2Deep Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Just Bad. Load the bases and only get one. Abreu, love the guy, but he is just chasing pitchers pitch after pitchers pitch with guys on base. Nobody will throw him anything good because they know they don't have too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Make it a pen game. Seriously that at least gives them a shot. Let Foster start. Do not fucking let Lopez anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 5 hours ago, T R U said: Yes he has, and so has Dunning who is under control and dirt cheap. That’s my issue with it, if Lynn walks it’s a bad deal. That’s everyone’s obvious issue and thought with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% convinced that would be the case here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Would rather given Stiever and Either Lambert or Mcclure. Stiever might end up being good too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox would too. Which means Lynn probably is on the Sox if that’s their best offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but he had 2 options left after this season and plenty of space between him and the cutline. He’s got at least another year IMO.

runtheballdown Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Birdies would be a top reliever on a lot of teams. He has good stuff but needs to get a little better control and he’ll be on the team. He didn’t hurt himself today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I can't imagine being a GM and owner nowadays. Pitchers' arms are so brittle, no fault of their own. How can any team justify giving good money to any pitcher when it's almost certain the pitcher is going to get hurt a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed teams have some kind of insurance to account for major injuries and such. Like if you pay a player $20 Million per year, and he is out for the year, maybe a certain % is covered by insurance. Does anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the alternative is developing pitching which can work but has a lot of attrition I.e. You must have a lot of pitching prospects to make it work which means you have less (top) hitters. That is why some teams like the epstein cubs have done the develop hitting and buy pitching approach. Disadvantage of course is it is expensive and you don't have much depth in case of injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I understand Dunning took on mythical status the moment he left the team, and the trade could very well come back to burn us. But let's be real: this board would have gone absolutely bananas if Dunning was penciled in as a third starter on a team with World Series aspirations. As it is one of the primary knocks on this team is that it didn't get a *fourth* veteran starter during the offseason to bring stability to the rotation. Imagine if we only went into the season with two! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, we traded 6 years of Dunning for 1 year of an underpaid SP. And then we didn't even use those savings to upgrade the team in the meaningful way. I think its fair to cast criticism at the move. I hated it. Still don't love it. Happy to have Lynn as he is what the Sox need in a #2, but it sucks to have given up 6+ years of Dunning for just 1 season of him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just funny to see Dunning regarded as this darling when he would have been dragged mercilessly for the last several months if he had not changed hat colors.
