Once again, last 2-3 years.
I mean, we'd also love to have 2014-15 Jose Abreu back, right?
Or Adam Eaton?
I mean, if we go back another 5 years, we'd have HoFer Albert Pujols and not the broken down versions of him or Miguel Cabrera.
I did since 2019, now try again

Yeah, assessing much further back than a 2-3 year time frame of statistics (just because 2020 was truncated) makes almost no sense, especially for a catcher closing in on his mid 30's and leaving the early 30's in the rearview mirror.
The only ones who seemingly beat that prior trendline were Sal Perez and Buster Posey.
Ok. Since 2019, Grandal ranks:
WAR: 2nd
Defensive Rating: 7th
GP: 4th
You and Rob might want to find a different player to me statistically wrong criticisms about

Did I ever say we should trade him? Cool with the stats from 2015. Let’s talk about the last two years when he’s been on OUR team. has he been injured both years? When you watch him play does he look like a gold glove catcher to you? I’m ignoring the throwing runners out, cause that’s just as much as the pitching staff fault.
lol. He had a knee injury this year. Nobody disputes that.
-
The injury prone bash really made me laugh though, so thanks for that. I mean, imagine calling the catcher who is 3rd in MLB in games played since 2015 "injury prone", lol.

Sure that’s your OPINION, just like mine was mine. I watch the games the same as you. I’m just sharing why other fans think he’s not as “good” as you say he is in your original post 🤙🏼
Your OPINION runs contrary to basic stats. Since 2015, Grandal ranks among MLB C
WAR: 1st
Defensive Rating (Fangraphs): 1st
Games Played: 3rd
Yeah that definitely sounds like the injury prone, horrible defensive catcher we should trade away, lol

Cause he’s injured a lot, can’t block pitches in the dirt, calls a mediocre game (partially due to his inability to block in the dirt), and his framing is overrated. I don’t think anyone hates on his ability on the offensive side of things.
I'm still in awe. Let me guess, you think Moncada sucks too, right?

If posters like you were GM we'd be 0-162 every season.
I mean wow, what a terrible take

Abreu (and TA) will retire here, these threads are dumb
Guys I would look at possibly moving would be Grandal (I didn't know he was this bad defensively) and possibly Eloy or Vaughn, use them to upgrade at spots like RF and SP
I'm not saying trade all 3 guys, but I would definitely look at moving one of them if the return was decent
lol at complaining about these threads then suggesting trading Grandal.
Grandal has played 139 games since 2020 and put up 5.3 fWAR. That's elite production, and obviously he was playing hurt for most of the year.
How do so many of our fans not understand how good Grandal is?
-
Possible they'd agree on a 2 year deal, might be a good option for both Marshall and the Sox

The always hilarious 1st offseason meltdown thread from the worst fanbase in all of sports.
This thread is already embarassing. The #1 offseason priority needs to be for 75% of Soxtalk to become Cubs fans.

I would love Semien. I think it's too early to tell with him. They also did just draft a Shortstop who can likely be groomed as a second baseman as well.
Everyone would love Semien. He leads MLB in WAR since 2019. He'll get something like 6 yrs $180 million most likely

If we keep losing, Cleveland may make things interesting for us. That’s why I think resting players right now is a bad idea.
lol ok. Nobody worries like our fanbase

People on here get actually upset when Leury has success. I don't get some of our fanbase.

Baseball needs 30 man rosters very clearly but too ******** cheep. It will only get worse as pitch counts go down.
No it doesn't. 26 expanding to 28 is pretty ideal.
Not everything requires a dumb "the cheap owners won't allow it" comment. Especially when the difference for most teams would only be a few million dollars
-
Also, let's be real, it isn't just a "Kimbrel problem".
The whole bullpen outside of Tepera and ReyLo is shaky and underperforming

But Kimbrel is supposed to be good enough to not have to worry about getting squeezed or facing a slugger. His fastball command has been garbage, the velocity is down and hitters are crushing it.
His velo is not down. He's struggling with command but why lie about something as easy to verify as velo?
-
I feel like he must be tipping vs the Cubs.
7 runs in 2.2 IP vs them
3 runs in 7.2 vs everyone else

IsBummer better than Kimbrel? Why then we traded for Kimbrel and gave up Madrigal and Heuer? We could use a contact hitter like Madrigal, which we lack now. We need to give the ball to Kimbrel and not throw him under the bus like TLR did in the 8 th like a Yermin.
How would Madrigal help right now? He's injured.
Agree on Kimbrel though. We have a 11.5 game division lead. Got to see if Kimbrel can be the set up guy now, rather than have roles up in the air in October

man Keuchels ERA has exploded over the last month or so
Why do people post false statements like this. This is just like the fans who bash Moncada for not being able to hit with RISP when he has better numbers in those situations.
On July 3 Keuchel had an ERA of 4.48.
Today his ERA has exploded all the way to......uh 4.48.

Hope he’s not injured, skip a start if need be.
Did you watch the game or just look at the box score? He got ejected, not hurt.

Wow they've got the Padres at under 50%? They must have a tough remaining schedule.
Padres started Jake Arrieta today in Coors. That's where their rotation is at right now lol

They DFA'd him for Wright, correct?
Seems like they could have held onto him.
Why though? He had a 7.20 ERA in AAA and almost certainly would have been dropped from the 40 in the off-season. Wright probably gets dropped from the 40 in the off-season too but he's likely the better option to help fill innings right now
He's a good pickup for someone like the O's but without being able to throw 99-101 like he used to be able it's hard to see him sticking in a MLB bullpen.

I think you’re right, as I didn’t see the umps confiscate anything
Yeah when that Mariners pitcher got caught vs us they made a big deal of putting his glove in a sealed plastic bag. No indication that happened here.
Not the worst thing to get Lynn out of the game anyways, that wasn't an easy 4 innings for him
-
That isn't a suspension, relax people. It's obvious he got ejected because of how he acted
Abreu next year and in the future

There's zero truth to anything you said. Framing is incredibly important. Sure guys can get better at it but there's a massive gap between Realmuto's framing and someone like Collins. And it's not zero sum game between framing and game-calling.
Really though, its amusing to see how even one of the best players at his position, Grandal, isn't good enough for half our fanbase, and gets shredded by the "eye test" crowd. It's also depressing though because the default position seems to be:
Any Sox player = terrible
Any non-Sox player = amazing
