Confused why they are even allowing him to start

He's only a 150 wRC+ player In AA at 20 years old. No big deal.

Inexplicable. Saw that and posted on it the other day. FGs has some strange evals at times. They had him 33rd preseason.

Kindly, f*ck off Yankees!

I’m not doomsday posting. I just don’t think Getz wants to give up the prospect talent for Detmers and I don’t think Jerry will approve adding the salary for two rentals like Ray and Holmes. If I’m right, can I come back and s%*# talk you for being a homer? The funny thing is that you could look up your own posts at every trade deadline over the previous years and how you expected great things but ultimately ended up being disappointed in what the Sox came away with at the start of August. Jerry still owns the team afterall.

Detmers is completely different. He won’t be a Sox because of his low salary, control, and prospect demand that Getz won’t want to pay, which is understandable. They didn’t just acquire Urquidy just to pitch innings at Charlotte. He will pitch starter inning for the Sox at some point this season.

He’s just doomsday posting…the Panicans love being negative about everything to help suppress expectations.

I first thought this thread was about moving him down to AAA. I was ready to explode.

The horror.

Robbie Ray hugwatch begins in 7 minutes.

Highly HIGHLY doubt they are thinking of this anymore after how horrible Shane has looked in his rehab starts. Have you watched him pitch at all over the last three weeks? It has been UGLY.

Detmers makes like $3M full season, so yes we can afford him and one bloated salary rental like Ray. It’s simple math based on the huge revenue increase vs. expectations and is being reported everywhere. Not sure why you keep puking out this Urguidy nonsense unless you’re purposely cosplaying as Jack Parkman.

That's disappointing. I don't think he'll ever be better than a #4 or #5 guy with that velocity.

Yea… only see it if you could bring in someone like Miller… which I think is a long shot.

All year he has struggled with RISP which fits his three true outcome profile. Additionally he has been in a slump over a 30 game period now whereas he’s striking out at a 30% clip and is only hitting a bomb at about a 1 in 30 ab pace. That isn’t getting it done from the cleanup spot. So, while I’m still a huge believer in this kid, I do think it might be a good time to move him down to 5th, 6th, or 7th in the lineup… and move someone else into the cleanup spot who can help us improve our team LOB numbers. We finally saw it today with Grich in the 4 hole. What say ya‘ll?

Fangraphs is a joke. The Athletic/Keith Law had him at 30 at least.

Yeah I think it was a positive step even though he doesn’t look quite ready yet.

Smith wasn’t good, but I’ll take 7 K’s, 2 BB’s, & 0 HR’s over 4 IPs.

Bonemer just missed his 2nd HR of the game (deep fly to warning track in center)

Fangraphs dropped him down to 98 on their update lol. Weird. Edit: 99th!

He should have been a top 10 guy in the mid season rankings.

You’ll get one and Urquidy and pray that he pitches like it’s 2022. Regardless of what delusional @Chicago White Sox thinks, Jerry ain’t eating millions of dollars in salary on two rental dumps. They will also bank on Shane Smith returning.

It’s must be hotter than hell to be playing baseball right now in Arizona.

Another HR for Shelton too. He has been red hot this week.

Feels like a shady drug deal.
