GreenSox Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Until I see otherwise, I am expecting a mid-range arm, with Bummer as closer and Crochet rushed into the pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 This is believable to me as Closer is one position the Sox truly value, and have actually spent money and resources on since trading Addison Reed. Referring to the big contract to Davidson and trading a ton of value in Narvaez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you meant Robertson, I agree - I hope this is where they go big and spend what they need to to get Hendriks. Would love to have him anchor our pen.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So are they going to use Kopech in the pen in 2021 if they sign another starter? Is that the plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hendriks would be a great get. Lots of outlets reporting on him, which makes me not feel all that confident it's actually a thing.

quickman Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 In larussa’s years the closer is one position he always valued. If he has a say like everyone here thinks, a closer will be a move the Sox make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'd rather the Sox stack the bullpen with a pair of high end arms than add another starter really. Cover the last two spots with Cease, Kopech and Steiver, limit their innings as necessary and hand it over to an eight man bullpen stacked to the gills. I probably have more confidence in Kopech stepping in than most though. If you can get those two plus Quintana all the better. I think Q could do all right out of the bullpen if Cease and Kopech can bump him out of the rotation, but if its one or the other I'd go with two of Hendriks, Colome, and Hand if possible. Not sure if any of those guys would be amenable to signing on with another closer on board though, but money does talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
