MiddleCoastBias Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Rutherford is the obvious and clear choice to get the boot. Figure they at least try to trade Adolfo and Mercedes in the off-season, get a lottery ticket out of them. Wright has value to this team as a body in September as they deal with injuries (Gio, Lynn) and give guys rest to figure it out (Keuchel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Let's also point out that this is yet another late round pick (18th round, 2018) that just made the majors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I like this because it gives you a chance to look at another body for a month here on possible 2022 replacements for Leury (Free Agent), Mendick (sucks), and even Cesar Hernandez who's been a bit of a disappointment with the bat.

They definitely should get an advanced look at him here...and it's worth saving Tim and Yoan some mileage. Cesar is an interesting case...because that option is only 6 mil, they could always pick it up and trade it to a team looking for a stopgap solution. But I assume Romy would have to be LIGHTS out for any consideration of moving or not picking up Cesar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) This is one of those amazing 2020 got wiped out and we have no idea what minors talent really progressed stories. I bet every team across the league has one of these out of nowhere types that is lighting it up. Edited September 1, 2021 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cesar continues 2020 as he has in 2020, you will not be able to trade him. 6 million isn't some great steal for an aging .704 OPS hitter Edited September 1, 2021 by Squirmin' for Yermin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Out of the 2018 draft the Sox have had major league debuts from their 1st, 5th, 6th, and (and soon to be) 18th round picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. We do still have Marshall lurking on the 60, but not Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He does strike out quite a bit, so it will be interesting to see if he can keep that in line and not have it grow (30% krate), but he'll have a pal in seby there. Man this is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Happy for Romy. He had to be added to the 40 man anyway. Personally, I’d ditch Wright, DL Giolito and bring up Lambert, but that’s just me. Romy’s like the last guy we have from the 2018 draft class, so I hope he earns a spot for next year.

Dominikk85 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Does strike out but also has hit for power and taken some walks in the minors. I rather have him than leury out there even if it is 30%k and 7% walks because at least there is power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Wow, he deserves it. I'm surprised as hell it's not Zack Collins or another pitcher given Lucas' injury last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
