GreenSox Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 If it keeps the team off of Perez, this is a big win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been, but missing a year, who knows? Sox catchers and SS have a real good chance of hitting below the Mendoza line with not many walks. I do think the improved defense will get them a couple more wins, but they are going to be very boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 They have picked a lane. They are developing pitching and supporting those pitchers with defense. I believe they are going to lose like 110 games, but at least they have picked a lane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 The pitching staff is ecstatic. This is a massive defensive upgrade over the turd they ran out there for the last 4 years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when a prospect is truly ready, bring him in. It’s actually not a bad plan with what has happened. It’s too bad Grifol made it through to this point, but we can’t have everything we want with JR running things. Hopefully it’s a .500 or close team in 2025, and a true decent team in 2026, that can contend. We can hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 He's a backup catcher. I think this spells the end of (K)orey Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 With this division and if these pitchers stay healthy...now you add in premium defense and framing....this team is gonna actually compete for the division, aren't they...? The Twins are taking a step back and Tigers and Royals suck. Anyone complaining about this move for like a million dollars are nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Anyone also complaining about him skipping last year...his wife delivered their baby 3 months early and the baby fought for his life. If anything this means he is a good guy. The team needs more of those. Edited December 10, 2023 by EloyJenkins 5 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don’t disagree it’s wishful thinking to be good in 2-3 years. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if JR has seen his last over .500 team as chairman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I now see the logic of just promoting Getz. What a waste 2024 would be without Stassi, DsJong and Nicky Lopez. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
