How long until they bench Benintendi?

Moncada was also worth 4 fwar in 2021.

The jury is still out on Shirley but the early returns are promising Crochet, Montgomery, Schultz, Gonzalez. I'm not sure that Gonzalez was a Shirley pick because one of these things is not like the others; one of these things does not belong.

As of right now Getz is more of a clown than Hahn. We shall see if he learns on the job or not.

Doesn't miss enough bats regardless.

Fedde regression szn

I don't think he has any value until July 2025 at the earliest.

The question on Crochet is that he's likely to bolt in FA before the Sox are any good. He only has 2 years of team control left after this year. I believe in the stuff.

Dumb ass baserunning.

I feel like Colson needed more time in Birmingham. I'm seeing the same pattern of rushing prospects as the previous regime. He has looked terrible aside from the occasional XBH in the upper minors. Also feel like they're making the same mistake with Schultz and Gonzalez. They're not ready for Birmingham.

This is great

So are they going to let Schultz pitch like a normal minor league starter in 2025 or are they going to continue to watch his innings?

I would honestly rather watch Nastrini and Cannon.

He's been garbo in Charlotte. It's not like he's even forcing the issue

I hope he stays healthy and the Sox can get something like what they got for Cease in the 2025-26 offseason. You're right, there's probably no way he's signing anything only 2 years from FA.

How is that worth it for the Sox though? It's really hard to find something that works for both sides at this point.

Yeah this is the dillemma. I think a lot of Sox fans are talking about a re-sign because they know Crochet has little value on the trade market due to lack of track record. They're not going to be able to trade him until he's in his walk year and that's if everything goes perfectly and his injuries are behind him.

Yeah I think you have to think of signing Crochet to a team friendly deal. An extension that gives him security while also having him reach FA at 30 or 31 makes sense. Also Hahn/KW are idiots not starting him. But who knows how much he would have pitched due to the injuries.

lol. I don't have the milb package so I can't watch, so I have to rely on those who do. Eder still had 7 k in 5 innings so he's starting to miss bats again.

Disappointed that Eder couldn't keep the momentum going, but it sounds like his defense let him down today
