I would’ve rather had Fulmer for that role. At least he might still have upside. Detwiler is a bum and nothing more.

Why did Ross Detwiler make this team?

I hope Madrigal starts at 2B and Leury/Engel platoon in RF

Herrera is toast. The Sox should just DFA him and be done with it.

This whole game has been encouraging with the exception of Rodon.

Vaughn has to get better at making throws to 2nd base.

Does Mendick remind anyone else of Saladino a little bit?

I like this quote from Mazara a lot

It got lost in the shuffle because of the Kopech news but Moncada and Ruiz have to be the two Sox players with COVID, right? Especially since they’re both on the IL now?

Lots of people on Twitter are saying his wife might be pregnant. So that would explain why he doesn’t want to risk it right now.

I really can’t tell if his absence and subsequently opting out is due to the virus or for other reasons. Hopefully he’ll be back in 2021 either way.

To be honest this isn’t the worst thing in the world. The Sox will get another year of service time out of him and I don’t know how much of a factor he would’ve been this season anyway.

For those who said Yermin can’t play third:

I wonder if Yermin could play third base.

I could be wrong but I don’t think Kopech will get service time this year if he’s away from the team.

Andrew Vaughn is getting reps at 3rd base so that’s probably not good news regarding Moncada potentially having COVID.

I don’t know whether or not to believe what he says, but still...

Moncada has to have it based on context clues. But I think Kopech’s issues are unrelated to the virus.

Yep he’s probably had half a dozen accounts at this point spewing BS. Don’t believe anything he says.

Why are we even giving this guy the time of day? He turns literally anything into the worst case scenario without any facts to back it up. He’s the same guy who was 100% certain that Tim Anderson tore his ACL when he got injured in Boston last year.

What’s the deal with Kopech? Does anyone know?

Seems to me that Cody Decker is jealous that his career never amounted to anything while Grandal just got a massive payday.

The Sox would be better off carrying a guy like James Beard who can wreck havoc on the bases if nothing else than having a bum like Detwiler on the team.

If guys like Madrigal and Kopech only have to be in the “minors” for 10 days to get the extra year of control, then I’d absolutely keep them down for a bit. The Sox can survive with Leury at 2nd base for a week and a half and Kopech might not be needed right away.

Not to be a downer, but is anyone else concerned that the season might be postponed again once games start if a number of players/coaches end up getting sick?
