  1. Excited for Luis, but not exactly sure what purpose he serves. OPS'd .675 in AA last year. I know he plays nice defense and we're a little thin there I guess, but just don't really see when he's going to play. Not that Cuthbert serves a purpose either.
  2. Yeah, I mean its gotta be Cuthbert. He serves no purpose, and 40 man is full, so need to DFA someone. Cuthburt seems like the easy choice.
  3. Timmy was corresponding move for Leury.
  4. Dumb thread. Did Madrigal bang your sister?
  5. Grandal is one of the best 2 catchers in the game. Relax.
  6. Quote obvious he, like most of us, can Easily tell RR is not very good at his job.
  7. Should have signed Derek Dietrich.
  8. Exactly. Not like Sox are running into options issues with Dunning who was just added to the 40 man this offseason, and Stiever isn't even on the 40 man. Saving rotation spots for big times IFs is a good way to punt 2021. Sox can't punt 2021. The one guy I am somewhat OK flagging a spot for in Kopech come mid 2021 season, but at this point, I am certainly not counting on him and you need to have other reasonable options around in case that never comes to fruition. I think, at this point, you pretty much have to sign a upper mid rotation SP this offseason (I really like Robby Ray), unless Lopez comes back and dominates for the rest of the season, which is HIGHLY doubtful at this juncture.
  9. I don't think MLB has actually said they WON'T play 60 games. But MLb has said IF a team does not play 60 games, they'd go by winning %. I think you have to make the Cardinals try to play 60 games. Get them on the schedule. Take all their off days. Bury them with double headers. If they end only getting 55 games in, then that's what happens. But I think you have to try. You can't just let one team play 40 games and still be eligible for the playoffs.
  10. They'll get their chances if they're good enough. Keep one spot open for Kopech. Dunning can fill in until June. When Kopech comes back, chances are someone else is one the shelf by then. Stiever hasn't thrown a pitch over A ball - I agree he's a really nice prospect, but I am not saving any MLB spots for him at the moment. I don't see why the Sox can't sign a Robby Ray or a Quintana and also take a run a legit RF.
  11. Dudes get hurt. Dunning and Stiever will get their shot. And Kopech will be in the minors until at least June next season, and counting on him for much of anything at this point is probably the wrong thing to do. Adding a guy like Robby Ray, Stroman or Quintana, dudes that shouldn't break the bank or destroy the club if they end up sucking, would go a LONG ways in making the rotation deeper, more talented and more insulated. So start the year like this: Giolito, Keuchel, Cease, FA (Ray/Stroman/Quintana), Lopez/Dunning/Rodon (doubt he's around)/other. Then come june you have Giolito, Keuchel, Cease, FA above, and hopefully Kopech, with Lopez, Dunning, Stiever, Lambert all as back up options.
  12. I think we definitely want to play tehse games. They have played in 2 weeks! I watched a couple of the Twins-Cards series before the CV tests, and the Cards looked really bad. I think its best of the Sox to play, sitting idle for 4.5 days midseason is a long time. Why are people saying they can't play Friday? Hasn't there only been 1 positive test in like the last 10 days?
  13. No way Cease is removed from the rotation anytime soon. They're going to give Cease just as much time as they gave Gioltio to figure it out as SP, which means at the VERY least all the way through 2021. I'd even say due to this truncated 2020 season, he has until mid 2022 before they consider other options (assuming health).
  14. Bauer would be awesome. Ray would be a nice consolation prize. Stroman and Quintana would be nice to backend pieces. Nothing after that gets me excited. Of those 4 guys I listed, none are super elite, so I don't think any of these guys are going to be wildly expensive. That being said, Bauer, Ray and Stroman are probably the top of the market so you never know how desperate club will get. One thing I know - we need to bring another solid SP on board. We got Giolito, Keuchel, and Cease. I'd save one spot for Kopech/Dunning/Lopez, though I think Lopez is pretty much done as starter at this point, and I'd be very surprised if Rodon is even on this team next year. Can't rely on those guys to fill 2 spots, so need to go get someone this offseason if you want 2021 to be a legit contender in a normal season.
  15. Sure, but to say he shouldn’t be DFA’d?? Who wants that kid eating more MLB innings?
  16. His purpose is to allow McCann and Grandal to both be in the lineup a few times a week. But yeah.
  17. Grandal played something like 154 games last year. He’s already set a few this year. When he’s not catching, he needs to be at 1B or DH the vast majority of the time. I am fine with McCann catching a couple times a week, but sitting Grandal is super stupid, especially when Abreu is in the lineup against RHP.
  18. DFAing Basabe was stupid. Once you DFA'd him, I guess getting something is better than nothing.
  19. Renteria is awful. Plain awful. But I think he's probably the guy for the forseeable future.
  20. Anderson, Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Grandal, Abreu, Encarnacion, Mazara, Leury/Madrigal is fine with me. So long as Robert is moved to third if he's not leadoff, I don't really care. Batting him outside the top 3 is insanely stupid. But we all know Ricky isn't moving Abreu off the 3 hole.
  21. I thought you can only trade guys on your 60 man roster?
