Velasquez reinstated, Foster optioned to AAA

Vince throws nasty stuff, has some measure of control of it and I think that he has the potential to be coached up.  It's in Katz's hands.  In other words, I think most of us are more down on the guy than we need to be.  Better than Foster and has the tools to improve.

Realistically, we needed Foster more but both Matt and Jose Ruiz have turned back into pumpkins.

Eh, to me Foster is just a guy.  Every team has a lot of up and down righty reliever candidates. Lambert is a bullpen guy now.  That is probably where Bilous ends up. Luke Schilling, Lane Ramsey, Caleb Freeman… even the Sox depleted system has some guys who might make it.  It’s finding starters that’s hard. Thank God for Davis Martin.  Now we need to get one or two others either through development or trade.

Cueto is a good low cost one year pick up, but will likely return to form if he is able to pitch in 2023. OK to sign as a 6th-7th starter at a similar deal to this year, but to rely as an every fifth day starter on a contending team is ludicrous.

I think both guys are flotsam and jetsam myself. Vince has had five or six years of mediocrity, he is what he is. He's not going to "suddenly" find it in my opinion. Another waste of money and roster space by the Sox G.M.

Vince looked like he belonged last night.  Just saying.  Stuff was hopping.  Mediocrity ain't bad sometimes, in comparison to just plain awful.

That's some low bar to aspire to for a baseball franchise, no? ?

Did someone say that they were aspiring to mediocrity rather than putting up with it until a better alternative existed?  

Given the organization's record since the start of the 2007 season you can assume that's exactly what they are doing aspiring to mediocrity. ?
