Eder may have found something.

Getz has done enough dumb s%*# to warrant getting whacked already. You know Jerry won't do it though. I suggest everyone click on my avatar and take note. It says: The less we care, the happier we'll be.

Really interested to see Eder tonight, box score looked like he may have found something the last time out.

Yeah, same here. It was a terrible trade because of his age. If he was 24 then at least he'd have a few years to figure his s%*# out, but at 26......not so much.

There are two eras of the NFL Anything before 1966 and everything afterwards. Nobody cares about the before times.

Fletcher for Mena is already a horrid trade. Was the day it was made. Fletcher seems to be more AAAA fodder like Sosa.

Crochet is getting lit up. Lots of hard contact.

Look at what Sosa is doing in Charlotte and remember what he did with the Sox. Then apply that to every hitter that goes through Charlotte. Means nothing until they perform in Chicago.

But he's bad at baseball.

I find it hard to believe that. Burger was a fun player, but he objectively sucked with the Sox. Again, outside of a 6 week heater he brings nothing but slug. 2012 Adam Dunn had more value, because at least Dunn still got on base. I find it hilarious how Dunn is reviled by Sox fans and Burger is beloved because Dunn was objectively a better player. More power and more On base. All I can think of is that it has to do with salary figures. That's Jerry's money, not yours.

Thank you.

I know that Eder is 25 but he's got all season to figure it out. I wonder if the common denominator for Eder being ok before the trade and terrible afterward and Burger taking off with Miami is that the Sox are a terrible organization.

Think about who Jake Burger has been outside of the 2nd half of 2023. Burger is all slug. He brings nothing else to the table. He hit .216 and had an OBP below .300 for the Sox. It was a miracle they were able to get Eder for him. When the deal happened, I thought the Marlins were on drugs. I will disagree that Burger had actual value when they traded him.

Hahn did a solid on his final trades. Even Burger for Eder is a wash at worst right now. Sure, Burger had a solid half season for Miami but he's also a 28 year old DH. Eder could still be something. Hahn was good at one thing, and that was selling.

IIRC he got full rest for all of them.
