Listen, we are clearly operating on a shoestring budget here on soxtalk dot com. Do you have any idea how much beer we‘d have to sell to recoup the cost of a liquor license?.

maxjusttyped Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Rodriguez has seen a massive decline in spin rate (fastball down ~300 RPMs slider around 500) and a significant increase in walks post sticky stuff ban. ERA is over 5 in that span with the FIP to back it up. I'd be hesitant to give up anything of significance for him.

Turns out if you had elite spin rates, it's not impossible. But without it? No shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, can you imagine if Grandal, who will be the last injured player to return, has problems with his knee and the Sox are stuck with Collins who might be the worst defensive catcher in baseball getting significant playoff time ? Yan Gomes with his 115 OPS+ is till the best backup catcher available since he's a FA next year. I don't even care that he is right handed , catcher is still the spot on the team that needs the most help given what could happen if Grandal can't cut it.

I definitely think he's worth looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a catcher, just in case, makes a lot of sense. Right now, they take Zavala's spot. In a couple of weeks when Yas is back, you could send Collins to Charlotte for 2 weeks and call him up in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
