There isn't enough information to make a good guess either way. Could be anything. Just pointing out that there is no reason to assume surgery. That fact it's the same knee that didn't need surgery for the issue is a good sign. Expand I appreciate your view I truly do. Sox do things strangely sometimes. We will see tomorrow .

First it’s basically Oakland , cinci and Pitt who are sellers right this moment . Mainly Oakland, next the Sox are in a pickle in a couple of years with Moncada so they really want those draft picks to work out because they won’t want to pay Moncada 30 million. So it’s up to them how they measure this. Eitherway this first half of the year is challenging if Lynn is out which he will be for sometime.

quickman Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Biggest issue is the Sox have no starting pitching in the minors. It’s unfortunate maybe they can bring in lambert for one game but the rest just plain suck or are not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great day. Expand Too many vets on the wrong side of 30 combined with letting Rodon walk without compensation…it will be easy to diagnose five years from now. For the present, the offense/Robert can carry them through the AL Central for at least one year and likely two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand LaRussa was right about the Sox having guys who could play RF , at least at what they call serviceable standards. Like Tony or not, he was probably right. Meanwhile, Hahn, with a boatload of outfield types on board, cashes in his 16 MIl. Kimbrel chip to get another one. Realistically, there is no "window" to win "multiple championships" when you don't have a deep and solid starting staff. There are some talented pitchers like Kopech and even ReyLo, but they are not guys who can be counted on to start all year. Keuchel has looked lost after umpires startled checking for foreign substances. Another problem with a weak rotation is the potential burn-out of bullpen arms who have to cover more innings than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
