Harry Chappas Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think we are seeing the Sox are just too young. Veteran free agents outside of Dallas are not producing and young guys are slumping. You can send this one to Cooperstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 When you have an exclusive homer based offense, starters with control problems and terrible in-game field management, those issues tend to manifest at crunch time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That formula doesn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) This board is entertaining. Guys, relax! They are one year ahead of schedule and made the playoffs already. If they blow the division, they blow the division but it’s early. There are still games left to be played to start jumping off the cliff this early. ?

I don’t think people realize how high they are on Vaughn. I hope you are right. They’ll still likely play games with service time as they did keeping Madrigal in Schaumburg, despite the fact the new CBA may render all of these games meaningless. Not every single rookie is worth doing this with, the two who signed extensions were, because their ceilings are much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your DH can't be an automatic out and that is what EE is. I don't care that he will hit a HR here and there your DH has to hit consistently. I'd take Engel or Sanchez as DH over EE at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read some game threads that the score is 0-0 and you feel like we're down 10. It's at least a fun read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service time plays a role but vaughn also never played above high A. Nobody can blame the sox if they keep him down next super 2 deadline. Of course EE is not coming back, he is not as bad as he was this year but definitely not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
