There are relievers who look like toast one year and then look better the next year. Holland got off to an awful start with St. louis last year and has turned around to be the reliever we should have signed this year instead of Herrera. See how he is next May and then we'll talk.3 points

Like who? Blake Rutherford? Or quickly scroll through the list of HS kids that worked out and say one of them. Also, at various points in time, all three of those guys were top 100 prospects. Hansen lead the minors in strikeouts in 2017 and Burdi was probably the premier relief prospect in the game before his TJS (FG loved the kid). Arguing against their draft strategy is fair game, but to say they punted away an entire draft is beyond idiotic. Two years ago, this draft class looked like an absolute haul when you also factor in Lambert, Flores, & Hamilton. You are using revisionist theory to fulfill your negativity agenda.2 points

Plus it’s been barely any games. It is worth giving him time to learn etc. the overreactions some people have on this board is just crazy. Especially for a team that isn’t contending this year.2 points

Dude, that's a #1 draft pick Catchers with a career +.800 OPS in the minors. I need a little bit of what you're smoking, at least would make this game a little more enjoyable.2 points

I'm not a MLBer obviously but if someone called in off waivers was batting cleanup after batting 220 in AAA I'd kinda question WTF my manager was doing.2 points

Outside of Semien who developed nicely. I don‘t lose sleep over the other guys. Sox got a comp pick out of the deal as well.2 points

I believe his ERA is possibly under 2.00 since he moved to the pen about 18-20 innings ago.2 points

This trade would make me so angry that ironically it would make me want to go home and beat up my wife 😂. I’d not do this from a value or a moral stand point.2 points

This thread is an absolute blast with some legendary hot takes. I skimmed through pages 45 to 55 and here are some of my favorite posts. Good thing Tommy Longo isn’t around to read his “awesome” takes, although One Dog has seemed to take his spiritual place.2 points

With the #10 pick in that draft I would have gone with a high upside prep talent. The Sox used their first three picks on Zach Collins, Zach Burdi, and Alec Hansen. They basically punted away an entire draft.1 point

He took the first 3 pitches off the plate nicely. Also, Charlotte is in nbc sports Chicago tomorrow1 point

You as well. I'm ready to report for reeducation camp. I will only go though if I can bring my brother in law and best friend with me.1 point

A 24 year old with an .800 career OPS in AAA!? Well, that changes everything. .800 OPS... and in AAA? Man oh man. This guy is something special. lol I thought the guy hitting .040 with a K% just under 50% looked overmatched. But now that I hear about this MAMMOTH .800 AAA OPS. Nobody has ever failed in the big leagues after eye popping numbers like that. I was definitely a fool for suggesting that the guy who might as well be swinging a wiffle ball bat up there looked overmatched. I must be so F'ING high! Maybe if we gave him full-time AB's - he could get that batting average up to .100. We'll call it... getting above the "Zack Collins line".1 point

chill out internet tough guy. Not all the prospects are going to pan out or hit their ceilings. JR is going to have to spend some big $$ in FA or this rebuild is never going to work.1 point

Not based on statistics, but my gut tells me you're correct here. It seems like scrambling to work out on a Saturday morning, hit confession, and handle my other business all so that I'm home and relaxed by the time the game comes on just to then be looking for something else to do a few minutes later is a recurring motif this year.1 point

Last in the league right? This organization is so incompetent when it comes to analytics.1 point

Sox might want to fire whoever is responsible for their defensive positioning scouting.1 point

I guess this is why we should've kept Despaigne...right now it would be handy to have a guy that doesn't need to warm up before coming in1 point

Reinsdorf still shuffling Titanic deck chairs. Spend some damn money, man. Start stabilizing this pitching staff.1 point

I guess you didn‘t get the memo: Nobody at AA is a prospect anymore because they had slow starts. Might as well release Sheets and Rutherford.1 point

I was just thinking the same thing. No need to rush him. The last 50% of games he’s played in AAA, he’s averaging only one extra base hit per game.1 point

so reed comes in and is ahead of eloy now? I mean whatever, rick going to rick.1 point

Very good points. I'd also like Robert to be up to get acclimated by Jose as well. Having an entire offseason to get mentorship for the game and city life here by Abreu, Moncada, Timmy, and Eloy gets that bonding in motion.1 point

It would make more sense to bring him up soon to learn at the mlb level so that he van go into the offseason with fixing tweaks in mind. I get the year of control argument, but we have a chance to make some serious noise next year. If this was last year I wiuld be for holding him down, but meaningful baseball is soon, very soon.1 point

We took a wrong turn on our way out, and we ran into Jason bennetti and Steve Stone! Jason is just as dry and funny in real life. Shit game but this made the night for me1 point

People were so excited to get out in front of the Moncada sucks train to feel smart should he have always been meh. I’ll be the first to admit I was way down on giolito, and was only hoping for a competent major leaguer, but I never got the quitting on Moncada.1 point
