46DidIt

Zavala is way more than a 40 prospect. Depending on the source, the Sox did acquire three top 100 prospects. Baseball America for example had Iriarte ranked as high as 100 and Zavala in the 70s.

Pillars don’t get benched

I think third is his weakest position. He’s played way more at second and shortstop

Damn I did’t realize Bo was so racist

No, you are inferring it from his posts. He would be conferring it, if that is indeed the case. Inference is done by the recipient

Two years of service time were essentially wasted

It’s not that he would have been where he is now sooner, it’s that he’d be where he is now with like two years less service time.

Maybe he wants the babies

On May 22, 2022 TA was sporting a slash line of .359/.400/.517. Then the story about TA saying Josh Donaldson’s calls him Jackie went national and he hit .246/.283/.286 the rest of the way, with 1 HR and 6 RBI. Then followed with the disastrous last two years. Bizarre

Nah there was a thread (at least one) with people specifically claiming there is no way he can physically handle more than 75 or 80 innings

That’s good news

You said an entire rotation including a couple TOR studs. Whether they can get five reliable starters out of that I’m not so sure either

They do??

Dude has made four starts at low A and one at rookie ball and you have him pegged for the ‘26 rotation? ?

He definitely was as bad as everyone made it seem in 2023. 6.79 ERA, 36 BB in 58 innings, -0.9 WAR

Soroka in his last four appearances has struck out 16 in 8.2 IP with a 1.04 ERA and .484 OPS against, though. He did actually look pretty damn good against the Dodgers

No offense but whaat a pile a s%*# thread

For this team to win 80 games, the season would have to be 312 games long.

Sail the ocean Sail with me

There are currently 22 teams within four games of a wildcard or better and plenty of them are running out worse starters than Flexen. A few injuries pile up, Flexen strings together a couple decent starts. Definitely could be moved. With expanded playoff format, TDL is obvious seller’s market

Fire KatZ

A 45 prospect is going to look pretty bad for Kopech a year from now when he’s pitching like Reynaldo Lopez

Plus or minus 55 points of OBP, anyway

Just looking at Reynaldo shows Katz should be fired.

According to baseball reference, he’s 3rd among pitchers. I’m scoring that another point for bWAR over fWAR
