He not being able to play did give Lee a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Dude was still a better pickup than Maldonado. That is how bad he is and how badly Getz should be fired for thinking those 2 were serviceable options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 More wasted money. How JR keeps allowing his GM's to keep doing this for a decade now is beyond me given how "fiscally responsible" he is when it comes to pitchers and superstars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I thought it was going to be a Cinderella story as he emerged during the pennent race to lead the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR doesn't really care about the money. He's trying to win now. That part is obvious. What's a mystery is what he's trying to win. It certainly isn't baseball games.

You know the Sox are paying right around the minimum for Stassi's services this year, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 As soon as he had the setback in the Spring, I was pretty confident Stassi was never gonna play for the Sox. I feel bad for him. Seems like a good guy, but hip problems when you're a catcher is a rough deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Shocking...who didn't see this coming at his age and with how much downtime he's had in the last few years? Just more money thrown down the drain, unless they had taken out insurance on his deal (roughly 60% payout)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrockway Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I’m glad he gets to be paid handsomely to be with his family and not block Korey Lee’s development. Don’t have any thoughts about this, I thought ATL retained his salary or sent cash. Seemed like a “no risk, low reward” move from the start. The issue is and always was Maldonado, any one of Chuckie, Perez, Hackenberg is probably better than him right now whereas healthy Stassi is likely better than all of the above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when they picked up Matthew Lecroy at the end of his career, and he was basically shot at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox only paid him league minimum with ATL covering the remander. I get what you mean, but it could have been a lot worse. This guy will never play in another MLB game again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, a full year injury to Max Stassi isn't really worth getting worked up about. It's not like an Eloy situation where you should have known better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the total fWAR return on the 5 Braves' players for Bummer and then Stassi, it's going to definitely end up as a negative net fWAR for XYZ amount of money, whatever the total for Lopez, Soroka, Shuster, and Shewmake is. All up to Gowens (whatever his name is) in the minors to make something out of this deal, positively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
