Weird. Tepera was great last year. Liam has been very good the last two years. Graveman has been good this year.

poppysox Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 19 hours ago, JoeC said: A little confused by this. McGuire was acquired as a minor upgrade to backup catcher. The org viewed Seby as an adequate back-up now (nobody considered him as such in the offseason), so McGuire became expendable. Not sure how that constitutes a "failed" acquisition. This is it in a nutshell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge piece that finally gives them the ability to neutralize LHH. When healthy, I’m not sure there’s a deeper bullpen in the AL than the Sox.

Maybe not Yankee/Astro's good...but you never know what injuries and setbacks the other guys are having at playoff time. Get to the playoffs and have momentum and a little luck.

If Giolito and Lynn “get right”, this team coasts to a division title and becomes very dangerous in October. Big if but not unrealistic either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I don’t think Diekman is as good as he looks now, and I don’t think he’s as bad as he’ll look when he inevitably has a few straight outings where he’s walking every other guy 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So his name is somehow closer to Dickman than Dickman’s. Sorry if this was already posted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
