one year deal so there is very little risk involved. I personally don't think they sign Nelson Cruz, and I'd much rather them sign another SP, but I'd be all for it if it happened.

Garrett Richards to Boston, 1 year $10 million.

Hope so. I still would also love someone like La Stella but that move is more of a luxury and me not being sold on Vaughn in 2021. Roster isn’t going to be perfect, but adding a solid #4-#5 would go a long way, in my perspective.
-
Yeah, just disagree here. You need one more somewhat stable arm, especially after these guys just had a 60 game season and are now being asked to go back to a 162 grind. They need to have some reinforcements ready to go....because they'll need them at some point. And the beauty is they don't have to trade any assets to do it. Just need to spend a little more money. We'll see what they do, really hope they aren't done.
-
They need more arms. In my opinion it's more abut quantity at this point. Lopez can't be given a SP spot out of Spring Training unless injuries happen. Just can't happen at this point. You add a mid-level starter, it goes a long way in helping the depth of the staff, Lopez can be a long man or go back to AAA if they so choose, let Kopech work himself back up in AAA to start the year, and pray for good health.

It wouldn't, it's just massive hyperbole. Jose Quintana put up a higher WAR than Trevor Bauer in 2019. Trevor Bauer will also probably cost around 20 million dollars more than Jose Quintana. But all the FA starters suck, Bauer is the only answer, if the Sox don't sign him they are massive idiots and don't want to spend money, ever! (Did I miss any of the other narratives being beat to death?)
-
I'd take that bet. I'll take the field of Odorizzi, Tanaka, Paxton, Quintana, Brett Anderson, Julio Teheran, Walker, and the rest of the bunch and you can take Musgrove. I like those odds.
-
I don’t disagree that could be the price. I would strongly advise the Sox not meeting that price. Maybe it’s not Q, maybe it’s not Tanaka. But I would put heavy money on the fact there are multiple FA pitchers currently available that will out-perform Musgrove over the next two seasons. It’s up to the Sox to figure out who those FA’s and may be and bring them in.
-
I would hope the Sox. That's one where I just don't understanding giving up an asset like Kelly for production that is 100% available on the open market and that doesn't have an outrageous cost. I'm fine with trading a Kopech, Vaughn, Kelly etc. for a foundational piece or someone to put this team over the top, make them the AL favorites. I don't think Musgrove comes close to that, and additionally I think someone like Tanaka or Quintana can come fairly close to matching the production Musgrove would provide. Just spend the money.

Sox sign Hendriks: 3/$39M - 4th year optional with $15M buyout

Oh fuck off Fathom...shit, you’re right. -
And good on Marvel for taking a shot at something totally different. I assume Falcon and Winter Solider is going to be pretty straight forward, which is fine, but at nice to see them taking chances with different shows.

Feel like the villains are going to be AIM?

Not sure what the hell WandaVision was, but I didn’t hate it
-
Like...REAL bad. When I turned it on, I immediately said “What the hell is a Pius Suter?” It’s a terrible, terrible roster.
-
lol, that wasn't clear from 2k5. Yoan feels like Abreu was very deserving.
