brijames1957 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Something absolutely has to be done with the DH position here during the last week and heading in to the playoffs. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Yeah I was worried about this after that big Minny series. They haven't accomplished anything - making the playoffs in 60 games is nice... but wake the fuck up please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Dunn, Laroche, Keppinger, trade for Frazier, oh but sure, signing low-BA power types will work this time! No. It won’t. Grandal is more of the same. And he was an “improvement“ that wasn’t even needed. We needed a legit RF, but we screwed that one up too. The prospects are working out great. That’s good. But if this team signs hitters or trades for them, the bigger it is, the uglier it is. Agreed. I was posting last offseason that we didnt need grandal and that ozuna shouldve been our primary target (after starting pitching). Felt the same way about EE. Ended up talking myself into both after the fact, but am really disappointed in both. trying to talk myself now into grandal over the next four years, but id rather have mccann and that money still available for pitching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lopez tomorrow. Bieber going against Giolito Wednesday according to some. This is why this series coming out of Cincy scared me. I’m usually not in the pessimistic camp and hope they can turn this around but I’m feeling the doom along with the gloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a chance at the deadline to go after a lefty bat or promote Vaughn. It’s too late now, seems clear they’re going to ride or die with EE.

southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 RR will ride with EE in the middle of the order no matter what. You better hope that Cishek isn't his first option out of the pen in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have a DH playing LF, a DH playing 1B, their best prospect is a DH/1B, and yet their regular DH is hitting .164! What's wrong with this picture?

Yeah, we’ll probably get nothing in the end but we dumped some declining assets we didn’t need for a highly regarded first round draft pick.

Yeah, we’ll probably get nothing in the end but we dumped some declining assets we didn’t need for a highly regarded first round draft pick. Rutherfords prospect profile had fallen off a map at that point and we've seen why since. Basically traded 3 MLB regulars for nothing. Kahlne was one of the best relievers in baseball at the time albeit didn't have the track record. All have had plenty of positive value since although there's been injuries and you can argue it was a salary dump for guys we weren't paying anyways. Still trading 3 MLB regulars for very little usually isn't a good thing. Edited September 21, 2020 by Buehrle>Wood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
