If he stays anywhere close to where he has been, he is as good as gone.

Look if they were looking at the pre-injury Jake Eder, there is no way in hell that Jake Burger is enough to get him. We got a scratch and dent discount on a potential lefty starter they wouldn't have had a chance at otherwise. Could he never bounceback? Sure. That was always a chance. Even if he had stayed healthy, he might not have made it. But for a Jake Burger, it is worth a shot at a return to prior form. It is the type of shot a team with no talent in the system should be taking.

I am on team HODL

Not really. It means they sold at peak value. The return is a different story. They bought low on Eder. And if you look around Eders trend line as he gets innings back on his arm, he's trending forward. Last 3 starts are a 4.02 era, 23 Ks in 16 innings including a .421 BABiP

Ah that Stank... smells like a high school football locker room after 2 a days.

We are now on the the "ineffective" step

Or... and this might be completely crazy... but putting to much weight into MiLB numbers after a draft year is not a good idea.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

I'd like to think that conversation by Martin with Kopech kept him from melting down.

Sox>Rays

Kopech is baseball stupid.

Maldanados last 8 AB = 7Ks

Some Soxish stupid baseball right there by Tampa
