BamaDoc Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Interesting. He was a guy I mentioned as being effected by three batter rule as he has terrible splits. RH batters crush him. Maybe the AL east has lots of lefties. Edited October 31, 2019 by BamaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 He was on my non-tender list, so not too concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba phillips Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The fact that Boston jumped on him the same day he was released says something. Stats not too bad: ERA of 4.66, 4:1 K to BB ratio, 8.1 K/ 9. Only bad stat: 15 HR in 67 + innings pitched. (Verlander-like ratio 😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ALL in the name of speeding up the game. It' also benefits the hitters and we all know offense is more attractive to fans than great pitching .

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Not at all a loss. Guy is already 31 with little to no success at the MLB level. Sox can do better for a 3rd lefty option out of the pen. Great to see the 40-man getting trimmed rather quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are planning on adding 10 guys in the Rule 5 draft. Edited November 1, 2019 by Timmy U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just now, ChiSox59 said: Frare will definitely be safe. Others maybe not. Agree to disagree. Frare was horrific this past year. Don’t know what happened to him, but it was rough. Point is, the Sox 40 man had a lot of really bad players on it. Probably farther from contending than they think.

Point is, the Sox 40 man had a lot of really bad players on it. Probably farther from contending than they think. Frare was in fact awful this year. Both in the bigs and AAA. But he’s got a great arm, throws left handed and is still just 26. Of all the guys you listed, he is definitely the safest, I’d be surprised to see him outrighted or DFAd this winter. He’s the first lefty reliever depth piece after Bummer and Fry with Osish now gone. But ya, point remains. Sox 40 man is effectively at like 27/28 guys who will be there after ST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Haven't removed anyone surprising but what do you guys think is the reasoning behind such deep cuts? Must be clearing space for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be clearing space for some reason. They had to add three guys from the 60 day DL and they’ll have to protect a half dozen prospects in the coming month or so.
