Anyone who advocates releasing either one has zero clue about baseball or how business is done, or about showing any damn class/respect as an organization.

 

you ought to ask Carlton Fisk about that

20+ LOSSES. Tigers, Jays, RedSox have all done it. They have no place on the team. Bad contract for bad aged talent. They can't keep DLing these guys to get them in the minors. Add Colon to that list to.

 

Even if Sox won half those games, they would be over .500 now and in a pennant chase.

Remember Carlton Fisk's last days with the Sox?

I don't think it could get much worse than that.

Not saying KW would do something like that... but our beloved Sox do have a history.

So what do you actually gain by releasing either? Other than, you know, showing you have no class as an organization.

you realize we still have to pay the contracts right? They don't just vanish.

wait i thought you were using hyperbole... the count and liney are not responsible for 20+ losses. that's just laughably ignorant.

There's one month left with Jose! f***, pitch him out of the pen, but you don't cut the ace of your 05 WS team and a guy who went balls out just to be back this season.

 

As far as Linebrink, why would you simply declare him as a sunk cost? He's not been good, but he hasn't been horrible?

Yeah, I hate it when an organization keeps a player around who can't hit or catch just so he can break a meaningless record which turns out only lasted a few years.
