I’m hoping the Sox place Crochet on the IL after every few starts to preserve his arm, so he can last the whole season. The Dodgers would do this to lessen the load on their young arms and often injured pitchers like Kershaw/May.
The Sox have acquired so much pitching depth since last season’s trade deadline that they can easily pluck someone from the 40 man to replace Crochet for a start or two.
Grossman is much much needed on this team/org because he walks like 15% of the time (league average is around 7.5%). The Sox needs more guys who see a lot of pitches and take their walks. Grossman is a welcome addition
56-106.
A perfect season for the Sox has them trading all vets of value by the trade deadline including Luis Robert. It’s going to be ugly year round for this team. The only thing that matters is identifying the next core guys and getting them experience
